The application comprises bundles (e.g. OSGi bundles) with manifest metadata having export statements defining exported packages. The deployment unit comprises a receiver unit to receive the bundles, an extractor unit to examine the metadata and extract the export statements, a converter unit to convert each of the export statements into a corresponding import statement, and a creator unit to add a synthetic bundle having the import statements inserted in its metadata. The deployment unit sets a thread context class loader to delegate class loading to a class loader of the synthetic bundle. Thus, at runtime, classes of the application are only loaded when they are explicitly exported packages as defined by the synthetic bundle. | 11-05-2009 |

The application comprises bundles (e.g. OSGi bundles or JSR modules) each with manifest metadata defining dependencies for the respective bundle. A deployment management unit refers to one or more personality specific deployers to determine which of the bundles have a specific personality from a predetermined set of personality types. The personality specific deployers transform the respective personality-specific bundles by inserting one or more additional dependencies into the metadata of the bundle according to their personality type. The deployment management unit applies one or more operations to all of the plurality of bundles, including installing each of the bundles ready for deployment and deploys those bundles not having a specific personality type. The personality specific deployers deploy the personality-specific bundles according to their respective personality types. | 11-05-2009 |

20110125633 | TRANSACTION PROCESSING - In prior art methods of processing transactions, funds for any given transaction are typically designated for payment from a single account. Further, funds are often pre-paid into accounts associated with a subscription to a telecommunications network, reducing the funds that a user can allocate to the single account. This can cause the amount of funds available from the single account to be below that required to cover one or a series of transactions, leading to the problem that only transactions of a limited size or number can be effected for a given account balance. In embodiments of the present invention, a method of processing a transaction is provided in which, responsive to a request for a transaction, a plurality of accounts associated with a party to the transaction are identified, including at least one account associated with a subscription to a telecommunications network. Funds for the transaction are selected on the basis of account balances of the identified accounts. This enables a greater amount of funds to be available for effecting transactions than in prior art methods. | 05-26-2011 |

20080222198 | Data processing apparatus, method and computer program product for reducing memory usage of an object oriented program - The present invention provides a method, computer program product and data processing apparatus for reducing memory usage of an object oriented program. The object oriented program comprises at least one class definition used to create objects, each class definition providing at least one function that can be run in respect of objects created from that class definition, and identifying a number of storage items to be provided in memory for each object to store data values associated with that object. For each class definition, the method is performed prior to any objects being created from that class definition, and is performed in respect of at least a subset of the storage items identified by that class definition. The method involves determining an original size associated with each storage item, and analysing at least the class definition to identify any numeric ranges associated with the storage items. For each storage item for which a numeric range is identified, it is determined if the original size can be reduced whilst still supporting the numeric range, and if so a modified size less than the original size is allocated to that storage item. Thereafter, the class definition is altered having regard to any storage element that has been allocated a modified size, whereafter when objects are created from that altered class definition, a significant reduction in memory usage is obtained. | 09-11-2008 |

20130101701 | REHYDRATABLE FOOD - Use of dried rehydratable food, such as in a dried soup, a dried beverage, a breakfast cereal, a yoghurt and a dried sauce, is widespread. However it has been observed that when the dried components are fruit and/or vegetable, the components, on rehydration, do not resemble the fruit and/or vegetable before desiccation. That is to say they no longer have a fresh appearance but are discoloured and lack firmness. This transformation is due to cellular damage which occurs during desiccation. In particular, it is thought that phospholipid membranes are destabilised by insertion of cellular amphiphiles, phase transition into the gel phase and membrane fusion. This invention seeks to solve the above-mentioned technical problem by providing, amongst other things, a dried rehydratable food which is a fruit, vegetable or part thereof which, on rehydration, has improved appearance, texture and rehydration properties. In particular, a dried rehydratable food is provided, the food comprising less than 10% w/w water and at least 0.02% w/w of a dehydrin protein and derivatives thereof, the dehydrin protein and derivatives thereof comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of K,I,K,E,K,L,P,G; K,I,K,E/D,K,L/I,P,G; and K,I,K,E/D,K,L/I/TA/,P/H/S,G, and wherein the dried rehydratable food is unbroken tissue of a vegetable or part thereof and/or a fruit or part thereof, and not a seed, wherein the unbroken tissue has a shortest linear dimension of at least 0.5 millimetres, preferably a shortest linear dimension of 0.5 to 25, more preferably 0.5 to 10 millimetres. A food product comprising the dried rehydratable food and methods for manufacturing the dried rehydratable food are also provided. | 04-25-2013 |
