"Size-dependent enhancement in salt perception: Spraying approaches to
reduce sodium content in foods."
Available online 02 October 2020
Deals with the use of Spray Drying, SD, and Electrostatic Drying, ED. as means of controlling the size of salt particles. A carrier, e.g Maltodextrin, is not used. Also mentions measurements of adherence of product to a substrate, Potato Chips. Carr index and Hausner ratio.
MicroSalt's methods in particular related to crystal size appear to be an area of active research. In particular the authors note a significant increase in adhesion for particles produced by SD and ED, very cohesive.
Again this does not use a carrier so it is difficult to do a like for like comparison. The authors give a salt equivalent for product on substrate, Potato Chip, with the control, presumably untreated salt, being at a level of 1.5% w/w whilst achieving 2-3 times more saltiness, perception thereof, for SD at 0.62% w/w and ED at 0.52% w/w.
MicroSalt's raw product, salt on carrier, is suggested to achieve a 50% equivalent salt content but this will be before application to a substrate, Potato Chip, which will represent much less product and therefore salt equivalent. The Authors product appears to achieve increased saltiness at a 30% equivalent salt content.
If you consider that the control at 1.5% w/w were to be indicative of standard flavouring practice then the results achieved by the authors would seem to be equivalent to those achieved by MicroSalt if not better.
The methods used by the authors do not appear infringe on any Patents, filed or granted, to MicroSalt in that they do not use a carrier.
Of course that carrier may be intrinsic to the overall manufacturing process in terms of product transport and flow during manufacture. Again MicroSalt make much of the adhesion of their product to the substrate and claims of reduced contamination.
However the authors also note significant gains at least in respect of adhesion which, when including electrostatic application, might be expected to match the claims made by MicroSalt.
The basic bottom line is that this is an active area of research with numerous methods under investigation to, in particular, reduce the size of salt crystals applied to a product in order to enhance perceived saltiness. As a result there is a possibility that MicroSalt may be heavily reliant on being first to market as others play catch up.

Maybe someone can tell the CFO that the correct term is Spray Dryers rather than Dry Sprayers.
"Quite a lengthy (and technical) srticle.
I don't know if the refusal by the FCC of the request by SpaceX has any impact on the collaboration being contemplated by Wyld Networks & SpaceX.

If you can poke about in your Internet Router then on the Wi-Fi page you will find similar things going on. There are various channels and the router negotiates with other routers, your neighbours and other in range to keep out of each others way.
Your WiFi sits in the 2.4/5MHz bands and those bands are divided into channels that things hop about in in a way that let's them live together.
Starlink/SpaceX seems to be claiming that they can do that in bands assigned to other people and the other people have probably not or No!. They paid for it. FCC does not believe SpaceX can do what they are saying without proving it or if ever. SpaceX needs more Spectrum for their satellites to operate so it looks like they are trying to rob it from others.
Might smell like desperation.
Does Wyld help? Depends on what Wyld is doing and how they are doing it but if they are Meshing Sattelites then, depending on many other factors, in as much as they claim their solution reduces the number of satellites needed to support a particular network the opposite side of the coin *might* be that they maximise the use of the available Spectrum. That Spectrum being the one SpaceX already has access to.
If, you would have to ask Wyld and hope you get a straight answer, but if SpaceX is Spectrum limited it seems possible that Wyld's offering will be of use to them. Of course SpaceX might just be poking at all of the options because they are greedy and wish to grow but Wyld will possibly be one of those options.

Call me a know nothing idiot who only had a few pennies in this, presently fewer pennies than they originally were and is going to sit and suck it. Are they not settling old debts for shares with George doing the same and therefore should us daydreamers believe that the company has turned the corner with the deb tholders taking payment in shares in the expectation that they are going to turn a tidy profit. Or was that a slightly desperate ramp? I shall only be reading posts that cheer me up.

No you do not have a South African green barcoded ID document or smart card?
Enter a random many digit number.
Fill in some more random stuff.
It looks like you will be able to register and find fuller details than some random on twitter has provided.
However K2022/42100/07 indicates the company was registered back in 2022 so might not be something to get excited over.
Like when you have an alien space ship rolling towards you you do not HODL away from it along its trajectory. You exit left or right and bank your profit.
I am amazed that someone has not used this strategy to own the company.
"Pretty sure you don't get extra for solving the block. The thinking being the luck evens out over time."
What's the point with Pools then? Without Method B you solve a block every 50 years. With Method B you solve one every 20 years and then you get to share it with people not using Method B.
I think I can take a guess...

It makes good PR for ignorant mugs who are incapable of rational thought and wish to impose their ignorance on others.
Deserves it own thread. Hat Tip to Brew.
"So with a pool you get rewarded with a proportion on the BTC mined by the pool, typically based on your hash rate contribution."
It might be interesting to know what the breakdown is but I think you might get extra for solving the block.
However... Again I go back to my supposition that QBT have been forced to mine in a pool because they have had to use a customised version of CGminer, because it is too hard for the QBT gurus to work out, that the author has tied to that pool in order to support their development costs. Is anyone going to be interested in using it on release when they find out it has been poisoned by a company that is not Community Centric?
I am going to take a guess and suggest that, if they had any sense, QBT would have first approached the originators of CGminer and offered them options, QBT does not pay hard cash, and, having got /dev/nulled, worked their way down the list until they found a mug who would tell them the time of day according to a stopped clock and later on QBT will suffer a rug pull.
The RNS/PRN was not...
"QBT, the leading originator of doing clever stuff much faster on The Block, are pleased to announce a partnership with Jeff Garzik the originator of CPUMiner"
What is it with QBT having access to multiple highly qualified experts in the tech but none of them wanting to announce their association with the company?
Waking up one morning and realising you're in a dead end job with a dead end company working for options you will never convert and just to top it off your contribution to society feeds the fantasies of a bunch of rabid crypto zoomers. Perhaps the monastery wasn't such a bad idea after all.
We shall now be testing our Drag Racer with various levels of meth as determined by our three separate expert groups in search of peak performance. Apparently there is also something called Nitro and we will be filing a patent on that as soon as we have reverse engineered our drag car. We are now in advanced negotiations with the top ten drag car operators in order to source a drag car and will be performing testing of our flange bracket as soon as we have completed design of the spanners required to fit it. Please be patient as we work out how to reverse engineer Whitworth.
