Publication number: 20130064951Abstract: A method of extruding products comprises varying the rate of flow of at least one material (12) through an extrusion aperture in a die (10). The method may be used to produce an extrudate body (16) whose cross-sectional area varies along its length or to produce an extrudate body comprising two or more different materials in which the proportions of the materials varies along its length. Apparatus (11) for carrying out the method comprises an extrusion die (10) defining an extrusion aperture and a material delivery system for delivering the material(s) to the die in a suitable condition for extrusion. A control system is operative to vary the rate of flow of the material. The control system may comprise a flow control mechanism (240) in a supply path for the first material upstream from the die (10). The flow control mechanism (240) may be operative to vary the volume of the supply path and may comprise a fluid actuated resiliently deformable flexible element.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2011Publication date: March 14, 2013Applicant: Cadbury UK LimitedInventors: Roderick Andrew Haines, Stuart Mark Banister, Finbarr Charles Ronald Williamson, Simon Philip Jelley, Andrew Christopher Bufton, Gavin Bown

Patent number: 8373079Abstract: A manually operable sensor for providing control signals to an electronic device. A fabric has a length substantially longer than its width with insulating yarns and electrically conductive yarns included therein, such that the conductive yarns define three conductive tracks running the length of the fabric. The conductive tracks are configured to interface with an electronic device at a first end and, at a second end, an active region of the fabric forms part of a sensor assembly that is receptive to a manually applied pressure. The sensor comprises first and second conductive regions to which a first and a second conductive track are connected respectively, to apply an electric potential to each conductive region. A conductive path is formed between a connected conductive track and the third conductive track of said active region when manual pressure is applied to one of the conductive regions.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2007Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Peratech LimitedInventor: Stuart Mark Walkington

Patent number: 7853036Abstract: A method for use in a computer system is provided that links a patient with patient-related data that is displayed on a graphical user interface. The method includes first determining if a digital watermark is required. If a digital watermark is required, the current background color for the display of patient-related data is obtained, along with an intensity value. The subject matter for the watermark is also obtained. The color of the digital watermark is calculated, based upon the obtained background color and intensity value. The digital watermark is then rendered on the display.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2006Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Cemer Innovation, Inc.Inventors: Stuart Mark Cohen, Douglas Michael Saus, Carrie Jeanne Vanzant, Russell William Webb, Kevin John Winkel

Publication number: 20100283749Abstract: A sensor having a rigid connector connectable to an interface device for interfacing with a processing device. The rigid connector is configured to convey information to the interface device, the information identifying a property of the sensor. An interface device connectable to the rigid connector of a sensor and configured to receive information conveyed by the connector, the information identifying a property of the sensor. A method of interfacing a sensor to a processing device. The information conveyed by the connector may identify the ability of the sensor to identify a position in one dimension or to identify a position in two dimensions, or the ability of the sensor to identify manually applied presses or manually applied gestures. The sensor may be a fabric position sensor or a flexible circuit sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2008Publication date: November 11, 2010Applicant: PERATECH LIMITEDInventor: Stuart Mark Walkington

Publication number: 20100238456Abstract: An interferometer comprises a source of a light beam, and a beam splitter for splitting the light beam from the source into at least first and second beams. A first (reference) reflector is positioned in the path of the first light beam. A second reflector, comprising a convergent lens and a mirror, is positioned in the path of the second light beam following reflection from a target. At least one detector is provided for detecting fringes formed by interference of the first and second light beams following reflection from the first and second reflectors respectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2008Publication date: September 23, 2010Inventors: Clive Christopher Speake, Stuart Mark Aston, Fabian Erasmo Pena Arellano, Timothy Peter Eduard Copland
