Title: Improvements in and relating to particle detectors
Inventor: CULLEN GARY PAUL
IPC: G01N27/60
Filed: 1998-03-27
Abstract: A particle detector for detecting particles flowing in a duct, comprising a first triboelectric probe 5 for detecting the particles and a second triboelectric probe 3 for detecting a signal generated by contaminants on the particle detector. The presence of signal-generating contaminants on the particle detector will result in an error signal on the first probe and a signal on the second probe. Therefore the presence of a signal on the second probe will indicate that the signal appearing on the first probe includes an error signal. If the ratio of the magnitude of the signal generated on the second probe to the magnitude of the signal generated on the first probe exceeds a certain pre-defined limit then cleaning of the detector will be required.

Title: Imaging using a contrast agent
Inventor: YOUNG IAN ROBERT
IPC: A61B5/055
Filed: 1998-04-25
Abstract: When imaging a region of a patient using a contrast agent, for example in magnetic resonance imaging apparatus including a superconducting magnet 2, it is usual to take an image before and after injection of a contrast agent from an injector 5 into the patient. The invention provides a second injector 8 which contains a sample of the patient's blood or saline or other injectable medium which leads directly to the region of interest being imaged in the patient via a catheter 9, which has an expandible tip which can be expanded to block off the vessel in question. The injector can then be used to inject a bolus of injectable medium into the region of interest, whereupon a further image can be taken, and the catheter can be collapsed to unblock the vein whereupon an image in the presence of the contrast agent can be taken. This enables a second pair of images of the region of interest without and with contrast agent to be prepared, and this can be useful when detecting small blood flows to enable additional sensitivity to be achieved.

Title: Vector register addressing
Inventor: HINDS CHRISTOPHER NEAL
IPC: G06F17/16
Filed: 1999-03-08
Abstract: A floating point unit 26 is provided with a register bank 38 comprising 32 registers that may be used as either vector registers V or scalar registers S. Data values are transferred between memory and the registers within the register bank 38 using contiguous block memory access instructions. Vector processing instructions specify an sequence of processing operations to be performed upon data values within a sequence of registers. The register address is incremented between each operation by an amount controlled by a stride value. Accordingly, the register address can be incremented by values such as 0, 1, 2 or 4 between each iteration. This provides a mechanism for retaining block memory access instructions to contiguous memory addresses whilst supporting vector matrix and/or complex operations in which the data values needed for each iteration are not adjacent to one another in the memory.

Title: Coding process circuit for signal
Inventor: KAZUMI MASABUMI
IPC: H04N5/45
Filed: 1981-01-28
Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent deterioration of picture due to noise, by additionally providing the 1st filter stage emphasizing high frequency signal and the 2nd filter stage for high frequency suppression with inverse characteristics to the front and back of A/D and D/A conversion circuits for digital coding. CONSTITUTION:In a coding process circuit of Pin PTV (picture in picture) in which a screen shrinking ratio is, for example, 1/3 in aspect ratio, after a slave screen luminance signal is in A/D conversion at an A/D converter 53 via an LPF52, the signal is written in a memory 41A at a clock generating circuit in 2.4MHz taking the timing with a synchronizing separation signal. Time compression is made to 1/3 at an oscillator 43 in 7.2MHz for readout and output is made to a terminal 57 via an LPF56 after D/A conversion at a D/A converter 55. In this case, a filter 71 emphasizing high frequencies is provided before the converter 53 and a filter 72 suppressing high frequency with inverting characteristic is provided after the D/A converter 55. Thus, high frequency component level with high visual sensitivity is lowered out of noise caused by quantized conversion processing, allowing to prevent the deterioration of picture simply.
