Abstract: A technique for processing ancient, heritage and modern wheat, grains, seeds, beans, legumes, tuber and root vegetables create baking flours suitable for human consumption. The initial ingredient is incubated to initiate germination and activate internal enzymes and nutrient production for useful enzymes, proteins and nutrients. Germination is terminated and the product wet-milled to fracture or shear the outer hull, exposing the inner grain. The product is mixed with water at varying temperatures during which amylase is added. The mixture is incubated to facilitate saccharification of starches into sugars by the amylase enzymes. The mixture is pasteurized to denature the amylases and the mash pressed and/or strained to separate the liquid and solids. The solid phase is dried and milled into higher fiber, high protein, low carbohydrate flour. The liquid is carbohydrate-rich with substantial fiber, protein and other nutrients dissolved in the solution.

Abstract: A client updates a display of a user interface associated with a state-based client-server application in accordance with a client-side cache. The server supplies data for a new state and additional data for one or more subsequent states that possibly follow the new state if appropriate one or more operations are performed. When a client request is generated that indicates an operation that causes the application to transition to the new state, the client updates the display in accordance with the data that corresponds to the new state from the client-side cache, if available from the client-side cache. The new state data is available since the server has previously supplied the new state data.

Abstract: There is provided a system for analyzing and controlling a productivity of a drilling apparatus. The exemplary system includes a processor and a memory including instructions that cause the processor to perform certain operations. The operations can include receiving information from a control system of the drilling apparatus and determining a key performance metric based on the information. The operations can further include performing a comparison between the key performance metric and at least one other key performance metric. Furthermore, the operations can further include instructing, based on the comparison, the control system to alter the productivity of the drilling apparatus.

Abstract: Response delay associated with a state-based client-server application can be reduced with utilization of an application state server-side cache. A server caches data for a set of one or more possible states of a client-server application that may follow a current state of the application. The server rapidly responds to a client request with data that corresponds to an appropriate new state of the application in accordance with the application state server-side cache. The server determines that the application will transition to the appropriate new state from the current state of the application with the application state server-side cache based, at least in part, on an operation indicated by the client request.
