Title: Method of testing an organic sample
Inventor: THOMPSON MAURICE WILLIAM
IPC: C12Q1/06
Filed: 2007-04-17
Abstract: A method of testing an organic sample to provide an indication of the level of bacteria and/or number of somatic cells present in the sample, the method including collecting the sample and contacting the sample with a reagent which reacts with ATP to produce light emissions, and subsequently, at the beginning of a measurement period, contacting the sample with an extractant in the presence of the reagent, the extractant rupturing cells present in the sample to release cell-bound ATP to react with the reagent to produce light emissions, and immediately after contacting the sample with the extractant, detecting the light emissions with a light detecting device, and the method includes during an initial measurement period immediately after contacting the sample with the extractant, detecting the level of light emissions, and in a subsequent measurement period, detecting the level of light emissions, statistically analysing the detected values to determine a rate of change of light emissions during the subsequent measurement period, due to cell-bound ATP being released and reacting with the reagent, and at least where the thus determined rate of change of light emissions indicates a level of bacteria and/or somatic cells in the sample above a threshold, generating a signal. The organic sample may be collected on a dipstick apparatus.

Title: Determining trust levels for data sources
Inventor: GOVER TIM
IPC: G06F21/60
Filed: 2007-06-28
Abstract: A method and system wherein any type of communications application using any type of data source identifier can have a trust level determined for that identifier. In dependence on the trust level which is determined, the application may take action such as alerting the user to the sort of data which may be exchanged with the data source, and/or blocking access to and from the data source. A database is maintained of data source identifiers and their associated trust levels. This database may be queried by any type of communications application. To maintain integrity of the trust levels assigned to data sources in the database, information is imported into the trust level database on the basis of the authenticity of that data having been validated by having the data signed by a trusted third party digital signature, the public key for which is stored on the data communications device which uses the embodiment. Examples of data source identifiers include URL, URI, IP addresses, MAC addresses, phone numbers etc.

Title: Bladed rotor balancing
Inventor: HARRISON JOHN MICHAEL
IPC: F04D29/32
Filed: 2007-07-13
Abstract: The inertial properties of a rotating component (such as a gas turbine engine rotor eg. of the type in which the blades and disc are integral) are adjusted by introducing material (such as syntactic foam) into a cavity defined in a first portion (such as a fan blade) of the component. The component may be balanced by introducing material into diametrically opposed portions (such as respective fan blades) of the component, the configurations of the material being varied to provide the portions with different respective inertial properties. The portions of the component may each have a plurality of cavities, which may be selectively filled, or different material configurations may be achieved by varying the quantity or density of the material used (eg. by varying the proportions of different phases within the material or by pressurizing the material to different extents).

Title: Modelling a supply chain planning problem as a hierarchical linear programming objective.
Inventor: MOORKANAT JAYAN
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2008-03-10
Abstract: A method of optimizing supply chain planning problems associated with a supply chain network comprises: accessing data describing the flow of items through the supply chain network and constraints associated with supply chain entities (120); and modelling a supply chain planning problem as a hierarchical linear programming objective based on the accessed data and constraints. Each level of the hierarchical linear programming objective may be associated with an objective function, modelled as a business goal for a supply chain entity. For each level in the hierarchy, the method further involves splitting the planning problem into a master-problem and a sub-problem; decomposing the sub-problem into independent sub-problems; and solving the master problem and the independent sub-problems independently. A column generation technique may be used to solve each level. A supply chain plan is generated by converging the solved master problem and each of the solved independent sub problems into the plan. The plan may be communicated to supply chain entities.

Title: Injecting ions into the magnetic field of an ion cyclotron resonance mass analyser
Inventor: NIKOLAEV EVGENIJ
IPC: H01J49/38
Filed: 2008-04-09
Abstract: The invention relates to the true-to-quantity introduction of ions of a wide mass range into a very strong magnetic field in the direction along the magnetic field lines to an ion storage device 5 located therein, for example a measuring cell in an ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer. The invention consists mainly in guiding the ions, relatively free of losses, through the increase in the magnetic field with the aid of an ion guide 18 comprising a plurality of coaxial ring diaphragms or comprising a double helix, wherein adjacent ring diaphragms or, respectively, both helices of the double helix are supplied with different phases of an RF voltage. In contrast to multipole rod systems, the forced oscillations of ions in the pseudopotential created within ion guide 18 are imposed in the direction of the magnetic field lines, thereby avoiding the excitation of cyclotron motion.

Title: Apparatus and method for reducing torsion in a pipeline when laying pipe on the sea floor
Inventor: TAME JONATHAN RICHARD
IPC: F16L1/19
Filed: 2008-08-15
Abstract: When laying pipe from a pipelay vessel into the sea, the pipe is subject to torsion. To relieve this torsion an apparatus to perform controlled relative rotation between the pipe and the vessel is proposed, which apparatus is also able to permit the pipelay vessel to "weather vane" about the pipe without twisting it. The apparatus comprises a hold off clamp 2 with clamping means 3 which is mounted within a housing 5 via means allowing the controlled relative rotation, such as thrust bearings 4. The housing 5 is mounted to the vessel 6, and the clamping means 3 are clamped to the pipe 1. A brake assembly 12 and drive means 13 capable of providing a predetermined rotation and torsional damping may be provided, in order to enable controlled relative rotation of the clamping means 3 within the housing 5. With the pipe 1 secured in the clamping means 3, controlled relative rotation can be achieved for torsion relief, or weather vaning of the pipelay vessel about the pipe 1 can be achieved.
