Abstract: The present invention describes a method of reducing the enzymatic digestion rates of starch granules in food, particularly rice-based food. The method is carried out by encapsulating the starch granules with a reaction compound formed by the chemical reaction of at least a crosslinkable polysaccharide that has been pre-mixed with the ingredients for food production, and at least a crosslinking agent. The invention also relates to a process of preparing food products by incorporating the method of the present invention and food products produced by the present method.

One end of the connecting portion extends an annular flange shaped corresponding to the rotating slot. The two rotatable connecting portions are respectively rotatably connected to the main body via the flange rotating about the rotating slot. Two loudspeakers are disposed in an end of the corresponding rotatable connecting portion away from the main body.

Abstract: A level shifter circuit for shifting from a first voltage level technology (such as 0.9 volt) to a second level voltage technology (such as 3.3 volt) with increased switching speed. The increased speed is achieved by adding a boost circuit to the pull-up transistors to boost the switching speed and shut itself down after the transition. The level shifter circuit does not require intermediate level transistors or intermediate level voltage sources.

Abstract: A system (200) and method (800) for determining whether a sample object (203) has a color that is within a predetermined range is provided. The system (200) includes a light source (201) capable of projecting lights having different light wavelength spectrum upon the sample object (203). A controller (222) causes the light source (201) to project a first light wavelength spectrum upon the sample object (203), then another, then another, and so forth. While each light is projecting upon the object, a monochromatic image capture device (202) captures an image having luminous intensity information. The luminous intensity information, or a subset thereof selected by an image selection tool (232) is then compared to the statistical range, which is derived from a plurality of images taken of a reference object (403).

The pivot rod is pivotally coupled to the eyeball, the eyelid is fixed to the pivot rod, and the pivot rod is engaged with the shaft and is driven to rotate by the driving device. Accordingly, the upper eyelid is driven to rotate relative to the eyeball by the driving device, so as to simulate an opened state and a closed state of human eyes.

Abstract: PageRank (PR) is used by web search engine Google in ranking individual web pages. However, it is known that this value is also easily manipulated by methods known as spoofing. Further, the calculation of PR will require iterative cycles of computations to achieve a “steady” value. This would mean that huge computation resources are required to obtain reasonably reliable PR values for various web pages. This invention provides relatively accurate and simple methods for ranking the importance of a node in a network. The web graph or the network is first represented by an incidence matrix or a representation matrix W. The matrix W is then self-multiplied to obtain flow matrix. The flow capacity, or the rank of each node, is then obtained from the flow matrix.
