Inventor: THURKOW ROELFINA WILLEMINA ANT
IPC: A23L29/219
Filed: 1999-07-26
Abstract: The invention relates to starch used in the baking-industry. Creams, (fruit-) fillings, toppings, glazes and other bakery products are often thickened by the inclusion of a certain amount of starch as binder, filling or thickening agent, for example providing gel-strength, viscosity, glaze, texture or creaminess to the cream or filling. Commonly used starches have insufficient stability to for example heat appled during baking. The invention provides a starch-containing filling or topping for a bakery product wherein said starch comprises a tuber or root starch containing less than about 5 % amylose and use of such a filling or topping for improving a bakery product. Furthermore, the invention provides a heat-stable starch and bakery products comprising a heat-stable starch.

Patent FR-840305-A (FR)
IPC: E05D3/10
Filed: 1938-07-06
Granted: 1939-04-24
Abstract: 516,223. Hinges. DETROIT HARVESTER CO. May 25, 1938, No. 15653. Convention date, Feb. 11. [Class 65 (ii)] A door hinge comprises an inclined stem portion 19 rotatably mounted in a socket 23 attached to the door post, a crank portion 20 integral with the stem 19 and a connector portion 21 extending from the crank portion and rotatably mounted in a bearing member 26 attached to the door. The stem 19 lies in a plane parallel with the face of the door, the member 20 lies in a plane inclined at an angle thereto, and the member 21 is slightly inclined to the plane containing the axes of the members 19 and 20. The sides of the socket 25 in the bearing member 26 taper towards the lower end of the socket to substantially the circumference of the arm 21 so that the outer end of the arm 21 may have a rocking movement with respect to the door. A washer 28 locates the arm 21 endwise in the bearing 26. On opening the door 10 the arm 20 will rotate about the pivot 19 and the arm 21 will reciprocate in the slot 25 and the angles at which the arms are set with respect to another will allow the door 10 to be swung clear of the body as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 6 and prevent the flange 12 fouling the door post 14. The member 21 is inclined to the plane containing the axes of the members 19 and 20 so that it does not protrude into the trim panel. A modification in which the connector portion is pivoted to the crank portion is shown in Fig. 14. The crank 20a is in the form of a web-shaped member with bearing knuckles 29 supporting a pivot pin to which is attached a sleeve 30 which is in turn connected to door by a screw threaded connector arm 32. The threads cause the arm 32 to move slightly inwards and outwards with respect to the door but also hold in against undesirable axial movement.
Patent GB-2360340-A (GB)
Title: Pipe cleaning nozzle
Inventor: BOCK JURGEN
IPC: B08B9/04
Filed: 2000-04-17
Abstract: A cleaning nozzle 1, has a front portion 2 which may optionally house a camera or other visual monitor, hose attachment means 6 and an internal chamber 5 with arcuate wall 7. Water entering the nozzle from an attached pressure hose is deflected by wall 7, into at least one set of five fluid passages 9. These passages terminate in outlets 8, the diameter of which may be modified by screw-in inserts 11. Each set of fluid passages spans a predetermined angular range, with the outlet closest to the centre of the nozzle projecting water substantially directly rearwards and the outlet closest to the circumference of the nozzle projecting water rearwards at an angle of about 30 degrees to the body of the nozzle. Thus the innermost outlets are primarily involved in propelling the nozzle through a pipe system to be cleaned, whereas the outermost outlets are primarily concerned with cleaning the sides of the pipework.

Title: Tree based search method
Inventor: BASS BRIAN M
IPC: H04L45/74
Filed: 2001-04-05
Abstract: A method of performing a search based upon a search criterion using a tree is proposed. In use an input is read as a search key and the most significant bits are used as an index to a search table representing a plurality of search nodes. Each non empty entry in the search table will contain a pointer to the next branch of the tree. The search table may use a hash function to generate an index key. A determination is then made if the pointer points to a leaf or branch of the tree. If the pointer is to a branch the procedure is repeated until a leaf object is identified and returned to the calling application. In no entry is found that matches the search a no match is returned. The search criterion may be a longest prefix match in which instance the method is executed to find the position of the distinguishing bit.

Title: Flowmeter
Inventor: JIN WU
IPC: G01F1/58
Filed: 2001-04-25
Abstract: A flowmeter comprises means for receiving fluid flow from a mains supply through an inlet (14) and supplying the flow to a first conveying means (18) to direct the fluid to a flow measurement duct (20), the direction of flow being reversed in a portion (28) of the conveying means.

Patent GB-2379276-A (GB)
Title: Impact testing apparatus
Inventor: OSBORNE NICHOLAS CLIVE
IPC: G01N3/317
Filed: 2001-10-24
Abstract: The impact material testing apparatus 10 includes an impact carriage 14 which is engaged with guide rails. The guide rails are parallel and spaced apart laterally and extend longitudinally along the apparatus. The apparatus 10 is horizontal and the impact carriage 14 is driven solely by a driving carriage 36 which is driven by a linear motor 38. In use, the impact carriage 14 is driven towards the specimen 11 by the driving carriage 36 pushing the impact carriage 14. Prior to impacting the specimen 11 the driving carriage 36 is rapidly decelerated to a stop and is then quickly reversed to a position which is not accessible to the impact carriage 14. This area is not accessible to the impact carriage 14 as a result of stops 35. Accordingly, if the impact carriage 14 rebounds from the specimen 11, the impact carriage 14 will not be able to reach the driving carriage 36 and therefore prevents damage to the driving means.

Title: Backing board for a prefabricated wall panel
Inventor: FIFIELD JOHN
IPC: B28B1/00
Filed: 2002-07-22
Abstract: A prefabricated wall panel has a plurality of slips 14 bonded to a backing board 10. The backing board is adapted to cooperate with the pointing 16 laid between the edges of the bricks, in such a way that the pointing is secured to the backing board by mechanical fixing, instead of just adhesive fixing, and thus the slips are more securely fixed. The backing board may comprise parallel strip members which may be continuous (36, Fig 7) or interrupted 22. These strip members serve to receive the pointing and also act as locating means to locate the slips on the backing boards. The interrupted strip members 22 may be provided with a dovetail shaped undercut opening 24 and also holes 34 in the backing board, to receive the pointing 16. The continuous strip (36, Fig 7) may also comprise holes (38, Fig 7) or alternatively a protruding looped wire (40, Fig 8) or staples (44, Fig 10).
