Abstract: An improved run flat tire and system for use with a two-piece or multi-piece wheel and tire to provide for continued operation of vehicles after tire deflation. Certain aspects of the invention include a plurality of arcuate sections releasably aligned and secured to each other for positioning around a wheel, wherein extended lip portions of each arcuate section extend laterally from the inner base portion of each arcuate section to limit lateral movement of the run flat device relative to the wheel.

Abstract: Techniques are described to increase product viscosity in fiber-containing food slurries having a given amount of food solids. The techniques employ one or more PSR operations as the last unit operation prior to filling to reduce particle size within the food slurry and increase product viscosity. In one or more implementations, the PSR operation may comprise an aseptic cold PSR operation such as aseptic cold homogenization. In embodiments, the PSR operation may further be controlled to reduce variability in the viscosity of the finished product.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an amino acid-based nutritional formulation comprising, per 100 g total amino acids, between about 4.5 and about 5 g glutamate. The ratio of cysteine:methionine is in the range of about 0.9:1 to about 1:1.2. The nutritional formulation may also comprise a lipid source, a carbohydrate source, an emulsifier comprising CITREM or DATEM, and amino acids, wherein glutamate is present in an amount of between about 4.

Abstract: A shelf stable, high protein, high fiber, and/or low fat aerated nougat is described. The aerated nougat can be provided in a nutrition bar, a nutritionally fortified product, an aerated confectionary product, and so forth. The aerated nougat can include mechanically denatured proteins and/or fibers without significantly affecting the texture, taste, and/or shelf stability of the finished product. The aerated nougat can be manufactured using a simplified single-step batch process.

Abstract: The present invention provides a run flat tire and system adapted for alignment around a wheel and inside a tire. The run flat tire and system comprises one or more arcuate portions configured and arranged so as to be releasably aligned and connected to form a run flat device suitable for installation around a tire rim drop center. The invention further comprises one or more insert or encapsulated portions (corresponding to one or more arcuate portions) made of a relatively strong or stiff material, and one or more corresponding outer portions of a relatively soft or lower durometer material. In one aspect, outer portion(s) are molded around or directly on corresponding encapsulated portion(s).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nutritional formulation comprising a lipid source, a carbohydrate source, a protein equivalent source, and an emulsifying agent comprising OSA-modified tapioca starch which contains less than about 0.05% non-protein nitrogen.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a low-lactose, partially hydrolyzed infant formula. The carbohydrate component of the infant formula comprises between 0% and 60% lactose and the protein component of the infant formula comprises partially hydrolyzed whey protein and casein, the protein component having a particular molecular weight.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for decreasing the bitterness or improving the taste of a protein-free or hydrolyzed infant formula. The method comprises intermixing ingredients of the formula and adjusting the pH of the formula to between about 6.5 and about 7.2.

Abstract: Linerless label stock is produced from a single substrate utilizing a coating machine by moving the substrate through the coating machine and applying a tie coating to the substrate first face, a release coating to the substrate second face, and a pressure sensitive adhesive to the tie coating. The release coating comprises a mixture of (a) about 55 to about 95 parts by weight of a first acrylated polysiloxane having the formula I: ##STR1## wherein R is a C.sub.4 -C.sub.2 alkyl group, m is about 40 and n ranges from about 8 to about 12;b) about 5 to about 45 parts by weight of a second acrylated polysiloxane having the formula II: ##STR2## wherein R is a C.sub.4 -C.sub.12 alkyl group, m is about 180 and n ranges from about 8 to about 12; andc) about 2 to about 6 parts by weight of a photoinitiator.
