Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of feeding polyphenols to animals, including associated feeds and preparation thereof, and methods of consuming animals fed the polyphenols.

Abstract: Delay circuitry is used in a circuit to delay the transmission of groups of data until another circuit expects these groups of data. In one embodiment, emulating circuitry is used to emulate the timing of transmitter and receiver UART FIFOs. This emulating circuitry uses delays equal to the amount of time the UART FIFOs take to serially shift out data in the transmitter UART FIFO, and to serially shift in data in the receiver UART FIFO. This allows the modem chip to use a parallel-to-parallel FIFO buffer for the transmitter FIFO buffer and the receiver FIFO buffer.

Abstract: A mask value generator is used to produce a mask value for deencrypting encrypted instructions from a memory. This encryption mask generator can produce a encryption mask value from a seed value and a program counter value. The seed value can stored in a memory outside the core microprocessor. The encryption mask value can be used to deencrypt instructions in an "exclusive or" logic section.
