IPC: C02F3/00
Filed: 2006-10-24
Abstract: Double-sided, self-cleansing media, and systems incorporating the same for a rotating biological contactor, are described. The media include a disk having cone- shaped members extending perpendicularly from both major faces thereof.  Two or more disks lock together, axially about a rotating central shaft, by connecting cone- shaped members spaced throughout the disk surface having a socket at their base to receive the top of the corresponding connecting cone-shaped member on the adjacent disk. The cone-shaped members, by virtue of their length, space the disks a desired distance. Disk segments can link to one another along either straight and/or curved connection portions thereof.  The geometry of the media provides free passage of the air and water during each revolution, and while the base disk slices through the air and water, the projecting cone-shaped members enter the air and water perpendicular to the direction of rotation and are washed clear of excess biomass during each rotation.

Title: Method and apparatus for measuring skin texture
Inventor: COTTON SYMON
IPC: A61B5/103
Filed: 2008-06-17
Abstract: An area of skin (2) is illuminated by a light source (3) via a polarizing filter (4). Red and infra-red images of the illuminated skin (2) are then obtained by a digital camera (1) via a second polarizing filter (5) arranged to filter visible light having the same polarity as light passing through the first polarizing filter (4). These images are then processed by a computer (6) which utilises the detected levels of red light and a model of the interaction of light with melanin to determine expected levels of infra-red light returned by the illuminated area of skin (2) in the absence of surface reflections.  A surface map indicative of skin texture is then determined based of the differences between the estimated levels of infra-red light returned by the illuminated area of skin (2) in the absence of surface reflections and the detected levels of infra-red light detected by the camera (1).
