Title: Conversion of X-Ray intensity distribution data
Inventor: ITO KAZUKI
IPC: G01N23/04
Filed: 2013-07-15
Abstract: An X-ray analysis apparatus converts an X-ray intensity distribution of discrete data determined for each pixel, from a first plane where the distribution is known into a second plane where the distribution is not known. The apparatus projects onto the second plane, a grid point which specifies a pixel on the first plane and an intermediate point between the grid points, as nodes S2, calculates an area of a region where a polygon expressing a projected pixel specified by the projected nodes overlaps with each pixel on the second plane S3, to thereby calculate an occupancy ratio of the polygon expressing the projected pixel to each pixel on the second plane S4 and distributes X-ray intensity in the pixel on the first plane to the pixel on the second plane based on the occupancy ratio, to thereby convert the X-ray intensity distribution S6.

Title: Pressure relief valve arrangement for pressure vessels
Inventor: SIMPKINS MICHAEL
IPC: F17C13/04
Filed: 2014-04-16
Abstract: A pressure relief valve (1,fig.1) features a piston 4 between an inlet 2 and outlet 6, and a chamber 3, with a bleed line either in the piston (30,fig.1) or an external housing 40, which puts the inlet 2 and the chamber 3 in fluid communication with each other. In thisÂ manner variations in internal pressure will not cause the valve (1,fig.1) to vent, as the chamber 3, equalises the pressure on the top side of the piston 4, to that on the bottom side of the piston 4. Under conditions of substantial internal overpressure, the piston 4 moves into the chamber 3, as can be seen in the transition from fig.2 to fig.3, fluid in the chamber 3 escaping via the bleed line 40 and/or around the sides of the piston 4. The valve (1,fig.1) may accommodate the pressure differentials of the device travelling at alternate altitudes, for example by lorry or by plane, without venting, whilst still permitting venting under conditions of substantially increased internal pressure.

Abstract: A (computer implemented) questionnaire for differentiating between meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and other causes of ocular discomfort (e.g. tear film instability (TFI)) comprises presenting questions 10 to a patient. Patient responses 12 are compared 14 with reference data comprising probabilistic relationships between symptoms and conditions associated with ocular discomfort. The questionnaire differentiates between MGD and other causes of ocular discomfort by comparing 14 the patient data 12 and reference data to formulate a diagnosis 16 by identifying a condition most commonly associated with symptoms in the reference data that most closely match the patient data 12. After diagnosis 16 a treatment plan 18 is generated.
