Computer systems, devices, and associated methods of verifying reliability of instructions for a device are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes identifying a reliability requirement associated with instructions for a device and receiving, from a user, an assertion in relation to the reliability requirement. The method includes generating a cryptographic assertion tracer (CAT) based at least in part on the received assertion. The method includes receiving assertion-related instructions in association with the CAT and generating a first code verification encrypted reproducible record based at least in part on the CAT and the received assertion-related instructions. The method then includes reporting that the reliability requirement is addressed.

Verification of the reliability of software and devices against assertions and guarantees

The invention relates to a continuous process for the preparation of a flavor or fragrance delivery system, wherein the presence of two heat exchangers operating respectively an evaporation and cooling step, allow to optimize the quality and yield of the final product.

Continuous process for the incorporation of a flavor or fragrance ingredient or composition into a carbohydrate matrix

The invention relates to a granular delivery system based on a matrix combining at least a carbohydrate material with from 1 to 7% of prehydrated agar agar. The system disclosed is particularly stable in aqueous environments and is capable of providing the controlled release of an active flavoring or perfuming ingredient there-encapsulated.

Encapsulated flavor and/or fragrance composition

The invention relates to a spray-dried composition comprising an active ingredient dispersed in a carrier comprising a combination of a wall-forming carbohydrate material with from 1 to 30% by weight of agar agar relative to the dried weight of the composition. The composition of the invention provides advantageous behavior in an aqueous environment wherein the mobility of the active agent is restricted in the gelled carrier, thus preventing the release of the agent unless shear of heat are applied. Another feature of the invention is a process for the preparation the spray-dried composition.

Spray-dried compositions and method for their preparation

The present invention relates to novel solid systems for the delivery of aroma chemicals and flavoring ingredients, including an extrusion formed matrix containing an effective amount of certain specific hydrophilic aroma materials. These systems are useful for flavoring consumer products. An extrusion of solid Furaneol&reg; compound and derivatives that have a content of up to 40% by weight of Furaneol&reg; compound are disclosed.
