Patent number: 8593721Abstract: Novel addressing schemes for controlling electronically addressable displays include a scheme for rear-addressing displays, which allows for in-plane switching of the display material. Other schemes include a rear-addressing scheme which uses a retroreflecting surface to enable greater viewing angle and contrast. Another scheme includes an electrode structure that facilitates manufacture and control of a color display. Another electrode structure facilitates addressing a display using an electrostatic stylus. Methods of using the disclosed electrode structures are also disclosed. Another scheme includes devices combining display materials with silicon transistor addressing structures.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2012Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: E Ink CorporationInventors: Jonathan D. Albert, Barrett Comiskey, Joseph M. Jacobson, Libing Zhang, Andrew Loxley, Robert D. Feeney, Paul S. Drzaic, Ian D. Morrison

Patent number: 5217736Abstract: A method, and product thereof, is described for reducing the amount of oil absorbed into a food during hot oil frying. The method involves coating the food, prior to deep fat frying, with a protein latex which forms a layer of hydrophobic protein having excellent barrier properties to hot oil.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1992Date of Patent: June 8, 1993Assignee: Opta Food Ingredients, Inc.Inventors: Robert D. Feeney, Stephen G. Haralampu, Akiva Gross

Patent number: 5137743Abstract: Texturized oils and oil-continuous emulsions are prepared by combining liquid oils with edible polyester polymers. The resulting texturized oils and emulsions are gelled substances having a fat-like consistency which approximates the viscoelastic properties of solid fats, such as butter, margarine or hydrogenated vegetable oils, but contain no saturated fats. These texturized oils and emulsions can be used as a substitute for solid fats in food products and to make high-quality spreads containing reduced amounts of saturated fat.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 1990Date of Patent: August 11, 1992Assignee: Opta Food Ingredients, Inc.Inventors: Aleksey Zaks, Robert D. Feeney, Akiva Gross

Patent number: 4876102Abstract: Improved fried food potato-based products are formulated by the addition of certain water absorbent cellulosic fibers (hereinafter "fibrous cellulosic material"), preferably those high in pectin (hereinafter "cellulosic absorbent material"), most preferably Modified Citrus Absorbent Material (hereinafter "MCAM") or sugar beet pulp absorbent material (hereinafter "SAM") to the dough thereof to achieve increased workability of said dough after mixing and storage, and enhanced texture and flavor of said fried foods after frying. In addition, increased retention of crispness after the microwave reheating thereof in a fry-freeze-microwave cycle is accomplished. Most preferred fiber source is the highly pectinated cellulosic fiber MCAM, derived from citrus albedo, and is added to the potato-based dough in an amount approximately equal to 6% by weight.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1987Date of Patent: October 24, 1989Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Robert D. Feeney, Robert L. Prosise, Joseph McGrady, Raymond L. Niehoff

Patent number: 4774099Abstract: The present invention relates to improved baked goods, and in particular brownies, which contain an absorbent edible fiber. Improvements have been noted in the areas of chocolate flavor display, texture, tolerance to underbaking, height and moisture retention. The baked goods are made from a mix which comprises from about 0.1% to about 10% cellulosic fiber, from about 45% to about 65% sugar, from about 15% to about 35% flour, from about 3% to about 18% shortening, from about 0% to about 12% cocoa, and from about 0% to about 4% starch, the balance being conventional baked good additives. The finished baked goods comprise from about 68% to about 93% of the mix, from about 0.5% to about 6% egg solids, from about 0% to about 16% oil, and from about 5% to about 20% water.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 1986Date of Patent: September 27, 1988Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Robert D.
