Title: Rheologically modified confectioneries produced by employing particular particle size distributions
Inventor: PURWO SANDY AGUS SUSANTO
IPC: A23G1/56
Filed: 1999-03-12
Abstract: This invention relates to confectioneries, and particularly reduced fat chocolates comprising an admixture of non-fat chocolate ingredients in accordance with specified particle size distribution formulae, and the method of preparation thereof. Controlling particle packing, using continuous particle size ingredient distributions and discrete, bi-modal particle size ingredient distributions, has been shown to be useful for achieving highly concentrated chocolate suspensions, having reduced fat concentrations and suitable rheology for moulding, enrobing or extrusion. The methods of this invention are also useful for providing conventional chocolates (25 % or greater fat content) having good rheological characteristics, while reducing cocoa butter usage. Specified particle size distributions are achieved through the selective blending of fine, medium and coarse ingredients. The continuous particle size distributions and bi-modal particle size distributions provide several parameters for manipulating the rheological properties of chocolate.

Patent CA-2348201-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEWIN LAURA ANN
IPC: C09D175/04
Filed: 2001-05-18
Abstract: This invention provides for a two-pack solvent based coating composition that cures in two stages when applied over substrates. The first stage of the cure takes place rapidly under ambient conditions to produce a coating surface that can be readily sanded or buffed. Thereafter, over a period of days a second stage cure takes place to produce a coating having excellent coating properties. Thus, a coated component, such as automotive body, can be speedily moved out from a spray booth without affecting the surface quality of the coated surface. As a result, coating operation productivity can be increased. The aforedescribed dual cure properties of the coating composition result from including in a binder component of the coating composition an acrylic polymer having secondary amine and hydroxyl functionalities.    The composition is most suited for use in automotive refinish applications.

Abstract: An active material powder mixture for batteries or a carbonaceous material powder mixture for electrical double-layer capacitors is composed of a battery active material or a carbonaceous material in combination with an electrically conductive powder that adheres to the periphery of the active material or carbonaceous material and has an average particle size of 10 nm to 10 µm. The battery active material powder mixture may be used to make electrodes for secondary batteries. The carbonaceous material powder mixture may be used to make polarizable electrodes for electrical double-layer capacitors. Secondary cells produced using the active material powder mixture can lower an impedance of an electrode and operate at a high capacity and a high current, have a high rate property, and are thus well-suited for use as lithium secondary cells and lithium ion secondary cells. Electrical double-layer capacitors made using the carbonaceous material powder mixture have a high output voltage and a high capacity because of a low impedance.
