Filed:

Jun 30, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/609121

Inventors:

Tommy L. Chau - Fairfax VA
Khoa Nguyen - Centreville VA
Aradhana Sasan - Chantilly VA
Peter King - Herndon VA
Paul Croushorn - Chantilly VA

Assignee:

Biovail Corporation International - Mississauga

International Classification:

A23G 300

US Classification:

426660, 426658, 426572

Abstract:

The invention provides an uncooked, unspun intimately mixed confectionery composition having sufficient internal cohesively to be handled without losing its integrity as a mass, said composition being substantially free of unbound water and having substantially no phase separation of moisture, containing:(i) a saccharide based component; (ii) a hydrated hydrobinding component having a water activity substantially less than about 0. 75, in combination with a humectant, and a (iii) fat component having a melting point substantially in the range of about 28 to about 45 degrees centigrade for providing a soft yet substantially unsticky chew texture for the composition.

International Classification:

G05F 3/02

US Classification:

323304

Abstract:

Systems and methods for a self-regulating power supply for MEMS thermal actuators to achieve maximum actuator displacement while preventing over powering. The present invention includes a power supply configured to regulate electrical input power to a MEMS thermal actuator in order to provide the maximum possible electrical input power. Accordingly, the present invention provides a maximum actuator displacement while preventing device failure from over powering. The present invention utilizes resistivity versus temperature properties for silicon or the like to provide a self-regulating power supply that can be utilized to power a variety of MEMS components without requiring custom actuator control circuits for each type of component.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709226, 718 1, 718104

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for allocating computer hardware resources of a hard partition of a computer server system to one or more soft partitions. In response to a partitioning request, a nucleus firmware instance of a hard partition may be configured to launch a separate firmware instance corresponding to each requested soft partition, and to allocate partitionable hardware resources of the hard partition to the soft partitions by allocating the hardware resources to each separate firmware instance.

Inventors:

- New Britain CT, US
Khoa NGUYEN - Owings Mills MD, US

International Classification:

A01G 20/47
B05B 1/34
F04D 29/54

Abstract:

A concentrator nozzle attachment for a blower device is disclosed that increases the airflow velocity of the blower without sacrificing the field of the jetting air. The concentrator nozzle is formed of an outer ring with a centrally located guide surface and is placed at the exit of an air tube. As the air exits the air tube, it's forced to flow around the guide surface, thus increasing its velocity. The attachment is secured to the end of the air tube and so does not alter the outer diameter through which the air exits. In this way, air velocity is increased without reducing its effectiveness.
