Abstract: The use for a whole muscle product of a preparation
containing calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide, and
trisodium citrate and/or tripotassium citrate in a specific
ratio improves the hardness significantly, as well as the water
retention and the bindability, providing no troubles in
appearance, even without the addition of a phosphate or with
a reduced amount of the addition of a phosphate, and the
properties thereof are close to those obtained by using a
phosphate. 
     The properties much closer to those obtained by using a
phosphate are demonstrated by means of using a transglutaminase
together with the preparation, resulting from the synergistic
increase in hardness of the whole muscle product with an
extremely small amount of the addition of a transglutaminase.
Further, the increase, with time, in the viscosity of a pickle
due to the transglutaminase is significantly prevented by
controlling the pH of the pickle within a specific range.

Abstract: Method and computer system for reducing the runtime of
a material requirements planning run. A computer system
is loading a plurality of bills of materials into a
data structure (300). It analyses parent-child
relationships (310) between components of the plurality
of bills of materials in the data structure (300) and
sets for each component in the data structure (300) a
counter value (CV) that indicates the number of parent
components for each component. The counter value (CV)
of a specific child component (A2) is decremented when
the planning of a parent component (F1, F2) of the
specific child component (A2) is completed. The
computer system then proceeds with the planning of the
specific child component (A2) if the associated counter
value (CV) indicates that the planning of all parent
components (F1, F2) of the specific child component is
completed.

IPC: G06T7/60
Filed: 2003-12-13
Abstract: It may be desirable to obtain three-dimensional information on a sample 2 to be studied
in an electron microscope. Such information can be derived from a tilt series 2-i of the
sample and a subsequent reconstruction of the three-dimensional structure by means of
a computer algorithm. For a proper reconstruction of the structure in the volume of the
sample it is important that the measurement geometry be known; therefore it is
important that the images be properly aligned. Therefore markers 8-i (e.g. gold
particles) are applied to the sample, which markers yield straight lines 10-i as the
sample is rotated and projections of that rotated sample are made onto one image plane.
According to the invention the straight lines are recognised, which gives the possibility
to identify the individual markers in the images of the tilt series, and to align those
images on the basis of the information thus obtained.

roughened to emit a softened, diffused light. In another embodiment, a
plurality of optic fibers or light pipes are molded in the body of the toothbrush,
with their input ends positioned near the light source and their output ends
terminating at the light-emitting areas. The body may be molded of an opaque
elastomer or rubberized plastic material. A battery and switch may be molded
with the LED in the grip end of the toothbrush handle. The switch can be
formed as a flexible membrane and contact electrode which is depressed when
the user grips the grip end of the toothbrush.

Abstract: The wick of a candle is anchored above the bottom of the candle a flame extinguishing distance so that the wick is extinguished by the candle's molten solid fuel when the wick is consumed. Placement of the wick in this manner helps to eliminate bum through. Additionally, a bottom cavity may be formed in the candle. The cavity may be used for the purpose of helping to anchor the wick a desired flame extinguishing distance above the bottom surface of the candle. The cavity may be advantageously filled with scrap wax material since it will not be consumed by the burning wick.

Abstract: L'invention a trait à un procédé de correction d'éléments yeux rouges dans une image numérique, consistant à générer une liste d'éléments possibles en balayant chaque pixel de l'image pour trouver des profils de saturation et/ou de clarté caractéristiques d'éléments yeux rouges. Pour chaque élément de la liste, on tente de trouver une zone isolée de pixels corrigibles pouvant correspondre à un élément yeux rouges. Chaque tentative fructueuse est enregistrée dans une liste de zones. Chaque zone est ensuite analysée, afin que des statistiques de ladite zone soient calculées et que des propriétés en soient enregistrées, et validée au moyen des statistiques et des propriétés calculées, pour que l'on puisse déterminer si ladite zone est due ou non à un élément yeux rouges. Les zones qui ne sont pas dues à un élément yeux rouges et celles qui se chevauchent sont éliminées de la liste. Chaque zone restante est corrigée, afin que soit réduit l'effet yeux rouges. Lors de la recherche initiale d'éléments, plusieurs types d'éléments peuvent être identifiés.

Abstract: The present invention is a drive mechanism for human powered vehicles. In general, the invention is a unique drive mechanism for any human powered vehicle, such as a bicycle or a human powered boat. The mechanism enables the operator to efficiently apply both arm and leg power for motive force while maintaining the ability to steer using the arms. The mechanism couples the arm and leg motion in a harmonious union similar to a running motion but can be easily uncoupled should the operator prefer to power the vehicle only with leg power. The mechanism enables motive power to be applied with both the up and down stroke of either or both arms. Specifically, the drive mechanism has oscillatable handlebars (52) and a linkage (58, 61, 62, 64, 66, 82, 88, 89) connectable to the drive of the human powered vehicle.
