  • Patent number: 7852110
    Abstract: An output buffer provided according to an aspect of the present invention is designed to generate an output signal with a slew rate that is substantially independent of the threshold voltage of transistors contained within. An output buffer provided according to another aspect of the present invention provides output signals with different slew rates depending on the magnitude of the load capacitance at the output node of the output buffer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6325951
    Abstract: Enzymatic cross-linking of protein-encapsulated oil particles by complex coacervation. A complex coacervate of oil particles, each encapsulated in a protein shell, is stabilized by gelling the protein shell and is subsequently enzymatically cross-linked to form thermostable capsules of about 100-300 microns. The preferred enzyme is transglutaminase, and the reaction is performed at pH 7 to achieve the optimal cross-linking rate. The transglutaminase-catalyzed cross-linking reaction takes place with the complex coacervate maintained at a temperature in the range of about 5° C.-10° C. to maintain the structural stability of the complex coacervate.

  • Patent number: 5120475
    Abstract: A method for preparing microcapsules which comprises:dispersing a hydrophobic oily liquid containing a pre-wall former in a continuous aqueous phase, the aqueous phase containing a chain extender which comprises a water soluble polyfunctional compound capable of reacting with the pre-wall former upon dispersion of the hydrophobic oily liquid in the continuous aqueous phase; andforming capsule walls around the droplets of the hydrophobic oily liquid in the continuous aqueous phase.
