The process provides particulate flavor compositions having a flavor oil fixed in a particulate polyol material. It consists in mixing a mono- or disaccharide, a polysaccharide and water with a minor but flavor effective amount of a flavor oil such that the resulting particular flavor compositions possess a Tg below room temperature, and extruding the resulting homogeneous substrate at a temperature to form a melt which on cooling solidifies as a hard rubbery amorphous material having the flavor oil entrapped therein.

Methods and apparatus may be used to provide cycle accurate time stamping at line rate throughput. This may be done, for example, to allow a NTP processing device to process timing requests at line rate throughput without packets being dropped and/or without overflowing a buffer. The NTP processing device may be able to handle timing request such as ARP request, NTP request, a combination thereof, or the like. The NTP processing device may be able to receive and process timing requests, such as NTP requests or ARP requests, at a line rate throughput. The NTP processing device may be able to generate timing responses, such as NTP responses or ARP responses, at line rate throughput.

A loyalty program is enabled by a data collection set-up. The data collection set-up collects and transmits both the loyalty data and the product barcode data to a server. The server links the product barcode to a customer's purchase profile and issues messages where appropriate. The messages may comprise a redeemable voucher that bears a unique barcode, or an error message that informs the customer and the retailer that an invalid loyalty card or voucher has been scanned. The product barcode data may be cross checked with a marketing database so that the server may enable manufacturers or other goods suppliers to provide targeted advertising.

Simulated tiki décor including furniture and the method of molding the décor are provided. The molded simulated tiki décor has at least one decorative tiki god face and tree trunk appearance on a surface thereof. The furniture has a substantially cylindrical body upon which there is at least one decorative tiki god face and tree trunk appearance on an outer peripheral surface. The substantially cylindrical body has a substantially flat top surface to support an object and/or a person. The simulated tiki décor including the furniture not only looks real and very much like an actual wood tiki but it is also very durable being molded with concrete or the like. The simulated tiki furniture may be made in multiples using the same mold.
摘要:
A device for carrying out chemical or clinical testing of a liquid sample, for example a urine sample, by a specific binding assay, said device comprising a test component (2) which has a sensitized solid surface (2a) carrying an immobilized component of a specific binding pair relevant to the assay, and a handling piece (1), and characterized in that the test component (2) bearing the sensitized surface (2a) is removably mounted in spaced relationship with a removably mounted accessory component (4) carrying an accessory solid surface (5), and in that there is a space (4a) between the sensitized surface (2a) and the removable accessory component (4) to act as a container for sample liquid, so that when the device is contacted with a sample liquid source or immersed in liquid which is to provide the test sample, liquid of the sample can enter the space (4a) to contact the sensitized surface (2a), and the accessory surface (5) acts to retain and contain sample liquid in contact with the sensitized surface (2a) even after removal of the device from further contact with or immersion in the source of sample liquid, and in that the test component (2) is so formed that after removal of the removable accessory component (4) the sensitized surface (2a) is left exposed and accessible to further treatment liquid such as washing liquid and/or reagents.

A data distribution fabric enabled over a communications network. The fabric comprises several edge servers that engage in bidirectional communication with one another over the network. One of the edge servers has read/write access to a backup database and is a backup server. A data or a software application stored in the local hard disk or local cache of an edge server is accessible by all other edge servers within the fabric. A data that matches a report profile is added to the corresponding report, so that the data reporting is customizable and continuously updatable.
摘要:
An apparatus for collecting and transmitting a retail data comprising a barcode data of the products purchased over each transaction. The apparatus comprises a terminal device that has loaded onto it a retail information collection application that receives, stores, processes, and transmits the retail data. Financial data such as credit card numbers and personal identification numbers are removed from the retail data before it is encrypted and transmitted over a network to a retail database. Clients including but not limited to goods suppliers and goods manufacturers may view retail data, including sales history and sales performance, on one or more products.

An improved communication system, receiver, and method are provided that can reduce input voltages received by the receiver whenever those voltages extend upward to the maximum common-mode voltage range. A detect circuit determines whether the input voltages are at or near the maximum range. If so, the detect circuit sends a control signal to a level shift circuit which will reduce the input voltages by a predefined amount. The reduced voltages can then be forwarded to a sense circuit which preferably operates at a power supply voltage that is less than the maximum differential input voltage (i.e., the maximum voltage on the differential pair of signals), or less than the maximum common-mode voltage of the differential input signals. The sense circuit can thereby operate at a relatively wide common-mode voltage range, and utilizes a lower power supply voltage. The sense circuit can also be made up of a relatively simple differential pair of transistors with corresponding resistor loads in order to sense a differential input voltage range of, for example, 800 millivolts to 2.4 volts prior to voltage reduction, and 800 millivolts to 2.0 volts after voltage reduction.
