Abstract: In an example, a method includes depositing an organic polymer layer on one or more material layers. The method also includes thermally curing the organic polymer layer. The method includes depositing a hard mask on the organic polymer layer and depositing a photoresist layer on the hard mask. The method also includes patterning the photoresist layer to expose at least a portion of the hard mask. The method includes etching the exposed portion of the hard mask to expose at least a portion of the organic polymer layer. The method also includes etching the exposed portion of the organic polymer layer to expose at least a portion of the one or more material layers.

Abstract: The process of identifying suitable subjects for scientific investigation, drawing together collaborators to perform that research, securing funding for that research and initiating the research is accelerated by a process that brings together researchers and investigators who provide short statements of evidence relevant to the subject of evidence. As the collection is built, investigators and researchers may provide conjectures and projections as to what sort of research the collection suggests. That collection is made available to funding entities on a secure basis to form proposed research initiatives they are desirous of funding from which proposals a research proposal is selected to perform the research on the subject of interest. Signing of researchers and initiating the research completes a process that completes the cycle of research and development more quickly than current models.

Abstract: The invention is for a heating pad for a container to lie against at least one external surface of the container, and apply thermal energy to the container, and any material therein, when needed. The pad consists of a foamed resilient substrate with a first presenting major surface substantially equal in area to the at least one external surface of the container. A heating cable is located on the first presenting major surface to form an electrical circuit that when energised provides the thermal energy. A planar sheet material is above the first presenting major surface, and below a second presenting major surface of the substrate, the planar sheet material extends past the first and second presenting major surfaces and sealed at a periphery to form an encapsulation of the substrate and heating cable. There is an electrical connection from the heating cable internally of the encapsulation to external of the encapsulation.

Abstract: A viscoelastic fluid is prepared by shearing a gelled emulsion. The emulsion is an oil-in-water emulsion comprising 2% 12% (w/w) of a heat-treated protein that can form a heat-set gel and 5% 40% fat. The proteins used include whey protein and soy protein. The viscoelastic fluid may be used as a spread. It may also be used for the preparation of a plurality of different ultimate products formed from the original gel.

Abstract: The invention is a method of preparing a gel. The method comprises forming an oil-in-water emulsion by mixing oil or fat with an aqueous medium. The mixture comprises 2% to 12% (w/w) of a heat-settable protein and 5% to 40% (w/w) oil or fat or a mixture of oil and fat. The mixture is homogenised at a pressure in the range 100 to 2000 bar. The homogenised emulsion is heated to 50° C. to 200° C. for a period sufficient to denature the proteins without allowing a gel to form. A gel is formed by adding a salt or by acidifying. The proteins used include whey protein and soy protein.

Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention a system, method and computer program product for creating at least a two dimensional or three dimensional (3D) datastream from a video with moving objects is disclosed.

Abstract: A microwavable product capable from a frozen state of its gas and ice including composition, whilst still in all or part of its container in which it has been frozen or been held frozen, of being microwave heated to a foamy hot beverage, the composition having a stabiliser and at least one type of dairy inclusion.

Abstract: A microwaveable beverage pack comprising or including a free standing open top microwaveable container (with or without microwave shielding), having a piercable or removable lid that at least substantially closes the top of the container, and wherein said container contains a chilled or frozen composition microwaveable in the container to provide a hot foamed beverage. The container may include one or the other, or both of: (A) an opening as a vent, or an openable vent feature, in the container or lid, or both, to be above the level of the hot beverage composition and its foam in the free standing container, and/or (B) microwave shielding, integral with said container or as a separate apparatus, said microwave shielding to shield any of foam generated at the surface of the composition in the container when being microwaved.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for compositing putrescible waste material, the apparatus including a stationary elongated compositing chamber which is mounted to be generally horizontal in orientation or slightly inclined from an inlet end to an outlet end and includes at least one rotatable shaft therein with paddles or tines that extend therefrom in a generally helical pattern. Rotation of the shaft causes the composting material to move along the chamber. Air is injected into the compositing chamber and accumulates in a headspace above the compositing material where it is measured for flow rate, gas content and temperature and eventually removed from near an inlet end of the chamber.
