Assignee:

Mars, Incorporated - McLean VA

International Classification:

A23G 1/36

Abstract:

A white chocolate comprising nonendogenous amounts of isovaleric acid and/or 2-methylbutyric acid is provided. It has now been surprisingly discovered that small amounts of isovaleric acid, i.e., less than 400 ppb, and/or nonendogenous amounts of 2-methyl butyric acid can provide enhanced organoleptic properties to white chocolate, for an extended period of time, thereby enhancing the shelf life of the white chocolate. Methods of providing the white chocolate and providing a white chocolate having an enhanced shelf life are also provided.

F16C 33/00

Abstract:

An air bearing assembly is provided that includes a bearing sleeve that has two slots side-by-side having rectangular profiles for engaging the ends of first and second bearing foils for supporting a shaft of a dual-stage compressor. The first rectangular-profile slot, which may be made using a broaching process, is designed to receive first ends of the first bearing foil and the second bearing foil. The second rectangular-profile slot, which may also be made using a broaching process, is designed to receive a second end of the second bearing foil. This dual-slot design replaces the complex “L” shaped single slot design of conventional bearing sleeves, allowing for high-volume, low-cost manufacturing of the bearing sleeves. The dual-slot design also provides for robust engagement of the bearing foils with the bearing sleeves, while allowing easy assembly and installation of the air bearing assemblies.
