Patent number: 11333566Abstract: This application relates to a portable electronic device that includes an integrated pressure sensor. The portable electronic device includes a housing that defines a cavity with a number of components disposed therein. The cavity is sealed to form a volume of air within the cavity that is vented to the external environment through a barometric vent fluidly coupled to a first opening in the housing. A sensor measures a characteristic of a second volume of air within an isolated chamber that is vented to the external environment through a second opening in the housing. The second volume of air is isolated from the first volume of air within the housing of the portable electronic device. In some embodiments, the portable electronic device is a mobile phone and the sensor is a pressure transducer.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2018Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Eric N. Nyland, Devon A. Monaco, Christopher R. Xydis, Alan Wu, Dominic P. Cincione, Timothy S. Lui, Aaron H. Squier, Lindsay M. Alanen, Lucy Elizabeth Browning, Richard Hung Minh Dinh

Patent number: 3951938Abstract: A process for separating gluten with a protein content of at least 80% on a dry base and in a vital and non-denatured condition from wheat flour which comprises:1. Mixing wheat flour with water in a weight ratio of 1.2-2.0 parts water per part wheat at a temperature of 30.degree.-50.degree.C to form a suspension of flour in water;2. Homogenizing said suspension to achieve a free-flowing dispersion of wheat flour in water by passing said suspension through a mill of the pin-mill type;3. Separating from said dispersion a main heavy portion (A) comprising a starch and a light portion (B) comprising a protein concentrate;4. Allowing said light portion (B) to stand, free of agitation without dilution, at 30.degree.-50.degree.C for 10-90 minutes to form gluten thread-like formations without separation;5.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1975Date of Patent: April 20, 1976Assignee: Oy Vehna AbInventors: H.
