Abstract: A method of preparing spray-dried flavor-containing particles, comprising the addition of flavor to an aqueous, sugar-free matrix and spray-drying the resulting blend, the matrix comprising an emulsifier, a film former and at least one metal salt, selected from the ferrous, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts of citric, gluconic and tartaric acids. The method allows the preparation of highly-stable, oxidation- and moisture resistant flavor particles.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for preventing a collision with a gate of a vehicle are provided. The method includes: determining whether a hitch in a vehicle bed will be coupling with a trailer; determining whether a gate of the vehicle bed is in a closed position; and performing at least one from among displaying a warning of a potential collision and opening the gate of the vehicle bed, if it is determined that the hitch in the vehicle bed will be coupling with the trailer and the gate of the vehicle bed is in the closed position.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for augmenting a rear view display are provided. The method includes: detecting a condition for augmenting a rear view display; and in response to detecting the condition for augmenting the rear view display, receiving a first image from a first camera facing an first area behind a vehicle and displaying the received first image on the rear view display. The method may be used to augment rear view displays to provide an unobstructed view when a view displayed on the rear view display is obstructed.

Abstract: A working vehicle, such as an agricultural combine (10), includes a vehicle body (12) and an internal combustion engine carried by the vehicle body. An air scoop (40) has an inlet (42) positioned near a top of the vehicle body (12) and facing in an upward direction, is movable between an open position for operation of the vehicle, and a closed position for transport of the vehicle. When the air scoop is in the closed position, the vehicle profile is narrower that when the air scoop is in the open position, providing for each of transport of the vehicle, especially when moving the vehicle through confined spaces, or narrow roadways or rail beds.
