Title: Packaged baked food item and method
Inventor: BLAKE JOHN
IPC: B65D81/34
Filed: 2013-08-07
Abstract: A film 4 is laid over a tray 1 containing moulds 2 and a portion of dough 5 is deposited onto the film over each mould. The dough is baked to form an item having a face moulded by the inner surface of the mould and with the film conformed to it. A second film (6) is extended over the first film and the films are attached to each other to at least partially enclose the baked food item between the first and second films as a package. The first film may be pre-formed to the shape of the moulds prior to depositing the dough and baking. The second film may be applied before or after baking. The method provides a means to package baked items, with the package mimicking the moulded shape of the underlying item. The method reduces the need for resurfacing of baking trays with non-stick layers.

Title: Device and method for producing can bodies, comprising a cutting device
Inventor: BLEI KLAUS
IPC: B21D24/16
Filed: 2012-07-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device (10) for producing a can body (11) which has a can base (13) and a can wall (14) that integrally adjoins the base. The can body (11) is shaped by means of a wall ironing process starting with a blank (12). For this purpose, a drawing punch (15) moves the blank (12) through a wall ironing container (34) from an opening (35) to an exit (36). After the wall ironing process, the edge (R) of the can body (11) which is shaped in the aforementioned manner, said edge lying opposite the can base (13), is separated using a cutting device (45). The cutting device (45) has a force generating unit (46) arranged adjacent to the exit (36) and at least one cutting edge (26, 27) which can be arranged on the drawing punch (15) in particular. The force generating unit (46) generates a force (F) onto the can wall (14) edge (R) to be separated, whereby the edge is sheared off on the at least one cutting edge (26, 27). The can body (11) is located on the drawing punch (15) while the edge (R) is being separated. Subsequently, the can body (11) which is shaped by means of the wall ironing process and which is provided with a flat can wall edge is removed from the drawing punch (15).

IPC: H04N1/32
Filed: 2014-03-19
Abstract: Method of altering a document to encode data steganographically within it so that the encoded data from a rendered form of that document is machine readable yet substantially imperceptible to humans. Data to be steganographically encoded is mapped to a set of document alteration instructions which 22, when carried out, alter geometrical features of the document to steganographically encode data therein 23. Data is decoded by analysing characteristics of such geometrical features. Carrying out the document alteration instructions may involve altering the parameter values associated with and defining the geometrical characteristics of the geometrical features 25. The alterations to the geometrical features may include translation of scaling and rotation where the geometrical features may be baselines, meanlines, cap height, character size etc. Part of the data to be encoded may be treated which may involve encrypting it. The altered document may be treated with a degradation process to test the resistance of the encoded data to corruption.

Abstract: A method of estimating a quantity of liquid fuel in a fuel tank of an aircraft. A surface of the fuel is illuminated with light which is reflected or scattered by the surface of the fuel onto an array of sensors 21. The light travels to and from the surface of the fuel via a measurement path 8 containing a transmission medium. A measured time of flight is made at each sensor for the light travelling via the measurement path to that sensor. At least one of the sensors is illuminated with light via a reference path (33, Fig. 4) containing a transmission medium with the same refractive index as that in the measurement path, the reference path having a known length (R, Fig. 4) which does not vary with the quantity of the fuel. A reference time of flight of the light travelling via the reference path to at least one of the sensors is measured. The quantity of the fuel in the fuel tank is estimated in accordance with the measured times of flight, the reference time of flight and the known reference distance.

Title: Electrical wiring accessory with indicator lamp
Inventor: Anthony Bickerdike
IPC: H01R13/717
Filed: 2016-02-16
Abstract: A mains wiring accessory comprising an indicator lamp 14 provided with an isolator 16 operable to block applied Direct Current (DC) Voltage from causing a current to flow through the indicator lamp. The isolator and indicator lamp may be connected between a switched live conductor 18 and a neutral conductor 20. The isolator may be a high-pass filter which allows DC resistance testing of the mains wiring accessory, such as testing the insulation performance. The high pass filter may comprise a series capacitor (C, figure 2). The high-pass filter may be replaced by other types of isolator, such as an electrically operated mechanical switch- a relay, or a low-pass filter. The indicator lamp may be a neon bulb or an LED. The isolator allows AC current to flow through the indicator lamp, indicating the status of the wiring accessory, but does not allow DC current to flow through the indicator lamp. By blocking DC current through the light the isolator means that the light does not carry any current when a high DC voltage is applied to test the insulation, which may cause incorrect readings.
