    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a rework process wherein raw material for making plant-based food products is reprocessed at the early stages of food production, thereby minimizing waste and improving food production. The rework process comprises reprocessing output material from an extruder, comprising cutting and kneading the output and pumping it back into the extruder via a pressure generated by sausage filler for another round of processing via a high moisture extrusion process.

    Abstract: Gemstone inspection apparatus (20) for inspecting a faceted gemstone (12). The gemstone is at least partially transparent to light having a wavelength within a transmission region. The apparatus comprises a support (30) for supporting a faceted gemstone; a light source (40) arrangement configured to direct light at a surface of a gemstone supported by the support, the light having a wavelength that is outside the transmission region; a detector (60) configured to detect light reflected by the surface of the gemstone; and a processor (90) configured to process the light detected by the detector to produce information suitable for use in determining a quality characteristic of the gemstone.

    Abstract: An adherable element is disclosed, comprising a decorative element having a support surface, and a pressure activated adhesive system pre-coated on the support surface of the decorative element for adhering the decorative element to a surface, the adhesive remaining uncured until activated by application of a threshold pressure. The adhesive comprises a matrix comprising a hardener and a plurality of microcapsules filled with an adhesive resin, the microcapsules being configured to rupture on application of the threshold pressure, thereby exposing the resin to the matrix and allowing the resin to react with the hardener to form an adhesive bond between the decorative element and the surface. The matrix may further comprise a rheology additive such that the matrix has a higher viscosity than the hardener at room temperature. Methods of making an adherable element, and decorative articles comprising the adherable element are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A latchable package comprises: a structure; and a support for supporting one or more items, the support being movable in an opening direction between a first position in which the structure blocks access to the one or more items and a second position in which the one or more items are accessibly clear of the structure. The structure and support comprise complementary latch members configured to engage when the support is arranged in the first position to prevent movement of the support in the opening direction. The latch member of the support is moveable in a latching direction transverse to the opening direction to engage with the latch member of the structure. The support comprises a latch region having a latch wall, the latch wall being subject to a biasing force that biases the wall outwardly in the latching direction, wherein a first portion of the latch wall is constrained against the biasing force, and wherein a second portion of the latch wall comprises a discontinuity configured to release the constraint in the second portion of the wall to allow the second portion to flare outwardly in the latching direction under the biasing force to act as the latch member on the support.

    Abstract: A subsea hydrocarbon export system comprises a riser tower having a riser column extending from a seabed location to a sub-surface buoy that supports the riser column in an upright orientation. A subsea connector is operable underwater to couple the riser column temporarily to a hose suspended from a surface shuttle tanker vessel for an export operation and to release the hose after the export operation.

    Inventor: WHITEHURST, Dane

    Abstract: An insert for a package, the package comprising a sleeve and the insert received in the sleeve, the insert being movable between retracted and extended configurations. The insert comprises: a carrier having first and second walls defining a passage therebetween, the first wall defining an interior surface that faces the passage, and an exterior surface that faces away from the passage; a band extending around the first wall of the carrier and through the passage; and a first member located inside the passage when the insert is in the retracted configuration and attached to the band at a first coupling location inside the passage. At least a portion of the band that overlies the exterior surface of the first wall is exposed for attachment to the sleeve of the package at a second location on the exposed portion of the band, such that when the insert is received in the sleeve and the band is coupled to the sleeve at the second coupling location, the carrier and the first member are movable between the retracted configuration in which the carrier and the first member are housed in the sleeve, and the extended configuration in which the carrier and the first member protrude from the sleeve, wherein the first member protrudes from the sleeve to a greater extent than the carrier in the extended configuration.

    Abstract: A latchable package comprises: a support (32) for supporting one or more items, a primary structure (36) for selectively blocking access to the one or more items, and a secondary structure (38) arrangeable to cover at least a part of the primary structure. The support is movable in an opening direction from a first position in which the primary structure blocks access to the one or more items to a second position in which the one or more items are accessibly clear of the primary structure. The support and the primary structure comprise co-operating latch features (40, 42) configured to engage when the support and the primary structure are arranged in the first position to prevent movement of the support in the opening direction, and configured to disengage on moving at least one latch feature (40) in an unlatching direction to permit movement of the support in the opening direction. The secondary structure comprises a disengagement region (44) that is arrangeable to at least partially align with the latch features when the support and the primary structure are arranged in the first position, and that is configured to permit disengagement of the latch features of the support and the primary structure when the disengagement region is at least partially aligned with the latch features.
