Abstract: The present invention includes puffed-food starch material snack, in particular starch material from grains, having an improved crispy texture and a more aesthetic appearance. In general terms, the products are snack chips, cakes, crackers or the like, made from food starch material. The puffed snack product has a puffed starch material body with a perimetrical shape and opposed upper and lower surfaces. At least one of the surfaces has a substantially wavy contour appearing as though individual kernels of grain were joined to each other. The product is made by providing a puffing chamber which permits unconstrained total volume expansion of the material, placing a bulk amount of the food starch material in the puffing chamber, and causing a volumetric expansion of the material placed in the chamber to form a single, unitary puffed food starch material product by constraining expansion of the material in the chamber in at least a first dimension, while permitting unconstrained volumetric expansion of the material in at least a second dimension.

Abstract: The invention provides collections of orthogonally-protected monosaccharides as universal building blocks for the synthesis of glycoconjugates of non-carbohydrate molecules, neo-glycoconjugates and oligosaccharides. This orthogonal protection strategy allows for the specific deprotection of any substituent on the saccharide ring, and greatly facilitates targeted or library-focused carbohydrate-related syntheses. In particular, the invention provides a universal monosaccharide building block of General Formula (I) or General Formula (II) in which A is a leaving group; X is hydrogen, O, N or N3; X1 is hydrogen, -CH2O-, -CH2NH-, -CH3, -CH2N3 or -COO-; and B, C, D  and E are protecting groups that can be cleaved orthogonally, and in which B, C, D and E are absent when X is hydrogen or N3, and E is absent when X1 is hydrogen, CH3 or N3.

Abstract: A control system for a container chassis latching assembly of a trailer provides for initial pressurisation of the latching assembly via the trailer supply line. Once a trailer reservoir is sufficiently charged, pressure is maintained for the latch assembly by the trailer reservoir. A preferred control valve interconnects the supply line with a supply port of the valve to provide the desired pressure at a delivery port. A control port of the valve is connected with the trailer reservoir and shuts off this flow once the trailer reservoir has reached a predetermined pressure. Thereafter, the latch assembly is maintained via air supplied from the trailer reservoir.

Abstract: A flow probe for use in a humidification system is disclosed. The flow probe is adapted to be positioned in a humidified gases flow (for example oxygen or anaesthetic gases) such as that which is provided to a patient in a hospital environment. The flow probe is designed to provide both temperature and flow rate sensing of the gases flow by incorporating two sensors (preferably thermistors) and the shape and alignment of the probe enables accurate readings by reducing the occurrence of condensation on the sensors. A number of possible applications are disclosed wherein the flow sensor is included in humidification control systems which provide a patient with a desired humidity level or simplify the amount of user input required or wherein the flow sensor provides a controller with flow information which may then be used to determine certain, possibly dangerous, conditions (such as incorrect flow sensor placement, breathing circuit disconnected, no water in the humidification chamber or humidity out of required limits).
