Abstract: An underwater electrical or optical connector assembly has a plug unit containing at least one contact element in a bore within the plug body and a receptacle unit containing at least one contact element in a bore aligned with the plug bore when the two parts are mated together. Each of the bores terminates in an enlarged, recessed seat at the front or mating face of the respective unit, and a seal member is movably mounted in each seat. Each seal member has a through bore aligned with the respective bores in the two units when in an open position, and offset from the contact element bores in a closed position so as to seal the bores until the parts are connected. Portions of each seal member project outwardly from the front face to make a good seal when the two front faces are pushed together. The seal members are actuated to move from the closed position to the open position automatically as the two units are mated, and the contact element in the plug unit then extends out of the plug body through the aligned seal member through bores and into the receptacle bore to contact the corresponding receptacle contact element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for assessing simulated biological dissolution of a pharmaceutical formulation and absorption of a pharmaceutically active compound therefrom. The system comprises a dissolution chamber and a cell culture chamber. Within the dissolution chamber, the dissolution profile of the pharmaceutical formulation (or drug) is determined. Within the cell culture chamber, the pharmaceutically active compound may be absorbed and transported by a cell monolayer. The cell culture chamber includes a tubular filter which is permeable to medium and capable of supporting the cell monolayer on its interior surface. Insertion of the filter into the cell culture chamber housing forms an apical chamber interior of the filter, and a basal chamber between the filter and the wall of the housing. The filter rotates about an axis within the housing substantially parallel to the direction of media flow through the cell culture chamber. The medium flowing from the dissolution chamber contains the pharmaceutical formulation and is provided to the apical chamber. The rate of appearance of the pharmaceutically active compound in the medium outflowing from the basal chamber may be analysed to determine absorption of the pharmaceutically active compound.

Abstract: Light detection apparatus for determining the location of a body within a predetermined area comprises at least two light detecting devices (10,10',10''), supported on the body and capable of receiving light at points which are spaced about a central axis (8). The apparatus further includes means for supplying information representative of the level of light detected by each light detecting device (10, 10', 10''). Information received from the light detection apparatus is compared with information previously received from the light detection apparatus and stored in a memory so as to identify when the light detected by the light detection apparatus is the same or substantially the same as light previously detected by the light detection apparatus. When used on an autonomous vehicle, this can allow the vehicle to determine when it has returned to a similar position in an area. The received light signals can be filtered or processed to derive information representative of different types of light (natural, incandescent) or colours of light.
