Abstract: A caramel is provided comprising a solid plant fat and an amount of water less than 10 wt %. The caramel exhibits a chewy texture when consumed but is yet depositable. The caramel is thus advantageously used in a confection. In addition to the caramel, the confection may comprise a crisp component. Methods of making the confection are also provided.

Abstract: A wheel assembly is configured to display graphic designs and digital information. The wheel assembly has a wheel, joined to a spinner hub with a spinner base. A weight is joined to a spinner base lower portion. A spacer is joined to the spinner base above the weight. A bracket is joined to the spinner base and arranged against the spacer. A mobile device is housed within the bracket. A cover plate is joined to the spinner base, and further comprises a central opening with graphic designs that surrounds the bracket. As the wheel rotates, the weight causes the spinner base rotate opposite the wheel thus maintaining the mobile device in a stable position so that the mobile device displays the digital information.

Abstract: The invention relates to flexible pipes for transporting cryogenic gas in liquefied form. The pipe is of composite form and comprises an inner pipe adapted to withstand pressure loads and cryogenic temperatures, an outer pipe adapted to withstand tensile axial forces, and a layer of insulating material (34) interposed between the inner and outer pipes. The inner pipe is defined by a hollow carcass (10) formed from a helical interlocked metallic strip (12), the internal and external surfaces of which are lined with a fluid-pressure containment sheath (32) of fully fluorinated fluoroplastic. The insulating layer (34) acts to maintain a temperature differential between the respective pipes. Adjacent portions of the strip (12) in the carcass (10) are moveable relative to each other to provide flexibility to the pipe along its length.

Abstract: A termination apparatus for use in providing a termination on a hose by crimping and a method of forming a termination. The apparatus includes a hose former adapted to be positioned at the hose end. The former has one or more, preferably annular, grooves, and a corresponding number of crimped rings crimped into the groove(s), so that the material of the hose is forced into a serpentine shape in cross-section.

Abstract: Armoring tape for wrapping around a hose during its fabrication by a hose-wrapping machine. The tape is coiled into a roll having a hollow core from which the tape is unwound to be wrapped onto the hose. The hose-wrapping machine rotatably mounts the roll with the hose passing through the roll core, the roll axis being skewed to the hose axis by the helix angle at which the tape is to be wrapped onto and along the hose The hose is moved longitudinally through the longitudinally static roll and at the same time, the roll is rotated around the longitudinal axis of the non-rotating hose The armouring tape unwinds from the inside of the roll onto and along the hose so as to wrap the hose with a uniform helix of armouring tape The use of a tape containing an elastomer-embedded array of armouring cables enables armouring wires and elastomer layers to be applied without a stabilising layer of fabric, and greatly simplifies setting-up of machinery for hose fabrication.

Abstract: Armouring tape (102) for wrapping around a hose (300) during its fabrication by a hose-wrapping machine (200; 400). The tape (102) is coiled into a roll (100) having a hollow core (109) from which the tape (102) is unwound to be wrapped onto the hose (300). Th hose-wrapping machine (200; 400) rotatably mounts the roll (100) with the hose (300) passing through the roll core (109), the roll axis (108) being skewed to the hose axis (304) by the helix angle at which the tape (102) is to be wrapped onto and along the hose (300). The hose (300) is moved longitudinally through the longitudinally static roll (100) and at the same time, the roll (100) is rotated around the longitudinal axis (304) of the non-rotating hose (300). The armouring tape (102) unwinds from the inside (109) of the roll onto and along the hose (300) so as to wrap the hose (300) with a uniform helix of armouring tape (102).

Abstract: A container for breath mints and the like includes a tray and lid. The lid may be retracted to define a dispensing slot of limited width for controlled dispensing. An internal shelf may be provided to facilitate dispensing. The lid and tray are configured to resist inelastic deformation during normal use.

Abstract: A method for the identification of agents which modulate sterol biosynthesis which method comprises contacting a test compound with a host cell comprising a DNA sequence which controls expression of a yeast acetoacetyl CoA thiolase gene operably linked to a reporter system such that modulation of sterol biosynthesis in the host cell leads to a detectable change in cell phenotype, and determining whether any such detectable change has occurred.

Abstract: Where a submarine wellhead is coupled to a floating vessel by a riser in the form of a flexible hose, vessel movements subject the riser to excessive strains where the riser is tethered ask to the vessel. In accordance with the invention, these strains are reduced by pivoting the riser tether about a horizontal axis, and optionally also about a vertical axis. Giving the riser tether at least one degree of rotational freedom is surprisingly beneficial in reducing riser strains, and consequently in reducing the probability of premature failure of the riser.
