Title: Corrosion assessment apparatus and method
Filed: 2011-03-22
Abstract: A method of analysing the corrosion levels on a surface of a structure comprises the steps of capturing and analysing video images of the structure. The step of analysing each image comprises selecting 56 an area of interest within an image, assigning 60 a value corresponding to colour properties to each pixel within the area of interest, and calculating 62 an average value for the area of interest.

IPC: G08B13/18
Filed: 1981-02-19
Granted: 1985-02-07
Abstract: A supervisory assembly incorporates a sensing means operatively associated with a TV set, so that one of the options available to the user is that when the sensing means detects someone it responds by altering the TV output. For example it may blank the screen, cut the TV power supply, or use the TV to make an alarm noise. 
<??>The sensing means has a detecting device (1), the output of which passes through a signal processing circuit (2) so as to operate a switch element (4). The switch element can operate a TV control means (6), to affect the TV output. Other, conventional, alarms (5,7) may also be operated by the switch element (4). 
<??>The assembly has use as a burglar alarm, and also for warning that someone is closer to the TV than a safe watching distance. In the latter case it is useful if the assembly's response is delayed slightly, so as to prevent it from giving the alarm when e.g. someone changes TV channel. 
<??>The sensing means may operate by emitting a signal (eg. ultrasonic) and detecting any reflection of it.

Title: Enzyme chromatographic immunoassay
Inventor: ZUK ROBERT F
IPC: C12Q1/26
Filed: 1983-07-14
Granted: 1986-11-13
Abstract: Chromatographic immunoassay employing a specific binding pair member and a label conjugate which delineates a border whose distance from one end of the chromatograph relates to the amount of analyte present. By combining the label conjugate and sample in a solution and immunochromatographing the solution, or employing a combination of enzymes, one enzyme being the label and the other enzyme affixed to the chromatographic support, the position of the border defined by the label can be related to the amount of analyte in the sample solution. Preferably, an immunochromatograph is employed having both a specific binding pair member and an enzyme affixed to the support. A sample is chromatographed and the amount of analyte is determined by (1) contacting the chromatograph with a second enzyme conjugated with a specific binding pair member which binds to the chromatograph in proportion to the amount of analyte bound to the chromatograph, or (2) including the second enzyme conjugate with said sample, resulting in a defined border related to the amount of analyte in the sample. The two enzymes are related in that the substrate of one is the product of the other, so that upon contact of the chromatograph with appropriate reagents, a detectable signal develops which permits detection of the border to which the analyte traveled. This distance can be related to the amount of analyte present in the sample.
