Title: Low calorie fat-containing frozen dessert products having smooth, creamy, nongritty mouthfeel
Inventor: WHELAN RICHARD HOWARD
IPC: A23G9/34
Filed: 1995-04-20
Granted: 1996-05-23
Abstract: Low calorie frozen desserts, in particular ice cream-like products, having a smooth, creamy, nongritty mouthfeel are can be produced. These frozen desserts contain fat that contains from about 30 to 100% of certain edible, wholly or partially nondigestible intermediate melting polyol polyesters, milk solids other than fat, sweetener, oil-in-water emulsifier, a flavoring substance, and water. The fat is substantially homogeneously dispersed in the aqueous phase as emulsified fat particles having an average particle size of about 5 microns or less. These frozen desserts are obtained by a process which initially involves the formation of a preemulsion by homogenizing a mixture which consists essentially of these intermediate melting polyol polyesters and only a portion of the other dessert ingredients. This preemulsion is then combined with the remaining dessert ingredients, homogenized, pasteurized, and at least partially frozen to provide the frozen desserts.

Title: Polynucleotide composition, method of preparation, and use thereof
Inventor: MUSUNURI SHANKAR
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 1999-03-12
Granted: 2003-09-11
Abstract: A lyophilized polynucleotide composition contains at least one polynucleotide and at least one cryoprotectant, wherein the ratio of the polynucleotide to cryoprotectant is from about 0.001 to about 1.0 part by weight polynucleotide per 1.0 part by weight of the cryoprotectant. This composition also contains from about 0.5 weight percent to about (6) weight percent water, based on the total weight of the final lyophilized polynucleotide composition. The polynucleotide composition of this invention is characterized by enhanced stability, in that it retains at least 90% supercoil over a time period of at least (10) days at a temperature of about 37° C. The lyophilized polynucleotide composition also has improved solubility. An improved process for lyophilization of polynucleotides employs a specific primary drying cycle, that results in the above-described stable, lyophilized polynucleotide composition.

In the method, a primary signal (r1) and at least one interfering co-channel signal (r2-rN) are received on the same TDMA channel (F1, TS3). The co-channel signals propagate through multipath channels (hL,1 . . . hL,N) independent of one another, which provide them with a unique wave form coding. In addition, the co-channel signals have different but known training sequences. The multipath channel estimates of the primary signal (r1) and the at least one interfering co-channel signal (r2-rN) are determined through the received training sequences. After this, the primary signal is detected by utilizing the transmission channel estimates of both the primary signal and the at least one interfering co-channel signal.
