Title: Reduced calorie snack food product comprising a reduced calorie fat composition or fried in said fat composition or coated with said fat composition
Inventor: MONTEZINOS DAVID LEE
IPC: A23L19/18
Filed: 1994-03-31
Abstract: Reduced calorie, low moisture cooked snack food products which have desirably low greasiness and acceptable lubriciousness are disclosed. These low moisture snack food products comprise an edible substrate and a reduced calorie fat composition. The reduced calorie fat composition which is used has a Waxy/GreasyThixotropic Area Value ranging from about 25 kPa/s to about 150 kPa/s and comprises from about 70 % to 100 % of a mondigestible fat component and from 0 % to about 30 % of a triglyceride fat or oil component. The nondigestible fat component contains a liquid nondigestible oil and solid nondigestible particles of polyol polyester. These solid particles are dispersed in the liquid nondigestible oil in an amount sufficient to control passive oil loss. The nondigestible fat component further has a Solid Fat Content profile slope between room temperature and body temperature of from 0 to about -0.75 % solids/°F. The low moisture snack food products are characterized by fat contents ranging from about 23 % to about 32 %.
Patent CA-2162367-A1 (CA)
Title: Video copy protection process enhancement to introduce horizontal and vertical picture distortions
Inventor: WONFOR PETER J
IPC: G06F21/10
Filed: 1994-05-09
Abstract: Enhancements to a video anticopying process that causes an abnormally low amplitude video signal to be recorded on an illegal copy. The enhancements in one version introduce into the overscan portion of the television picture, just prior to the horizontal or vertical sync signals but in active video, a negative going waveform that appears to the television receiver or videotape recorder to be a sync signal, thereby causing an early horizontal or vertical retrace. One version provides (in the right overscan portion of the picture), a checker pattern of alternating gray and black areas which causes the TV set on which the illegal copy is played to horizontally retrace earlier than normal in selected lines with a consequential horizontal shift of the picture information on those lines. This substantially degrades picture viewability. In another version a gray pattern at the bottom overscan portion of the picture causes vertical picture instability. In another version selected horizontal sync signals are narrowed, causing irregular vertical retraces.  Also provided is apparatus for removing or attenuating these enhancements from the video signal, to allow copying.

Title: Method and system for a user to manually alter the quality of previously encoded video frames
Inventor: ROSEN ANDREW DRUSIN
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 1996-04-19
Abstract: A method and system in which a user manually changes the quality of portions  of video frames after the frames have been previously encoded. Regions of on e or more frames of video are selected to have an increased quality, a decreas ed quality, or a quality which should not be altered (174). After the regions a re defined by a user, the frames of video is digitally re-encoded and inserted into the digitally encoded data stream in place of the previously encoded da ta (182 and 190). In order to easily remove a previously encoded frame from the  data stream and replace it with a newly encoded frame having regions of quality defined by the user, it is preferable to have the newly encoded fram e consume the same number of bits as the previously encoded frame.
