Abstract: The present invention is directed to isolating the valuable components of cereal grains and allowing the benefits to be more fully exploited. The concept of the present invention initially involves selection of cultivars of cereal grains such as wheat, barley, oats and rye having desired bioactive components including antioxidants, complex phenolics, lignans, flavonoids, vitamins, fiber, protein and other nutrients concentrated in one or more of the outer bran layers. Then separating the outer bran layer into three fractions, according to the desired bioactive components contained in the bran layers including antioxidants, complex phenolics, lignans, flavonoids, vitamins, fiber, protein and other nutrients. This allows the maximum benefit and value to be obtained from the bran fractions as dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, or as enriched food products.

Title: Hvac start-up control system and method
Inventor: RAYBURN RONALD RICHARD
IPC: F24F11/00
Filed: 2005-06-22
Abstract: A controller controls operation of a HVAC&R device, bringing the temperature inside a structure from a first temperature to a second temperature at a predetermined time each day. Sensors sense the temperature both inside and outside the structure. A recovery time is calculated based upon a previously calculated air treatment rate of temperature recovery for the HVAC&R device to drive the temperature of the structure through a temperature change, the recovery time calculation being obtained by multiplying the difference between the sensed temperature inside the structure and the second temperature by the previously calculated air treatment rate. A correction factor is calculated based upon a relationship between the sensed outside temperature and a previously sensed outside temperature, the correction factor being added to obtain a corrected recovery time.     The HVAC&R device is initiated at a time defined by the predetermined time subtracted from the corrected recovery time.
