Abstract: A dietary fiber material obtained by using enzymes to digest cereal grains. The enzymes substantially hydrolyze any starch occurring in the cereal grain into small molecules but only partially hydrolyze ?-glucan molecules. The dietary fiber material can have excellent physicochemical, physiological, and sensory properties such as low molecular weight, a particular molecular weight distribution, and a particular polydispersity, in addition to having excellent food ingredient properties. As a food ingredient, the material can have high ?-glucan content which provides nutrient to the body. Because the dietary fiber material can have neutral mouthfeel, it can be used to enhance the nutritional content of ice cream, yogurt, baked goods, bars, beverages, or certain other foods—without affecting the taste or other sensory attributes of the food. As a further benefit, the dietary fiber material can be used to provide certain therapeutic benefits, such as anticholesterol activity.

Abstract: A spring clip mounting system that enables electronics to be mounted in a cavity, for example in a wall and includes at least one spring clip coupled to a mount. The at least one spring clip includes a body, a lever arm, a pole, a first spring element, a rectangle, and a second spring element. The body moves down the pole when the lever arm is asserted, and moves up the pole when the rectangle is asserted. The at least one spring clip is rotated to enable a portion of the mount and the at least one spring clip to be inserted into a cavity for example in a wall, to couple the mount to the wall when the lever arm is asserted. The rectangle is asserted and the system to be removed from the wall.

Abstract: Described is a process to make hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from glucose. The process includes the steps of reacting a feedstock solution comprising glucose, in the presence of a homogeneous Brønsted acid catalyst and a homogeneous Lewis acid catalyst, in a reaction vessel containing a biphasic reaction medium. The reaction medium includes an aqueous reaction solution and a substantially immiscible organic extraction solution. HMF is produced in the aqueous reaction solution and extracted into the organic extraction solution.

Abstract: Methods and systems for separating and purifying monatin are described. In the production of monatin, a mixture is formed which includes monatin, starting materials and intermediates. The methods and systems include a membrane having a zeta potential of from about ?19 to ?6 such that the membrane rejects greater than about 90% of the monatin. In some embodiments, the membrane is a nanofiltration membrane.

Abstract: An architectural speaker assembly includes a speaker supported within the speaker enclosure of a mounting fixture. A grill is provided to conceal the speaker. A grill support is configured to support the grill substantially flush with a facing ring of the mounting fixture to blend into the surrounding ceiling or wall. The grill support includes a concave wall that surrounds the speaker. A number of bosses project form the wall, each boss supporting a permanent magnet that magnetically engages the grill to firmly hold it on the grill support.

Abstract: A system for distributing electronic information signals throughout a structure, particularly a residential dwelling, is disclosed. The system adapts a plurality of electronic information signals to be received by one or more information utilizing devices which are located throughout a structure. The system provides for adapting a multi-line telephone signal distribution hub for use with a one or two telephone lines allows the wiring for an internal telephone system to be installed immediately with a single telephone line interfaced to the multi-line telephone signal distribution hub while a control box and additional telephone lines from the telephone service utility can be readily connected at a later date. Further, the system distributes electronic signals within a room equipped for audio and video presentations and having a plurality of speaker connection locations for use in home theater applications, thus allowing home theater components to be easily and properly set up or changed.
