Title: Foods containing thermally-inhibited starches and flours
Inventor: THOMAS DAVID J
IPC: A23L13/40
Filed: 1995-07-28
Abstract: A thermally-inhibited granular starch or flour is used as an ingredient in various foods. The thermally-inhibited starches are functionally equivalent to chemically cross-linked starches. The starches or flours are prepared by dehydrating the starch or flour to anhydrous or substantially anhydrous ( < 1 % moisture), preferably at a neutral or basic pH, and heat treating the dehydrated starch or flour for a time sufficient to inhibit the starch to the desired degree. The dehydration may be carried out by heating the starch, extracting the starch with a solvent, or freeze drying the starch. The starch may be pregelatinized prior to or after thermal inhibition using known methods which do not substantially rupture the starch granules.

IPC: B07C3/18
Filed: 1996-07-23
Abstract: The image data of the mail, which has not been recognized by a read/sort apparatus, and the address writing form thereof are transmitted to an image distribution section of a video coding system. A control section of the video coding system sends the image data received by the image distribution section to one of video coding disks in accordance with the address writing form. Thus, images of the mails having the same address writing form are displayed on a display section of the same video coding disk.      Viewing the display section, an operator input address information from an input section to correct the address of the mail. A collation section confirms whether the corrected address exists or not with reference to an address information storage section.
Patent CA-2186667-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HABEL MICHAEL JOSEPH
IPC: B23H7/26
Filed: 1996-09-27
Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method which utilize electrical discharge machining equipment and techniques to prepare an electrically conductive surface for thermal spray coating or for other purposes.   The apparatus  includes  one  or  more  electrodes,  with  each electrode having a working face, defining a plane.  The one or more electrodes are mounted on the leading end of a shaft and can form part of an electrode assembly.   The shaft is at least moveable axially by a shaft actuating mechanism and, in some applications, may also rotate the shaft.    Each electrode  is  moveable  by a  gap  setting mechanism in response to and in a direction different than the axial movement of the shaft to form a voltage gap between each working face and the surface being prepared. A supply of dielectric fluid is disposable in the voltage gap.  An electrical discharge circuit conducts an electric current through the dielectric fluid in the gap to produce a gap voltage.  The shaft actuating mechanism is controlled by a gap voltage control system.  An aligning mechanism can be used to maintain each working face in a substantially parallel  relation  with  it  corresponding  electrically conductive surface.  A flexible coupling mechanism can be used  to  allow  the  electrodes  to  move  in  a  plane perpendicular to the shaft.
