Title: Food selection
Inventor: TEW STEVE
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2010-05-28
Abstract: The present invention discloses a system and method for computerized indication, comparison and ranking of a food product depending on the foods nutritional and ingredient content and whether its    fresh and/or organic or not, as stated on the food label. The ranking chart is displayed either on a website, computer screen, mobile phone, shop terminal or static display or verbal announcement. The display allows a user/consumer to have a holistic view of a food, in terms of what is healthier or better for them when foods are compared to each other and it also allows users to improve their dietary intake by selecting on the website or mobile, ingredients they want to avoid. Users can also list dietary requirements for example,    following a diet for a Coeliac   . The adjustment criteria for ranking and highlighting a food is based on similar products with varying contents and product information and whether or not a user has indicated if they have a dietary requirement or not.

Title: Systems and methods for outputting information on a display of a mobile device
Inventor: CUMMINS ORAN
IPC: G06Q20/20
Filed: 2013-04-12
Abstract: A payment is made using a mobile device 104 e.g. tablet, smart phone etc. which displays a 2D code e.g. QR code, including a payment cryptogram to be read by a POS terminal 120. The terminal transmits the payment information and transaction information to an acquirer 12 who transmits it to an issuer 108 for authentication. The mobile device receives payment details and a single use key via dual channel communication with mutual authentication from a remote secure element, which may also transmit the information to an issuer. Registration may be required with the remote secure element (Figure 8) and a payment application 106 may be installed and activated (Figure 9) on the mobile device which may store the payment details, a shared mobile key for decrypting received data and the single use key 118. The single use key may be generated in response to a request from a mobile including a mobile PIN. It may include an identifier identifying it with a card, an application transaction counter (ATC) and generating key e.g. CVC3 or an application cryptogram, used to generate a payment cryptogram to be included in the 2D code. An incorrect single use key may be provided if the correct PIN is not received, the payment then not being authorised. The mobile device may generate a chip authentication program (CAP) token which is authenticated by the remote system before transmitting the payment information. A contactless payment can be made without the use of a secure element.
Patent GB-2515014-A (GB)
Title: Analog-to-digital conversion
Inventor: WOLFS BRAM
IPC: H04N5/378
Filed: 2013-06-10
Abstract: The drain voltage of transistor M3 is maintained constant by a feedback loop OP1, I2 so that charge is not injected into the ramp signal node by parasitic capacitor C2 when the comparator switches. The ramp signal may be commonly applied to many comparators in a CMOS imaging sensor. The technique prevents dependency of a pixel ADC output on the signal values of other pixels in the row. The bias currents I4 and I5 in the output stages may be set so that the current consumption is independent of the comparator state. The input capacitance of the comparator is independent of the state of the comparator, which is beneficial in successive-approximation, cyclic and pipeline ADCs (figures 10 to 12).

Abstract: A process and swaging machine for tubular objects comprising a hydraulic ram which has at least two swaging dies (1 & 2 fig 1) axially assembled on its working face and a clamping block 10 holding a product blank. In operation the ram moves the dies toward the clamping block and through axial pressure forms the blank into a desired product preferably in at least two swaging actions carried out in one linear movement of the hydraulic ram. The dies may be disposed so that the first swaging die is crimping die and the second is a bulging die. Where the bulging die may be in two halves of which one is mounted on the ram and the matching half is mounted on the working face of the clamping block. Alternatively the second half of the bulging die is formed directly into the working face of the clamping block. The process may be such that the first of the swaging actions is crimping and the second is a bulging action. The dies may be polished tungsten carbide and a wheat based lubricant may be applied to the work to conduct heat away from the work.

Preferably, the apparatus has two chambers partly, substantially or wholly filled with one or more low attractive selectivity ion exchange resins. The ion exchange resin having low attractive selectivity may be a type II resin and/or a gel-type resin. Suitably, the apparatus includes a number of chambers forming a stack. In another aspect, the use of ion exchange resin of low attractive selectivity in the manufacture of an electrodeionisation apparatus is claimed. A method of treating a fluid by passing the fluid through the apparatus is also claimed.
