20100047429 | METHOD OF PRODUCING SAUTEED VEGETABLES - Sautéed vegetables are used as a building block in the preparation of sauces, soups and meal solutions and are easily prepared on a kitchen scale. On scaling up the same method used at kitchen scale to industrial scale, the problem of heat transfer results in vegetables either not browning and developing the savoury and caramelised flavour of sautéed vegetables or becoming soggy and limp from over cooking. This problem is solved by using a process for the preparation of a food composition, such as sautéed vegetables, comprising the steps of: (a) comminuting a first portion of the composition of 70-97% by weight to a particle size of 1-20 mm in diameter, wherein the first portion comprises at least one raw vegetable selected from the group consisting of alliums, carrots, mushrooms, celeriac, fennel and Jerusalem artichoke; (b) comminuting a second portion of the composition of 30-3% by weight to a particle size of less than 1 mm in diameter, wherein the second portion comprises at least one raw allium; (c) heating the second portion in oil to a temperature of 100-140 degrees Centigrade thereby to reduce the water content of the said portion to less than 20% by weight; and then (d) combining the first portion and the second portion, wherein the weight ratio of the second portion and the oil is at least 75:25. | 02-25-2010 |

20130080310 | Returns-Timing for Multiple Market Factor Risk Models - Until recently, risk models have been built using low frequency data, such as weekly or monthly data. This approach has resulted in a necessary compromise between model stability for which one needs a long history of data, and model responsiveness, for which, the shorter the history, the better. Stability plus responsiveness can be achieved if one uses daily data, which allows for a large number of observations to be used in model estimation without using long out-of-date data. Daily data have other problems, however, as the differing closing times of markets worldwide may induce spurious relationships across model factors. In particular, correlations between markets may appear lower than they truly are due to a market lag To address such issues, a stable, daily data-based factor risk model is described which takes account of the differing market closing times and corrects the model factor correlations and specific returns accordingly. | 03-28-2013 |

20100143741 | METHOD OF COATING A METALLIC ARTICLE WITH A SURFACE OF TAILORED WETTABILITY - A method of coating a metallic article having an at least part-metallic surface comprising a first metal, with a surface having a pre-determined wettability, the method at least comprising the steps of: (a) coating at least a part of the metallic article with a layer of a second metal to provide a metal-metal bonded surface, said surface being rough either prior to or because of step (a); and (b) contacting the metal-metal bonded surface of step (a) with a material to provide the surface having the pre-determined wettability. The first metal may be one or more of the group comprising: iron, zinc, copper, tin, nickel and aluminium, and alloys thereof including steel, brass, bronze and nitinol for example. Preferably, the second metal is coated onto the first metal using electroless Galvanic deposition. The nature of the coated metallic article is non-limiting, as the ability of the present invention is to provide a tailored surface with a pre-determined wettability thereon, including superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic wettability. This allows the invention to be capable of application to a wide range of metal types used in different fields. | 06-10-2010 |

20100306911 | FLUSHING VALVE - A flushing valve suitable for reducing water wastage from a cistern of a toilet is described. The flushing valve comprising an inlet valve, an outlet valve and a timer valve. The timer valve is mechanically connected to both the inlet valve and the outlet valve so as to control their movement between an open and a closed position such that the timer valve prevents both the inlet valve and the outlet valve from simultaneously being in their open positions. By preventing the inlet valve and the outlet valve from simultaneously being in their open positions results in the fact that the flushing valve does not allow the cistern to start to refill until after the flush process is complete. This results in a significant reduction in the volume of water passing through the cistern during each flushing cycle. | 12-09-2010 |

20100170975 | INDUSTRIAL APPARATUS - A grinding mill requiring one or more new grinding balls is adapted so that they can be passed into the mill through spider-guide apertures. The spider-guide apertures provide anchors for spider-guide mountings, by means of which a spider used to grip an upper ring is restrained against rotation. There may be provided two mounting frames between the spider-guide mounting, and the mill. Frame is secured to the mill and has a large opening, able to pass a grinding ball. Frame is secured to frame and has a smaller opening, and provides a mounting location for the spider-guide mounting. The arrangement means that mill disassembly and lifting then lowering grinding balls is no longer needed. | 07-08-2010 |
