Abstract: The invention relates to a method for converting nitrates to nitrites and to specific compositions of bacteria belonging to the Staphylococcus vitulinus species optionally in association with lactic acid bacteria such as Lactococcus genus or Pediococcus genus and their use for developing the red color of a food product containing myoglobin.

Abstract: A device under test is divided into multiple test domains, and test conditions for each of the multiple test domains are defined separately, so that each test domain has its own test pattern, timing data, and other test conditions. Each test domain can start and stop independently, and run at different speeds. Further, triggers are used to specify how the tests executed in the different test domains interact and communicate with one another. Any test domain can generate or wait for a trigger from any other test domain. A test domain can wait for a trigger from a test domain in a CPU.

Abstract: A software interface for a system provides an interface to software components of the system through a plurality of interface areas that are related to each other in a hierarchical manner. Each interface area provides an interface to the software components through one or more interface methods. The interface methods are generically defined methods and include a data handling method, an action method, and a navigation method. The data handling method includes the methods for setting and retrieving a value of a parameter. The action method includes the methods for retrieving and executing a specific method for carrying out operations on the system through the software components. The navigation method includes methods for navigating to a specific interface area. A token is associated with each of the interface methods to specifically define the method that is to be carried out.
