Title: Methods and apparatus for reliable voicemail message deletion alerts at mobile communication devices
Inventor: VANDER VEEN RAYMOND
IPC: H04M3/537
Filed: 2006-01-10
Abstract: In one illustrative method of processing voicemail information at a mobile communication device, a first voicemail notification message corresponding t o a voicemail message associated with a voicemail system is received through a wireless transceiver of the mobile device. The first voicemail notification message includes a first voicemail message time expiration value associated with the voicemail messag e which is stored in memory of the mobile device. If an expiration of the first voicema il message time expiration value occurs prior to a predetermined event (e.g. an earlier saving or deleting of the voicemail message), a voicemail message deletion indication is produced at a user interface of the mobile communication device. If the voicemail message is saved at the voicemail system after retrieval of the voicemail message, a second voicemail notification message is received through the wireless transceiver in response. The second voicemail notification message includes a second voicemail messag e time expiration value associated with the saved voicemail message which is saved in the memory. If an expiration of the second voicemail message time expiration val ue occurs prior to another predetermined event, the voicemail message deletion indication is produced at the user interface. Advantageously, voicemail message deletion alerts are provided accurately at the mobile device.

Title: Machine for precision low stress coring and slicing of apples and other soft-cored or pitted fruits
Inventor: BERGLIN JOHN SCOTT
IPC: A23L19/00
Filed: 2004-06-25
Abstract: Fruit items (1) are positioned between vertical pins (2, 5) located in the calyx and stem hole of said fruit item, thereby securing the fruit item by a compressive force through its core. A core tube (3) surrounding the upper pin descends to meet the lower pin, thereby completely piercing the fruit item and isolating its core inside the tube. A cushioned ram (4) pushes the edible portion of the fruit item down over the core tube, through a cassette of radial knives (6), creating a plurality of wedges that fall immediately into an enzyme bath. The bath seals freshness into the fruit item's cell structure by preventing contact with oxygen. The solid core is ejected and the edible outside portion of the fruit item is not touched or bruised by mechanical handling.
Patent CA-2572502-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FOODY BRIAN
IPC: C12P7/10
Filed: 2005-07-15
Abstract: A process for obtaining a product sugar stream from cellulosic biomass is disclosed. In one process, the cellulosic biomass is pretreated at a pH  between about 0.4 to 2.0 by adding one or more than one acid to produce a pretreated cellulosic biomass comprising acetic acid. One or more than one base is then added to the pretreated cellulosic biomass to adjust the pretreated cellulosic biomass to a pH of about 4.0 to about 6.0 to produce a neutralized cellulosic biomass comprising inorganic salt and acetate salt. The neutralized biomass is then hydrolyzed by cellulase enzymes to produce a crude sugar stream. Insoluble residue is separated from the crude sugar stream and the resulting clarified sugar stream is treated using ion exclusion chromatography at about pH 5.0 to about 10.0 to produce one or more raffinate streams and a product stream. The raffinate stream comprises inorganic salts and acetate salts, and the product stream comprises sugar. The product stream may then be fermented or otherwise further processed. In an alternate process, a product sugar stream is obtained from a crude sugar stream that is produced from conversion of cellulosic biomass to sugar. The cellulosic biomass may be produced using any suitable method. In this process the crude sugar stream is treated using ion exclusion chromatography at about pH 5.0 to about 10.0 to produce one or more than one raffinate stream comprising sulfate and acetate salts, and a product stream comprising sugar, and the product sugar stream is obtained.
