Abstract: A stabilized flour, such as stabilized whole grain wheat flour, exhibiting unexpectedly superior extended shelf life and superior biscuit baking functionality, may be produced with or without heating to inhibit lipase by subjecting whole grains or a bran and germ fraction or component to treatment with a lipase inhibitor, such as an acid or green tea extract. Treatment with the lipase inhibitor may be performed during tempering of the whole grains or berries or during hydration of the bran and germ fraction or component.

Abstract: A device to store a process state to a non-volatile storage medium in response to the process state being loaded onto a memory, detect the device entering into a hibernation state, and synchronize stored content from the process state with current content of a current process state before entering the low power state.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to managing shared data using a virtual machine. A virtual machine 110 executing on a processor may receive data from another virtual machine executing on the processor and store the received data. The virtual machine 110 may manage the stored data by processing it independent of other virtual machines executing on the processor.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to detection of a held touch on a touch-sensitive display. In some embodiments, a touch held at a given position of a touch-sensitive display is detected. Movement of the touch is then tracked while the touch remains held on the touch-sensitive display. Finally, upon release of the held touch, an action is performed on a user interface object located at a position of the release of the held touch.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an information-transfer system that operates within a cell phone. The information-transfer system includes a data-transfer application that, prior to displaying a user interface with a call feature that allows a user to invoke a cell-phone application to place a phone call, places information to transfer to the cell-phone application in an information block for transfer to the cell-phone application. The information-transfer system further includes the cell-phone application, which receives the information block, extracts, from the information block, data for transfer to a telecommunications network, and transfers the extracted data to the telecommunications network.

Abstract: Shelf stable non-refrigerated food products having base-cake, filling and coating components with fat bloom inhibiting characteristics and low fat migration. One embodiment provides a food composition having a base-cake having canola oil and having moisture content in a range of about 1.7 to 3.1 percent; a créme filling having a non-lauric fat, and having a water activity level of about 25; and a coating having lauric fat and a non-lauric fat, and having less than about 1 percent moisture.

Abstract: An interface of an option pack configured to be used in conjunction with the main unit of a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). An option pack comprising a connector configured to mate with the main unit of a PDA and provide a plurality of signal paths and a memory storage device such as an EEPROM can be used to store identification and functionally information to be conveyed to the main unit upon insertion of the option pack connector into the main unit. The interface on the option pack provides serial and parallel exchanges between the option pack and main unit and provides safeguards against draining the power on the main unit upon insertion. Further, the interface allows a software application and associated drivers to be downloaded onto the main unit temporarily and removed when a user has no further use for the application or option to save memory space on the main unit.

Abstract: A system and method for disabling add-in card slots (e.g. PCI or ISA) in a computer system. The slots may be enabled or disabled, according to the preferred embodiment, only after the user has entered a System Administrator password. This password is stored in a non-volatile memory within the computer system, so it is less vulnerable to attack through removal of the power line or battery from the system. The preferred system provides that devices attached to disabled slots are invisible to the operating system.

Abstract: Circuitry for monitoring the idle periods on the EISA bus and a program using this known value to determine percentage utilization of the EISA bus. A counter is used to count the number of synchronizing clock periods during which the EISA bus is idle. To determine if the EISA bus is idle, certain logic monitors the EISA bus signals and the arbiter activity to determine if cycles are actually occurring. If so, the EISA bus is not idle and the counter is not incremented. If there is no activity, the counter increments on each BCLK clock. The computer system periodically reads this counter. The computer system determines the interval between read operations of the counter and uses this interval in combination with the counter value and BCLK signal rate to determine the percentage utilization.

Abstract: A chip-like snack is prepared by admixing wheat flour, a no or low gluten content starchy material, e.g. potato starch, pregelatinized waxy starch and water to form a dough. The dough is then sheeted and cut into pieces and the pieces are heated to reduce their moisture content to obtain chip-like products having a blistered appearance and a crisp texture.

Abstract: A pregelatinized waxy starch provides for the production of cohesive, continuously machineable doughs from starchy materials or ingredients having starch with no- or low-gluten contents. The pregelatinized waxy starch is admixed with only a portion of the at least one starchy material and only a portion of the water needed to form a machineable dough. This mixing procedure results in uniform hydration of the pregelatinized waxy starch and avoids tearing of the dough sheet during machining. The moisture content of the dough sheets is reduced substantially from above about 25% by weight by heating in air, preferably in a gas-fired oven, to obtain chip-like snacks, such as potato chips and corn chips, having a low oil content, a blistered appearance, and a crisp texture.

Abstract: Bloom resistant cookies containing cocoa powder and/or chocolate liquor as a flavoring are produced without lard using a vegetable fat or shortening having a solid fat content of about 2.3% to about 21.6% at 70.degree. F. and about 0.2% to about 11.6% at 85.degree. F. The preferred fats are partially hydrogenated soybean oil, partially hydrogenated cotton seed oil and mixtures thereof. The fats further have an oleic acid content of about 52% to 62% and a combined linolenic acid and gadoleic acid content of 1.2% or less. The cookies exhibit similar color, taste and texture to control samples made with lard without experiencing any fat bloom.

Abstract: A filler cream for use with sandwich cookies and other foods which is soft at room temperature yet is structurally stable during simulated adverse transport conditions is obtained with an oleaginous composition having a solid fat index of: (a) from about 9 to about 20 percent, preferably from about 11 percent to about 15 percent, at 80 degrees F., (b) from about 4 percent to about 11 percent, preferably from about 5 percent to about 8 percent at 92 degrees F., and (c) from about 1 percent to about 4 percent preferably from about 1 percent to about 3 percent material at 100 degrees F. The ingredients are aerated, mixed, and cooled simultaneously to produce a composition which has a specific gravity of from about 0.70 to about 1.20, preferably from about 0.77 to about 1.0, most preferably from about 0.85 to about 0.95. The filler creams of the present invention exhibit a non-gritty, smooth texture and "quick get away" characteristics.
