Title: Atomiser assembly
Inventor: GRAHAM GASKIN
IPC: B05B17/06
Filed: 2015-09-17
Abstract: A compact apparatus 10 for atomisation of fluid samples comprises a sonotrode 11, placed so that an ultrasonic wave emitted by the sonotrode is directed through a channel 25 and reflected by a high-low impedance transition zone, so that a standing wave is formed within the channel. A positive air flow through the channel, driven by a pressure differential at each end of the channel, interacts with the working fluid or slurry being delivered to the apparatus to atomise it. The speed of the air flow and the dispersal, homogeneity, and size of particles in the slurry sample can be controlled by varying the shape of the channel outlet. The displacement between the sonotrode and the channel outlet approaches a multiple of n(λ/4), where n is an odd number. A method of generating a dispersion of particles using an atomiser is also claimed.

Title: Methods and systems for granting partial or full access to an application based on level of confidence that print corresponds to user profile
Inventor: WALTER R KLAPPERT
IPC: H04N21/658
Filed: 2015-10-28
Abstract: A methods determines whether full or partial access to an application should be given by detecting a presence of a print associated with a user body part (e.g. fingerprint); identifying a user profile corresponding to the detected print; determining a level of confidence (e.g. a number or ration of characteristics that match a user profile entry, or different portions of a body part) that the print corresponds to the user profile. Full access to an application (e.g. utilising feature of a users profile) is given if the level of confidence exceeds the first threshold, and in response to determining not to provide the user full access to the application based partial user partial access to the application is given if level of confidence to a second threshold, exceeds a second threshold. Thus e.g. full or partial access to an application can be granted based on whether a full fingerprint or a partial fingerprint (finger tip) is detected. Additional functions may also be invoked depending on whether only a portion of a finger is detected by a fingerprint scanner rather than a full finger.
