Abstract: A control system of an interactive toy set that responds to network real-time communicating messages has at least two toys and two network computer devices connected to the toys, respectively. Each toy has a processor built in with a table of corresponding real-time communicating messages and control commands. Each computer device is built in with real-time communicating software and conversion software. Once the real-time communicating software starts running, one or several remote computer devices that are in communications with the local computer device are obtained by the conversion software. Communicating messages are then exchanged between the local and remote computer devices. The communicating messages are then sent to the toy. According to the table, the processor controls the toy to perform the corresponding motions. Therefore, the player can make the toy respond according to the communicating messages, increasing the fun of remote communications.

Abstract: This invention is a means of production of polymer matrix for delivery. This invention employs amino acid chelated minerals as an ionic cross-linking agent, which forms colloidal solution containing delivery molecules after fully mingling with chitosan-acid solution that contains delivery molecules. This invention uses amino acid chelated minerals and chitosan to produce polymer matrix and then deliver molecules while proceeding ionic cross-linking. This is an innovative procedure.

Abstract: The process for reducing sterols and free fatty acids from animal fat entails forming an oil-in-water emulsion using a mixing device such as a pump or an in-line mixer; and then pumping the emulsion through a conduit for a period of time. The emulsion is made from water, liquefied animal fat and cyclodextrin. The mixing device forms the emulsion in less than one minute; and the emulsion is pumped through the conduit for 5 to 60 minutes. During the time that the emulsion is moving through the conduit, the sterols and free fatty acids move from the fat phase to the water phase and form complexes with the cyclodextrin. These complexes are fairly stable and can be separated from the emulsion by centrifugation. The resulting fat has a reduced sterol and free fatty acid content.

Abstract: The immobilized enzyme for removal of residual cyclodextrins is either a combination of an alpha-amylase and a CGTase which has been immobilized or a fungal alpha-amylase which has been immobilized. In addition to either the fungal alpha-amylase or the CGTase and alpha-amylase, a debranching enzyme can also be employed. When using a debranched enzyme, the debranched enzyme is also immobilized. By using the immobilized enzyme, the step of inactivating the enzyme is eliminated and the contamination due to the inactivated enzyme is also eliminated.
