Abstract: A bowl assembly 110 for a kitchen appliance 1 arranged to process ingredients contained within the bowl assembly 110, comprising: a bowl 112 having an aperture 115 in its base; a drivable tool mount 200 for a food processing tool arranged to fit within the aperture 115; and a blanking plug 300 arranged to fit within the aperture 115; wherein the drivable tool mount 200 and blanking plug 300 are interchangeable with one another.

Abstract: A food processing appliance (100) comprises a housing defining an exterior of the appliance. There is disclosed a reversibly attachable fascia (200) arranged to extend over an exterior surface of the appliance (100). The reversibly attachable fascia (200) is typically configured to be reversibly attachable to the appliance (100) without the use of tools.

Abstract: A kitchen appliance a bowl; a lid arranged to be fitable to the bowl; a seal arranged to be fitted between the lid and the bowl when the lid is fitted to the bowl; and a safety device arranged to allow operation of the kitchen appliance only when both the lid is fitted to the bowl and the seal is fitted between the lid and the bowl.

Abstract: A food processing apparatus comprises a container for food to be processed, the container having a removable cover arranged to engage with the container, and a tool drive for a processing tool, wherein the apparatus is arranged to operate in a first processing mode when the cover is engaged with the container, and is arranged to operate in a second processing mode when the cover is not engaged with the container, in which in the second processing mode, use of the tool drive for processing is restricted with respect to the first processing mode. Thus the apparatus can operate in a ‘safe’ mode when the lid is not engaged.

Abstract: A system and methods for maintaining or optimizing a mobile phone network by spatially correlating geolocated radio access network (RAN) performance measurement data and geolocated subscriber account data, which in embodiments provides additional technical information on the RAN performance. These data are integrated in a spatial data structure and provided with a spatial querying and data correlation system for identifying, and addressing problem areas of the RAN.

Abstract: A blade assembly for a food processing appliance includes a shaft and a base member in which one end of the shaft is journalled for rotation about its axis. First and second blade members are mounted to the shaft at respective axial locations and extend radially and in opposite directions from their respective locations on the shaft, with the blade member nearer the free end of the shaft being angled back along the shaft towards the base member and the other blade member angled forwardly along the shaft, towards the free end. The first blade member further has associated therewith a relatively short and blunt stub-like blade portion angled forwardly from the support location for the first blade member and extending beyond the free end of the shaft.

Abstract: Techniques that enable instant communications services to be provisioned for an online community of users such that the members of the community can interact with each other using instant communications including using instant messaging (IM). In one embodiment, an instant communications facilitator operating from a first domain may provision instant communication services for members of an online community maintained in different domains from the first domain.

Abstract: An anode for an X-ray tube includes at least one thermally conductive anode segment in contact with a rigid support member and cooling means arranged to cool the anode. The anode may further include a plurality of anode segments aligned end to end, each in contact with the support member.
