Title: Method for enhancing acrylamide decomposition
Inventor: ELDER VINCENT ALLEN
IPC: A23L19/12
Filed: 2005-11-29
Abstract: A combination of a free thiol compound and a reducing agent is added to a fabricated food prior to cooking in order to reduce the formation of acrylamide. The fabricated food product can be a corn chip or a potato chip.  Alternatively, a non-fabricated snack product, such as a potato chip from a sliced potato can be contacted with a solution having a free thiol compound and a reducing agent. The reducing agent can include any soluble compound that is an electron donor or combination of such compounds. The free thiol compound and reducing agent can be added during milling, dry mix, wet mix, or other admix, so that the agents are present throughout the food product. The combination of the reducing agent and free thiol compound can be adjusted in order to reduce the acrylamide formation in the finished product to a desired level while minimally affecting the quality and characteristics of the end product.

Abstract: Screen (10) for a user interface of a television schedule system and process consists of an array (24) of irregular cells (26), which vary in length, corresponding to different television program lengths of one half hour to one-and-one half hours or more. Because of the widely varying length of the cells (26), if a conventional cursor used to select a cell location were to simply step from one cell to another, the result would be abrupt changes in the screen (10). By restricting cursor movements to the regular cells, abrupt screen changes will be avoided.

Title: Method of removing mercury from combustion exhaust gases
Inventor: WINKLER HERMANN
IPC: B01D53/02
Filed: 2007-12-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of removing mercury from combustion exhaust gases from combustion plants, such as power stations or waste combustion plants. Previous methods for removing mercury from combustion exhaust gases are structurally complex and cost intensive. The object resulting from this problem is solved by a method, in which the mercury-containing combustion exhaust gases are brought into contact with an adsorption agent, whereby the mercury is substantially adsorbed by the adsorption agent during this contact. After the adsorption has occurred the adsorption agent is separated from the combustion exhaust gases and added to an aqueous solution containing an oxidising agent, whereby the adsorbed mercury goes into solution as Hg2+. The Hg2+-containing solution is subsequently separated from the adsorption agent and the Hg2+ is then removed from the solution. This conduct of the method enables the mercury to be removed from the combustion exhaust gases in a simple and economical manner.

Abstract: A wireless communication device is disclosed that accepts recorded audio data from an end-user. The audio data can be in the form of a command requesting user action. Likewise, the audio data can be text to be converted into a text file. The audio data is reduced to a digital voice file in a format that is supported by the device hardware, such as a ,wav, .mp3, .vnf file, or the like. The digital voice file is sent via secured or unsecured wireless communication to one or more server computers for further processing. In accordance with an important aspect of the invention, the system evaluates the confidence level of the of the speech recognition process. If the confidence level is high, the system automatically builds the application command or creates the text file for transmission to the communication device.  Alternatively, if the confidence of the speech recognition is lower, the recorded audio data file is routed to a human transcriber employed by the telecommunications service, who manually reviews the digital voice file and builds the application command or text file. Once the application command is created, it is transmitted to the communication device. As a result of the present invention, speech recognition in the context of a communications devices has been shown to be accurate over 90% of the time.
