Abstract: Software tasks executing on a computer system, such as run-time applications in a real-time operating system (RTOS), are scheduled with respect to requested use of a reconfigurable hardware device on the system. Configuration data associated with the software tasks may be loaded or unloaded based on a priority level associated with the device request, the time of the request, and the current state of the configuration memory of the device. Additionally, statistics regarding device usage and application execution history are used to anticipate a device request from a software task, and to preemptively load configuration data for the software task into the configuration memory of the device.

Abstract: A cheese production process of the present invention includes stretching cheese curds in hot water and contacting the cheese curds and a texture modifier capable of binding or adsorbing calcium either before or simultaneously with the stretching so as to enable the obtaining of cheese having a preferable rice cake-like elastic texture by improving the gum-like adhesive texture, hard rubber-like chewiness, and residual particles in the mouth when eating after baking, of cheese that is produced by going through a step of stretching cheese curds in hot water.

Abstract: A system including a device including an RF tag embedded in a casing, and a mobile phone having an RF tag reader which is operable upon reading the RF tag to perform an operation associated with said RF tag. When the user wants to perform a certain operation with the phone, he can by-pass the normal input technologies, typically a keypad, by manoeuvring the device such that the RIF tag is read by the RF tag reader, and then the personal communication apparatus performs an operation associated with the RF tag. Thus, the present invention offers rapid access to regularly used functions or operations without the need to navigate a menu. Moreover, access to these regularly used functions is made intuitive by associating a physical object, i.e. the device, with an operation.

Abstract: Objects of the present invention are to provide a continuous emulsification process and equipment therefor in which exact viscosity is measured inline and production conditions are controlled automatically, and a continuous production method for process cheese type and equipment therefor.

Abstract: A method of preserving food in a supercooled state, wherein food is packed inside a container with no head space, and then converted to a supercooled state by a cooling step in which the food is cooled from a temperature higher than the freezing point to a temperature below the freezing point at a cooling rate exceeding ?0.5° C./h but no more than ?5.0° C./h.

Abstract: This invention seeks to provide an all-purpose food material which can be mixed in various kinds of foods, specifically in a cheese-like food in large quantities without limitation. The food material is produced by subjecting a processed cheese-like food to heating and melting treatment at at least 120° C.

Abstract: A process for preparing ultrafine carbide powder of silicon or titanium and other carbide which are used as refractory materials comprises the steps of passing electric current to a carbon member held in contact with a material such as silicon in a vacuum vessel into which an inert gas at a desired pressure is introduced and collecting a carbide powder of the material fuming into the gas as a result of a high-temperature reaction between the material and carbon member in contact, thus producing carbide powder of ultrafine particles and of high-purity with high efficiency. A preheater facilitates the passing of electricity through the material by reducing the resistance thereof and leads to efficient preparation of the ultrafine carbide powder.
