Title: Concentrated dessert cube, methods of manufacture, and packaging therefor
Inventor: STEPHENS JONATHAN
IPC: A23L29/281
Filed: 2000-02-28
Abstract: A dessert cube (10) is provided comprising a concentrated food composition containing a plurality of dessert ingredients, presented to the retail consumer in the form of a cube, tablet, or other suitable compact and substantially rigid form. The food composition typically comprises sugar, of either coarse or fine varieties, flavorings, food coloring, a small amount of water and possibly gelatin, admixed together to produce a free-flowing granular mix. The free-flowing granular mix is subsequently compressed in a press to form the substantially solid block (12) or cube (10). The solid block or cube is adapted to be mixed with and dispersed or dissolved in milk or water by the consumer at the time of preparation, and mixed with a quantity of sugar.

Patent CA-2361001-A1 (CA)
Title: Foldable stand
Inventor: PAI LUCAS
IPC: A45D19/04
Filed: 2001-11-01
Abstract: A stand to support an object has a bottom frame (10) and two side frames (20).  The side frames (20) are each pivotally attached to opposite ends of the bottom frame (10) with a pair of pivot pins (16). The pairs of pivot pins (16) are located at different heights. A clasp (24) is mounted on each side frame (20) to engage the bottom frame (10). When the clasps (24) are released from the bottom frame (10), the side frames (20) can be pivoted relative to the bottom frame (10). The stand is foldable. Because the side frames (20) are respectively pivotally attached to the bottom frame (10) by pairs of pivot pins (16) at different heights, one of the side frames (20) can overlap the other side frame (20). The size of the stand is reduced. Transporting and storing the stand become more convenient.        Fig. 1

Abstract: A system and method for decoding encoded data, employing a parser and at lea st one decoder. The parser receives and parses the encoded data into a pluralit y of parsed data streams, with each of the parsed data streams including a portion of said encoded data. The decoder decodes the parsed data streams based on at least information included in the parsed data streams to provide  decoded data which includes soft decision data. The decoder can perform a respective decoding iteration on each respective one of the parsed data streams to provide the decoded data, and can perform such decoding iteration s based on additional information, such as parity information, pertaining to t he data in the parsed data streams. Alternatively, the decoder can include a plurality of decoders, each adapted to decode a respective one of the parsed  data streams to output a respective decoded data stream as a portion of the decoded data. The system and method alternatively can be configured without a parser, and can employ at least one soft decoder module and another decoder module. The soft decoder module can perform multiple decoding iterations on the encoded data to provide soft decision data relating to the encoded data,  without providing any hard decision data, and the other decoder module decod es the encoded data based on the soft decision data to provide hard decoded dat a representative of a decoded condition of said encoded data and/or soft decision data relating to said encoded data.
