Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing a leavened bread dough, said method comprising the following sequence of processing steps: combining flour, water, yeast and/or leavening agent, and optionally one or more additional bakery ingredients to produce a dough-type mix; mixing and working the dough-type mix in a mixer to produce an underdeveloped dough with a density of 0.9-1.5 g/ml, the total energy input from the mixer into the underdeveloped dough during said mixing and working of the dough-type mix being at least 1 W.h/kg; further working a batch of at least 15 kg of the underdeveloped dough by subjecting it to deformation shear, thereby producing a developed dough; dividing the developed dough into two or more developed dough pieces having an individual mass of 30-3000 g; and leavening the developed dough pieces to yield leavened dough pieces having a specific volume of at least 2.0 ml/g; wherein the aforementioned sequence of processing steps is completed within 3 hours. The present process employs high energy working to produce an underdeveloped dough, followed by low energy working to further develop the dough. By employing a combination of high energy working and low energy working the total working energy needed for preparation of a fully developed dough can be reduced substantially. At the same time, this combination of working conditions produces a dough that after baking yields a very soft crumb with an extremely regular crumb structure.The invention further provides a loaf of tin bread having a unique cellular structure that can be obtained by the aforementioned method as well as an apparatus for operating the above mentioned method.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种制备发酵面包面团的方法，所述方法包括以下步骤：将面粉，水，酵母和/或膨松剂以及任选的一种或多种另外的焙烤成分混合以生产面团型 混合; 混合并将面团型混合物在混合器中加工，以产生密度为0.9-1.5g / ml的不发达面团，在面团型混合物的混合和加工过程中从混合器输入到不发达面团中的总能量为 至少1 Wh / kg; 通过使其变形剪切进一步处理一批至少15kg不发达面团，由此产生展开的面团; 将发达的面团分成两个或更多个具有30-3000g的单一质量的显影的面团片; 发酵出的生面团块以产生具有至少2.0ml / g比体积的发酵面团片; 其中上述处理步骤的顺序在3小时内完成。 本发明的方法采用高能量加工来生产不发达的面团，然后进行低能量加工以进一步开发面团。 通过采用高能量加工和低能量加工的组合，可以显着降低制备完全发酵的面团所需的总的工作能量。 同时，这种工作条件的组合产生一个面团，烘烤后产生非常规则的碎屑结构的非常柔软的面包屑。 本发明还提供了一种可以通过上述方法获得的具有独特的细胞结构的面包，以及用于操作上述方法的装置。

Abstract: A multi-modal system and method for providing automated directory assistance that can be personalized, and provide current information and promotions from a variety of businesses customers in need of goods and services that can be location sensitive. The multi-modal system can contain a database where business information can be categorized using parameters such as location sensitivity to make dialogs between customers and the system more efficient and valuable. Search results can be presented to customers using algorithms that prioritize the results using weighting schemes based on factors comprising for example proximity, relevancy, location, availability of promotions, and accessibility, and that randomize the prioritized results. The system abstracts the interface to this contact point, allowing businesses and customers to use different types of communication devices, including voice, messaging, web, and wap. Electronic marketing systems such as embedded customer relationship management, e-coupons, e-notifications, and location based services can also be included.

Abstract: A method for selectively muting a portion of a digital audio file has a user account that is associated to a PC device and is managed by a remote server. The system for executing the method has a set of playback modulation processes that enable the user to control how an audio file is played. The method begins by inputting the audio file into a splitter process in order to identify a set of distinct audio tracks. The method then identifies every word found in the audio file and synchronizes a textual transcript of the words with a timeline of the song. The user is then prompted to mute a desired track from the set of distinct audio tracks. Additionally, the user can select a desired process to further manipulate one or more distinct tracks from the set of distinct audio tracks.

Abstract: A heat exchanger comprises a first tube having a first fin of a first predetermined height extending outward therefrom. A second tube is vertically spaced above the first tube. The second tube has a second fin of a second predetermined height extending outward therefrom. A fan is positioned to force ambient air across the second tube and then across the first tube to heat a fluid flowing therethrough. A method of heating a fluid comprises sequentially flowing the fluid upward through a plurality of vertically spaced rows of substantially horizontal tubes, and forcing air downward over the plurality of tubes to heat the fluid.
