Abstract: A single photon emission computed tomography system produces multiple tomographic images of the type representing a three-dimensional distribution of a photon-emitting radioisotope. The system has a base including a patient support for supporting a patient such that a portion of the patient is located in a field of view. A longitudinal axis is defined through the field of view.  A detector module is adjacent the field of view and includes a photon-responsive detector. The detector is operable to detect if a photon strikes the detector. A photon-blocking member is positioned between the field of view and the detector. The blocking member has an aperture slot for passage of photons aligned with the aperture slot. A line of response is defined from the detector through the aperture. A collimating assembly includes a plurality of generally parallel collimating vanes formed of a photon attenuating material.  The vanes are spaced apart so as to find a plurality of gaps, with the gaps each having a height. Each of the vanes has a front edge directed toward the field of view and a back edge directed towards the detector. The front-to-back depth of each of the vanes is greater than 10 times the height of the gaps.  The plurality of vanes is disposed between the detector and the field of view such that only photons passing through one of the gaps can travel from the field of view to the detector. A displacement device moves either the detector module or the photon-blocking member relative to the other so that the aperture is displaced relative to the detector and the line of response is swept across at least a portion of the field of view.

Abstract: A system (1) for detecting collusion in a game having a plurality of participating players comprises means for recording (14,20), for each player, an amount wagered (17) on each turn of the game in which the player participates, and a corresponding outcome of said wager. A ranking facility (21) operable to derive a tertiary statistic for each pair of participating players, the tertiary statistic being a function of the cumulative wagers by each player in the pair in all turns of the game in which both players have wagered, and the cumulative outcomes of the wagers made by each player in the same turns of the game. A monitoring means (22) monitores the tertiary statistic of each pair of players and generating an output when the tertiary statistic exceeds a predetermined threshold, the output being an indicator of possible collusion by the respective pair of players.

Abstract: The present invention provides an investigation device for investigating a sample of a solid, liquid or gaseous medium. The device has a transmission mechanism capable of sending several transmitted signals of different frequencies and a receiving mechanism for receiving received signals corresponding to the various transmitted signals. The device further includes a processing mechanism for determining the phase shift of each pair of transmitted and received signals and computationally determining a qualifying value for the sample. The processing mechanism determines the qualifying value based on a comparison of the determined phase shift values with comparison phase shift values from a comparison sample intended for the respective transmitter frequencies.  By using the frequency-specific scanning of the sample at multiple frequencies, the resulting determination of the frequency-specific phase angle shifts provides a substantially more accurate investigation of the sample, including when a change in the sample can result in different effects on the respective frequency-specific transmitted signals.
