A bread cutting machine for bread has a receiving surface for receiving the bread to be cut, wherein the receiving surface has a first edge and an opposite second edge, and defines a receiving plane; a cutting device with an array of cutting blades placed at or near the first edge of the receiving surface, wherein the array of cutting blades defines a first plane; and a pushing device configured for pushing the bread to be cut along the receiving surface in a pushing direction extending between the first and second edges of the receiving surface, towards and/or beyond the cutting device. The pushing device includes a push surface for contacting the bread to be cut during pushing thereof. The push surface and/or the first plane are at an acute angle with respect to the pushing direction.

A dual slice bread machine for cutting slits into loaves of bread perpendicular to a conventional bread slice. The present system has an actuating rack having a series of regularly spaced piercing knives mounted thereon. The actuating rack is configured to be raised and lowered automatically. In use, a loaf of bread is placed underneath the actuating rack. When the actuating rack is lowered, the knives puncture the loaf, creating a series of vertical slits along the length of the loaf. The loaf is then cut with a conventional bread slicing machine where the slices alternate between a slice that dissects a vertical slit and a cut that is positioned exactly in between two adjacent vertical slits. This creates a loaf with slices having a centered living hinge capable of being easily folded and separated into equal halves.

A cutting device for cutting-off pieces from an elongated workpieces, in particular a tube, having a proximal side, a distal side and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal side. The cutting device includes a cutting unit having a blade coupled with a blade drive. The blade is reversibly movable via the blade drive between retracted and advanced blade positions. The cutting device includes a proximal support structure arranged with respect to the longitudinal axis proximal of the blade and is configured to guide a distal part of the workpiece to be movable in parallel to and aligned with the longitudinal axis. The cutting device includes a feeder unit including a suction gripper configured for suction-coupling with the elongated workpiece. The feeder unit includes a suction gripper drive, coupled with the suction gripper, configured for moving the suction gripper parallel to the longitudinal axis in a reversible manner.

A bread slicer includes an input compartment for a loaf of bread to be sliced and an output compartment for the sliced loaf. Blades for slicing the loaf are arranged substantially parallel to one another between the compartments. A thrust means extends at least on the side of the input compartment and permits exertion of a push force on the loaf while the latter is moving through the set of blades by clamping the loaf between the thrust means and the base of the input compartment. The base and the thrust means define a passage in the input compartment for the loaf. The thrust means presents a guiding plate with parallel recesses extending next to each other over the width of the passage. A mobile pusher device allows exertion of a pushing force on the loaf to move the loaf along the passage and through the set of blades.

A cutting or embossing tool for frozen confectionery products includes at least two elements, each element comprising a void with an inner contour corresponding to the outer contour of the product to be cut or embossed. At least one of the elements comprises at least one knife or embosser with a blade or an embossing surface extending along the inner contour of the void. The tool can be used to cut lines or a line pattern shape into the surface of a frozen confectionery product, in particular in coating.

A device, method, and computer readable medium are provided for transitioning risk analysis. The method includes providing a first risk assessment, and providing a second risk analysis program that generates risk assessments based on a transformation model configured to convert risk based on (1) a first reference rate, and (2) one or more risk functions for one or more first instruments, into risk based on a second reference rate. The method includes generating a second risk assessment with the second risk analysis program, based on the first risk assessment and one or more target instruments that incorporate risk based on the second reference rate, the one or more target instruments being associated with a product or service.
