  • Publication number: 20180310595
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an acid-stable bixin form, wherein the bixin is microencapsulated in a matrix of a hydrocolloid, preferably in a matrix of modified food starch. This bixin form can be in the form of an emulsion, a suspension or in form of a powder. The present invention is further directed to a process for the manufacture of such forms, as well as to beverages containing them. These yellow-orange to red-orange beverages are physically stable and color stable.

  • Patent number: 5608220
    Abstract: In an infrared intrusion detector, a focusing mirror reflects incident infrared radiation of interest onto a pyroelectric sensor element. To prevent extraneous radiation from reaching the sensor element, the mirror has a reflective layer for reflecting infrared radiation of interest, and an absorptive layer disposed behind the reflective layer for absorbing extraneous radiation which has passed through the reflective layer. Infrared radiation of interest includes human body thermal radiation, and extraneous radiation includes the visible spectrum. Doped indium-tin oxide (ITO) is preferred for the reflective layer.

  • Patent number: 5424718
    Abstract: An infrared intrusion detector uses infrared-sensitive sensors with pyroelectric sensor elements for detecting infrared radiation from a spatial region to be monitored. Infrared radiation passes through an entrance window and reaches the sensor elements via focusing mirrors. Extraneous radiation, outside the useful radiation band, is eliminated by filtering at the entrance window and by an optical transmission filter, and by scattering at suitable rough surfaces of the focusing mirrors. As a result, the infrared intrusion detector is less sensitive to extraneous radiation and less likely to produce false alarms.
