54747937, Dec 12, 1995

Filed:

May 10, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/240542

Inventors:

Larry E. Meyer - Cincinnati OH
Russell A. Parker - Cincinnati OH

International Classification:

A23L 202

US Classification:

426599

Abstract:

A process for preparing calcium-supplemented, ready-to-serve, not-from-concentrate (NFC) fruit juice beverages is disclosed. This process involves circulating an acidified NFC juice stream containing citric and malic acid from a blend tank through a mixing zone that creates turbulent flow. A powdered source of calcium is then added to this acidified juice stream in the mixing zone. The calcium supplemented juice is recirculated back to the blend tank until the acidified juice comprises from about 0. 05 to about 0. 26% by weight solubilized calcium.

Abstract:

The present invention relates to beverage compositions containing calcium and Vitamin C, exhibiting reduced browning. The beverage compositions comprise: a) from about 50 ppm to about 2000 ppm ascorbic acid; b) from about 100 ppm to about 2,000 ppm erythorbic acid; c) From about 0. 03% to about 0. 19% calcium; d) a pH control system comprising an acidic buffering component, such that the pH of the composition is from about 3. 1 to about 4. 5; e) from 0% to about 60% of a flavoring system; f) an effective amount of a sweetening component; and g) water.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A data bus system includes a plurality of interconnected active terminals, i. e. , terminals which receive data from one terminal and retransmit it or transmit new data to another terminal. The data is in serial digital form and is transmitted within a continuous series of time frames of predetermined length with each time frame being initiated by a control word transmitted by one of the terminals designated the controller terminal. Each terminal includes a counter which counts the bits between control words, and each control word includes an identification of the controller terminal so that each terminal can synchronize its counter with the counter at the controller terminal in accordance with the propagation time of data from the controller terminal. Logic circuitry is provided at each terminal so that one of a plurality of terminals can assume the function of the controller terminal should the presently designated controller terminal fail to generate control words to define the time frames. Within each time frame various of the terminals initiate data at appropriate times in accordance with the count on the counter of the initiating terminal, and the transmitted data is coded with the identification of the receiving terminal or terminals which are to direct the data to users tied in to those terminals.

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

A resolver to digital converter which provides digitally generated sinusoidal voltages to apply to the stator windings of the resolver. The oscillator providing the digital pulses is connected to a counter which is reset on a particular phase of one of the stator winding voltages. The output of the counter is transferred into an output register at a particular phase of the rotor voltage with the output register thereby providing a digital reading of the angular position of the rotor. Digital comparator means are provided for insuring that the stator voltages remain exactly 90. degree. out of phase, and further means are provided for insuring that the stator voltages remain at the same amplitude.
