Patent GB-2500673-A (GB)
Title: Encapsulated chia oil
Inventor: MOHAMMED IMRAN
IPC: A23D9/02
Filed: 2012-03-29
Abstract: Chia (Salvia Hispanica) oil comprises a vegetarian source of omega-3 fatty acid, in particular alpha-linolenic acid. A free flowing soluble powder is formed by emulsifying cold pressed chia oil with a solution of encapsulate material such as carrageenan or pectin with protein. The emulsion is spray dried to form an encapsulate. The powdered encapsulate is then agglomerated to increase the size of the particles to 60-80 microns. The encapsulation process increases the chia oils oxidation stability. The powder is wetted easily and can be added to food products such as baked goods, jams and yogurts during the production process.

Title: System and method for dynamically generating contextual and personalised digital content
Inventor: TRAINOR DAVID
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2014-06-27
Abstract: A digital content generating system comprises mobile computing devices in communication with a server. A sensor data analyser receives data, generated by the sensors of one of the mobile devices in respect of a real-world scene and determines features or objects of the real-world scene from the data. A data analytics system matches the real-world scene features and user preferences with digital content items with associated metadata to create personalised digital content for the user of the mobile device. The system therefore dynamically generates digital content that is automatically and contextually constructed, the context being created from automatically-sensed features in the user's physical environment and from the user's interests and opinions. Physical proximity may be used to provide digital content to a collocated group. In a notification mode an alarm may be generated. The system may be used as part of an augmented realty system. The following environment sensing capabilities may be supported: image sensing (e.g. a camera); audio sensing (e.g. a microphone); haptic input sensing (e.g. a touchscreen, button or accelerometer); device orientation and movement sensing (e.g. an accelerometer or gyroscopic device); device and user geolocation sensing (e.g. GPS); and temperature and/or humidity sensing.
