Abstract: Here is a new method producing a bottle preform (11) in an injection mould. A set quantity of first plastic is injected into the mould cavity. Then a set quantity of recycled material is injected, to form an annular core within the first material. The new aspect of the method is parallel injection of recycled material together with a fraction of first material. Also claimed is the preform for blowing a container, e.g. a bottle. It includes the container neck region (13), a body section (16) and a base (17), together with the annular core of recycled plastic and internal and external layers of another plastic. A novel feature is the thickness of the innermost layer, which is a multiple of the outer layer thickness.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to novel genetic sequences which encode fatty acid epoxygenase enzymes. In particular, the present invention relates to genetic sequences which encode fatty acid DELTA12-epoxygenase enzymes comprising mixed function monooxygenase enzymes. More preferably, the present invention provides cDNA sequences which encode plant fatty acid epoxygenases, in particular the Crepis palaestina DELTA12-epoxygenase and homologues, analogues and derivatives thereof. The genetic sequences of the present invention provide the means by which fatty acid metabolism may be altered or manipulated in organisms such as yeasts, moulds, bacteria, insects, birds, mammals and plants, in particular to convert unsaturated fatty acids to epoxygenated fatty acids therein. The invention extends to genetically modified oil-accumulating organisms transformed with the subject genetic sequences and to the oils derived therefrom. The oils thus produced provide the means for the cost-effective raw materials for use in the efficient production of coatings, resins, glues, plastics, surfactants and lubricants, amongst others.

Abstract: An optical scope for viewing a feature at an inaccessible location is disclosed. The scope (10) consists of a tube (11) having a distal end which is insertable in use into an inaccessible location and a proximal end connected to a housing (30). The tube contains an optical system (23, 31) for gathering an image of a feature and relaying the image to a viewing means. The tube also contains means (34) to direct a laser beam to a first reference point in the distal end; a first reflector (17) mounted in the distal end for rotation about the first reference point and being operable to change the direction of the laser beam so as to direct the beam out of the scope to a target feature; a second reflector (15) mounted in the distal end for rotation about a second reference point and being operable to change the direction of a reference axis intersecting the second reference point so as to cause the axis to intersect the laser beam at a target feature. Finally, the scope (10) includes control means (37, 40) actuable at the proximal end of the scope to rotate the first and second reflectors about the first and second reference points, position sensing means (43) to detect movement of the first and second reflectors and antibacklash means (44, 45, 46) associated with the control means.

Abstract: A method of making an absorbent device that is worn interlabially by female wearers for catamenial purposes, incontinence protection, or both, is disclosed. The method involves at least partially enclosing a continuous length of absorbent material in a cover material. The cover material is positioned so that it lies on opposite sides of the length of absorbent material. The absorbent material is then optionally shaped so that along its length there are regions of greater and lesser thickness on alternating sides of the longitudinal axis of the absorbent material. In one embodiment, the shaping is accomplished by bonding a first portion of the cover material to a second portion of the cover material on the opposite side of the absorbent material so that the bonding penetrates through the absorbent material. A generally transverse direction cut is made across the length of absorbent material which alternates longitudinally across the length of absorbent material to provide the device with shaped ends. The method produces a plurality of interlabial devices having an asymmetrical shape about a longitudinal axis and shaped end with a minimum of waste therebetween.

Abstract: A method and mechanism to enforce reduced access via restricted access tokens. Restricted access tokens are based on an existing token, and have less access than that existing token. A process is associated with a restricted token, and when the restricted process attempts to perform an action on a resource, a security mechanism compares the access token information with security information associated with the resource to grant or deny access. Application programs may have restriction information stored in association therewith, such that when launched, a restricted token is created for that application based on the restriction information thereby automatically reducing that application's access. Applications may be divided into different access levels such as privileged and non-privileged portions, thereby automatically restricting the actions a user can perform via that application. Also, the system may enforce running with reduced access by running user processes with a restricted token, and then requiring a definite action by the user to specifically override actions that are restricted by temporarily running with the user's normal token.
