Abstract: The invention relates to the production of hydrated concentrates of myofibrillar proteins from fish flesh which are commonly known as surimi-base or, more generally, intermediate food products (I.F.P.). The inventive production method comprises the following successive steps: (1) initial minced fish flesh is prepared from fish fillets; (2) said initial mince is washed with water until a washed mince is obtained which contains a residual fraction of sarcoplasmic proteins and lipids of between 0.1 and 3% of the weight of the mince; (3) while wet, the washed mince is refined by eliminating a fraction of impurities; (4) the refined mince is mixed until an even emulsion mince is produced; (6) the emulsified mince is drained so as to produce a densified mince; (7) cryoprotectants are then added to the densified mince in order to form a final freezable mince; (8) the final mince is packed in nutrient plates; and (9) said plates are frozen. In this way, a quality I.F.P is obtained with a significantly increased production yield in relation to the prior art, particularly for fatty fish.

Abstract: A software licensing Application Programming Interface (API) that allows software products to use the license management functionality of a common service. A license specifies rights in a software product. The software product calls a consume method on the API in order to consume a right. If the right exists, the service binds the right to the license in which the right is found. The software product enforces the terms of the license by granting, or denying, access to some or all features depending on whether a valid instance of the right is found. Arbitrary data can be associated with a right. The API includes a method to retrieve data from a right that has been previously bound by the consume method.

Granted: 2010-06-15
Abstract: The invention controls transmission power levels in a spread spectrum time division duplex communication station. A first communication station transmits a communication to a second communication station. The second station receives the communication and measures its received power level. Based on, in part, the received communication's power level and the communication's transmission power level, a path loss estimate is determined. A quality of the path loss estimate is also determined. The transmission power level for a communication from the second station to the first station is based on, in part, weighting the path loss estimate in response to the estimate's quality.
