  • Patent number: 11291234
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a food composition, a process for the production of the food composition, a food composition producible by the method according to the invention, the use of the food composition and products comprising the food composition according to the invention.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11089797
    Abstract: The present invention is in the field of the flavouring of foods. In particular, the present invention is directed to a process for the encapsulation of flavours and/or aromas. The particles are then later incorporated into the end preparation (the food), such as, for example, instant coffee. The focus is in particular firstly to obtain particles with high aroma loading in order to ensure a long-lasting aroma protection during storage, and secondly to control the particle properties in such a way that an optimum miscibility of the particles with foods is made possible. Decisive aspects in this connection are primarily shape, size and particle density. These aspects together are intended to bring about an improved taste experience for the end consumer when consuming the particles.

  • Publication number: 20070174816
    Abstract: Software failures are processed by categorizing images associated with the failures into groups based on similarities in the images. The categorizing of the images may be performed by a software failure analysis tool. The images may include full or partial screenshots of a computer at the time of the software failure. An image may be part of the output of a test, or may be part of a report of a software failure from an end user of the software. The software failure analysis tool may be part of a larger software test management system.

  • Publication number: 20050171968
    Abstract: A logical view of a data source may be provided. The data source may include a number of data source objects organized according to a data source schema. The data source schema may be retrieved or inferred, and the data source objects may be identified from the data source schema. A logical relationship between the data source objects may be determined based on the data source schema. A logical view of the data source that shows the logical relationship between the data source objects may be displayed. The display may include a tree structure with nodes that correspond to data source objects.
