Title: Communication protocol for controlling transfer of temporal data over a bus between devices in synchronization with a periodic reference signal
Inventor: WALLACE RON
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 2003-10-24
Granted: 2010-08-31
Abstract: A communication protocol over the serial bus allows a peripheral device to control the flow of data between a host computer and the peripheral device so as to maintain synchronization to a periodic reference signal. The protocol involves transferring flow control messages between the peripheral device and the host computer, allowing the peripheral device to control how and when the host computer sends the uncompressed audio and video data. The audio and video data may be sent as separate streams. Using the IEEE-1394 protocol, the flow control messages are sent using an asynchronous protocol. whereas uncompressed video and audio data are sent using an isochronous protocol. Streams of uncompressed video and audio data are transferred from the host computer over a serial bus to the peripheral device, where the peripheral device performs operations on the data such as encoding the data into a standard format, such as DV and MPEG. or generating an analog video signal. Decoding of standard format data is avoided, allowing an analog video signal to be generated with less processing. Further. resources on the host computer are not used for encoding video data, thus allowing those resources to be used for more creative operations on the video and audio data. The peripheral device also may output standard format data using a standard protocol over a standard bus. For example. the peripheral device may generate DV format data from the uncompressed audio and video data, and output the DV  format data using a standard DV transport protocol over an IEEE-1394 compliant serial bus.  The peripheral device also can be used to synchronize another device. such as a transcoder, that is connected to the peripheral device via a serial bus. such as an IEEE-compliant bus. to a periodic reference signal received by the peripheral device. For example. the peripheral device may perform DV encoding of the uncompressed audio and video data received from the host computer. The peripheral device then transfers this DV format data over the serial bus using a standard protocol to the other device. The operation of this other device may be genlocked to the same periodic reference signal provided to the peripheral device. thus synchronizing the peripheral device and the other device.

Title: Soybean meal with a reduced fat and soluble sugar content, and methods of making and using the same
Inventor: OLIVEIRA MIGUEL ANGELO F
IPC: A23L11/00
Filed: 2001-08-22
Granted: 2010-07-06
Abstract: High protein, low soluble-sugar, oil containing soybean meal suitable for use as a partial or full replacement of fish meal and other protein and energy sources in the manufacture of fish and land animal feeds and petfoods, is produced by a process in which oil is mechanically extracted from dehulled, flaked soybeans. Soluble sugars are then extracted from the defatted soybean cake using an ethanol/water mixture in a counter-current solvent extraction process. The resulting meal contains a minimum of about 8 percent by weight residual soybean oil, and it is dried, cooled and ground to produce a fine, free-flowing powder product. The process also produces a sugar syrup suitable for use as a fermentation source for the production of ethanol, and a premium soybean oil. This syrup is also suitable to be used as a taste enhancer for animal feed (typically added to the soybean meal).

Abstract: A chemiresistor sensor probe for defecting target analytes. The probe includes a body having a first control surface and a second control surface recessed within the first. A sensor film comprises numerous conductive particles disposed upon the second surface. The film swells upon absorbing one or more analytes for which it has an affinity, thus causing the conductive particles to become more dispersed and increasing the resistance between the particles, The thickness of the film is equal to the distance between the first surface and the second surface, thus permitting the thickness to be controlled by varying the distance between the control surfaces. The robustness of the sensor probe is enhanced by placing a porous or mesh electrode along with, or in place of, a chemical binding agent between the film and the terminals. The robustness is also improved by placing a diode in series with the sensor circuit.
