Title: Self heating packaging and method of manufacturing fuel
Inventor: SEARLE MATTHEW JOHN
IPC: B65D81/34
Filed: 2011-04-05
Abstract: A method of making a fuel for a portable heater comprises heating a salt of iron with a carboxylic acid at a temperature from about 400oC to about 700oC under an inert or reducing atmosphere to produce a composite material comprising carbon and iron nanoparticles. The fuel may be mounted to a substrate, such as a mesh or foil, and incorporated into a self-heating packaging. Typically, the packaging comprises a wall defining a chamber that, in use, contains a substance to be heated, e.g. a foodstuff or liquid. A heating manifold in thermal communication with the chamber contains the fuel in the inert atmosphere to initially inhibit production of heat otherwise arising from substantial oxidation of substantially all the fuel in the manifold in an exothermic reaction. A vent in the manifold is initially sealed and air-tight, but selectively opening of the vent allows oxidation of the iron nanoparticles. The chamber is then heated by the transfer of heat from the fuel to the chamber, the transfer of heat being by at least one of direct thermal conduction through the wall, thermal convection or indirect thermal heating arising from heating of a fluid medium that is introduced into the chamber.

Title: The comparative rate of character recognition test (CREST)
Inventor: GRIFFTHS GERAINT WILLIAM
IPC: A61B3/032
Filed: 2013-02-24
Abstract: CREST is a test which measures the rate of individual letter recognition and can differentiate between reading difficulties caused by binocular instability and amblyopia by comparing the subjects' rate of character recognition using two different fonts, one at high contrast and one at a lower intermediate level of contrast. The time is taken to read aloud each of two lines of 60 random individual letters of the alphabet arranged into groups of between one and seven characters (to give the illusion of normal printed text) imbedded in a paragraph of 13 lines printed in the same font with the same number of letters in each line. The high contrast characters are black N12 letters with a serif type-face (Times) and the low contrast characters are teal N12 letters with a non-serif type-face (Gill Sans).
