Abstract: The invention provides a dairy composition containing a complex of
a casein-complexing whey protein digestion product and casein micelles,
and methods for their preparation. Also provided are the digestion
product and methods for its preparation. The digestion product is
provided by the action of a non-rennet protease on whey protein, such
that the digestion product remains with the curds when a composition
including the complex is subjected to a renneting process that provides
curds and a supernatant. The resulting curds also include casein
degradation products. The non-rennet protease is a bacterial protease
chosen from among a microbial protease, a protease from plant origins,
and a protease from animal or marine fish sources, and in a significant
embodiment, the microbial protease is the bacterial protease Novo SP
446. The invention additionally provides a cheese composition and a
cheese product obtained by renneting a dairy composition containing the
casein-complexing whey protein digestion product described herein and
casein micelles. The resulting cheese composition includes whey protein
digestion products and casein degradation products. Methods of
preparing the cheese composition and the cheese product are also
provided. Additionally, the casein-complexing whey protein digestion
product may be added directly to a cheese substance such as a processed
cheese, a cottage cheese, and a cream cheese to provide a cheese
product.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for virtual color makeover of a customer's face. A digital image is taken of the customer's face. Natural skin color is determined by a differential analysis among at least two different sites along the face to identify an area without color. The identified area without color is then used as a basis for projecting the customer's face with the natural skin color. Consultant's choice of preprogrammed color palettes matching the measured natural skin color is then projected on the facial image. A customer's personal choice such as fashion, natural or go-to-work looks can be registered for modifying the consultant's choice color palette. The selected color palette can then be identified as a set of color cosmetic products which are provided to the customer.

Abstract: A stretchable coiled-sheet stent includes a coiled-up sheet having overlapping inner and outer longitudinal sections that is expandable between contracted and enlarged conditions, and a plurality of stretchable elements formed in the coiled-up sheet which are expandable between unstretched and stretched conditions. The coiled-up sheet is preferably formed from a temperature-based shape memory material, such as Nitinol, and at least one of the unstretched and stretched shapes is programmed into the shape memory. For example, the stretchable elements may be initially formed in the stretched shape, and the sheet heat treated to program the stretched shape into the shape memory. After cooling, the stretchable elements may be constrained in the unstretched shape for delivery. Alternatively, the stretchable elements may be formed in the unstretched shape and plastically deformed to their stretched shape, and the sheet may be heat treated to program the stretched shape into the shape memory. Upon cooling, the stretchable elements may return to their unstretched shape. The coiled-sheet stent is delivered in its contracted condition with the stretchable elements in the unstretched shape. The stent is introduced into a blood vessel and advanced to a target location, exposing the stent to the body temperature and activating the shape memory to bias the stretchable elements towards the stretched shape. The stent is deployed, at least partially expanding towards the enlarged condition due to the bias of the stretchable elements towards the stretched shape.

Abstract: A coding apparatus includes shift register, input register
and logical operation section. The shift register performs
bit shifting on an input bit sequence and stores one
bit of the input bit sequence after another. The input register
stores coefficients of terms on respective orders of a
generator polynomial. The logical operation section obtains
logical products of the respective bits stored on the shift
register and associated bits stored on the input register and
a logical product of each one bit input to the shift register
and an associated bit stored on the input register so that the
earlier a bit of the input bit sequence was input, the
higher-order one of the coefficients in the terms of the
polynomial the input bit is associated with. Next, the logical
operation section derives an exclusive logical sum of the
products and then outputs the sum as a bit of a code sequence.

Abstract: A frequency determination circuit (204) determines, with a high
precision, whether the frequency of a clock signal (CLK) is higher or lower than a
reference frequency. A capacitor element (251) is charged/discharged with a power
supply voltage (VDD) that is cycled by a switching transistor according to the clock
signal. A comparator circuit (215) compares a constant reference voltage produced
by a band-gap regulator (211) circuit from the power supply voltage with a voltage
stored in the capacitor element. A high/low determination circuit (216) determines,
from the output signal of the comparator circuit, whether the clock signal
frequency is higher or lower than a predetermined reference frequency. This
makes it possible to determine with precision whether the clock signal has a low frequency or
a high frequency.
