Title: Method of obtaining an indicator of patient sepsis and apparatus for such a method
Inventor: CHRISTOPH HEROLD
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2018-07-12
Abstract: Imaging blood samples to obtain images of individual blood cells; obtaining optical properties of leukocytes within the image; comparing the optical properties with reference values; and using the comparison to obtain an indicator of patient sepsis. A device for performing the imaging is also claimed. In embodiments blood samples are flushed through a 20 micrometer squared channel for cell imaging. The optical properties analysed are preferably the average (median) brightness of cell image pixels or the standard deviation (sd) in brightness of cell image pixels. The average or sd associated to different cell subpopulations of leukocytes is calculated and certain differences in these average/sd values are highly correlated (very small Kendall’s tau p-value) with determined PCT levels in the sample and so serve as an indicator for sepsis or blood poisoning. Most preferably, neutrophil granulocytes are compared to monocytes (Figs 9, 11) or lymphocytes (Fig 10), averages for neutrophil granulocytes (Fig 2) or eosinophil granulocytes (Fig 4) are compared to an average background brightness, and sd of neutrophil granulocytes (Fig 6), monocytes (Fig 7), or eosinophil granulocytes (Fig 8) are considered. The linear regression slope of average brightness divided by area of neutrophil granulocytes is another good indicator (Fig 12).

Title: Method of balancing a rotor
Inventor: STEVE FOWLER
IPC: G01M1/32
Filed: 2019-01-02
Abstract: The unbalance of a first rotor (eg propshaft/driveshaft/Cardan shaft) in at least a first balancing plane is measured in balancing machine 10 and a balancing weight for correcting the unbalance, calculated using a stored calibration value determined from a calibration/balancing process performed on a second rotor, is attached to the first rotor at a calculated angular position of the first balancing plane. The effect of the attached balancing weight is determined by re-measuring the unbalance of the rotor with the determined effect stored as a modified/updated calibration value. If the unbalance of the first rotor is not corrected by the attachment of the balancing weight, a further balancing weight for correcting the unbalance is calculated using the modified/updated calibration value and attached to the first rotor with the unbalance of the first rotor again re-measured. The unbalance of the rotor may be measured and corrected in first and second balancing planes.

By identifying one or more features in the first-motion-data and similar respective features in the second-motion-data, a time-offset between the first and second timing information may be derived. The first sensor data, motion data and timing information may be associated with a 3D camera whereas the second sensor data, motion data and timing information may be associated with imaging, radio frequency, gas or temperature related data. The first and second motion data may each comprise acceleration data. The invention eliminates the need for any direct hardware interaction or compatibility between the first and second sensor systems.

Title: Optimising operating conditions in an abatement apparatus
Inventor: MICHAEL COLIN GRAHAM
IPC: F23G7/06
Filed: 2019-09-26
Abstract: An abatement apparatus (10, Fig. 2) treats an effluent stream containing perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) from a process tool. An operating parameter which controls the apparatus is changed at step S4 and a change of PFC concentration in an exhaust stream of the apparatus is measured at S5. At steps S6 & S7 it is determined whether to retain the operating parameter based on the change in PFC concentration. An initial PFC concentration may be measured at S3. The operating condition may be the operating temperature or the oxidising/reducing environment of the apparatus. The apparatus may have an abatement chamber (30, Fig. 2). The operating parameter may be a power supplied to heat the chamber, a plasma supplied to the chamber, or an oxidant or fuel amount supplied to the chamber. A PFC concentration profile of a processing cycle may be determined before changing the operating parameter. The optimisation may be done iteratively by repeating the steps of changing the operating parameter and determining the change in PFC concentration.
