  • Publication number: 20150216797
    Abstract: The method as described herein promotes reduced food calorie intake, for purposes of weight loss or weight maintenance, through use of an aerosol delivery system that increases food emulsion volume (overrun) by as much as 400%, thereby stimulating various satiation feedback mechanisms within the body to effectively gain a net increase in satiation when compared to satiation from calories otherwise ingested without the volume increase produced by said aerosol delivery system.

  • Publication number: 20040076730
    Abstract: Herein is disclosed a method for creating milk foam, a common topping for specialty coffee drinks, without steam or heat coagulation. An aerosol delivery system and a protein-rich emulsion form a product that, when dispensed and heated by microwave, is very similar in taste, texture, and appearance to steam-produced milk foam.

  • Patent number: 6489921
    Abstract: Herein is disclosed a system for locating a parked vehicle, as in the case of a driver having forgotten the location of his/her parked vehicle in a crowded parking lot, whereby a handheld apparatus is automatically engaged prior to the driver leaving the immediate vicinity of his/her parked vehicle. When thusly engaged, the apparatus retrieves GPS location coordinates for the parked vehicle from GPS satellites and stores these coordinates in its memory. Once activated by the driver for the purpose of finding his/her parked vehicle, the Vehicle Locating Apparatus retrieves GPS location coordinates for the driver's current position. Using the GPS location coordinates stored in its memory and those retrieved for the driver's current location, a microprocessor contained within the apparatus calculates the shortest course between the driver and his/her parked vehicle. This course is then presented on a visual display by way of a “floating” directional arrow.
