Abstract: An image editing apparatus, an image editing method and a program therefor are disclosed, in which an image of each object is corrected in accordance with the race, sex and age and individual preferences. A CPU 4 retrieves an image to be processed, from a scanner 2 or a memory card reader 3 and detects a face image from the retrieved image. Further, the CPU 4 infers the race, age and sex of the object using the feature amounts of the detected face image, sets correction parameters suitable for the inference result, and adjusts the skin color of the face image and otherwise corrects the face image against back light. The corrected image is output to a printer 11 and printed as a photo. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Mix and air combine in a mixing chamber of a housing of a frozen product system to form a mixture. A cap received in one end of the housing includes an air inlet, a mix inlet, and two mixture outlets. An integral orifice received in the air inlet regulates the amount of air that flows into the mixing chamber. A gasket positioned adjacent the cap provides a liquid tight seal that prevents air and mix from entering the mixing chamber when the mixture is dispensed from the mixing chamber and to prevent the mixture from exiting the freezing cylinder while air and mix are drawn into the mixing chamber. The gasket includes an air valve, a mix valve, and two mixture valves. An adapter draws air into the pump through an air hole and draws mix into the pump through a mix hole. A piston slides in the mixing chamber to dispense the mixture through mixture holes. The cap includes a plurality of protrusions that engage holes in the adapter to ensure proper alignment of the cap and the adapter. The gasket also includes a protrusion that engages a cavity in the cap to ensure proper alignment of the gasket with the cap.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for improving the solubility of non-starch polysaccharides of a vegetable material. The products prepared by the method and the use of the products are also included in the scope of the invention. The method comprises crushing of the material by mechanical energy to form particles, with at least a major portion of the cells containing non-starch polysaccharides in the material being damaged. Preferably, the non-starch polysaccharides end up in particles as produced by crushing to form particles smaller than that of the initial cell containing these polysaccharides in the material. Disruption of the cells allows effective interaction between the dissolving medium and the polysaccharides to be dissolved, appearing as increased solubility. The material crushing can be performed under the joint effect of pressure, heat and shearing forces. Preferred embodiments include extrusion, expansion and homogenisation under pressure, preferred materials for these treatments comprising oat, rye and fractions of these. The solubility and dissolution circumstances of the product of the invention can be adjusted by mixing the material to be crushed with an ingredient rich in amylopectin.
