  • Process for the manufacture of powderous preparations of fat-soluble substances
    Patent number: 7691297
    Abstract: In a process for the manufacture of beadlet preparations of fat-soluble substances in a water-soluble or water-dispersible non-gelling matrix, an aqueous emulsion of the fat-soluble substance(s) and the matrix component are fed through a spray nozzle in the upper section of a vertical spray tower. Through separate inlets powderous starch and a stream of hot air are also fed in the upper section of the vertical spray tower. A stream of cold air is fed in the lower section of the spray tower so as to form a fluidised bed of starch-covered beadlets comprising the matrix component as well as the fat-soluble substances. The beadlets are collected from the fluidised bed and are discharged to a dryer.

  • System and method for detecting multiple matches
    Patent number: 7694069
    Abstract: A system for identifying asserted signals includes a plurality of input ports, a priority encoding module, and a match module. The plurality of input ports receive one of a plurality of input signals. The priority encoding module is coupled to the plurality of input ports and outputs a signal indicating a highest-priority input signal that is asserted. The match module is also coupled to the plurality of input ports and receives a plurality of match detect signals from the priority encoding module. Each match detect signal is associated with a particular input signal and indicates whether another input signal having a higher-priority than the associated input signal is asserted. The match module also generates a multiple match signal based on the input signals and the match detect signals. The multiple match signal indicates whether more than one of the input signals is asserted.
