Abstract: A method for the determination of cellulosic-fibre properties, such as, residual lignin content of chemical pulp, with the aid of a spectroscopic technique obtained over a range covering the visible and the near-infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, comprising the steps of obtaining a sample from the process line, minimally removing some excess water, exposing the fibres in the sample to a large beam light source, optionally moving the sample at a constant speed, and acquiring the spectral data over a pre-determined length of time, and correlating the spectrum to a previously determined calibration so as to determine the Kappa number. Alternatively, as an arrangement for process control, the instant invention includes the mounting of the excitation light source and fibre-optic probe along the various locations of the kraft cooking and bleaching process, such as 1) at the drum brownstock washers and 2) throughout the bleach plant deckers, located just before the doctored blade, the probe being connected to a fast scanning spectrometer, via fibre optic cables, with a computer sequencing spectral acquisition and correlating the spectrum against a predetermined calibration, and logging the results.

Title: Yeast-leavened refrigerated dough products
Inventor: DOMINGUES DAVID J
IPC: A21D8/04
Filed: 1994-03-04
Granted: 2010-05-18
Abstract: The present invention provides refrigeratable yeast-leavened dough compositions and methods of making such doughs. The dough's composition and the strain of yeast used therein are chosen to limit the total leavening action of the yeast by controlling the amount of substrate in the dough fermentable by the yeast or by inactivating the yeast at high temperatures. Dough compositions made in accordance with the invention are capable of being leavened at elevated temperatures, yet stored in a sealed container at refrigeration temperatures for extended periods of time. In a preferred embodiment the yeast used in the dough is substantially incapable of fermenting carbohydrates native to the dough and a predetermined quantity of a non--native carbohydrate fermentable by the yeast (e.g. galactose) is added to the dough to provide the desired amount of proofing. A diploid yeast is further provided with the further property of being inactive at low temperature.

Abstract: Traffic flows of data packets from respective packet queues in wireless stations to a shared transmission medium of a wireless network are scheduled in accordance with Hybrid Controlled Channel Access (HCCA) and Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA). HCCA is applied by eliminating from consideration for HCCA access flows for which the sum of a desired minimum age of an oldest data packet in the respective packet queue and the time of creation of the oldest data packet is greater than the present time. For flows that are not eliminated from consideration, HCCA access is granted to the flow having a smallest sum of the desired maximum age of the oldest data packet and the time of creation of the oldest data packet. When all traffic flows are eliminated from consideration for HCCA access, EDCA is applied so that traffic flows compete for access to the medium.
