Title: Process and apparatus for the separation of the components of a liquid mixture
Inventor: Somlyai Gábor 
IPC: B01D59/22
Filed: 2012-08-13
Abstract: Disclosed is a process and an apparatus for the separation of liquid components having different boiling points (distillation). From a liquid outlet tap (3), liquid is taken from the liquid tank (1) to a liquid pump (12) which feeds the water to a bubble generator (13) that is feed with a carrier gas (15). The liquid taken from the out let (3) is reintroduced into the liquid tank (1) via a liquid inlet (2) with bubbles that have a diameter of 5-200 µm to increase the liquid-vapour interface area and allow rapid concentration of the more volatile component in the air space of the bubble thereby separating the components within the liquid phase itself. After said bubbles leave the liquid phase (7), the released vapour content of the bubbles are condensed (9) and collected (11) and the obtained liquid enriched in the more volatile component(s) is separated from the carrier gas (29).

Title: Biosensors for biological or chemical analysis and methods of manufacturing the same
Inventor: ZHONG CHENG
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 2014-12-09
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a biosensor (102, 400) for use in a system (100) which employs fluorescent detection devices for biological or chemical analysis. In some conventional fluorescent-detection systems an optical system is used to direct an excitation light onto biological or chemical samples and to also detect the fluorescent signals that may emit from those samples. However, in some systems it may be challenging for light sensors to distinguish the fluorescent emissions from the excitation light when the excitation light is also directed toward the light sensors. In some systems it is also challenging to manage or account for unwanted light emissions from adjacent sample receptacles (e.g. crosstalk). The biosensor includes a device base having a sensor array of light sensors and a guide array of light guides. The light guides have input regions that are configured to receive excitation light and light emissions generated by biological or chemical substances. The light guides extend into the device base toward corresponding light sensors and have a filter material. The device base includes device circuitry electrically coupled to the light sensors and configured to transmit data signals. The biosensor also includes a shield layer having apertures that are positioned relative to the input regions of corresponding light guides such that the light emissions propagate through the apertures into the corresponding input regions. The shield layer extends between adjacent apertures and is configured to block the excitation light and the light emissions incident on the shield layer between the adjacent apertures – i.e. preventing crosstalk of light between adjacent sample receptacles.

Title: Apparatus and methods for excreta detection and treatment
Inventor: GEOFFREY JAMES BATES
IPC: A01B79/00
Filed: 2013-11-04
Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus for travelling over a ground surface, the apparatus including a non-contact magnetic induction sensor with transmit and receiving coils for detecting an area of the ground surface (or sub-ground surface) which has had a deposition of excreta, and treatment means for treating the area with at least one substance. The apparatus may preferably be automated. In a preferred embodiment, the excreta being detected may be cattle urine and the substance(s) used to treat the area of deposition of urine may be a nitrification inhibitor and/or a urease inhibitor.

Title: An apparatus and a method for performing a standard penetration test
Inventor: INNES MURRAY
IPC: G01N3/48
Filed: 2016-09-15
Abstract: The standard penetration test (SPT) is a dynamic in situ test which is used to provide information regarding the properties of soil. In general terms, the SPT involves driving a sampler into the ground a standard test distance by dropping a hammer having a standard hammer weight from a standard drop height in order to advance the sampler. The number of blows of the hammer (i.e., the blow count) which are required to advance the sampler the standard test distance is recorded in three equal distance increments. The sum of the blow counts within the second and third distance increments is the “N” value. There are many potential sources of error in a typical SPT, including accurately and consistently determining the distance increments, accurately and consistently recording the blow count, and consistently dropping the hammer from the correct drop height. It is desired to address or ameliorate one or more of the potential sources of error associated with prior techniques for performing a typical SPT, or to at least provide a useful alternative thereto through the embodiments disclosed herein. Some embodiments relate to a system for performing a standard penetration test, including a hammer assembly with a hammer and a hammer lifting device, an elevator assembly for raising and lowering the hammer assembly, a hammer sensor for sensing a position of the hammer within the hammer assembly, and an elevator sensor for sensing a position of the hammer assembly relative to the elevator assembly. Some embodiments relate to a method for performing a standard penetration test, including positioning a hammer assembly at a hammer assembly ready position, sensing with an elevator sensor a reference position of a hammer assembly relative to the elevator assembly, sensing with a hammer sensor a zero position of a hammer, lifting the hammer with a hammer lifting device from the zero position to a drop position of the hammer, sensing with the hammer sensor the drop position, and dropping the hammer onto an anvil.
