Title: A continuous method of producing cooked pork rinds
Inventor: DAVID WILLIAM OPENSHAW
IPC: A23L13/20
Filed: 2020-01-08
Abstract: A continuous method of producing cooked pork rind comprising providing a cooking oil at a first temperature (140-155⁰C), introducing raw pork rind to the oil and allowing the temperature of the oil to decrease to a second temperature (90-100⁰C), before then increasing the temperature of the oil, to about 150⁰C and cooking the pork rind within the cooking oil. A continuous stream of pork rinds is maintained during the method. A cooked pork rind obtainable by the continuous method and a system for performing the continuous method are also described. Preferably, the oil temperature is maintained by circulating the oil between the frying vessel and a heating element and this circulation is prevented to decrease the temperature. Preferably the raw pork rind is frozen and fed into the vessel on a fryer conveyor belt and the cooked pork rind is fully immersed in the cooking oil, which may be a pork-based oil. On removal from the oil, preferably the cooked rind is cooled under a stream of air.

Title: A device and method of authenticating a component against reference data
Inventor: VADIM SOLOVIEV
IPC: G06T7/37
Filed: 2021-09-07
Abstract: It is known to embed fiduciary markers in a composite component, and to image said component with x-rays to determine the spatial location of the fiduciary markers. However, comparing two such "point cloud patterns" to determine whether they correspond is not a simple exercise; in particular, due to the nature of image reconstruction with limited angle acquisition in digital tomosynthesis, depths of fiduciary markers are resolved only approximately, while lateral resolution is usually significantly higher. The present invention provides a device and method of authenticating a component against reference data by choosing a starting point rotation centre 0’ and comparing the distances to its nearest neighbours 1’, 2’, 3’ with those from a reference dataset 0,1,2,3 and then calculating a rotation matrix based on this comparison. In this way, composite components can be tracked by their unique 'fingerprint' such that they can be validated prior to use.

Title: A controller for an electromagnetic field detector
Inventor: FRASER BURTON
IPC: G01R29/08
Filed: 2022-02-16
Abstract: An electromagnetic field detector 20 transmits a probe signal from a probe laser 23 in first and second paths to an optical receiver 29, the first path passing through a vapour cell 27. A coupling signal from a coupling laser 25 overlaps the probe beam in the vapour cell. An Electromagnetic Induced Transparency (EIT) effect is produced in the vapour cell, such that an incident electromagnetic field causes a change in refractive index and an optical path length difference between the first and second paths. The field is detectable at the receiver as a change in intensity of the combined first and second paths of the probe signal caused by the change in path length. A first phase shift is applied to the second path by a phase shift controller 30 to cause a variation in the change in intensity of the combined paths. A second phase shift, to increase the change in intensity, is determined from the variation caused by the first phase shift. The second phase shift is then applied to the second probe signal path.

For respective time-steps of the control sequence, an optimal path of switching states is derived over a window of the time-steps, optimising a cost function representing a deviation of an electrical state of the pulse system predicted by a discrete-time model from the target profile over the window. The switching state of the determined path at the respective time-step is selected for the control sequence. Other applications include pulse power systems for particle accelerators, fusion reactors and magnetic launch systems.
