Publication number: 20210189317Abstract: Apparatus and a method to allow application of an electromagnetic field to a product for a period of time to alter a condition of the product. The condition change may be to speed up an occurring process and/or change quality of the experience of subsequent use of the product. The apparatus includes a support and a container in which the product is located. The support includes one or more modules for generation of a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) and the support and hence modules are connected to control means to control the generation of the PEMF and are positionable with respect to the product to allow the product to be exposed to the generated PEMF.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2019Publication date: June 24, 2021Inventors: William John Henry, Christopher Taylor

Publication number: 20200315201Abstract: An apparatus and method for improving extraction of one or more components from a plant material when adding a hot, cold or mid-temperature liquid to the plant material to cause extraction of one or more components. During, or after, addition of the liquid it is exposed to electromagnetic signals at one or a range of frequencies. The signals are provided in a pulsed manner creating periods of electromagnetic frequency signals and periods where there are none, which enhances extraction of one or more components. In an embodiment the liquid water is added to the plant material to create a beverage such as a tea or infusion. In an embodiment the electromagnetic emitting means can be suitably designed to controlled apparatus and in another it is a smartphone tablet or similar device with a controlling app thereon.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2018Publication date: October 8, 2020Inventor: William John Henry

Patent number: 6607761Abstract: The present invention relates to color and flavor improvements in iron and zinc supplemented dry beverage powders having fruit and/or botanical flavor. Vitamins such as the B vitamins, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E can be added to the dry beverage mix. The supplemented dry beverage mix can also contain iodine, niacin and folic acid. In particular, methods for fortifying dry beverage mixes with certain bioavailable zinc and iron compounds without producing reconstituted beverages having undesirable color or flavor are disclosed. Also disclosed are beverages and foods fortified preferably with amino acid chelated iron that do not impart objectionable color due to the inclusion of a ferric ion reducing agent such as ascorbic acid and/or an agent such as citric acid that is capable of preferentially complexing ferric ion in the presence of polyphenols or flavonoids that are typically present in these beverages or foods.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2001Date of Patent: August 19, 2003Assignee: The Procter & Gamble Co.Inventors: William John Henry, Xiaobing Xi, Michel Lucien Hubert Lannelongue Favre, Haile Mehansho, Renee Irvine Mellican, Jianjun Li
