Title: Supporting device for a bulk bag
Inventor: WALPOLE JEFFREY
IPC: B65B67/12
Filed: 2012-03-20
Abstract: A supporting device for a bag, more particularly a flexible bulk container 18 supports the bag 18 while it is being filled. Two pairs of panels are interlocked by interlocking each panel to both members from the other pair. A bag 18 is placed into the open-topped cuboid defined by the four interlocked-panels. Straps or handles 20 of the bag 18 are looped on to fixing points 19 defined on the first pair of the panels such that the open bag 18 is held at opposite sides of the cuboid. The bag 18 may filled with sand, rubble, soil or other material. Once filled, the supporting device is allowed to collapse to release the straps or handles 20 of the bag by lifting a panel belonging to the second pair of panels sufficiently to disengage its interlock with the first pair of panels. A slot 15 may be provided in order to allow planks (21, figure 4) to facilitate filling of the bag 18 by means of a wheelbarrow (23, figure 4).

Title: Improvements relating to unpredictable number generation
Inventor: ROBERTS DAVE
IPC: G06F21/64
Filed: 2013-07-02
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of generating an unpredictable or pseudo random number in a computing device. The method starts by the computing device, obtaining a plurality of data elements, performing a first one way function on an internal value P and the plurality of data elements to update the value P, and then performing a second one way function on the value P to obtain the unpredictable number. The data elements may vary with time or the activity of the computing device. One of the data elements may be a random number generated by the computing device. The one-way functions may be cryptographically secure functions. The unpredictable number may be used to authenticate a transaction between computing devices, by sending transaction data and the unpredictable number to second device, receiving back cryptographically signed data of the transaction data and the unpredictable number. The cryptographically signed data is then reviewed to determine that it incorporates the unpredictable number.

Title: A system and method for determining the effectiveness of marketing content
Inventor: WILLIAMS ROBERT KEITH
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2013-08-07
Abstract: A method of determining marketing effectiveness comprising matching recorded customer transactions 22 with access to marketing content 24 made by the same customer and assigning a value 23 to the marketing content based on the value of the transaction. A customer score is calculated for each item of marketing content by combining all assigned values for that item 26, a performance score being calculated based on the customer score and the number of times the marketing content has been accessed 29. The value assigned may be based on profit or total transaction value. Thus the performance value will include users who viewed the marketing material but did not make a purchase. A time period may be selected 21 for the analysis. Marketing items accessed but not matching any transaction may be excluded from consideration or given a performance score of zero. A user accessing marketing items and making purchases using different devices may be identified and the actions linked using behaviour analysis. Records of customer actions may be anonymous.
