Filed: 1997-02-07
Abstract: A conveyor for removing material, such as waste, from a silo bottom comprises fixed holding plates 4 situated above each other in a stepped arrangement and pushing plates 6 situated between adjacent holding plates 4. The pushing plates 6 are individually attached to a reciprocating carriage 9 at attachment points 11. The reciprocating motion of the carriage 9 is provided by piston means 23. The resulting reciprocating motion of the pushing plates 6 acts to move material 3 towards the outlet of the silo. In the return stroke of the pushing plates any matter adhering to the plates is scrapped off by the front edge 23 of a holding plate. The front edge being provided with a channel (22, figure 4) in which a pneumatic biasing means (21, figure 4) and a resilient seal member (28, figure 4) are situated. The holding plates 4, pushing plates 6 and the direction of pushing plate motion (P3, figure 2) may be inclined at an angle of 0-10{ (v 1 , figure 2) to the horizontal (18, figure 2) thereby allowing liquid drainage. The outlet is provided with a vertically adjustable gate 19 to control the volume of material being discharged from the silo. The silo may be further provided with a funnel (16, figure 6) and a compressing device (18, figure 2) to facilitate material removal.

Patent GB-0226331-D0 (GB)
Title: Image analysis
IPC: G06T7/40
Filed: 2002-11-12
Abstract: A method for the automated analysis of digital images, particularly for the purpose of assessing the presence and severity of cancer in breast tissue based on the relative proportions of tubule formations and epithelial cells identified in digital images of histological slides. The method includes the step of generating a property co-occurrence matrix (PCM) from some or all of the pixels in the image, using the properties of local mean and local standard deviation of intensity in neighbourhoods of the selected pixels, and segmenting the image by labelling the selected pixels as belonging to specified classes based upon analysis of the PCM. In this way relatively dark and substantially textured regions representing epithelial cells in the image can be distinguished from lighter and more uniform background regions Other steps include identifying groups of pixels representing duct cells in the image based on intensity, shape and size criteria, dilating those pixels into surrounding groups labelled as epithelial cells by a dimension to correspond to an overall tubule formation, and calculating a metric based on the ratio of the number of duct pixels after such dilation to the total number of duct and epithelial pixels. Other uses for the method could include the analysis of mineral samples containing certain types of crystal formations.

The mask is located at the focal plane of the lens assembly and the slits formed in the mask are angularly divergent from one another.
Patent GB-0717980-D0 (GB)
Title: Product feeding apparatus
Filed: 2007-09-14
Abstract: Automatic feeding machines are commonly used for filling blister packs with items of product such as pharmaceutical dosage forms. These machines are usually designed for the handling of a specific shape and sized product item. Handling of different shaped items requires expensive re-tooling of all the product item contact components. The invention allows a single feeding machine to be quickly configured for use to handling a wide variety of item sizes/shapes. A machine (21) has a tray (36) defining a series of tapered channels (40) and a container (22) slideably mounted above the tray. A wall of the container and the channels together define apertures into each channel through which items of product pass out of the container. Sliding movement of the container across the planar tray surface (38), along and over the channels, allows the size of the apertures to be adjusted depending upon the size of the item of product to be handled, using the same components.

Title: Image encoding & synthesis
IPC: G10L21/06
Filed: 1985-11-14
Abstract: Visual images of the face of a speaker are processed to extract during a learning sequence a still frame of the image and a set of typical mouth shapes. Encoding of a sequence to be transmitted, recorded etc. is then achieved by matching the changing mouth shapes to those of the set and generating codewords identifying them. Alternatively, the codewords may be generated to accompany real or synthetic speech using a look- up table relating speech parameters to codewords. In a receiver, the still frames and set of mouth shapes are stored and received codewords used to select successive mouth shapes to be incorporated in the still frame.

Title: Rotating & alternating piston machine
IPC: F02B33/34
Filed: 1987-04-03
Abstract: The rotating and alternating piston machine is an alternating or free piston machine in which the pistons effect a rotating and alternating movement. Main characteristics: 1) the use of rotation or alternation/rotation, for example in order to control the ports provided in the cylinder walls of two- and four-stroke engines, pumps and compressors; 2) simple conversion of rotating and alternating movement by mechanical or electrical means. The rotating and alternating piston machine offers the possibility of: pumps, including the electric drive, in which there is only one rotating part; direct conversion of the alternating movement of the piston into electrical energy; control of the gas movement by the piston; operation of other ports having specific functions (for example, introducing additional compressed gas, discharge ports operating in succession etc.); free selection of the number of piston strokes per rotation; choice of piston stroke kinematics; powerful rotation or swirling of charge; easily designed compact and inexpensive machines; possible integration of a compressor without having to provide for an additional volume and virtually without any weight increase. In the two-stroke combustion engine, in which the gas exchange is controlled by the pistons (2 and 5), the useful power is available at the central shaft (14), which carries the rotating and alternating piston (2) in a longitudinally-slidable but rotationally-fixed manner. Movement is converted by the oscillating shaft (35) and transmission element (38). The engine is provided with four working chambers and has a 100% mass balance.

Title: Luminesent silicon
IPC: H01L21/306
Filed: 1993-03-10
Abstract: Luminescent silicon incorporating semiconductor quantum wires is made using a semiconductor wafer 14 as starting material. The wafer 14 is weakly doped p type with a shallow heavily doped p layer therein for current flow uniformity purposes. The wafer 14 is anodised in 20% aqueous hydrofluoric acid to produce a layer 5  mu m thick with 70% porosity and good crystallinity. The layer is subsequently etched in concentrated hydrofluoric acid, which provides a slow etch rate. The etch increases porosity to a level in the region of 80% or above. At such a level, pores overlap and isolated quantum wires are expected to form with diameters less than or equal to 3 nm. The etched layer exhibits photoluminescence emission at photon energies well above the silicon bandgap (1.1 eV) and extending into the red region (1.6 - 2.0 eV) of the visible spectrum.

Title: A well data telemetry system
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 1994-09-03
Abstract: A well data telemetry system for transmitting data along at least a part of a well bore 2 containing tubing of magnetically permeable material comprises a transmitting coil 9 located to transmit a magnetic flux signal along the tubing and/or the surrounding geological formations, modulation circuitry connected to the coil 9 for modulating the magnetic flux signal in response to a data signal, and an a.c. magnetometer 10 located to detect and respond to the magnetic flux signal at a position spaced from the transmitting coil 3. By using an a.c. magnetometer instead of a conventional receiver coil to detect and respond to the magnetic flux signal, the system is capable of responding to the low levels of signal which are likely to be received in practice. Furthermore, the response of the a.c. magnetometer is independent of frequency so that the system may be used at low frequencies as well as high frequencies and demodulation of the transmitted signal can be effected without difficulty. <MATH>
