| 20080299273 | METHOD OF REDUCING ACRYALMIDE BY TREATING A FOOD PRODUCT - Disclosed is a method for making low acrylamide potato flakes. When the treated potato flakes made by the present invention are used to make a low moisture, shelf stable food product, the level of acrylamide will be lower than if untreated flakes are used. The present invention is directed towards treating potato slices in an acidic solution prior to the mashing step. Optionally an acrylamide reducing agent can be added to the cooked and mashed potatoes before drum drying the potato mash and grinding the dried mash into potato flakes. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090130292 | Sweet Potato Flake Process - The present invention discloses formulations for sheeted, baked sweet potato chips that have a light, crispy texture similar to a white potato chip. The ingredients are combined with water and oil to make a dough, which is then sheeted and cut into pieces. The pieces are baked to produce sweet potato snack chips. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20100143540 | METHOD FOR MAKING A LOW-ACRYLAMIDE CONTENT SNACK WITH DESIRED ORGANOLEPTICAL PROPERTIES - A method for making a food product with a low acrylamide content having organoleptical properties, comparable to traditional food products. Potatoes containing a low reducing sugar concentration are used to make potato flakes. Dextrose is added to the low reducing sugar potato flakes to increase the total reducing sugar concentration. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20110104345 | METHOD OF REDUCING ACRYLAMIDE BY TREATING A FOOD INGREDIENT - Disclosed is a method for making low acrylamide food ingredients. When the treated food ingredient powders or flakes made by the present invention are used to make a low moisture, shelf stable food product, the level of acrylamide will be lower than if untreated food ingredient powders or flakes are used. The present invention is directed towards making dehydrated food ingredients from raw foods having relatively high levels of reducing sugars by making a dryable puree. Optionally an acrylamide reducing agent can be added to the puree before drum drying and grinding the dried puree into a powder. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20100199386 | CONTROL OF COLD-INDUCED SWEETENING AND REDUCTION OF ACRYLAMIDE LEVELS IN POTATO OR SWEET POTATO - The present invention is directed to methods and compositions to eliminate cold storage-induced sweetening of potato or sweet potato. The invention is accomplished in part by silencing the vacuolar acid invertase gene using RNAi technology. The resulting potatoes withstand cold storage without significant hexogenesis, producing potatoes or sweet potatoes that have reduced Maillard reactions when fried in hot oil. The fried products accumulate significantly lower levels of acrylamide compared to controls. | 08-05-2010 |

| 20080267498 | UNSUPERVISED COLOR IMAGE SEGMENTATION BY DYNAMIC COLOR GRADIENT THRESHOLDING - A method for segmenting an image includes computing a color gradient map based on an inputted image and selecting at least one initial seed of at least one pixel based on the color gradient map. The method further includes growing a region of pixels adjacent to the initial seed and merging adjacent regions of pixels using a measure of similarity. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090080773 | Image segmentation using dynamic color gradient threshold, texture, and multimodal-merging - A method for segmenting an image receives the image. The image has a number of pixels and a number of color channels. The image is initially segmented into a number of initial regions at least by dynamically selecting a plurality of seeds within the image using a dynamic color gradient threshold and growing the initial regions from the seeds until the initial regions encompass all the pixels of the image. A texture channel of the image is generated at least by applying an entropy filter to each of a plurality of quantized colors of the image. The initial regions into which the image has been initially segmented are multimodal-merged based on the color channels and the texture channel of the image, to yield a number of merged regions corresponding to segmentation of the image. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20100183225 | Methods for adaptive and progressive gradient-based multi-resolution color image segmentation and systems thereof - A multi-resolution color image segmentation algorithm which takes advantage of gradient information in an adaptive and progressive framework is described. A gradient-based segmentation method is initiated with a dyadic wavelet decomposition scheme of an arbitrary input image, accompanied by a vector gradient calculation of its color converted counterpart. The resultant gradient map is used to automatically and adaptively generate thresholds for segregating regions of varying gradient densities, at different resolution levels of the input image pyramid. In combination with a confidence map and non-linear spatial filtering techniques, regions of high confidence are passed from one resolution level to another until the final segmentation at highest (original) resolution is achieved. | 07-22-2010 |

| 20100038830 | METHODS FOR FORMING BIODEGRADABLE NANOCOMPONENTS WITH CONTROLLED SHAPES AND SIZES VIA ELECTRIFIED JETTING - Methods of forming a plurality multiphasic nano-components (MPNs) having at least two phases, with high selectivity for at least one of shape, size, or phase orientation in the nano-component are provided. The methods provide high yields of substantially similar nano-components by controlling one or more of: polymer concentration, liquid stream composition, liquid stream conductivity, flow rate, humidity, temperature, pressure, electrode design and/or configuration during an electrified jetting process. Such methods of making MPNs form shapes including disks, rods, spheres, rectangles, polygons, toroids, cones, pyramids, cylinders, fibers, and combinations thereof. Such MPNs can be used in various applications, including for medical diagnostics or with pharmaceutical, personal care, oral care, and/or nutritional compositions. | 02-18-2010 |

| 20110033059 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCING ECHO AND NOISE IN A VEHICLE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT ENVIRONMENT - An echo cancelling algorithm in a communication device initializes a step size value used in an adaptive echo filter based on a background noise signal power level relative to a power level of a received signal and a power level of an echo estimate relative to an output of an echo canceller. The algorithm then adjusts the step size value. One aspect adjusts the step size based on the detection of large fast fourier transform values at one, or more, disturbing-signal frequencies. Another aspect estimates residual echo energy to adjust an estimated echo energy, which then is used to set a double talk flag if a transmit signal has much more power than the estimated echo signal. Another aspect compares transmit signal power to a decimated version of the transmit signal power and sets the double talk flag if the former exceeds the latter by a predetermined amount. | 02-10-2011 |
