Abstract: A rotating wheel is suspended with its lower part in heated fluid such as oil. Batches of food such as French fries are inserted in respective baskets. The baskets are connected at respective positions to the wheel, so that each basket is kept oriented at a respective fixed angle relative to the wheel. The wheel is rotated at a constant speed. As a result the baskets are moved from a loading region outside a heated fluid into a heated fluid and again out of the fluid. The rotation speed is such that the food is done when a basket in which the food is contained leaves the fluid. The wheel makes the baskets turn over relative to an axis of gravity while the baskets move through the fluid, so that the food is evenly heated. Preferably, the wheel contains a lid surface around its perimeter, against which the baskets are placed to close off an opening of the baskets. The lid surface is preferably composed of individually detachable segments to facilitate cleaning.

Abstract: According to the invention, in order to characterise an information signal having an amplitude-time course with local extreme values, the local extreme values of the information signal are determined (10), a local extreme value being defined by a moment and an amplitude. Surface information of highs or lows of the information signal is then determined (11) in the event of a unidimensional amplitude of the information signal, or volume information of lows or highs is determined (11) in the event of a two-dimensional amplitude of the information signal. A low or a high is defined by a temporal section of the information signal, said section extending from the moment of a local extreme value to a temporally adjacent value of the information signal, which has the same amplitude as the local extreme value. Surface or volume information of a plurality of highs and lows is characteristic of the information signal and enables a broader characterisation of the information signal, the construction of an information signal database or the identification of an information signal by means of an existing information signal database. Surface or volume information is both characteristic of the information signal and is resistant, due to its integral nature, to information signal variations in the form of overlays or distortion.

Abstract: Sunglasses are designed to be removably attached to existing eyeglasses using magnetic repelling force. The existing eyeglasses may have lenses to which are attached, on the outboard sides, temples that curve around from the plane of the eyeglass lenses and to which are pivotably attached ear pieces. On the inboard side of the lenses, a bridge interconnects them. The sunglasses have a bridge to which is attached, to either side, sunglass lenses. The attachment means consists of a rearwardly facing arm on the sunglasses to which a magnet is affixed, at each location, and magnets affixed on the eyeglasses in alignment with the magnets on the sunglasses. At each side of the eyeglasses, L-shaped brackets are provided that have C-shaped cross-sections. The magnets are arranged, on each side of the eyeglasses and sunglasses, respectively, so that when the sunglasses are placed into adjacency with the eyeglasses, like poles of the adjacent magnets face one another to create a repelling force therebetween. The repelling force forces the magnets carried on the sunglasses rearwardly away from the magnets carried on the eyeglass frames, and into a recess formed by the C-shaped cross-section of the L-shaped brackets. The repelling force between the magnet pairs retains the magnets carried by the sunglasses within the recesses in the L-shaped brackets to maintain the sunglasses mounted on the eyeglasses.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are described for detecting items within stores that are not intended for sale, so as to prevent a sale or re-sale of those items. The items are marked with identifiers, such as smart tags. Each of the items may be registered as being sold, perhaps within a data record associated with the item and the identifier, when the items are sold. As a result, the data record may later be checked, prior to a potential reselling of the item, in order to prevent maliciously manipulated items from being sold or re-sold. Similarly, if there is no correspondence between an item's detected identifier, if any, and one of the data records, then the item may be prevented from being sold or re-sold. An alarm signal may be provided if such a prevented sale is detected.
