  • Publication number: 20060062885
    Abstract: An imitation cheese composition having a fracturability of about 4.9 N to about 9.8 N at 21° C., the composition containing moisture, preferably in an amount that is at least 55% by weight, a hydrocolloid, a cheese-derived component, preferably in an amount less than about 15% by weight of the composition, cheese flavoring that is natural or artificial and an acidulent, preferably in an amount that causes a pH of the composition to be not greater than 4.6. The composition is sufficiently firm such that it can be at least one of sliced, cut, shredded or grated. Preferably, protein in an amount not greater than 6% by weight of the composition is present, and/or the acidulent is in a total titrateable amount of less than 1.5% by weight of the composition, resulting in an imitation cheese having a flavor, texture and consistency that was only previously attainable in a pasturized process cheese product.

  • Publication number: 20050109840
    Abstract: Implementations of a method for associating a charitable donation with a discounted transaction include, providing a certificate asociated with a discount for at least one vendor to a customer, receiving notification of a discounted transaction using the certificate, and determining a charitable donation associated with the discounted transaction. In other implementations, a method for associating a charitable donation with a discounted transaction includes generating certificates associated with a vendor. The certificates have a face value usable in exchanges with the vendor. The method further includes selling the certificates to at least one customer at a price less than the face value. The method also includes determining a charitable donation associated with the sale of each certificate based at least in part on either the face value of the certificate sold or the price of the certificate sold.

  • Patent number: 6389491
    Abstract: A universal I/O interface is presented which allows communication with a number of different instruments independent of the underlying I/O configuration. The universal I/O interface is a set of Component Object Model (COM) interfaces that are independent of the underlying I/O bus and API. In addition, the universal I/O interface allows instrument data to be parsed and instrument commands to be formatted in a programming language independent way. In the preferred embodiment, the universal I/O interface comprises an ActiveX Automation Server that abstracts the APIs for various possible underlying I/O buses and vendor software libraries into a single universal I/O interface. This allows instrument application programmers to design applications that are universally supported on any number of instrument I/O buses.

  • Patent number: 5442663
    Abstract: An equalizer employed with a receiver for cancelling an interfering signal due to low cross-polarization isolation. The present equalizer provides a simple and inexpensive cross-polarization interference cancellation system. The equalizer uses an error signal generated in a residual carrier detector to determine the magnitude of an interfering signal and inputs a cancelling signal to the co-polarized channel until power in the error signal is minimized. In the equalizer, the determination of the magnitude of the interfering signal is performed at baseband (after demodulation but prior to data detection) and the cancellation is performed at RF, prior to dispersive microwave elements. In the receiver, co- and cross-polarized signals are received and amplified. A copy of the cross channel input signal is supplied to each receiver channel. An RF vector modulator is used to control the phase and amplitude of the cross-polarized signal prior to summation with a desired co-polarized signal.
