Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for preserving a plant material. The method comprises applying a composition comprising a microwave attractant to the plant material; and then drying the plant material while exposing the plant material to microwave energy, wherein the microwave energy heats the plant material to a temperature effective to inactivate the majority of any browning enzymes in the plant material, and wherein the microwave attractant results in the heating of the plant material occurring at a rate whereby browning of the plant material by the browning enzymes during heating is substantially prevented. Also disclosed are uses of the preserved plant material.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composition for producing egg-free simulated egg food products. The composition comprises whey protein, a soy material comprising a lipoxygenase inactivated soy flour and a pH modifying agent effective to alkalinise the composition upon hydration. A simulated egg food product having organoleptic properties similar to those of the egg food product if produced using hen eggs is produced upon hydrating and then cooking the composition.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for preparing a ready to use storage stable food composition. The method comprises comminuting an admixture of a fresh plant material and an oil at a substantially neutral pH and under conditions whereby browning enzymes in the plant material are substantially prevented from reacting; rapidly heating the admixture to a temperature at which the browning enzymes are substantially inactivated, and under conditions whereby the admixture loses substantially no weight during heating; and cooling the heated admixture to a temperature at which growth of spoilage organisms does not occur. Also disclosed herein are ready to use storage stable food compositions. When the compositions are combined with foods containing phenolic compounds, no browning of the food occurs.

Abstract: The embodiments relate to an adaptive energy management system (AEMS) for monitoring an environment, the AEMS comprising a behaviour analysis module communicatively coupled via a wired or wireless network to a plurality of sensors in the monitored environment and connected to a user interface. The sensors are preferably capable of continuously monitoring one or more conditions of the monitored environment and/or the operation of one or more devices in the monitored environment and providing data regarding said operation to the behaviour analysis module. The behaviour analysis module includes an activity based analysis component that is configured to generate an activity based behaviour pattern for the occupant(s) of the monitored environment based on the data received from the sensor(s), said activity based behaviour component being further configured to adapt said activity based behaviour pattern based on updated data received from said sensor(s).

Abstract: A turbine casing assembly, comprising an annular seal segment assembly for surrounding the turbine adjacent to the turbine blades. An abradable coating is provided on the inboard surface of the seal segments of the assembly and one or more coolant ducts extend from the outboard surface of the seal segment assembly through respective seal segments and the abradable coating, for carrying a coolant towards the blade tips. One or more annular grooves are formed in the inboard surface of the abradable coating, the or each coolant duct opening into one of the one or more annular grooves.

Abstract: An aerofoil typically for a blade or vane for a gas turbine engine comprises a pressure wall and a suction wall, at least one of the pressure and suction walls comprise corrugations and a coolant hole on an inner surface, the corrugations define a downstream surface and the coolant hole having an inlet defined in the downstream surface.

Abstract: An aerofoil typically for a blade or vane for a gas turbine engine comprises a pressure wall, a suction wall and a web that extends therebetween. One of the walls comprises an inner leaf and an outer leaf which defines a cavity, the other wall defines a first outlet, the aerofoil defines at least one first passage extending from the cavity through the web and to the outlet. Coolant in the cavity on one side wall of the aerofoil is thereby routed across the web to be used to cool the other wall by convention and formation of a coolant film.

Abstract: A seat assembly having a seat back and a fold assist mechanism. The fold assist mechanism may have a drive plate and a spring. The spring may bias the seat back from a first position toward the second position when the spring engages a drive plate flange.

Abstract: A HNB or Femto-Cell base-station arranged to locally re-route text based messages originating form locally residing user equipment or appliances if the destination device is also residing within the area covered by the Femto-Cell. The Femto-Cell base station may be arranged to exert a degree of autonomous control of local appliances based on rules and determine desired recipients of locally originating messages.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing confidentiality and/or integrity to fragmented packet transmissions, without reassembly of the fragments, across wired and wireless communications networks are disclosed. Encryption of a first fragmented packet can be performed by using an initial encryption state variable and keying material resulting in a first ciphertext fragment and a first encryption state variable. Then encryption of a second fragments packet can be performed by using the first encryption state variable and the keying material resulting in a second ciphertext fragment. Decryption of fragments can be performed in a similar manner as encryption. Computation of a message authentication code can be performed by computing a first hash state value for a first block size of bytes of a first packet fragment using an initial hash state value, and storing the first hash value and a first set of remainder bytes of the first packet fragment.

Abstract: Quick-cooked dehydrated vegetables having a moisture content of about 12% or less which have been compressed, but maintain a substantially intact cellular structure, and which on being placed in water at a temperature of 90° C. to 100° C. are capable of rehydration substantially to their original fresh dimensions, and are of edible tenderness and texture instantly or within five minutes, are described. Also described are processes for the production of a dehydrated, rapidly rehydrating vegetable product by compression of a partially dehydrated vegetable product.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved breakfast cereal biscuit comprising grain which includes waxy grain in an amount of at least 20% by weight of total grain content.

The improved breakfast cereal biscuit typically exhibits extended bowl life, has improved nutritional qualities, is tender and crisp in texture, has better flavors, and requires reduced energy in the manufacturing process, when compared to standard flaked wheat breakfast cereal biscuits.

Abstract: There is provided a grain suitable for use in baked products and a method for producing the grain in which the grain has been preconditioned by physical action sufficient to induce an internal capillary network without causing the grain to fragment. The grain is subsequently treated with an osmotically active solute which provides the grain with rapid imbibition characteristics. The treated grain, when used in baked products, results in a baked product having improved shelf stability and antistaling properties.
