  • Patent number: 10769246
    Abstract: The invention provides a system which implements a method of altering the flavour, stability, consistency, texture and colour of the a custom nutritional supplement composition containing nutritional supplement ingredients selected by a user of the system, said method including addition of specific additives in specific quantities to a custom nutritional supplement composition recipe, which additives and quantities are selected through the retrieval of data stored on a computer system which data has correlated the combinations of nutritional supplement ingredients, the additives, and their relative quantities.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050029093
    Abstract: This invention relates to an electrochemical activation system adapted for production, and particularly on-site production, of separable and both of an aqueous, mixed oxidant, predominantly anion-containing solution and an aqueous, mixed reductant, predominantly cation-containing solution. The ECA system is characterised therein that it includes at least one electrolytic cell exchange module designed for accommodating one or more electrolytic cells therein, the electrolytic cell exchange module being removably arranged within the ECA system and characterised in either being disposable or reusable within the ECA system. The invention also extends to an electrolytic cell exchange module suitable for use within the system.

  • Publication number: 20030062908
    Abstract: A wood drying installation for a wood drying kiln including a pair of electrodes adapted to be inserted into a wood stack contained in the kiln, a resistance connected in a series circuit with the electrodes, an AC voltage source connected to apply an AC voltage across the series circuit, a phase detecting circuit connected to the series circuit operable to generate a signal representing the phase angle between AC voltages applied to different parts of the series circuit, and a processor to receive the signal. The system is operable to determine a moisture value corresponding to a capacitive component of the reactive impedance between the electrodes in accordance with a predetermined arithmetic algorithm relating the value to the phase angle.

  • Publication number: 20030013558
    Abstract: A golfing aid includes a primary component, and a handle to which the primary component is pivotally connected. The primary component can thus hang vertically, under the influence of gravity, when the handle is grasped by a user. A secondary component is located at a right angle to the primary component.
