  • Publication number: 20070293282
    Abstract: A cover assembly comprises an outer metal frame and an inner metal frame in a nested configuration. A window plate is trapped between these two frames such that the frames do not take away much of the window area. The two metal frames can be fixed in place by spot welding using a laser or the like. As such, the assembly does not require tape adhesive or ultra-sonic welding to fix in place. A plurality of clips and hooks extended from the inner metal frame for providing grounding to a device that uses the cover assembly.

  • Publication number: 20070275123
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a modified starch to increase the dietary fiber content of food compositions processed under harsh conditions. By using certain modified starches, food formulations may be harshly processed while retaining substantial dietary fiber. Further, such modified starches provide dietary fiber without the negative effects on textural or organoleptic properties of the food compositions which are typically associated with the addition of other dietary fiber sources.

  • Publication number: 20070124595
    Abstract: An access control method in a computer system comprising the steps of: generating an image having first and second image elements, each of the image elements having associated an element type name and an image attribute, the image attribute including an attribute name and an attribute value; generating an access control question including an identifier of the first image element and the attribute name of the image attribute associated with the first image element; receiving an access control response; in response to a determination that the access control response corresponds to the attribute value of the image attribute associated with the first image element, providing access to a resource in the computer system.
