Title: A hydrogen generating and oxygen absorbing device for food packaging
Inventor: PARKER NIGEL
IPC: A23L3/3436
Filed: 2012-08-17
Abstract: A hydrogen generating and palladium catalysed, oxygen absorbing device for food packaging inclusion comprises a first chamber and a second chamber defined by laminar layers C, E that are impermeable to water in the liquid phase but permeable to water vapour and gases. The first chamber contains a fill formulation D, which when activated by water vapour, generates hydrogen, preferably the formulation is a metal hydride. The second chamber contains a substrate carrying a deposit of finely divided palladium F for catalysing reaction between the generated hydrogen and atmospheric oxygen from the container. The laminar layers C, E are preferably a bi-laminar layer formed from a polymer membrane such as polyethylene terephthalate or polyamide supported on high density polyethylene. The device may be provided in the form of a disc, self adhesive label or sachet to allow the establishment and maintenance of an oxygen free atmosphere within the headspace of bottles, cans, sachets or cartons of aqueous liquid foods and beverages.
Patent GB-2495805-A (GB)
Title: Laser spot control in MALDI mass spectrometers
Inventor: HOLLE ARMIN
IPC: H01J49/16
Filed: 2012-09-05
Abstract: The invention relates to mass spectrometers in which samples on a moveable support plate 13 are ionized by matrix-assisted laser desorption (MALDI), and provides positional control of laser spots via a system of rotatable mirrors 7 & 8 to relieve strain on the support plate motion drive, which by its nature is not able to follow a sufficiently fast movement from sample to sample for a fast sequence of analyses. If the spot position is finely adjusted by the mirror system and made to follow the movement of the sample support plate 13, then the intermittent movement of the sample support 13 can be replaced with a continuous uniform motion. Galvo-mirrors 7 & 8 with low inertia are preferably used between the beam generator 3 and a Kepler telescope 9 in the housing of the laser. The positional control can also be used for automatic adjustment of MALDI time-of-flight mass spectrometers, at least if the ion-optical elements, such as the reflector 19 and detector 20, are equipped with movement devices.

Title: Fire damper arrangement
Inventor: BRUNT SYDNEY ANDREW
IPC: A62C2/12
Filed: 2012-11-16
Abstract: A fire damper arrangement is disclosed in which a circular fire damper 10 is coupled to square or rectangular ducting using converter pieces 14 at each side of the fire damper. The fire damper comprises a single rotary damper blade (5, figure 1) within a cylindrical housing (1, figure 1), the damper blade being movable between open and closed positions. In one embodiment, the damper blade is biased towards the closed position, and is held open by a fusible retention member. When the retention member experiences temperatures above a predetermined threshold, the retention member melts, thus releasing the damper blade, which is then urged to the closed position. In an alternative embodiment, the damper blade is controlled by a motor arrangement 12, said motor driving the damper blade between open and closed positions in response to a detected temperature. The converter pieces are arranged for converting the round cross-section of the fire damper housing to a square or rectangular cross-section ducting.

Title: Profiling cyber threats detected in a target environment and automatically generating one or more rule bases for an expert system usable to profile cyber
Inventor: LAIDLAW STUART
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2013-12-06
Abstract: A computer implemented method of profiling cyber threats detected in a target environment, comprising: receiving, from a Security Information and Event Manager (SIEM) monitoring the target environment, alerts triggered by a detected potential cyber threat 801, and, for each alert:retrieving captured packet data related to the alert 802; extracting data pertaining to a set of attributes from captured packet data triggering the alert 803; applying fuzzy logic 804 to data pertaining to one or more of the attributes to determine values 705 for one or more output variables indicative of a level of an aspect of risk attributable to the cyber threat. In this manner fuzzy logic is used to assign a risk level to a potential threat allowing threats to be displayed in priority order of risk level and potentially reducing the sheer number of alerts shown to an administrator and also reducing the number of false positive alerts. Levels of risk may be based on threat sophistication risk, capability risk, confidentiality risk, system integrity risk and system availability risk. Training data may be used to provide the automatic generation of each rule base used in the fuzzy logic using a machine learning approach. Cyber threats such as SQL injection attacks, OS command injection attacks, buffer overflow attacks, XSS attacks, phishing attacks or other malicious attacks may be profiled.

Title: Imaging apparatus and method
Inventor: GREENWAY CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H04N5/33
Filed: 2014-04-16
Abstract: An imaging apparatus and method for improving discrimination between parts of a scene so as to enable enhancement of an object in the scene is disclosed. A camera unit 12 is arranged to capture first and second images from the scene 8 in first and second distinct wavebands. An image processing unit 14 processes the captured images using polarimetric information in the images.

The image enhancement is controllable by a user. The first and second wavebands could be spectrally spaced apart, covering for example 3 to 6 micron and 7.5 to 12 micron. Four or more images for each waveband could be captured at different polarisation angles. A correlation between the actual image intensity (30) at each angle of polarisation and an expected image intensity may also be used to enhance the visibility of an object.
