Title: Typed application development
Inventor: STEELE JAMES
IPC: G06F21/51
Filed: 2007-12-31
Abstract: A method of developing a typed executable file comprises the steps of producing a file, determining if a stability point has been reached and then verifying the file. The stability point is reached when the file is considered immutable, trustworthy or when it is ready for transport to a device on which it is to be installed. The stability point may also include determining whether it can be included in a ROM image for a computing device. The computing device is mobile device, preferably a computer program. The verification step may be carried out by an installation program or as part of a security enforcement process. In another embodiment a list of files is maintained along with an indication of whether the file is typed or untyped. In a further embodiment the executable file is a related to an associated file in a remote store that contains typing information. In a yet further embodiment, the verification system operates on an executable file that has a data portion and a typing portion wherein the typing portion is used to verify the file and is held remotely from the data portion.

Title: Method and apparatus for dating a body sample
Inventor: AALDERS MAURICE
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2009-04-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus for dating a body sample, for example a sample of body fluid, involves taking a series of spectroscopic measurements of the sample, each measurement in the series including at least two predetermined positions in the spectrum. The positions have spectral characteristics corresponding to two or more predetermined substances present in the sample that have a time varying relationship with each other. The measurements in the series are spaced in time. A concentration of each of the substances in the sample is determined from each of the spectroscopic measurements at each point in time. A ratio of the concentrations of the substances at each point in time is determined and the ratios are analysed to estimate when the concentrations of the two substances were at a limit of their concentrations, thereby providing an indication of the age of the sample. The sample may be blood, which may be within the body (e.g. as a bruise), or external to the body. The sample may also be skin.

Paper felt.-Woody material is shredded and the fabrics are passed through a spray of adhesive and formed in air into a loose and flocculent layer. The resulting mat or fabric may be beaten to remove loose fibres, and it may be smoothed by passage between rollers. The adhesive may be a half-per-cent solution of starch so as to be absorbent, and it may contain substances to render the product antiseptic, aseptic, fire-resistant, or water-resistant. The fabric is stated to be applicable for use in making surgical dressings, cushions, upholstery, quilts, bedding, protective wrappers, heat-insulating material, &c. As shown, bleached wood pulp is shredded in a shredder 1 and falls into a conduit 2<1> from which it is delivered to a bin 3 provided with one or more screens 4 which sift the fibres on to a travelling endless conveyer 6, one or more sprayers 5 discharging adhesive on the fibres as they fall. The moistened fibres pass through a drying chamber 7 having an air inlet 7<1> and outlet 7" to a beater 9 and smoothing-rolls 11. Loose fibres detached by the beater are transferred through a conduit 10<1> to the bin 3. In the Specincation as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a), it is stated that fibrous material of any kind may be used in the manufacture of the fabric. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in fluid flow control valves
Inventor: STONE CHARLES HARRY
IPC: G05D7/01
Filed: 1959-03-25
Abstract: 939,661. Valves. BLACK AUTOMATIC CONTROLS Ltd. June 23, 1960 [March 25, 1959], No. 10296/59. Class 135. Pressure fluid supplied to an inlet 26 flows through the bore of a control sleeve 3, ports 24 and an annular groove 25, both in the wall of the sleeve 3, a recess 12a in a piston 12, ports 23 leading from the recess 12a, a chamber 19, and a fixed orifice 6 in a pipe 7, to an outlet chamber 20. So long as there is a flow of fluid through the orifice 6 there is a pressure difference in chambers 19, 20, and hence across the piston 12, which urges the latter against a loading spring 10, thereby altering the degree of throttling of the groove 25 by a bush extension 18 of the piston, and thus varying the pressure difference across the latter until a new equilibrium position of the piston obtains. Any change in demand for fluid from the outlet chamber 20 will result in further movement of the piston to maintain a constant flow at the outlet. The sleeve 3 may be manually adjusted. In various modifications, the piston may be replaced by a diaphragm or bellows; the valve outlet may be connected directly to the pipe 7 instead of the chamber 20. The sleeve 3 may be dispensed with and the ports 24 and groove 25 formed in the wall of the valve casing 11, the groove co-operating with a land of the piston; in this case the spring sits upon an adjustable abutment.
