摘要:
The present invention includes a method for producing a chewing gum with a modified release sweetener selected from the group of N-substituted derivatives of aspartame, particularly neotame, as well as the chewing gum so produced. The modified release neotame or other N-substituted derivative of aspartame sweetener is obtained by physically modifying the sweetener properties by coating and drying. Neotame or another N-substituted derivative of aspartame sweetener is coated by encapsulation, partially coated by agglomeration, entrapped by absorption or extrusion, or treated by multiple steps of encapsulation, agglomeration, absorption, or extrusion. The coated sweetener is then co-dried and particle sized to produce a release-modified high-intensity sweetener. When incorporated into the chewing gum, these particles are adapted to enhance the shelf stability of the sweetener and/or produce a modified release when the gum is chewed.

Chewing gums and methods of making same that have improved flavor duration by stimulating a trigeminal nerve of a consumer of the chewing gum are provided. The chewing gums of the present invention includes a trigeminal stimulant. The trigeminal stimulant stimulates the trigeminal nerve of the consumer to provide longer lasting flavor duration.
摘要:
A method for producing a chewing gum, as well as the chewing gum so produced, incorporates a physiological cooling agent, such as acyclic carboxamide, or combinations of physiological cooling agents. In another embodiment a combination of physiological cooling agents is made in a modified release structure. The modified release/cooling agents combination is preferably obtained by physically modifying the properties of the combination of cooling agents by coating and drying. When incorporated into gum, these particles are adapted to enhance the shelf stability of the flavor and/or produce a modified release when the gum is chewed. In another embodiment, the physiological cooling agent is present with menthol and menthone. In another embodiment, coated chewing gum has a coating that comprises a physiological cooling agent. The preferred inventive chewing gum provides a high flavor impact in which the harsh notes normally associated with such a high flavor impact have been reduced or eliminated. In addition, the preferred inventive gum provides a clean, high-quality, cooling chewing gum coating with xylitol or other polyols where xylitol has been reduced in concentration or eliminated.
摘要:
An apparatus for athermal ablation of a workpiece. The apparatus may include a laser device to direct a laser beam at the workpiece to remove a plurality of sections from the workpiece by athermal ablation. The removal may occur in a plurality of discrete motions that cause the laser beam to trace along outer perimeters of the sections in a specific order maintaining mechanical stability of the plurality of sections. The apparatus may further include a process gas nozzle to deliver process gas coaxially with the laser beam to clear debris and cool the workpiece, and a workpiece holder to hold and maneuver the workpiece during the removal of the plurality of sections.

Described herein is a technology for supporting an efficient workflow. In one implementation, a computer system receives at least one image of a subject and at least one corresponding image finding (302). The image finding identifies one or more regions-of-interest in a subject area of the image. The computer system generates enhanced annotations based on the image finding (306), overlays the enhanced annotations on the image (310) and displays (312) the resulting image to facilitate image assessment by a skilled user.

A multipurpose power center comprises a housing, a cover member, a plurality of electrical outlets, an electrical cable, and a connection port coupled to the cover member. The housing has an outer surface, a top side, a bottom side, and an opening extending from the top side to the bottom side. The cover member is configured to encase the opening on the top side of the housing. The electrical outlets are positioned along the outer surface of the housing, and the electrical cable is connectable to a power source and configured to provide electrical power to the electrical outlets.

The present invention is generally directed to an oral composition comprising a calcium phosphate salt and a combination of acids having differing solubilities in the oral cavity, for tooth mineralization or remineralization. The presence of a combination of acids in the oral composition acts to maximize the release of calcium and phosphate ions from the oral composition over an extended period of time, in order to promote the precipitation of enamel-like crystals on the surfaces of the teeth, or in subsurface regions therein.

A vehicle and a method for oral care that includes Magnolia Bark Extract in combination with a surface active agent. The effectiveness of Magnolia Bark Extract in inhibiting biofilm formation in the oral cavity is increased by a synergistic combination of the Magnolia Bark Extract with a surface active agent in an oral cavity delivery agent, such as spray, mouthwash, toothpaste, dental cleaner, gel, dental floss, toothpick, dentifrice, and a denture cleaner.

A chewable oral composition for oral cleansing, breath freshening, and antimicrobial benefits includes fast release Magnolia Bark Extract in combination with a surface active agent. The effectiveness of Magnolia Bark Extract in inhibiting biofilm formation in the oral cavity is increased by a synergistic combination of the rapidly released Magnolia Bark Extract with a surface active agent in a chewable oral cavity delivery agent, such as chewing gum, chewable candy, and a soft tablet. The fast release of the antimicrobial agents is effectuated by encapsulation or coating of the oral cavity delivery agent.
摘要:
A friction assembly has a brake pad and a noise damping shim. The noise damping shim is engaged with a backing plate of the brake pad using a coupler. The coupler has a first coupler member formed on the backing plate and a second coupler member formed on the shim. In certain embodiments, the coupler may be a rivet coupler or a snap-in coupler.
