Radio Receiver Power Management Systems and Methods

According to some embodiments, an analog radio receiver circuit is configured alternatively in a full-power mode when the receiver is situated in a cradle and connected to an external power source, and in a power-saving mode when the receiver is not connected to the external power source. In the power-saving mode, a scaled-down power level is supplied to an analog radio signal processing circuit component such as an amplifier, filter, oscillator, or mixer. Scaling down the power supplied to analog circuit components allows reducing their power consumption, at the expense of degraded circuit performance (e.g. increased non-linearity and intermodulation, decreased filter selectivity). Switching between full-power and power-saving modes may be achieved by controlling the connection of internal nodes of the signal processing circuit to a power source, and/or inserting circuit components (e.g. resistors, active devices, filter poles) into the signal processing circuit.

Dry dessert mix composition and process

Abstract: Described is a dry dessert mix composition for use in preparing a tangy or yoghurt-like dessert by recon-stitution of the mix with milk and comprising a pregelatinized starch, an edible acid and a hydrocolloid gum. In recent years, instant pudding mixes which rely on the use of thickeners and milk coagulating agents and coagulating accelerators and thereby eliminate the need for cooking by the housewife have become widely available and accepted. These pudding mixes, however, are usually limited to the non-sour type flavors such chocolate, vanilla, etc. Further, although liquid yoghurt analogs and yoghurt-like products may be made with direct acidification, this manufacture involves rather complex liquid phase processing and results in a perishable product similar to commercial yoghurt. Dry mix products, on the other hand, require either low levels of acid or acidogens like glucono-.delta.-lactone. A major problem with making a yoghurt-like product by direct addition of acid to milk is that the larger quantities of acid required to give a yoghurt tartness results in the precipitation of the milk protein (curds and whey). It appears that due to curdling of milk when its pH is lowered below the isoelectric point of milk protein, the prior art restricts the use of an acidulent in a milk-based dessert, particularly when a dry mix is to be employed. Also described is a dry beverage mix composition for use in preparing a tangy beverage by reconstitution of a mix with milk or a milk substitute.

System and method for generating combined embedded multi-view interactive digital media representations

Various embodiments describe systems and processes for capturing and generating multi-view interactive digital media representations (MIDMRs). In one aspect, a method for automatically generating a MIDMR comprises obtaining a first MIDMR and a second MIDMR. The first MIDMR includes a convex or concave motion capture using a recording device and is a general object MIDMR. The second MIDMR is a specific feature MIDMR. The first and second MIDMRs may be obtained using different capture motions. A third MIDMR is generated from the first and second MIDMRs, and is a combined embedded MIDMR. The combined embedded MIDMR may comprise the second MIDMR being embedded in the first MIDMR, forming an embedded second MIDMR. The third MIDMR may include a general view in which the first MIDMR is displayed for interactive viewing by a user on a user device. The embedded second MIDMR may not be viewable in the general view.

Modification of multi-view interactive digital media representation

Provided are mechanisms and processes for inserting a visual element into a multi-view digital media representation (MVIDMR). In one example, a process includes analyzing an MVIDMR to determine if there is an appropriate location to insert a visual element. Once a location is found, the type of visual element appropriate for the location is determined, where the type of visual element includes either a three-dimensional object to be inserted in the MVIDMR or a two-dimensional image to be inserted as or projected onto a background or object in the MVIDMR. A visual element that is appropriate for the location is then retrieved and inserted into the MVIDMR, such that the visual element is integrated into the MVIDMR and navigable by a user.

Radio receiver power management systems and methods

According to some embodiments, an analog radio receiver circuit is configured alternatively in a full-power mode when the receiver is situated in a cradle and connected to an external power source, and in a power-saving mode when the receiver is not connected to the external power source. In the power-saving mode, a scaled-down power level is supplied to an analog radio signal processing circuit component such as an amplifier, filter, oscillator, or mixer. Scaling down the power supplied to analog circuit components allows reducing their power consumption, at the expense of degraded circuit performance (e.g. increased non-linearity and intermodulation, decreased filter selectivity). Switching between full-power and power-saving modes may be achieved by controlling the connection of internal nodes of the signal processing circuit to a power source, and/or inserting circuit components (e.g. resistors, active devices, filter poles) into the signal processing circuit.
