Patent number: 8399230Abstract: The thermal stability of enzymes is improved by incorporating the enzyme in a matrix of a non-reducing sugar, such as trehalose. Heat-stable compositions of enzymes and sugar are formed by adding the enzymes to a sugar syrup and drying the mixture either by spreading it on a carrier or by spray drying. The enzyme compositions retain higher levels of activity after being subjected to heat in product-forming processes, such as steam pelleting of animal feed supplemented with the enzyme compositions.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2006Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Kemin Industries, Inc.Inventors: Stefaan M.

Patent number: 7241622Abstract: A method was developed for the screening of antioxidant efficacy in food and feed matrices. The novel method uses radical initiators to accelerate the oxidation process. Consequently the screening of the oxidation process can be performed at significantly lower temperatures compared to the existing methods. The use of initiators improves the correlation between accelerated screening and real shelf life. This resolves an important issue that is frequently raised concerning the applicability of accelerated oxidation tests conducted at high temperatures. Furthermore feed and food products can be analyzed in their original states because lower temperatures have less influence on the product matrix.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2004Date of Patent: July 10, 2007Assignee: Kemin Industries, Inc.Inventors: Stefaan Van Dyck, Waut Dooghe, Tom Verleyen, Clifford Adams

Patent number: 7001625Abstract: A process for the solid-phase synthesis of salts of organic acids in a granular, free-flowing, and dust-free form particularly suited for use as animal feed additives. A mixture of liquid organic acids, including butyric acid, is applied to an inert, absorbent carrier. A solid base is then added during stirring. The acid is slowly released from the carrier preventing the fast reactions that lead to the formation of clumps. The exothermic reaction releases heat which assists in reducing the moisture content of the product. The addition of butyric acid results in a product which has an improved effect on animal growth over the animal feed additive without the addition of butyric acid.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2003Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: Kemin Industires, Inc.Inventors: Stefaan Van Dyck, Clifford Adams, Andre Meeuwsen, Leen van Campenhout

Patent number: 6723908Abstract: A musical string instrument (12) has a body (21) with a resonate cavity covered by a soundboard (22). A pick guard (34) has a flat surface for mounting to the soundboard of the instrument. Electronic control components (36) are mounted within a housing of the pick guard. The musician can control a preamplifier within the resonate cavity of the body with knobs (58) and push buttons (60) located on the pick guard. A thin, flat, multi-conductor ribbon cable (38) is connected to the electronic control components and routed along a surface of the soundboard and through a sound hole (24) in the soundboard into the resonate cavity of the body. The ribbon cable entering the resonating cavity through the sound hole does not adversely effect the natural response, performance, sound quality, and tonal property of the string instrument and does not require any additional holes be drilled in the soundboard.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2002Date of Patent: April 20, 2004Assignee: Fender Musical Instruments CorporationInventors: Keith Lance Chapman, Charles Clifford Adams, Shawn Robert Greene

Patent number: 6694029Abstract: An input signal is applied to a notch filter having a transfer function that is the inverse of the expected noise signal. The filtered signal is coupled to a first amplifier and the input signal is coupled to a second amplifier. The outputs of the amplifiers are summed. The gains of the amplifiers are oppositely adjusted in response to the magnitude of the input signal. At low amplitude, the filtered signal is amplified more than the unfiltered signal. At high amplitude, the unfiltered signal is amplified more than the filtered signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2001Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Fender Musical Instruments CorporationInventors: Dale Vernon Curtis, Charles Clifford Adams

Patent number: 6222110Abstract: A combination of limited data, 3D linear interpolation, and a unique simulation circuit are combined to provide a programmable tone control that can simulate any desired tone stack. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, it has been found that a reduced number of data points plus interpolation provides sufficiently accurate coefficients for simulation. The data points are obtained from measurements of the actual operation of the analog tone stacks to be simulated. A second aspect of the invention is the simulation circuit controlled by the coefficients to accurately reproduce the operation of any given tone stack. The simulation circuit uses two programmable filters and three variable gain amplifiers to simulate a tone stack. The cut-off frequency of each filter and the gain of each amplifier are determined by coefficients extracted by interpolation from stored data.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2000Date of Patent: April 24, 2001Assignee: Fender Musical Instruments Corp.Inventors: Dale Vernon Curtis, Keith Lance Chapman, Charles Clifford Adams
