Abstract: A system and a method include a control unit for determining a probable de-icing status for one or more aircraft scheduled to depart from one or more airports. The control unit is configured to determine the probable de-icing status based on a current date at the one or more airports, current weather at the one or more airports, and the actual de-icing status of a plurality of prior aircraft scheduled to depart from the one or more airports before the one or more aircraft.

Abstract: Grain-based hot cereal compositions having reduced foam capacity are disclosed. The compositions can include wheat farina, oat groats, rolled oats, and steel cut oats. The compositions comprise a stearyl antifoam agent that prevents boil over of the compositions during stove top or microwave cooking without adversely affecting the taste, texture, or appearance of the finished product.

Abstract: Steel cut oat granola compositions comprising a grain component including steel cut oats, a conditioning syrup, and optionally additional grains, seeds, inclusions, sweeteners, flavorings, colors, oils, and emulsifiers are disclosed. A process for making the steel cut granola compositions of the disclosure is also disclosed in which conditioning syrup is readily absorbed by the steel cut oats to hydrate the steel cut oats and impart an acceptable texture and flavor to the granola composition. A steel cut oatmeal bar comprising the steel cut oat granola compositions and a cold forming process for making the steel cut granola bar in which a binder syrup exhibits reduced cold flow is also disclosed.

Abstract: A baked food product comprising a layered assembly and methods of making the baked food product are disclosed. The layered assembly comprises a top whole grain layer and a bottom whole grain layer. Each whole grain layer comprises a plurality of shredded whole grain strands. The assembly includes a first exterior surface defined by the top whole grain layer and a second exterior surface defined by the bottom whole grain layer. One or more of the exterior surfaces of the assembly is treated with a salt solution and the treated surface comprises a nonenzymatic browning portion formed by a Maillard reaction during baking of the product. The layered assembly can include one or more middle whole grain layers and can be in a biscuit form.

Abstract: Agglomerated flavor clusters comprising a binder syrup, grain, sweetener, and flavoring agent, and hot cereal compositions comprising the agglomerated clusters are described. The agglomerated flavor clusters are hydroscopic and can be directly consumed similar to granola or mixed into a bulk hot cereal composition. When heated, the agglomerated flavor clusters liquefy and coat the grain components of the hot cereal composition providing a flavored hot cereal composition. As the agglomerated clusters exhibit reduced settling in hot cereal compositions, each single serving of the bulk hot cereal compositions of the disclosure comprises substantially the same flavor intensity and nutritional value.

Abstract: A system for providing information to a vehicle occupant includes a haptic control element which is provided in the vehicle and is configured to generate a haptic signal. An electronic control unit is operatively connected to the haptic control element and activates the haptic control element in order to indicate with a haptic signal that information is available for retrieval.

Abstract: Non-chemically amplified radiation sensitive resist compositions containing silicon are especially useful for lithographic applications, especially E-beam lithography. More particularly, radiation-sensitive resist compositions comprising a polymer having at least one silicon-containing moiety and at least one radiation-sensitive moiety cleavable upon radiation exposure to form aqueous base soluble moiety can be used to pattern sub-50 nm features with little or no blur.
