Patent GB-0006893-D0 (GB)
Title: Localisation of a signal emitting source
IPC: G01S5/18
Filed: 2000-03-23
Abstract: A source localising method comprises the steps of measuring the power received by a set of sensors and selecting N measurements from respective sensors, where N is an even number and at least four. N-1 different direct power ratios are constructed each derived from the N power measurements, with different numerators and denominators derived from respective halves of the measurements in each case. The construction of N-1 direct power ratios is facilitated by the use of a suitably constructed Hadamard matrix. Each direct power ratio may be converted with a logarithmic transformation into a linear combination of measured powers.

Patent GB-0605456-D0 (GB)
Title: Apparatus and method for fluid flow measurement with sensor shielding
IPC: G01F/
Filed: 2004-09-30
Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for detecting radial flows of conductive fluid are provided. In an embodiment of the present invention, shields are used to prevent or reduce circulating electrical currents from causing a voltage difference that would adversely affect the measured voltage difference between two adjacent electrodes. The shields may be a conduit through which conductive fluid may flow. Groups of sensors, e.g., two or more, may be placed within the shield. The shields may have any cross-section shape. Generally, once the circulating electrical current flow between the electrode pairs is substantially reduced or eliminated, only the voltage difference from the localized induced electric field remains. This way, a true induced voltage may be measured, and thus an accurate value for the fluid velocity may be determined.

Title: Device for controlling the flow of foam
IPC: B03D1/14
Filed: 1989-03-02
Abstract: A device for controlling the flow of foam for use in separating mineral particles from ore wherein an expandable container (9) receives foam at the rapid flow rate of a foam generator until the expandable container is substantially full of foam and then to dispense the foam at a lower flow rate by applying a pressurized gas to gradually push the foam out of the container. The container may be defined by a bellows or a cylinder (10) variable in volume by a piston (12). In operation foam supplied by a generator (8) flows into the container (9) through an opened solenoid valve (32). As the container fills with foam, gas previously admitted to a chamber (11) is discharged through a solenoid valve (36) until the container is filled, at which time a switch (40) is actuated. The switch causes the valves (32, 36) to close and a valve (34) to open so that pressurised gas from a source (22) collapses the container and expels the foam through a nozzle (50). <IMAGE>

IPC: A61K49/00
Filed: 1993-07-30
Abstract: Magnetite particles suitable for injection into the blood stream of patients having enhanced resistance against agglomeration and uptake by the RES of the liver and spleen. The particles essentially consist of an iron oxide core and a phosphoric acid mono alkyl or alkenyl ester or glycerophospholipid/surfactant three dimensional shell surrounding the core. The core and the monoester or a micellar glycerophospholipid form an urchin-like structure which is further interlaced or intertwined with a non-ionic surfactant to produce a protective three dimensional shell which renders particles almost undetectable by the macrophages. Particles prepared according to the invention are kept in the blood circulation for long periods and represent excellent long lasting blood pool agents. Key components in the shell are (a) a polybasic mineral-organic species such as glycero phosphatidic acid in micellar form and (b) a block copolymer having successive hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments.
