Title: Chute with smooth and grooved sections
Inventor: DEEFHOLTS BENEDICT MARK MURRAY
IPC: B07C5/02
Filed: 2004-07-27
Abstract: A chute for an inspection and sorting apparatus is disclosed. It comprises two sections; a first, upper section (6) and a lower, grooved section (2). The first section has a smooth, normally polished surface which allows product pieces thereon to move laterally as well as downwards. In the lower section (2) product pieces are restricted in their lateral movement by the grooves (12) and move into alignment with the grooves before being discharged into an inspection zone of the apparatus. If the apparatus is for inspection only, then the product pieces continue to a collection receptacle. If the apparatus is for sorting, then an ejector is included which acts in response to signals from an inspection station to eject selected pieces from the product stream. Those are deflected into a reject receptacle while the remainder proceed into a collection receptacle.

Title: Item display
Inventor: BEARDOW PAUL ROWLAND
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2003-03-26
Abstract: A mobile telephone system (10, 12, 14, 18, 20) allows a mobile telephone (10, 20) to be used for viewing and selecting goods for sale. The mobile telephone (10) has a screen with a display area (28) comprising a control area (30) and control "buttons", and a background zone (38) where images of items are sent from a server (18) to be displayed, in background profile, in display slots (40A, 40B, 40C), individual items being selected when at a selection point (50) to be displayed in a foreground zone (44) attended by a descriptive card (52). Foreground zone (44) views can be of a different view of a selected item (54) and can be from different perspectives and distances. Images can be provided to the mobile telephone (10) in the form of photographs, or as sets of image parts which can be assembled to make a complete image. The operating software of the mobile telephone (10) treats all types of images as equal entities. A monitor monitors the type of items or goods that are being viewed, finds the direction of alteration of the nature of items viewed, and adjusts the items in the next batch to be viewed to reflect the direction of thematic change.

Title: Interrupting print jobs at a boundary location
Inventor: GREEN BRETT A
IPC: G06F3/12
Filed: 2004-09-01
Abstract: Controlling print jobs in a printing device (e.g. printer, copier, facsimile machine) where the print jobs are received in a print queue for sequential printing. The current print job is interrupted at a boundary location (e.g. page boundary) S40 in response to a first signal received at the printing device, which may be caused by a user operating a control. An indicator S50 for the interrupted print job is stored. Identifiers of the print jobs in the print queue are stored S60 in a memory of the printing device. Another print job in the print queue is selected by the user, S70, by selecting a corresponding identifier, and a printing operation S90 is performed on the selected print job. Upon completion, the user can either select another print job in the queue, S100, or de-select the print interrupt condition S110 which causes the interrupted print job to resume from the next boundary, S130.

Title: Validating electronic voting by analysing sampled frames of a user interface
Inventor: WATSON SCOTT JAMES
IPC: H04N1/32
Filed: 2004-10-04
Abstract: A system for validating electronic voting made via computer apparatus comprises a device configured to connect to the computer apparatus and sample and store data output by the computer apparatus. A separate processing device is configured to connect with the device and analyse the stored data to determine the validity of the voting. The electronic voting is performed via a user interface and the device is configured to sample frames 401-406 of the video signal corresponding to the user interface. The sampled frames are embedded with and identification tag and stored in a memory. The identification tag characterises the computer apparatus. The stored data is analysed by identifying significant regions (703, fig.7) within identified significant frames 404, and analysing the significant regions to extract data representative of user interaction with the user interface.

Title: Deciphering encapsulated and enciphered UDP datagrams
Inventor: LOUGHRAN KEVIN
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2005-02-01
Abstract: The deciphering and verification of the checksum of enciphered UDP datagrams, particularly those which enclose a tunnelling protocol such as L2TP, is achieved by the provision of a checksum verifier in parallel with a decipher block. Checksum logic creates a pseudo UDP header needed for checksum verification using fields that would occur at the start of the packet. The first part of the packet to be deciphered is the UDP header and checksum logic can latch the checksum field into a local register. As the rest of the packet is deciphered the checksum verifier processes the data at the same time. Eventually the checksum logic will acquire a complete checksum which can be compared with the checksum that had been previously latched, so as to verify the checksum.

Title: Stereoisomerically enriched 2-amino-4-[3-aminocarbonyl-bicyclohept-5-en-2-ylamino]-pyrimidine inhibitors of Aurora kinases for treating proliferative diseases
Inventor: ARGADE ANKUSH
IPC: A61K31/506
Filed: 2005-11-11
Abstract: There is provided a compound according to structural formula (I): <EMI ID=1.1 HE=38 WI=93 LX=478 LY=606 TI=CF> <PC>including prodrugs, salts, hydrates, solvates and N-oxides thereof, that is enriched in the corresponding specific enantiomer of structural formula (Ia): <EMI ID=1.2 HE=51 WI=94 LX=535 LY=1267 TI=CF> <PC>wherein: each R<1> R<2> and R<3> are independently hydrogen or a substituent as defined herein; R<5> is hydrogen, halo, fluoro, - CN, - NO2, -C (O) OR<a> or - CF3 ; each R is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C 1-6 optionally unsaturated alkyl or cycloalkyl. Such compounds, especially those of formula (IA), inhibit proliferation of cells, the activity of an Aurora kinase and an Aurora kinase- medicated process, both in vitro and in vivo. They may be used to treat an Aurora kinase- medicated disease, eg a proliferative disease such as cancer. As used herein, a compound is "enriched" in a particular diastereomer when that diastereomer is present in excess over any other diastereomer present in the compound. Thus a racemic mixture is "enriched" in a specified enantiomer when that enantiomer constitutes greater than 50 % of the mixture.

Title: Cranial Orthosis For Preventing Positional Plagiocephaly In Infants
Inventor: SKLAR FREDERICK
IPC: A61F5/00
Filed: 2004-06-18
Abstract: A cranial orthosis (10) is contoured to match the curvature of an infant's cranial vault (22) to provide protection against the acquisition of postural cranial deformities (F) as a result of the infant's sleeping in the supine position. The orthosis is a molded plastic appliance (10) in the form of a shell, headband or helmet having interior surfaces that are smoothly contoured to conform in shape to surface curvature of the occipital (24), temporal (26), parietal (28) and frontal (30) bone areas of a healthy human infant having normal cranium size, shape and symmetry. The cavity (44) of the orthosis (10) forms a protective pocket that is sized to provide a close, non-interfering fit of the conformed interior surfaces (42) in facing relation to the infant's cranial areas, thereby allowing the infant's head weight forces to spread substantially uniformly across one or more of the conformed interior surfaces while the infant is resting on a sleep surface in the supine position.

Title: Ejection mechanism for a beverage preparation machine
Inventor: SAXTON PAUL
IPC: A47J31/40
Filed: 2007-05-18
Abstract: The delivery head 3 of a beverage preparation machine consists of a lower part or base 80, an upper mechanism 90 and a cartridge guide 110. The upper mechanism has a clamping member 100 which is sequentially movable relative to the base between open, clamping and ejection positions. In use, the delivery head is opened to allow insertion of a cartridge. Closure of the delivery head causes the cartridge guide 110 and the cartridge to slide rearwardly into a dispensing position where a piercer unit 121 pierces the cartridge forming an inlet and an outlet and water is channelled through the cartridge. After dispensing the beverage the piercer unit is retracted and the clamping member moves rearwardly relative to the base with the cartridge to the ejection position over the ejection chute 85. The delivery head maintains some clamping force on the cartridge as it moves to the ejection position.
