Filed: 2010-08-20
Abstract: A disc-shaped cutter 10 e.g. for an electric food processor, has a radial cutting blade 20 presenting a concave cutting surface to the foodstuff to be cut when rotated. The disc and/or blade may be metal e.g. stainless steel or plastic. A gap 30 beneath the blade allows cut food to fall into a container below the cutter. The blade may be made by punching, pressing or stamping it out of the disc such that it lies parallel to and above the plane of the disc or the blade may be made separately and fixed to the disc. An outer edge 24 of the blade may lead the inner edge 22 in the direction of rotation e.g. a radius through the outer edge may be between 35 and 55 degrees ahead of a radius through the inner edge. Additional blades may be provided perpendicular to the plane of the disc across gap 30 producing a julienne cutter.

Title: Using a measure of depth to detect if video data derives from a reference video
Inventor: HEFEEDA MOHAMED
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2011-08-02
Abstract: The method is for detecting whether query video data appears in a reference video. It comprises determining a measure of depth from a portion of the query video data, comparing the measure against a measure of depth for the reference video and, if a match is determined; comparing a visual signature derived from the query video data against a visual signature of the reference video; and hence to determine a measure representing the likelihood that the query video data derives from the reference video. The measure of depth could be derived from the content of a 3D video. The method could be applied to multiple frames, which may represent different views of the reference video. The method is likely to find application in detecting the copying of videos, i.e. in the field of anti-piracy for videos.

Title: Inherited transaction context for legacy software applications
Inventor: SOOD AJAY
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2012-05-15
Abstract: Native applications inherit transaction contexts when invoked 201 by primary applications running in separate hosting environments by receiving, via an interface of a native application server in a first hosting environment, a unique transaction context identifier for an invocation of the native application at the native application server by a primary application at a primary application server which may use Java; receiving a SQL statement from the native application 203 at the interface; sending the statement and the identifier for execution at the primary application server 205; returning a result of the execution of the statement and the identifier to the native application server 206; and providing the result to the native application 208. Conversion of the SQL statement 204 and/or the results 207 between the formats of the hosting environments may be performed.

Title: Avoiding interruption to circuit-switched voice calls by unrecoverable errors in packet-switched radio bearers
Inventor: KUBOTA KEIICHI
IPC: H04W76/02
Filed: 2012-05-24
Abstract: Interruption to circuit-switched (CS) voice calls by unrecoverable errors in packet-switched (PS) radio bearers is avoided by implementing a call re-establishment timer (e.g. T315) in accordance with an information element (IE) provided by the network. In one embodiment the IE informs user equipment (UE) to not apply the timer by setting the timer to zero and releasing the PS radio bearer on which the unrecoverable error was detected. In another embodiment the IE informs the UE to not immediately apply the timer by postponing its initiation of any cell update procedure due to the detected error until the CS radio bearer is released. The UE implements the timer in conventional manner if it does not have both PS and CS bearers. In this way, CS voice calls are not dropped due to unrecoverable errors in PS bearers. The IE may be received in radio resource control signalling or in broadcast system information.

Title: Diathermy knife ionisation source
Inventor: PRINGLE STEVEN DEREK
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2012-06-01
Abstract: A method of detecting one or more compounds, chemicals or contaminants in a substrate 2 by mass spectrometry is disclosed. A non-living substrate 2 is analyzed by contacting the substrate 2 with a RF electrosurgical knife 1. An electric current is applied to the diathermy knife 1 such that the knife 1 vaporizes a portion of the sample 2. The vapour is aspirated via a sampling tube 6 pumped by, for example, a venturi pump 7 into a vacuum chamber of a mass spectrometer 9, wherein the analyte molecules are ionized to form analyte ions which are then mass analysed. Ionisation of the analyte molecules may occur through impact with the wall of the vacuum chamber or an RF ion optical component located therein. Alternatively, the gas-phase analyte molecules may be generated using an ultrasonic probe, a laser probe, or by contacting the substrate with a jest of fluid.
