Abstract: An oat composition comprising water, hydrolyzed oats, undissolved solids, dissolved solids, emulsifier, and suspension stabilizer. The hydrolyzed oats are 1 to 10% by weight of the oat composition and can be whole grain. The suspension stabilizer concentration is effective to maintain the undissolved solids in suspension in the oat composition upon activation so that at least 90% by volume of the oat composition is a single solid-in-liquid suspension at the end of a suspension test, where the solid-in-liquid suspension comprises water and a majority the undissolved solids in the oat composition. The viscosity of the oat composition is 6 to 30 cP at 8° C. at a shear rate of 50/s. The hydrolyzed oats are provided by hydrolyzing starch in starting oats comprising a pre-hydrolysis starch-to-protein mass ratio. The hydrolyzed oats comprise a post-hydrolysis starch-to-protein mass ratio equal to the pre-hydrolysis starch-to-protein mass ratio within a tolerance of +/?10%.

Abstract: A game board assembly is disclosed herein. The game board assembly includes a foldable game board and a plurality of mounts. The foldable game board has a main portion and a plurality of peripheral edge portions that surround the main portion. The game board has a planar configuration where the main portion and the plurality of peripheral edge portions are positioned to be substantially co-planar with one another. The peripheral edge portions are selectively foldable to be non-planar with respect to the main portion. The mounts are each configured to engage the game board in the planar configuration. The mounts are configured to releaseably mount to a surface.

Abstract: An electronic game system is provided, the electronic game system having: a drawing input device; a processor located within the drawing input device, the processor being configured to convert a user input signal into a display signal; a means for transmitting the display signal to a display; and memory for storing machine readable computer program code, the memory including instructions for causing the processor to implement a method of playing a drawing game.

Abstract: Methods and systems to generate product records in catalogs from divergent listings are provided. Example systems include a listings module to identify an immature product record corresponding to the item for sale. The listings module may determine, from one or more attributes of an item for sale described by the listing, that the item can be matched to an immature product record. A voting module may provide an interface including the first version of the immature product record and an option to select a first version or a second version of the immature product record matching the item. The voting module may further relate the selected version to the item for sale based on a selection by a user, and, in response, update a count of votes for the selected version. When the count of votes meets a threshold, the selected version may become the mature product record for inclusion in a catalog.
