Abstract: In a process to produce Mozzarella cream cheese from cows- or water buffalo-milk by fermentation and rennet, the cheese break is esp. shock-frozen to interrupt the cheese-making process.  The cheese is produced using pasteurised milk at 35C using animal or microbial rennet, bacteria culture produced from lactic acid, and other acidification agent as required e.g. citric acid. The culture forms liquid whey and semi-liquid casein. The casein is separated, diced, drained and then shock-frozen by e.g. liquid carbon dioxide or nitrogen at a temperature below -20C, producing a dry mass of pref. 36-42 per cent. In this condition the Mozzarella cheese may be stored for an extended period. The shock-frozen cheese break is later thawed and returns to its pre-frozen bacteriological condition and is then warmed in salt water and kneaded and formed into Mozzarella cream cheese.

Abstract: User equipment (UE) can detect a Radio Link Control (RLC)
unrecoverable error and a Radio Link (RL) failure. The two
errors are handled differently while the UE is in a dedicated
channel (DCH) state. The RL failure leads to execution of Radio
Access Bearer (RAB) release steps, characterized by utilizing
respective timer values to determine if associated RABs should
be released. The RLC unrecoverable error is not permitted to
execute the RAB release steps. This prevents unnecessary
dropping of services. The UTRAN can optionally include and
set the indicators to command the UE to perform the indicated
RLC re-establishment procedure.

Patent EP-1321111-A2 (EP)

IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 1996-03-20
Abstract: An urethral drain having deep external drainage
channels, a low-profiled bladder retention segment, and a
reversibly detachable collection segment, facilitates the
draining of urine and fluids from the bladder. The low-profiled
retention means minimizes bladder irritations and
the deep external channels reduce the occurrence of
infections. Incorporation of a reduced diameter smooth
segment on the catheter, proximate the location of the
external urethral sphincter allows the patient to void
normally and at will. Modifying the size of this smooth
segment aids the function of a defective sphincter in
controlling urine leakage. The drain can be worn concealed
within the urethra. Flushing action from normal voiding
washes out particulate matters in the urethra and the
concealed drain further minimizes contamination. Together,
these features improve quality of life for patients needing
catheterization.

Abstract: A system and method for processing machine teaming techniques (such
as neural networks) and other non-graphics applications using a graphics
processing unit (GPU) to accelerate and optimize the processing. The system
and method transfers an architecture that can be used for a wide variety of
machine learning techniques from the CPU to the GPU. The transfer of
processing to the GPU is accomplished using several novel techniques that
overcome the limitations and work well within the framework of the GPU
architecture. With these limitations overcome, machine learning techniques are
particularly well suited for processing on the GPU because the GPU is typically
much more powerful than the typical CPU. Moreover, similar to graphics
processing, processing of machine learning techniques involves problems with
solving non-trivial solutions and large amounts of data.
