Abstract: An edible product includes an edible outer cover component in which is located an inner edible component. A system for producing the edible product includes an arrangement for delivering the edible product in the form of an elongated rope-type product to a crimping apparatus. The crimping apparatus receives the longitudinal rope-like product for crimping the longitudinal rope to separate the longitudinal rope into individual edible products.

Abstract: A computer system provides a program access to a first register during real mode operation by using an index register and a data register, wherein the index register and the data register are located in real mode memory space and the first register is located outside of real mode memory space.

Abstract: An edible product in accordance with the present invention involves an edible inner component made from a first material and an edible outer cover component substantially completely encapsulating the edible inner component. In one form of the invention, the inner component is in the form of a hairball treatment for cats and the outer component is a dough-like material. A system for producing the edible product includes a first material source for supplying a first edible material to form the inner component of the edible product, a second material source for supplying a second edible material to form the outer component of the edible product, and an extruder for continuously coextruding the first edible material and the edible second material to produce an elongated rope of edible product. A crimping apparatus receives the longitudinal rope extruded from the extruder for crimping the longitudinal rope to separate the longitudinal rope into individual edible products.

Abstract: A computer bus that enables bus mastering agents to send/receive a burst of data to/from a slave agent without determining in advance the number of data words to be transferred, or even the maximum number of data words that could be transferred. Either the master, the slave, or the bus arbiter can terminate the burst at any time with minimum overhead. Furthermore, either the master or the slave can throttle the speed of the data transfer by adding wait states. Distributed address decode is performed by each agent coupled to the bus. Each agent must claim a transaction directed toward it by the master. If no agent claims the transaction within a predetermined number of clock periods, a subtractive decode device may claim the transaction by default. The bus also includes a bus lock wherein each bus slave agent may be able to enter a locked state, and once in the locked state, reject all accesses except those initiated by the master agent that locked it.
