| 20100246930 | INSPECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD USING PENETRATING RADIATION - Products in multiple lanes are passed side-by-side through X-ray inspection apparatus and an image is acquired. Different parts of the image corresponding to the different product lanes are subjected to different numerical processing, so that product anomalies are in each case readily visible or reliably detected using automatic threshold discrimination. The same X-ray power may therefore be used to inspect products having widely different X-ray attenuation characteristics. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20100303304 | X-RAY IMAGING - An X-ray scanning apparatus for locating a contaminant in a product, the apparatus comprising: means for generating an X-ray image of the product; means for assigning a grey scale value to a plurality of pixels; means for identifying a plurality of suspect pixels; means, which for each suspect pixel: selects two neighbouring pixels in a first direction lying on opposed sides of the suspect pixel and determines which of the first direction pixels has the lowest grey value; selects two neighbouring pixels in a second direction lying on opposed sides of the suspect pixel and determines which of the second direction pixels has the lowest grey value; determines a first direction difference value by taking the grey value difference between the lowest grey value first direction pixel and the grey value of the suspect; determines a second direction difference value by taking the grey value difference between the lowest grey value second direction pixel and the grey value of the suspect; determines a first direction score from the first direction difference value; determines a second direction score from the second direction difference value; compares said scores with a threshold value; and identifies the suspect pixel as representing a contaminant if said threshold value is exceeded. | 12-02-2010 |

| 20090293773 | WORKSURFACE ASSEMBLY - A worksurface assembly includes a support structure and a top portion that is movable relative to the support structure. The worksurface assembly may include a mounting rail configured to support various accessory units. A utility supply system is provided, and the top portion of the worksurface assembly may be moved to provide access to the utility supply system. A mechanism provides for controlled movement of the top portion of the worksurface assembly relative to the support structure. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20080317823 | High Pressure Processing of Bioactive Compositions - The present invention relates to a method of pressure treating a bioactive composition comprising at least one bioactive component to prevent the growth of at least one unwanted microorganism while retaining a desired level activity of the at least one bioactive component. The bioactive component is selected from one or more proteins protein hydrolysates, one or more lipids or lipid hydrolysates, one or more carbohydrates, one or more probiotic factors, or mixtures thereof. The pressure treatment is at a predetermined pressure from about 350 to 1000 MPa. | 12-25-2008 |

| 20090207839 | MULTICAST DELIVERY - A method and nodes in a communication network for controlling multi-cast delivery of files, wherein the multi-cast delivery is adapted to reduce the amount of required uni-cast file deliveries in the communication network. A browser of an IPTV Terminating Function requiring a file interrogates a cache of the IFT for the file content before a uni-cast request for file delivery is sent to an Application Service Platform. The files stored in the cache have been previously delivered to the IFT via the proposed multi-cast mechanism. If the file content is not stored in the cache, a uni-cast request is sent to the ASP. Each uni-cast request is also forwarded to a Multi-Cast Controller, which determines whether the requested file should be sent also to a plurality of additional IFTs on a multi-cast channel. At each IFT, listening to the multi-cast channel, the received content can be handled selectively according to a filtering mechanism, and a received file may, e.g. be stored in the cache for later retrieval. | 08-20-2009 |
