摘要:
The invention provides, in one aspect, a method of making a cocoa-containing food product or ingredient and preserving the levels of a particular polyphenol compound, a collection of polyphenol compounds, and/or total polyphenols present. Certain commonly used baking methods for chocolate cakes and food products use leavening agents that create an alkaline condition that effectively degrades cocoa polyphenols. By monitoring the pH or by adjusting certain alkaline agents or leavening agents used, baked products can be prepared that preserve about 75% or more of the initial cocoa polyphenols present. Food products, cocoa-containing food products, baking mixes and kits, and baked food products produced from the methods are also disclosed.

A method, apparatus and computer-usable medium for: receiving a user input to activate a clip utility within an open application window; enabling a selection of a particular portion of the open widow using a selection functionality of the clip utility, wherein the particular portion is less than a total area of the application window; and on receipt of a request to clip the selected portion while the portion is still selected, dynamically clipping the particular portion from the remainder of the application window and displaying only the clipped, particular portion of the open window as an separate window clip.
摘要:
A variable compression ratio internal combustion engine is programmably configured to operate in a plurality of compression ratios. Internal combustion engines with electronically controlled engine components that include electronic valve operation are programmed to operate individual engine cylinders with component states and stoke sequences that provide variable compression ratios by creation of a virtual cylinder within a physical cylinder. Cylinder volume dictates maximum compression ratio, which acts as a ceiling for the variable compression ratio that can be provided.

An article includes a colorant system which may be assessed for authenticity by assessing the visual color of a part and comparing the visual color of the authorized specific color to see if there is a color match and measuring a non-visible electromagnetic reflectance spectrum or portion thereof of the said part and comparing it to the authorized non-visible electromagnetic reflectance spectrum or portion thereof to see if there is an appropriate reflectance match.
摘要:
A system, method and apparatus for preparing mailpieces. An inserter system for assembling mailpieces is controlled in accordance with mailpiece records in a mailing control file. The inserter system scans control documents included in the mailpieces to identify corresponding mailpiece records. The records include information identifying a selected method of evidencing payment of postage for particular mailpieces. The system can include a plurality of envelope feeders at least some of which are loaded with envelopes pre-marked with evidence of payment, and can also include a plurality of mechanisms for franking mailpieces prepared with blank envelopes. A data processing system for generating document sets which include control documents is also disclosed.
摘要:
A vehicle and method for controlling an engine in a vehicle are provided. A temperature of a lubricating fluid in the engine is determined, as are first and second engine speed limits. Operation of the engine at the first engine speed limit is limited to a predetermined time period when the lubricating fluid temperature is between first and second predetermined temperatures. The engine speed is at least temporarily limited to the second engine speed limit after the engine has been operated at the first engine speed limit for the predetermined time period and the lubricating fluid temperature is between the first and second predetermined temperatures.
摘要:
A computer method that determines the best day of the week for a recipient to receive a mail piece that is part of a mailing campaign. The method includes by applying a unique code to each mail piece in the mailing; tracking the mail piece to determine when the mail piece is received by a recipient; correlating the recipient's response to information contained in the mail piece with the day of the week when the mail piece is delivered to the recipient.
