Publication number: 20170231250Abstract: An extruded confection comprised of one or multiple layers, wherein at least one layer provides a hard and brittle layer when chewed. Moreover, combinations of select saccharides are provided to achieve desired textural attributes when extruded as a lone layer or as one layer in a multiple layer confection. A process for creating the hard and brittle confection layer, which takes into account the rate of crystal growth of the saccharides is used to make the confection.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2015Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventors: Joo Song, William Clark, April J. Tackett, Scott G. Brown

Publication number: 20170215454Abstract: A product invention that relates to an aerated confection containing a texture modifier and a saccharide mass, that comprises a backbone saccharide, a stability saccharide, and optionally a lubricant saccharide. The saccharides are chosen such that the saccharides will have a fluid molten structure that will create a stable aerated mass after extrusion with carbon dioxide. The texture modifier is added to vary the texture of the aerated confection, including making the hard confection chewy thereby extending the consumer's enjoyment of the confection. The invention also relates to the method of making the stable aerated confections with extrusion processing using super critical carbon dioxide.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2015Publication date: August 3, 2017Inventors: Joo Song, April J. Tackett, Scott G. Brown

Publication number: 20170156365Abstract: The present invention describes a process wherein a liquid chewing gum is deposited onto a surface to form deposits of a chewing gum product. The individual deposits of chewing gum can then undergo further packaging and wrapping to form a commercially acceptable chewing gum product.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2014Publication date: June 8, 2017Applicant: WM. WRIGLEY JR. COMPANYInventors: Martin R. CERVENKA, David R. PHILLIPS, Scott G. BROWN, Michael CATIZONE

Publication number: 20160037798Abstract: The present invention relates to a multiple portion confectionary product that has multiple textures and provides multiple sweetener release profiles and to the process for making the confectionary product. More specifically the invention relates to a multiple portion confectionary product wherein the confectionary product consists of a dry foam portion and a chewing gum portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2014Publication date: February 11, 2016Inventors: Scott G. BROWN, Gwendolyn GRAFF, Joo SONG, April J. TACKETT

Publication number: 20160021909Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for making a shaped gum product composed of agglomerated individual strands of gum. The gum product is induced through a plurality of apertures in a forming die to form individual strands of extruded gum product. The individual strands of gum product are then cooled by a cooling system, such as a blower and/or a cooled conveyor and form an agglomerated mass of cooled individual strands of gum product. Agglomerated mass of gum product is then formed into a predetermined shape and configuration, for example by slicing and/or scoring.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2014Publication date: January 28, 2016Inventors: Scott G. BROWN, Dominic LETTIERE, Joo SONG

Patent number: 8245274Abstract: A FireNet security system in which trustworthy networks, called BlackNets, each comprising One (1) or more client computers, are protected by FireBreaks against attacks from untrustworthy networks, called RedNets. All incoming transactions from the RedNet are examined by the FireBreak to determine if they violate any of a plurality of protection rules stored in a local protection rules database. Any transaction found to be in violation is discarded. Valid transactions are forwarded to the BlackNet. If an otherwise valid transaction is found to be suspicious, the FireBreak will forward to a FireNet Server relevant information relating to that transaction. If the FireNet Server verifies that the transaction is indeed part of an attack, the FireNet Server will create new protection rules suitable to defend against the newly identified source or strategy of attack. Periodically, all FireBreaks in the FireNet system will transfer, directly or indirectly, all new rules.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2010Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Tri MBC Communications L.L.C.Inventors: Stuart D. Green, Scott G. Brown, Jonathan M. Crain, Jeffrey Van Myers, Carl A. Perry, Marcus L. Yax
