摘要:
Soy-containing confectionaries or nutritional compositions (especially nutritional bar) containing deflavored soy protein material are provided. The deflavored soy protein materials may be dispersed through out the preferred nutritional bars or, more preferably, dispersed with chocolate or caramel layers or bits covering or containing within the nutritional bars.

Described herein are methods and compositions for repositioning micronutrients, especially calcium, in a food product, such as a nutritional bar, to minimize hardness and extend shelf-life. The methods and compositions of the present invention include applying a layer of a micronutrient, especially calcium, fortified matrix to a food bar core. The matrix is a low moisture confectionary layer or coating, preferably a chocolate or caramel layer or coating having calcium, or other micronutrient, solubilized therein. The resultant food product advantageously contains a substantial amount of essential micronutrients without adversely effecting organolpetic qualities such as texture.

A low-calorie nutrition energy food bar with high fiber and reduced sugar alcohol contents, which have excellent flavor and multi-texture properties, is provided. The food bar has less than 110 Cal/28 g serving, and includes a core component comprising, as a unitary matrix, protein crisps, caramel, water-soluble dietary fiber, and a binder system; a caramel component; and the core component and caramel components are enrobed with a compound coating layer. The low-calorie food bar has a high protein core component and a caramel component formulated with high water-soluble dietary fiber content which is cohesive, crunchy yet soft/moist enough to be chewable, and flavorful throughout the product's shelf life.

Methods and systems for linking input control signals, such as control signals used to control aspects of aircraft operation. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving first and second force signals corresponding to first and second forces applied to first and second controllers. The method can further include directing first and second position signals to the first and second controllers to move the first and second controllers to approximately the same positions. Each force signal is transmitted along a signal path, and the signal paths can be linked at a point where the signals on each path correspond to a quantity other that a position of a controller. The signal paths can be linked such that only one of the forces must exceed a threshold value for both controllers to be moved, and if one of the forces is outside a selected limit range, that force can be at least partially discounted.

A method of producing a cereal bar is provided in which the cereal comprises a cereal mixture including ready-to-eat (RTE) cereal pieces joined together with a binder, where the cereal and binder together form a cereal matrix which is heated for a time and temperature to reduce the water activity of the external portion thereof while maintaining an internal portion of the cereal matrix at a higher second water activity. The method provides cereal bars requiring less compressive force to be formed into a cohesive self-supporting structure in providing a chewy reduced-density cereal bar with improved shelf life.
摘要:
A circuit breaker having separable contacts, thermal and magnetic trip means, a flexible conductive braid connecting the contacts and the trip means, and a latch mechanism for producing a series of vibrating impacts upon overcurrent conditions also includes a latch member of electrically insulating material to prevent undesirable parallel current paths and to increase the interruption current rating of the breaker.

A multi-pole circuit breaker system includes a plurality of individual circuit breakers and at least one tripping action transfer device disposed between adjacent circuit breakers. The tripping action transfer device includes a lever pivotally supported at one end and carrying a rod shaped transfer member at its other end. The transfer member extends into the interior of the housings of adjacent circuit breakers and cooperates with their tripping mechanisms. A tripping operation of one circuit breaker engages the transfer member and causes actuation of the tripping mechanism of the adjacent breaker to initiate simultaneous tripping thereof.
摘要:
A voltage to current converter that can provide multiple current sources at differing voltage levels using a single inductor, without the need to provide a current sense element, pass element, and wiring to provide feedback for load current regulation. A switching inductor current is regulated such that the average current supplied by the inductor is equal to a user determined set point or points for a set of multiplexed loads. The inductor current levels are sampled and stored, and the average current level for each load is determined based on the sampled current levels. The average current levels are compared to a current level set point or set point signals to determine an error signal for each load current. The error signal for each current is amplified and filtered to provide duty cycle control terms. The duty cycle control terms are converted to pulse width modulated control signals by a pulse width modulator. The pulse width modulated control signals control the duration of switch states to energize and discharge the inductor to provide regulated average current levels to the multiple load channels.
摘要:
A holder for ferrous object, comprising: a holder body formed of a ferrous material and having at least one channel, the channel having a width and a depth; and a plurality of magnet members positioned in the at least one channel, the holder body and magnet members defining, in combination, a holding surface for magnetically securing ferrous objects.
摘要:
A protein system for food products containing a moisture source is provided comprising a combination of intact proteins, casein, and partially hydrolyzed dairy protein and partially hydrolyzed legume protein in a total amount effective to reduce mixing time and/or shear requirements, and reduce firmness development during processing and storage of the food products to increase shelf life. The reduced firmness is achieved without embittering the food product by using a protein blend delivering a unique balance of partially hydrolyzed and intact proteins, and casein. Methods of making the food products with the protein blends are also covered.
