Title: Tar-depleted liquid smoke and method of manufacture
Inventor: MOELLER PATRICK W
IPC: A23L5/20
Filed: 1996-04-26
Granted: 2011-12-06
Abstract: A tar-depleted liquid smoke having total water miscibility, and related method for making same. The tar-depleted liquid smoke may be made from commercially existing liquid smoke products, for instance, by treating such a commercial product with a column filtration process using activated carbon particles packed in the column. The resultant tar-depleted liquid smoke typically will have a phenols reduction of about lot to about 90% compared to the commercial starting product of liquid smoke. In an alternative embodiment, the tar-depleted liquid smoke made from carbon contact is then vacuum concentrated so that it has a phenols content greater than that of the commercial starting product of liquid smoke, but the concentrate will still be totally water miscible.

Abstract: A payload design (100) for a multi-spot-beam satellite communication system includes a plurality of uplink spot beam receivers (102) and downlink spot beam transmitters   (104),  and  a  broadcast  transmitting subsystem (122, 124 and 130) capable of transmitting a broadcast beam (22)  to an entire system geographical service area.  An input filter-switch-matrix (IFSM 132) controllably selects input IF signal bands for routing to an on-board digital signal processor-router  (DSPR 120).  The DSPR (120) subsequently routes all received point-to-point  and  broadcast  data  packets  to  the appropriate  downlink  spot or  broadcast  transmitting subsystems  for transmission thereof.   The broadcast downlink allows broadcast transmissions to occur at the highest efficiency possible,  while also allowing for flexible provision of surge capacity for point-to-point transmissions on previously exhausted spot beams by selective use of the broadcast beam for such point-to-point transmissions.
