Title: Food hygiene method and food product
Inventor: HALL JEREMY
IPC: A23B4/09
Filed: 2011-06-07
Abstract: A process is described for reducing the number of viable microorganisms, particularly Campylobacter species, present on the surface of meat, especially poultry. The process comprises the steps of rapidly cooling the surface membrane of a contaminated meat item to a given temperature, preferably between -5 and 2Â°C, and allowing the membrane to warm to a second temperature higher than the first temperature and preferably below 4Â°C. The process is sufficient to reduce the number of viable bacteria, whilst at the same time retaining in the muscle meat the organoleptic and nutritional qualities of fresh meat as monitored by the level of Î²-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HADH) activity in the muscle tissue. The cooling may be achieved by exposure to a cryogen.

Title: System for energy consumption prediction
Inventor: ADI ANDREI
IPC: G06Q50/06
Filed: 2015-10-13
Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating predicted energy consumption data for a first energy consumer based on energy consumption data of a plurality of further energy consumers. Prediction is based on a set of training samples, each training sample comprising predictor attribute data and energy consumption data for a respective one of the further energy consumers, as well as one or more predictor attribute values for the first energy consumer. A predictive model is generated, defining a relationship between values of predictor attributes and energy consumption data of the training samples. Predicted energy consumption data for the first energy consumer is then determined using the predictive model and the predictor attribute values. The energy consumption data may be categorized by consumption categories such heating, lighting etc. A method of clustering energy consumption profiles is also disclosed. The predictions may be beneficial where a consumer is not equipped to provide frequent energy readings and/or the ability to track usage by category.

Title: Providing context-based visibility of cloud resources in multi-tenant environment
Inventor: SRIDHAR MUPPIDI
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2014-10-21
Abstract: A secure tag generation service is associated with a cloud infrastructure. This service establishes a security context for a particular cloud tenant based on a tenant's security requirements, one or more cloud resource attributes, and the like. The security content is encoded into a data structure, such as a tag that uniquely identifies that security context. The tag is then encrypted. The encrypted tag is then propagated to one or more cloud management services, such as a logging service. When one or more cloud resources are then used, such use is associated with the encrypted security context tag. In this manner, the encrypted tag is used to monitor activities that are required to meet the security context. When it comes time to perform a security or compliance management task, any cloud system logs that reference the encrypted security context tag are correlated to generate a report for the security context.

Title: Processing signal data using an upsampling adjuster
Inventor: Ivan Makeev
IPC: H04N19/136
Filed: 2017-12-06
Abstract: Signal data is processed at an encoder device 108. A signal representation at a first quality level is obtained. The representation at the first level is upsampled using an upsampler in the encoder device, deriving a preliminary signal representation at a second, higher level of quality. Adjustment data is derived using the representation at the first level as input to an upsampling adjuster in parallel with the encoder upsampler. The adjustment data is useable by the encoder device to adjust the preliminary representation. The preliminary representation and the adjustment data are used to derive an adjusted representation at the second quality level. Residual data useable by a decoder device 110 is derived, using the adjusted representation, to reconstruct a reference signal representation at the second level using the adjusted representation. Deriving of adjustment data may comprise using further data – upsampler attribute data; signal attribute (first quality level) data - as a further input to the upsampling adjuster, derived using a further upsampling adjuster, associated with a further upsampler to upsample a signal representation at a quality level lower than the first level. Machine learning (e.g. a trained neural network) may be used.
