container neck on filling of the containers. 
     A closure assembly comprises a plug 4 adapted to be inserted into the
neck 1 of a container to effect an aseptic seal with the container neck 1
and a cap 11 comprising a skirt 13 provided with formations 12 that are
adapted to co-operate with complementary formations 2 provided on the
container neck 1. The cap 11 and the neck formations 2 are so arranged
that the cap 11 can be turned from a fully applied condition to a release
position for removal of the cap 11 from the neck 1, the plug 4 being

Title: Detection of odours using insects
Inventor: DAVIS PAUL JAMES
IPC: G01N33/00
Filed: 2002-12-20
Abstract: Apparatus for detecting a specific target odour comprises: a detector unit adapted to have removably associated therewith a holding unit for housing at least one insect in a predetermined position; means for exposing an insect in a holding unit associated with the detector unit to a sample of gas to be tested; and means for enabling monitoring of a response of the insect to the sample thereby to detect a response indicative of the target odour. In use of the apparatus, a holding unit housing at lest one insect that responds in a detectable manner to the target odour is associated with the detector unit. A sample of gas to be tested is supplied to the apparatus, for exposure to the insect or insects in the holding unit. The insect is monitored for a response indicative of the target odour, thus enabling determination as to whether or not the target odour is present in the sample. Because the holding unit is not part of the detector unit but is removably associated with therewith, the holding unit can be used to transport an insect or insects housed therein from a first, remote location, e.g. where insects are raised and conditioned, to a point of use at a second location where the detector unit is located. The detector unit may be a permanent or semi-permanent fixture at a point of use, or may be in the form of a portable unit. Also disclosed is a method of detecting a specific target odour.

Abstract: A semiconductor device having guard grooves uniformly
filled with a semiconductor filler is provided. The four
corners of a rectangular ring-shaped guard groove meet at
right angles, and outer and inner auxiliary diffusion regions
both rounded are connected to the four corners. Since the

Abstract: A device and method provide for improved error
compensation in the measurement of process pressure. The
device and method are able to compensate for diaphragm
deformation (offset) and varying dielectric constants
present in a process field environment. The pressure sensor
(56), filled with a dielectric fill-fluid (95), includes at
least three capacitor plates (144, 146, 148, 150), disposed
about a diaphragm (102). At least two capacitor plates
(144, 146) are placed on one side of a conductive diaphragm
(102), and one capacitor plate (148, 150) is placed on the
other side of the diaphragm (102). The method compensates
for both diaphragm offset and variances in the dielectric
constant of the fill-fluid (95). An error compensated
measurement of differential pressure is a function of the
amount of diaphragm deflection detected at the edge region
(194) subtracted from the amount of diaphragm deflection
detected at the center region (140). One way of measuring
diaphragm deflection is to measure the changes in
capacitances from two capacitors on each side of the
diaphragm (102), and to combine these values to achieve an
error compensated output (R) representative of the applied
differential pressure.

Abstract: A system and method are provided to conserve power consumption in a portable device
having a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen with a backlight. The backlight provides light to
support visibility of the LCD screen in low light conditions. A detector is used to identify an amount
of ambient light that is incident to the LCD screen. Power generally provided to the backlight is
modulated based on the amount of ambient light detected. As more ambient light is detected, less
power is provided to the backlight. Power is conserved in the portable device by only providing
enough power to the backlight to support the amount of ambient light available.
