Abstract: Disclosed is a dual-receptacle carrier that is generally configured for attachment to a rollator or walker and that is configured to retain either a beverage or a mobile device, such as a cellular telephone. The device comprises a body, a base, and first and second opposing retention arm portions that are configured as a receptacle for a beverage. The first and second opposing retention arm portions and base include recesses that define a receptacle for an electronic device.

Abstract: The specification provides methods for extracting xyloglucans from fruit, especially from firm fruit such as cranberries, through a sequential extraction procedure.

Abstract: Provided are methods of producing proanthocyanidin (PAC)-containing solutions, powders, and beverages, as are PAC-containing solutions, powders, and beverages produced thereby and cranberry plant material products.

Abstract: A confectionery composition comprises a convoluted chocolate sheet having fold lines arranged generally along a first direction and having at least one region of weakness. The or each region of weakness extends along the full width of the chocolate sheet substantially in a single plane transverse to the first direction. Also provided are scraper blades for removing chocolate from a roller to form a chocolate sheet, and apparatus and methods for producing the confectionery composition described.

Abstract: A titanium semiconductor bridge igniter (10, 10?) has a substrate (12, 12?) on which is carried a pair of spaced-apart pads (18a, 18b) connected by a bridge (20). The pads (18a, 18b) and bridge (20) are made of a layer of polysilicon (22) or crystalline silicon (22?) covered by a layer of titanium (24). Metal lands (26a, 26b) overlie the pads (18a, 18b) but leave the bridge (20) exposed so that it can be placed in contact with an energetic material charge (42). A method of stabilizing the titanium semiconductor bridge igniter (10, 10?) against temperature-induced variations in electrical resistance of bridge (20) includes heating the titanium semiconductor bridge igniter (10, 10?) to an elevated temperature, e.g., from about 37° C. to about 250° C.
