  • Audio streaming system comprising an audio streamer and at least one ear worn device
    Patent number: 11026028
    Abstract: An audio streaming system including an audio streamer connected to an audio source, and at least one ear worn device. The audio streamer includes a first antenna with a first polarization, a second antenna with a second polarization, and a radio configured for transmitting a first audio stream signal (30) from the first antenna and a second audio stream signal (31) from the second antenna. The first audio stream signal (30) and the second audio stream signal (31) carry the same audio information and are shifted in time. At least one ear worn device is configured to receive the first audio stream signal (30) and the second audio stream signal (31), compare the signal strength of the first audio stream signal (30) and the second audio stream signal (31), and select either the first audio stream signal (30) and the second audio stream signal (31) as input for audio reception.

  • Method of producing a fermented milk product with improved control of post acidification
    Patent number: 10813367
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of producing a fermented milk product comprising a step wherein milk is fermented, wherein: (a) the fermentation is initiated by a starter culture, which starter culture comprises lactic acid bacteria capable of metabolizing one or several carbohydrates present in the milk, (b) the fermentation is terminated by a decrease of the concentration of the one or several carbohydrates during fermentation, and (c) the decrease is at least also caused by the metabolic activity of the lactic acid bacteria. The invention further provides respective methods comprising a step, wherein at least part of the whey is separated from the fermented milk product.
