A system and method for tracking a user history, for presentation thereof within a browser display. An executable software construct operates at a client machine to trap object references, which are then transmitted to a server. The server analyzes the object references and organizes them into a display structure. The display structure is then displayed within the browser, including hyperlinks to allow the user to select a prior system state to which he seeks to return. Preferably, the software construct also manages objects associated with the object reference, for example cookies associated with URLs, in order to assure full definition of the desired state. The display structure may also be provided to browsers distinct from the originating browser.

A composition comprising a film or a plurality of film fragments entrained in a carrier is disclosed. The film or plurality of film fragments can comprise a functional material. The film or plurality of film fragments can comprise repeated shapes. Also disclosed is a composition comprising a plurality of discernable lamellar fragments entrained in a carrier. Also disclosed is a method for administering a functional material to a human or animal subject in need thereof, the method comprising applying to the subject a composition comprising a film or a plurality of film fragments entrained in a carrier, wherein the film comprises the functional material.

Methods, compositions, and articles of manufacture for preparing frozen beverages are described. The methods and articles generally include first and/or second frozen pellets. Upon mixing the frozen pellets with an appropriate liquid for a sufficient time, a frozen beverage is obtained. Articles of manufacture including frozen pellets, as well as optional objects such as straws, spoons, and mixing containers are disclosed. Methods, compositions, and articles of manufacture for preparing frozen pellets are also described.

Animal waste collections mats comprising a textured layer, an absorbent layer attached to the textured layer, and an impermeable layer attached to the absorbent layer. The textured layer of the waste collection mat can have one or more physical properties that animals find pleasing or acceptable. The absorbent layer acquires and stores moisture from the textured layer. The impermeable layer provides containment for the waste products in the textured and absorbent layers.

A method for producing a chewing gum and confections, as well as the chewing gum and confections so produced, incorporates combinations of physiological cooling agents. In another embodiment a combination of physiological cooling agents is made in a modified release structure. The modified release/cooling agents combination is preferably obtained by physically modifying the properties of the combination of cooling agents by coating and drying. When incorporated into gum and confections, these particles are adapted to enhance the shelf stability of the flavor and/or produce a modified release. In another embodiment, coated chewing gum has a coating that comprises combinations of physiological cooling agents. The preferred inventive chewing gum provides a high flavor impact in which the harsh notes normally associated with such a high flavor impact have been reduced or eliminated.

The present invention includes a method for producing a chewing gum with a modified release sweetener selected from the group of N-substituted derivatives of aspartame, particularly neotame, as well as the chewing gum so produced. The modified release neotame or other N-substituted derivative of aspartame sweetener is obtained by physically modifying the sweetener properties by coating and drying. Neotame or another N-substituted derivative of aspartame sweetener is coated by encapsulation, partially coated by agglomeration, entrapped by absorption or extrusion, or treated by multiple steps of encapsulation, agglomeration, absorption, or extrusion. The coated sweetener is then co-dried and particle sized to produce a release-modified high-intensity sweetener. When incorporated into the chewing gum, these particles are adapted to enhance the shelf stability of the sweetener and/or produce a modified release when the gum is chewed.

A beverage dispenser and method for operating a beverage dispenser may include receiving a handshake request from a mobile device of a user. A communications link may be established with the mobile device. Responsive to receiving control data associated with a beverage order from the mobile device, a physical function may be caused to be performed by the beverage dispenser.

The sprayer of this invention is a crossbreed that combines the benefits of a pressurized air sprayer with the convenience a common bottle-top trigger sprayer. However, activating the trigger now has a reverse action causing the related pump to ingest air and the pump's traditional flow direction is now reversed. Air is passed into a reinforced reservoir bottle, near the top, similar to a pressurized air sprayer. Multiple hand-trigger-pulls are used to pre-pressurize air into the reservoir's chamber. A second conduit starting within and near the bottom of the reservoir utilizes air pressure to transfer product within the reservoir to a dispensing-valve. A means is provided to operate the dispensing-valve, which is able to dispense product continuously in-between compression strokes.

Disclosed are containers for wine and other beverages which will avoid the problem of cork taint, be easy to manufacture and use, and have consumer acceptance. In particular, disclosed is a container which is characterized by a body having an axial bore defining an opening for the container, a cylindrical stopper within the bore, and a screw cap for closing off the bore, wherein the cylindrical stopper is made of synthetic material.

The invention discloses a preparation technology of dried mulberry fruit/mulberry powder, and a product and a derivative of the dried mulberry fruit/mulberry powder. The processing method of the dried mulberry fruit/mulberry powder adopts a vacuum freeze drying technology, so that the fresh taste, the nutritional components, the color and the fragrance of mulberries are successfully retained, and the prepared dried mulberry fruit/mulberry powder can be either directly eaten or used as a raw material for food processing. The dried mulberry fruit can be further prepared into scented tea, and the prepared scented tea tastes sour and sweet, and has mellow flavor and flower fragrance; the dried mulberry powder is further prepared into cookies; the cookies taste crispy, has a special flavor, is low in fact content and sugar content and rich in nutrition, and is favorable for the health of people.

The invention provides both regular and low-carbohydrate versions of a dehydrated instant potato product comprising from about 2% to about 25% of at least one texturizing agent. Inclusion of the texturizing agent provides a mashed potato product having improved texture and increased consumer acceptance when compared to other types of dehydrated instant potato products.

Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating formation of content streams formed of content for distribution to content consumers. A request detector detects indications of demand for content. Selection of what content to be included in a content stream is based, in part, upon the demand for the content indicated by the request detector. Once selection of the content is made, the content streams are generated by retrieving the selected content. And, the content streams, once formed, are made available for distribution to the content consumers.

A mounting fixture for interconnecting at least two tubular members, the mounting fixture including:

• • at least one first connection section including a first connection aperture for receipt of a connector configured to secure a receiving element to the mounting fixture via a second connection aperture of the receiving element;
  • a mounting sleeve configured to be secured around a section of a tubular member, the mounting sleeve comprises at least two interconnectable fixture sections, each fixture section comprising a portion of the mounting fixture which includes a section of the mounting sleeve and a portion of the first connection section; and
  • at least one connecting arrangement for interconnecting adjacent fixture sections to form the mounting sleeve, each connecting arrangement being located on or within an inner side of each fixture section of the mounting sleeve to interconnect each fixture section to an adjoining fixture section at a location on or within an inner side of the mounting sleeve.
