Patent CA-2562670-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PATIST ALEXANDER
IPC: A23L7/104
Filed: 2005-04-14
Abstract: Corn oil is extracted from corn to form a corn meal. Processing the corn grain to obtain the oil, meal, and other product streams generally includes dividing the corn kernel by fractionating to create a higher oil fraction and a lower oil fraction, forming a solvent extractable structure from the higher oil fraction, and extracting the oil from the higher oil fraction. The extracted corn oil is useful for making nutritionally enhanced edible oil or cooking oil, lubricants, biodiesel, fuel, cosmetics and oil-based or oil-containing chemical products. The extracted corn meal is useful for making enhanced animal feed rations, snack food, blended food products, cosmetics, and fermentation broth additive. The lower oil fraction is useful for one or more processes such as fermentation, wet-milling, animal feed production, sweetener production, and starch production, making enhanced animal feed rations, snack food, blended food products, and cosmetics.

Title: Cancelling distortion
Inventor: CURTIS JOHN S
IPC: H03D7/18
Filed: 2007-09-28
Abstract: A pre-distortion stage 50 is arranged to cancel a harmonic or intermodulation signal produced from an input signal. The pre-distortion stage includes non-amplifying components comprising a first distortion generator network 51 arranged to produce an in-phase distorted version of the input signal and a second harmonic generator network 52 arranged to produce an in-quadrature distorted version of the input signal.  Outputs of the first and second distortion generator networks are combined to produce a combined distortion signal the amplitude and phase of which can be independently adjusted to be of a same amplitude and frequency as, but 180 deg. out of phase with, the harmonic or intermodulation signal generated from the input signal, so as to cancel the harmonic or intermodulation signal. The pre-distortion stage has particular application in cancelling spurs generated in a mixer when the spurs are too close in frequency to a required signal to be efficiently removed by filtering..
