Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter relates to methods of screening raw materials and pet food products to manufacture a palatable pet food product. The presently disclosed subject matter also relates to methods for identifying compounds that modulate the activity and/or expression of a bitter taste receptor.

Abstract: Amino acids present in domains of an umami taste receptor are described herein, wherein the amino acids interact with at least one nucleotide derivative and/or at least one transmembrane compound that potentiates, modulates, increases, and/or enhances the activity of the umami receptor. Such compounds can be used in flavor compositions to enhance the umami taste and/or palatability of food products.

Abstract: An interface system may include a communication interface. The interface system may include one or more processing units communicatively coupled with the communication interface. The interface system may include a memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause the one or more processing units to provide an application programming interface (API) that enables a managing authority system and a plurality of mobility entity systems to communicate with one another and the interface system via the communications interface. Each of the mobility entity systems may provide at least one mode of transportation. The instructions may further cause the one or more processing units to establish a communications link between the managing authority system and at least one of the plurality of mobility entity systems.

Abstract: Methods for identifying compounds that modulate the activity and/or expression of a calcium-sensing receptor, wherein said compounds can be incorporated into flavor compositions that can be used to modify the kokumi taste and/or palatability of pet food products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of identifying a compound that binds to or modulates the activity of one or more polypeptides encoding one or more receptors that are involved in the detection and perception of fatty acids.

Abstract: A compressor wheel assembly for a forced induction device includes an impeller member and a plate member. The impeller member is formed of a polymer material, and includes a hub portion and a plurality of blades extending from an outer surface of the hub portion. The hub portion includes an outer peripheral portion formed therewith. The plate member is connected to the outer peripheral portion of the impeller member to be rotationally fixed thereto. The plate member being formed of a metal material.
