Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing a chocolate product. The method includes delivering liquid chocolate having a viscosity through a pipe along a delivery path to a production station for producing the chocolate product. The liquid chocolate includes solid particles suspended within the liquid chocolate. The method changes the viscosity of the liquid chocolate by applying an electric field to the liquid chocolate in a direction along the delivery path of a strength and duration determined to aggregate the suspended solid particles into streamlined shapes extending along the direction of the delivery path.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing blood viscosity along a flow direction, suppressing turbulence in blood flow, and treating rouleaux are disclosed. One method includes applying a unidirectional magnetic field to a flow of blood in a direction parallel or antiparallel to a direction of the flow of blood, and maintaining the application of the unidirectional magnetic field to the flow of blood until a blood viscosity along the direction of the flow of blood is reduced and/or the turbulence in the blood flow is suppressed. One system includes an annular magnet sized to encircle a portion of a patient's body. The magnet is adapted to generate a unidirectional magnetic field in a region within the annular magnet. The unidirectional magnetic field has a strength sufficient to reduce the blood viscosity in the portion of the patient's body and/or suppress turbulence in the blood flow by a predetermined amount. The system will also break rouleaux for patients with rouleaux, but the process will take more time. The blood viscosity reduction and turbulence suppression can make the blood flow laminar, lower the patient's blood pressure, cure hypertension, diminish heart murmur, and prevent development of astherosclerosis plaque in blood vessels. The curing rouleaux will improve the patient's blood oxygen function.
