摘要:
The present invention is directed to a confectionary item comprising: (a) a tackified matrix core upon which a matrix of non-homogenous powdered materials is formed by applying: (b) at least one deposit of binder that adheres to the gelatin flavored matrix core; (c) a powdered deposit of edible water soluble carbohydrate exhibiting a negative heat of solution; (d) optional additional alternating deposits of (b) and (c) above; (e) an optional, powdered deposit of a low-hygroscopic flow agent applied over the powdered layers (b), (c) and (d) where (d) is applied, which low hygroscopic flow agent can be applied after an optional preceding deposit of aqueous solution of water-soluble binder; and (f) an optional layer of protective coating of a confectioner's glaze and/or confectioner's shellac. The present invention is also directed to the process of making the confectionary item.

The invention provides, in one aspect, a method of making a confectionery packet or sachet formed with an edible film and enclosing a center composition. The packet or sachet can be designed to be placed in the mouth, where the film dissolves and the center composition is released. In preferred embodiments, the center composition comprises a sugar alcohol, such as xylitol, that creates a cooling sensation. Many other flavors and/or colors or sensates can also be used in the center composition, and some embodiments include breath-freshening, anti-bacterial, nutriceutical, or pharmaceutical compositions in the center composition. The invention also comprises the edible packets or sachets, especially those composed of film with a desired retained water level suitable for producing a self-sealing film and/or an edible film packet that is stable at room temperature for at least six to twelve months.

A chewing gum comprising a solid shaped chewing gum composition sanded with a sugar alcohol having a negative heat of solution and a method of mixing same. The method involves coating solid pieces of chewing gum composition with a wetting syrup and sanding the wetted pieces with sugar alcohol crystals. The chewing gum is characterized by intense initial cooling and flavor release.

摘要:
A system and a method for creating user interfaces for software applications. Particularly, the invention allows a developer to segregate the development of the user interface from the development of the underlying application logic. In one embodiment, an application graphical user interface is specified using an XML document as an application interface file. At application compile time this application interface file is parsed, and the specification therein used to retrieve graphical screen components from an interface library to create the user interface. A grammar file can be used to further specify the parsing of the application interface file, and impose consistency upon the interface development process.

A communications device includes a symbol encoder for receiving data comprising a symbol and for receiving a first signal having a positive entropy. The symbol encoder adds to the first signal a plurality of delayed versions of the first signal. Each delayed version of the plurality of delayed versions has a plurality of available values. The symbol is represented by a set of delay values, a delay value of the set of delay values including an available value of the plurality of available values for the each delayed version of the plurality of delayed versions. The communications device also includes a transmitter for receiving the encoded data from the symbol encoder and for transmitting the encoded data. For example, the first signal having positive entropy includes a chaotic signal, noise signal, or a positive entropy, baseband signal modulated onto a positive entropy signal having a higher frequency than the baseband signal. For example, the chaotic signal includes a Lorenz system-generated chaotic signal or a Rossler system-generated chaotic signal. The communications device supports bandwidth-efficient transmission in communications media.

Systems and method are provided for providing a playlist transport bar. The playlist transport bar provides an overlay which graphically represents assets (e.g., programs) of a playlist in a manner that enables a user to simultaneously ascertain a playback position within the playlist and a particular asset. The playlist transport may include asset regions which each correspond to an asset in a playlist and a position indication region which may provide information relating to a playback position.
摘要:
Material such as chewing gum is treated to reduce its density by working it and feeding it through a twin-screw corotating extruder configured to provide flow at first and second longitudinal rates, pulling in a plane normal to the axis of flow, and further working and homogenization.

A brokered information sharing system including a primary broker configured with software to store cards of a principal, to transmit the cards when requested by the principal, to authenticate the principal, and to provide a master authentication of the principal to at least one issuing party. A selector is used by the principal and is configured with software to provide authentication of the principal to the primary broker, and to request and receive cards from the primary broker.
