Abstract: Instant grits, which closely resembles natural grits in mouth feel, flavor and consistency, are prepared by cooking a gum-free aqueous grits slurry under controlled conditions for a limited period of time and drying the slurry rapidly prior to breaking up the obtained dried product and packaging it.

Abstract: A VHF omnirange receiver subject to extraneous amplitude modulation of the carrier close to the frequency of a variable phase VOR modulation signal with a subcarrier frequency modulated by a fixed phase signal at the frequency of the variable phase signal is adapted for elimination of the effect of the extraneous modulation. Amplitude modulation of the subcarrier is detected and amplified with phase reversal with amplification in an amount equal to the ratio of the carrier amplitude to the subcarrier amplitude to produce a cancellation signal. The cancellation signal is added to the composite received signal to eliminate the effects of unwanted modulation at the frequency on the carrier.
