Filed:

Jul 26, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/899438

Inventors:

Steven M. McCarter - York PA, US
Ronald W. Jenkins - York PA, US

Assignee:

BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P. - Arlington VA

International Classification:

G06F 15/00

US Classification:

702188, 702 31, 702189, 422 681, 422 58, 422 8207, 7315218, 7315229

Abstract:

Improved water monitoring systems comprise a test unit having an analytical device and a control system in communication with the test unit such that water supply data generated at the test unit can be communicated to the control system. In some embodiments, the analytical device can be a fluorometer that can monitor the fluorescence induction pattern of algae located in the water, which can indicate, when the induction pattern is compared against known baseline induction patterns, the potential presence of toxic chemicals located in the water supply. In other embodiments, the analytical device can comprise, for example, a pH meter, an infrared spectroscopy (IR) device or the like. In some embodiments, the test unit can provide continuous intake, analysis, and can communicate water supply data to the control system via a wireless communication device, fiber optic cable or the like.

Assignee:

Rhone-Poulenc Inc. - Monmouth Junction NJ

International Classification:

A23L 1103
A23L 104
A23L 1317

US Classification:

426573

Abstract:

A thermo-irreversible gel composition prepared from a soluble dietary fiber which is derived from the amylase hydrolysis of cereal and a hydrocolloid, preferably carrageenan or a blend of xanthan gum and locust bean gum can be effectively used as a fat mimic in preparing low fat comminuted meat products.

Filed:

Mar 14, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/212076

Inventors:

Ronald K. Jenkins - Washington PA
James L. Wild - Pittsburgh PA

Assignee:

Rhone-Poulenc Inc. - Princeton NJ

International Classification:

A23L 1314

US Classification:

426574

Abstract:

A cereal or grain hydrolysate-containing composition which is derived from the enzymatic, e. g. , amylase, hydrolysis of cereal or grain in combination with a hydrocolloid, preferably carrageenan or a blend of xanthan gum and locust bean gum, can be effectively used as a fat mimic in preparing low fat comminuted meat products. Thermo-irreversible gels useful for providing non-fat fat mimics can also be prepared in accordance with the invention. In addition to amylase, the enzyme used for the hydrolysis of the cereal/grain substrate can be selected from the group consisting of amyloglucosidases (. alpha. -1,4-glucan glucohydrolase), cellulases (. beta. -1,4-glucanohydrolase), pullulanases (pullulane 6-glucanohydrolase), cyclodextrine glycosyltransferase (. alpha. -1,4-glucan-4-glycosyltransferase), proteases and mixtures thereof.
