  • Publication number: 20240068857
    Abstract: There is provided a method of measuring liquid volume in a sealed container of a breast pump of known volume comprising liquid and gas. The method includes a measurement phase, measuring the volume of gas in the container by changing a first parameter of the gas by a known amount. The method also includes measuring a change in a second parameter of the gas; calculating the volume of gas in the container using the measured change and a predetermined operation equation; and determining the volume of liquid in the container based on the calculation.

  • Publication number: 20170037442
    Abstract: A casein hydrolysate formed by controlled hydrolysis of a casein substrate by an aspergillus-derived (fugal) proteolytic preparation is described. The controlled hydrolysis employs a FlavorPro-Whey™ formulation and a degree of hydrolysis (% DH) of from 5% DH to 15% DH. The Hydrolysate has at least a 98% reduction in antigenicity compared to intact sodium caseinate and a mean bitterness score of less than 30%. The invention also provides a low molecular weight fraction of casein hydrolysate of the invention which is substantially free of peptides having a molecular weight greater than 5 kDa.

  • Publication number: 20100250463
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an information-delivery system includes a first mechanism for identifying an entity for which to gather information and providing identity information in response thereto. A second mechanism employs the identity information to retrieve rating information pertaining to the entity, wherein the scoring information includes quantified information pertaining to one or more measures of performance, and the user's ethical preferences. The rating information includes environmental information, health information, and/or social information. The rating information further includes components that are each associated with a user-configurable weight. The second mechanism includes plural data sources, wherein each data source is associated with a user-configurable data-source weight. This allows a user to scan a product, receive information on its social, environmental, and health performance, all screened through the user's personal preferences.
