Title: Edible laminated dough and edible lamination dispersion therefor
Inventor: VAN EENDENBURG JACOBUS
IPC: A21D13/08
Filed: 1996-06-14
Abstract: Edible laminated dough is made with a water continuous lamination dispersion. The lamination dispersion includes a combination of hydrocolloids. Expressed on the non-fat contents of the lamination dispersion, 0.5-40% protein hydrocolloid and 0.1-60% non-protein hydrocolloid or gelatin are included. The water content of the lamination dispersion is 15-90%, the fat content 0-80%. From the dough e.g. puff pastry, croissants and Danish pastry can be made having good structure and taste. With the laminated dough a wider range of laminated baked products can be obtained, e.g. containing less or nutritionally more attractive fat having a different taste profile. A preferred combination of hydrocolloids is aggregate gel forming maltodextrin and sodium caseinate. Another preferred lamination dispersion is based on cheese not containing melting salts.

Patent CA-2194806-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MEISTER JACK B
IPC: G01F23/296
Filed: 1997-01-10
Abstract: Liquid level is measured within a vessel of predetermined height by directing sonic or ultrasonic energy toward the liquid surface from both above and beneath the liquid surface, receiving energy returned from the liquid surface, and developing first and second signals respectively indicative of headspace above the liquid surface and liquid height within the vessel. These first and second signals are compared to the predetermined vessel height so as to identify apparently erroneous first or second signals indicative of a total liquid height and headspace either greater than or less than the predetermined height of the vessel. Level of liquid in the vessel is then determined as a function of the first and second signals not so identified as apparently erroneous. In this way, false signals caused by turbulence at the liquid surface or an inclined liquid surface are automatically discarded, yielding a more accurate reading of liquid level.

Inventor: BURKE RONALD F
IPC: B63B22/00
Filed: 1997-04-07
Abstract: This invention relates to a drifting marker buoy that exhibits dual drift characteristics. These characteristics emulate the drift of a person in water, i.e. a minimum leeway object, as well as a larger object such as a life raft in water, i.e. a maximum leeway object. The marker buoy is capable of being packaged within a small housing and can be easily air deployed using, for example, a small military "A-size" launch tube. The buoy can be monitored by a variety of means and adapted so that it is capable of acquiring geographical self-location data via satellite-based positioning systems. Incorporating a configurable drift object, in a sonobuoy air launch package, along with the capability of a wave crest sensor represents a significant advance in SAR buoy technology.

Title: Signal coder
Inventor: OZAWA KAZUNORI
IPC: G10L19/10
Filed: 1997-05-27
Abstract: Wide-band speech signals and also music signals are coded with relatively less computational efforts and less sound quality deterioration even at low bit rates. A spectral parameter calculator 200 obtains a spectral parameter from sub-frames of input signal from a sub-frame divider 120, and quantizes the obtained spectral parameter. A divider 410 divides the difference result from a subtractor 235 into a plurality of sub-bands. Adaptive codebook circuits 300 obtain a pitch prediction signal by obtaining pitch data in at least one of sub-bands. Judging circuits 420 execute pitch prediction judgment by using the pitch data in at least one of the sub-bands. A synthesizer 430 synthesizes a pitch prediction signal. A subtractor 230 subtracts the pitch prediction signal from the difference result from a subtractor 235 and thus obtains an excitation signal. An excitation quantizer 350 quantizes the excitation signal with reference to an excitation codebook 355.
