Abstract: The method comprises providing a time-to-digital converter with a measurement period (3) for registration of events (1), and selecting time intervals of independent durations (4), each of the durations being independent of the registration of events. At each registration of an event, the time-to-digital converter is blocked from further registration for one of the time intervals of independent duration. Thus the recorded lengths of the time intervals (11, 13, 14, 16) corresponding to the occurrence of the events within each measurement period are uniformly distributed and a time-domain bias is avoided. The time-to-digital converter circuit includes a controlled gate for blocking the time-to-digital converter.

Abstract: The present invention describes an improved pasteurisation protocol for pasteurising microbial cells is disclosed. The protocol has three stages, a first heating stage, a second plateau stage at which the cells are held at a (maximum and) constant temperature, and a third cooling stage. Both the heating and the cooling stages are rapid, with the temperature of the cells passing through 40 to 70°C in no more than 30 minutes in the heating stage. The heating rate is at least 0.5°C/minute and during cooling is at least -0.5°C/minute. The plateau maximum temperature is from 70 to 85°C. By plotting the pasteurisation protocol on a time (t, minutes) versus temperature (T, °C) graph, one obtains a trapezium having an area less than 13,000°C.minute. Not only does this result in a smaller energy input (and so a reduction in costs), but a better quality (and less oxidised) oil results having a peroxide value (POV) of less than 1.5 and an anisidine value (AnV) of less than 1.0.

Abstract: There is provided a surgical fixing tool which can easily and reliably perform treatment such as vascular anastomosis by inhibiting an operation site on a surface of a living body such as a heart and the like from moving along a height direction of the surface of the living body in response to movements of the living body. 
     The surgical fixing tool 1 includes a support unit 10 which exposes an area required for a living body local site and which surrounds at least a portion of the local site so as to be contacted and fixed thereto. The surgical fixing tool 1 includes a position adjusting unit 50 that is disposed in the support unit 10, and that adjusts a relative position between the support unit 10 and the fixed living body local site, for example, a local site P of a heart H, and a displacement position detection unit 80 that detects a displacement position where the local site P is displaced in a height direction (direction Z). Based on a detection result of the displacement position in the height direction (direction Z) of the local site P which is detected by the displacement position detection unit 80, the position adjusting unit 50 changes and adjusts a relative position between the support unit 10 and the fixed local site P.

Abstract: Methods are provided for manufacturing shape-retaining non-flat devices comprising elements such as components integrated on a device surface, the non-flat devices being made by deformation of a flat device. Based on the layout of a non-flat device, a layout of a flat device is first designed. A method for designing the layout of such a flat device is provided, wherein the method includes inserting mechanical interconnections between pairs of elements to unambiguously define the position of the elements on a surface of the non-flat device, thus leaving zero or less degrees of freedom for the location of the components. Based on the layout of a flat device thus obtained, the flat device is manufactured and next transformed into the shape-retaining non-flat device by means of a thermoforming process, thereby accurately and reproducibly positioning the elements at a predetermined location on a surface of the non-flat device.
