Abstract: A lighting device includes a light source emitting light having a first bandwidth. A single optic device is coupled to the light source. The single optic device filters light having a preselected subrange of wavelengths within the first bandwidth to generate a first filtered light. The single optic device controls a shape of a beam of the filtered light. The filtered light creates a high-intensity narrow-spectrum light output. A second light source emits a high-intensity narrow-spectrum light output.

Abstract: A method of thermally inhibiting starch or flour is provided. The method involves thermally or non-thermally dehydrating a grain to anhydrous or substantially anhydrous, and then heat treating this dehydrated grain. The heat treated dehydrated grain is then milled, producing thermally inhibited flour and or starch.

Abstract: Methods for preparing thermally inhibited starch agglomerates are disclosed. Thermally inhibited starch agglomerates prepared by this method provide a higher viscosity over thermally inhibited starches that are not agglomerated but are thermally inhibited in the same manner as the thermally inhibited starch agglomerates.

Abstract: A thermal-reversible gelling agent derived from the modified starch of a waxy corn variant having an endosperm genotype with one or two doses of the recessive amylose-extender gene (ae). The starch may be modified enzymatically, physically, or by acid hydrolysis. Such gelling agents exhibit properties that may be useful in thickening or providing otherwise unique textures to foods.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention monitor and dynamically allocate computing resources to a game service. A game service provides a remote gaming environments to which users connect over a wide area network, such as the internet. A game session runs a single instance of a game title. The game session runs the video game code responsible for creating the playing experience for the users. In another embodiment, the number of active game sessions is monitored and computing resources are allocated dynamically as the number of sessions increases or decreases.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention monitor and dynamically manage game instances within a game service. A game service provides a remote gaming environment to which users connect over a wide area network, such as the Internet. For example, embodiments of the invention may forecast demand for a specific game title. The demand forecast is used to determine how many standby game instances are needed to meet demand as players join and leave game sessions. Games with higher demand may have more standby game instances ready for players to drop in. Games with less demand may have fewer active game instances running waiting for players to drop in.
