A optical communication system including a source device and an endpoint device. The source device include an array of laser diodes and is configured to drive the laser diodes to project a sequence of patterns into the field of view of the source device to define a set of serially-projected codes, each of which isolated to one respective angular division of the field of view of the source device. The endpoint device receives a serially-projected code from the source device which varies based which angular division of the field of view of the source device is occupied by the endpoint device.

The present disclosure discloses a microwave processing method for food made of flour and rice fermented with sourdough and belongs to the technical field of food processing. It comprises: adding a sourdough to the raw material to prepare a steamed cake batter; fermenting the batter under the dielectric constant of 20.sup.˜34, the loss factor of 6.3.sup.˜9.0, the moisture content of 45.sup.˜55% and the water activity of 0.920.sup.˜0.980; and using microwave heating to obtain the microwave-steamed cake. Due to the regulating effect of the sourdough fermentation on the dielectric properties of the food material, it solves the problems of hard core, textual firmness and toughness, dryness and weak flavor caused by fast and uneven microwave heating without adding food additives; meanwhile, the sourdough fermentation process is optimized and the DY and additive amount of the sourdough are controlled to obtain the microwave-steamed cake with larger specific volume, lower hardness, more fine and uniform pores and better taste.

Provided is an edible material having an exceptional sweetness-enhancing effect. This method for producing an oil and fat composition is characterized in comprising a step for adding a carotenoid to an edible oil and fat, and a step for decomposing the carotenoid in the edible oil and fat. The carotenoid is preferably one or more selected from the group consisting of β-carotene, α-carotene, retinol, lutein, canthaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, bixin, norbixin, astaxanthin, zeaxanthin, fucoxanthin, violaxanthin, lycopene, crocin, crocetin, and capsanthin.

The present invention primarily relates to novel mixtures with stabilizing properties, particularly for avoiding, reducing or delaying the formation of sensorially undesired flavours and/or tastes in oxidative degradation processes or autoxidative processes or reducing, avoiding or delaying oxidative processes in one or more oxidation-sensitive compounds, particularly autoxidative processes, their use in specific preparations as well as novel preparations and methods of producing such preparations. Additionally, herein described are methods for decreasing, avoiding or delaying the formation of sensorially undesired flavours and/or tastes in oxidative degradation processes or autoxidative processes or for decreasing, avoiding or delaying oxidative processes in one or more oxidation-sensitive compounds, particularly autoxidative processes.
