摘要:
Aspects of the invention relate to beverage compositions, including, for example, concentrated and ready-to-drink formulations sweetened with at least one non-nutritive sweetener and further including a long chain fatty acid compound in an amount sufficient to reduce the off-note taste of the non-nutritive sweetener. In certain embodiments, the long chain fatty acid may be one or more of the following: lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, arachidic acid, behenic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, erucic acid, adipic acid, and palmitic acid. In certain exemplary embodiments, a plurality of different long chain fatty acids are utilized. In another embodiments, the long chain fatty acids comprise both natural and synthetic fatty acids.

The present invention provides a method for notifying a primary wireless unit in a group calling plan that a wireless unit in the group calling plan has call activity. An MSC determines if there is call activity on a wireless phone. The MSC determines if the wireless phone is a member of a call monitoring group. If so, the MSC records call information related to the call activity and sends the call information to the primary wireless unit.

A packaging film or sheet having a styrene-butadiene block copolymer directly melt-bonded to at least one layer of a cyclo-olefin copolymer is disclosed. The films may be made by means of co-extrusion. The packaging film is amenable to thermoforming processes and is particularly suitable for forming blister packaging used in pharmaceutical applications.

The present invention is an Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) based system and method that allows a subscriber connected to the Internet via a dial-up connection to receive caller identification information concerning an incoming telephone call. The information may be provided via a pop-up dialog box on the subscriber's display, which includes but is not limited to a monitor of a personal computer (PC). The information displayed to the subscriber includes the name and number of the calling party, if available. In addition, several disposition options are presented to the subscriber solely via the Internet which, upon selection, determine the handling of the incoming call.
摘要:
An executing computer program is debugged by the use of an events table comprising a plurality of table entries, each table entry comprising an event description describing an event occurring during execution of the executing computer program; a debugger description specifying a debugger to be invoked to debug the executing computer program upon an occurrence of the event; and debugger options to be passed to the debugger upon invocation of the debugger. Debugging the executing computer program comprises monitoring for the event; detecting the event; gathering event information beyond the event description; searching the event table responsive to the detection of the event; finding the table entry corresponding the event; responsive to the finding of the table entry, invoking the debugger specified by the debugger description in the table entry corresponding the event; passing the debugger options to the debugger; and passing the event information to the debugger. A first table entry may be used to invoke a first debugger responsive to a first event, and a second table entry may be used to invoke a second debugger responsive to a second event.
摘要:
A circuit and a method for decoding a color code of a 3D display. The color code decoding circuit is built into an on-screen display of a circuit in a display. The color code decoding circuit has several comparators, several recording buffers, a register, a first counter and a second counter. The comparators read a 3D image signal and compare this 3D image signal with a reference signal to obtain a color code value by decoding. The color code value is then recorded in the recording buffer.

A wireless electronic device with a kinetic-energy-to-electrical-energy converter is disclosed. In one embodiment, the wireless electronic device comprises a control mechanism, a kinetic-energy-to-electrical-energy converter, and a movable user interface element, wherein movement of the movable user interface element provides both signal information to the control mechanism and kinetic energy to the kinetic-energy-to-electrical-energy converter. The kinetic-energy-to-electrical-energy converter converts kinetic energy provided by movement of the movable user interface element to electrical energy and provides the electrical energy to the wireless electronic device. In one embodiment, the wireless electronic device takes the form of a radio frequency identification (RFID) device with multiple identifiers and a control input.

The invention includes a tendon stripper comprising: (a) a frame, including a cautery, that is adapted to separate surrounding tissue along a length of a tendon; (b) a handle mounted to the frame that is adapted to reposition the frame with respect to the tendon; and (c) an actuator in communication with the cautery and operative to activate the cautery, where activation of the cautery is adapted to sever the tendon. The invention also includes a method of stripping a tendon comprising: (a) exposing a tendon; (b) aligning a tendon stripper guide with respect to a first location to the tendon; (c) repositioning the tendon stripper guide along the tendon from the first location of the tendon to a second location of the tendon, where the act of repositioning of the tendon stripper guide is operative to separate surrounding tissue from the tendon between the first location and the second location; (d) activating a cautery to sever the tendon approximate the second location; and (e) cutting the tendon at a location other than the second location to provide a tendon segment.
