  • Publication number: 20140358958
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for surfacing direct app actions. For example, a search interface may be configured to provide search results based upon queries submitted by users. Direct app actions may be surfaced through the search interface based upon a search context associated with search query formulation input associated with a search query that is input through the search interface. For example, map directions, a view social network vacation album, and/or other direct app actions may be surfaced through the search interface based upon a search query “Where is The Beach”. Direct app actions may be provided during formulation of the search query or after submission of the search query. Responsive to selection of a direct app action, a third party application (e.g., a locally installed application) may be invoked to perform the direct app action with little to no additional user input or navigation.

  • Publication number: 20050226983
    Abstract: A sweetener is provided which is an agglomerate of an intense sweetener and a carrier such the sweetener has a bulk density from 0.18 to 0.50 g./cc. The sweetener fills a readily recognizable package while using a smaller amount of carrier and having the same amount of sweetness. The sweetener is less hygroscopic than if the intense sweetener and carrier were merely mixed. The sweetener does not cake together. The sweetener may contain, for example, 35 parts of soluble aspartame, 40 parts of maltodextrin having 10 Dextrose Equivalent (DE), and 925 parts of dextrose, where the aspartame, maltodextrin and dextrose are agglomerated. The agglomeration technique may be to introduce the ingredients and spray water to control the particle size to affect uniform free flowing powder. The agglomeration technique may also be a conveyor type steam agglomerator.
