Title: Acid food neutralization
Inventor: HARTZELL SARAH
IPC: A23L19/00
Filed: 1996-07-23
Abstract: A method is provided for increasing the pH of acidic foods and beverages, to thereby reduce the tendency of such foodstuffs to cause heartburn and other esophageal and/or gastrointestinal distress to the consumer. An acidic food or beverage, such as coffee, is combined with an amount of calcium glycerophosphate (CGP) effective to raise the pH of the food or beverage, preferably by at least about 0.5 pH units, and more preferably to a pH of between about 5.4 and 7.0. Edible compositions including CGP, having a pH of greater than about 5.4 are obtained. The CGP may also be added to acidic foods to remove the biting flavor that such foods have, and thus CGP serves as a flavor modulator. Packages comprising CGP inside a container, where the container may be easily opened to provide a single dose of CGP, are useful in the method and in forming the edible compositions.

Title: Method and apparatus for performing direct memory access (dma) byte swapping
Inventor: SRITI MOHAMMED
IPC: G06F13/28
Filed: 1997-03-04
Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing byte swapping using direct memory access (DMA) controller (101) is provided. In a computer system, a DMA  controller for a peripheral component is coupled to system memory (20) via a bus (40). The DMA controller receives a command pointer (220) to initiate a memory access operation. The command pointer specifies the location of the first DMA command in a command list (24) to be executed by the DMA controller.  Each DMA command includes an address word giving the starting address and length word indicating the number of data words to be accessed in memory.  Because the data stored in memory is double-word aligned, the two least significant bits of the length word are not needed to perform the memory access and are instead used to indicate any byte swapping that is to be performed on the data during the memory access. During a memory access, the DMA controller swaps the bytes in each double-word of data as specified by the two least significant bits of the length word.

Title: Method for operation of an air prepurifier which takes into account inlet air conditions
Inventor: MIZE JAMES BRIAN
IPC: B01D53/04
Filed: 1998-12-17
Abstract: A pressure swing adsorber (PSA) air prepurifier includes at least a first adsorber and a second adsorber and a controller for controlling air feed to the first adsorber and the second adsorber. The invention is a "realtime" method for controlling cycle times for each adsorber and includes the following steps. During a determined time period, flow is measured to an adsorber that is coupled to an air inlet. An actual totalized flow to the on-line adsorber is accumulated, based upon the measured flow values. During this time, air feed conditions (e.g., temperature, pressure, relative humidity) are monitored and periodically, a maximum totalized flow to the adsorber is calculated, determined, at least in part, based upon the monitored air feed conditions. Periodically, the actual totalized flow value is compared to a current calculated maximum totalized flow value and upon a predetermined relationship therebetween being reached, the on-line adsorber is decoupled from the air inlet and another adsorber is coupled thereto. The method for controlling cycle times for each adsorber also will take into consideration: variations in load demand, purge to feed ratio and upsets which occur on switching of adsorber beds
