20100098811 | PARTICULATE STRUCTURATION FOR IMPROVING THE DISSOLUTION KINETICS OF FOOD POWDERS - The present invention relates to the field of modification of dissolution kinetics of particulate materials. In particular, the present invention relates to the adaptation of the dissolution kinetics of powders, e.g., food powders to a particular purpose. One embodiment of the present invention relates to a Composite Particle to be dissolved comprising at least two solid soluble sub-particles, at least one of which has a negative heat of dissolution in the liquid the Composite Particle is to be dissolved in. | 04-22-2010 |
20140356340 | EXTENSIONAL VISCOSITY TO PROMOTE SAFE SWALLOWING OF FOOD BOLUSES - Nutritional products having improved cohesiveness of food boluses and methods of making and using same are provided. The nutritional products may include nutritional compositions and high molecular weight, water-soluble polymers such that the nutritional products have extensional viscosities that provide improved cohesiveness to the nutritional products and Trouton ratios of at least 6. Methods of administering such nutritional products to patients having impaired swallowing ability and/or dysphagia are also provided. | 12-04-2014 |
20150079004 | METHODS FOR INCREASING SWALLOWING EFFICACY - In a general embodiment, a method for increasing efficacy of a swallow response is provided. The method includes providing a thickened composition having a xanthan gum thickening component, and orally administering the composition to an individual having, or at risk of having, a swallowing impairment. In an embodiment, the efficacy of the swallow response is increased by reducing an amount of pharyngeal residue in the individual's piriform sinuses, valleculae, and/or pharyngeal wall during or after the individual swallows the composition. | 03-19-2015 |

20130310661 | APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSING SWALLOWING DYSFUNCTION - The present disclosure is directed to apparatuses and methods for diagnosing a swallowing dysfunction. The apparatuses may include a multi-parametric dysphagia analysis system in a plastic foil. The analysis systems may be smart sensing systems that are flexible, lightweight, and based on substrates having low-cost printed electronics technologies thereon. The methods may include measurement and classification of non-invasive parameters that may be indicative of a swallowing dysfunction or the probability of same. In a general embodiment, the methods include placing a sensor on a patient for measurement of at least one parameter associated with the patient's swallowing profile. The measured parameter is then analyzed and compared with several known normal and dysphagic swallowing profiles to provide an indication of the probability of an underlying swallowing dysfunction. | 11-21-2013 |
20140294787 | EXTENSIONAL VISCOSITY TO PROMOTE SAFE SWALLOWING OF FOOD BOLUSES - Nutritional products having improved cohesiveness of food boluses and methods of making and using same are provided. The nutritional products may include nutritional compositions and high molecular weight, water-soluble polymers such that the nutritional products have extensional viscosities that provide improved cohesiveness to the nutritional products and Trouton ratios of at least 6. Methods of administering such nutritional products to patients having impaired swallowing ability and/or dysphagia are also provided. | 10-02-2014 |

20130124978 | TEXT IMAGE REVIEW PROCESS - Techniques that facilitate review of bitmapped representations of text in a file are described. In some embodiments, one or more signals representative of cursor movements over a bitmapped representation of text in a bitmap image may be received. One or more selected text elements may be determined based on the cursor movements. Determining may include searching a data structure, separate from the bitmap image, which includes information regarding text element locations corresponding to the bitmapped text representation in the bitmap image. A portion of the bitmapped representation of text corresponding to the determined selected text elements may be highlighted. | 05-16-2013 |

20140233463 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR VOICE DOMAIN OPERATION - Methods and apparatus for voice domain operation are described herein. One example method includes determining that an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) network is not preferred for voice service based on receiving a response message to a NAS message via the E-UTRA network, wherein the response message to the Non-Access Stratum (NAS) message comprises an indication that no voice service is available, storing an identification of a first public land mobile network (PLMN), wherein the first PLMN is associated with the E-UTRA network that is not preferred for voice service, and avoiding selection of a second PLMN's E-UTRA network when an identification of the second PLMN matches the identification of the first PLMN | 08-21-2014 |

20100222116 | HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING TWO DEVICE MEMBERS SLIDABLE RELATIVE TO A BRIDGE - In a particular embodiment there is provided a handheld electronic device, comprising a bridge, a first device member having a first i/o element thereon and a second device member having a second i/o element thereon. The first and second device members are slidable relative to the bridge between a closed position for the handheld electronic device and a spaced-apart position for the handheld electronic device. In the closed position the first and second device members overlap such that the first device member blocks access to the second i/o element. In the spaced-apart position the second i/o element is accessible and the first and second device members are spaced apart by a selected non-zero spacing. | 09-02-2010 |
