Abstract: An apparatus comprising a processor configured to receive a sequence of Cone-Beam Computed Topology (CBCT) projections of a three dimensional (3D) object over a scanning period, wherein the 3D object is displaced during the scanning period, and wherein each of the CBCT projections is associated with a discrete point during the scanning period, locate a marker position in a plurality of the CBCT projections, wherein each marker position corresponds to the location of an internal marker at the corresponding discrete point during the scanning period, extract a 3D motion trajectory based on the plurality of marker positions and a plurality of time-tagged angular views, and correct the CBCT projections based on the 3D motion trajectory.

Abstract: The present invention involves the preparation of a starch-based food product coating containing a mixture of seasoning and liquid and dry ingredients that is applied on the product and subsequently dried to provide a smooth flavor coating on the exterior of the product. The coating comprises a mixture of water, at least one edible oil, at least one native starch, at least one seasoning and, optionally, edible protein and an emulsion stabilizer. The present invention further involves a process for preparing such a coating, comprising disbursing the starch in warm water, adding the edible oil to the starch and water mixture, preparing an oil-in-water emulsion from the mixture, adding at least one seasoning to the emulsion, and mixing the resulting composition at a low speed that ensures uniform distribution of solid particles within the composition while minimizing incorporation of air bubbles.
