Abstract: Methods of performing dual-comb interferometry using a dual-comb interferometer and methods of characterizing a volume using dual-comb interferogram data are described.

Abstract: An optical plural-comb generator comprising a plurality of mode-locked lasers that are mechanically coupled and optically independent. The optical plural-comb generator comprises an optical combiner optically coupled to an output of each of the plurality of mode-locked lasers for combining a plurality of optical combs when generated by the plurality of mode-locked lasers.

Abstract: A device for making patties of compressible food matter of different sizes, for example meat patties, comprises a first member having a first compression plate for making a patty of a corresponding size and shape. The device further comprises a second member to be added onto the first member. The second member has a second compression plate to extend from the first compression plate to form therewith a larger compression plate when the first member is mounted onto the second member, in order to make a food patty of a corresponding larger size. The first and second members have respective cooperating attaching means to connect the members in an assembled position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a kitchen device, namely a cooking vessel to be used with a cooking utensil. The cooking vessel is adapted to hold the utensil by the stem in order to suspend the cooking implement of the utensil above the container of the cooking vessel. More particularly, the cooking vessel comprises a container having a bottom surface, and a handle extending from the container. The handle has an opening for receiving the stem of the utensil, the opening having a predetermined shape for cooperating with the stem to temporarily hold the stem so that the cooking implement of the utensil hangs above the bottom surface of the container. There is also provided a cooking assembly comprising the cooking vessel and the utensil. There is also provided a handle to be joined to a cooking vessel, as well as a utensil to be used with the cooking vessel.
