Title: A fluorescence measurement cell.
Inventor: HULME KEITH
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 2008-02-14
Abstract: A cell for measuring the fluorescence of a sample comprising an incident wall surface 2, a sample chamber 6 and an emitting wall member 14 which collimates light though a lens 13. The lens 13 is adapted to collect light from the emitting wall member 14 and direct it towards a detector. In addition, the cell comprises a mirrored surface coating which reflects light back to the sample chamber 6, thereby energising the sample further. The cell is suitable for use with small sample volumes, as a result, it allows significant sample cost savings. In addition, fluorescence detection is enhanced by said mirrored surfaces which prevent emitted light from escaping, moreover, the light is reflected back to the sample, thereby energising it further. The collimated light directed to the detector also provides for more stable and reproducible results and higher detection limits when emission energy is low.

Title: Receiving signals from both GPS and Galileo systems
Inventor: COLLIER JAMES DIGBY YARLET
IPC: G01S19/33
Filed: 2008-02-25
Abstract: A receiver receives a GPS signal (1 ,Fig.1) having a first frequency spectrum with principal energy (3,Fig.1) in a first frequency band (6,Fig.1) and a Galileo signal (2,Fig.1) having a second frequency spectrum with principal energy (4,Fig.1) in second and third frequency bands (5,7,Fig.1). The receiver comprises a frequency shifting means, and filters (10a,b,Fig.2) having frequency responses comprising first and second passbands (11,12,Fig.3) separated by a central stopband (13,Fig.3). When receiving a GPS signal, the frequency shifting means shifts the incoming signal such that the first frequency band 32 of the GPS signal lies in either of the first and second passbands 31, and one of the second and third frequency bands 33 of the Galileo signal is shifted onto the central stopband. When receiving a Galileo signal, the frequency shifting means shifts the incoming signal such that the second and third frequency bands 43 of the Galileo signal are shifted onto the first and second passbands 41 respectively, and the first frequency band 42 of the GPS signal is shifted onto the central stopband. Thus the filter remains static and there is no need to provide separate filters for GPS and Galileo reception.

Title: Image data filtering
Inventor: PINDORIA MANISH DEVSHI
IPC: G06T3/40
Filed: 2008-11-05
Abstract: A method of data processing, in particular filtering of image pixel values, comprises applying a filter to an input sample to generate a corresponding output sample value having an output sample value position with respect to the input sample set, in which the filter has a maximum output range. The method further comprises deriving a permissible output value range from an input group of two or more input sample values in the input sample set which surround the output sample value position, detecting whether the output of the filter is outside the permissible output value range and, if so, limiting the output of the filter to lie within the permissible output value range. The method particularly applicable to the interpolation of image data to generate new image pixel data without unwanted artefacts by restricting the output of the filter to a particular range.

Title: A technique for enhancing transistor performance by transistor specific contact design
Inventor: GERHARDT MARTIN
IPC: H01L21/8238
Filed: 2009-10-15
Abstract: By locally adapting the size and/or density of a contact structure (230A, 230B), for instance, within individual transistors (210, 210A, 210B) or in a more global manner, the overall performance of advanced semiconductor devices (200) may be increased. Hence, the mutual interaction between the contact structure (230A, 230B) and local device characteristics may be taken into consideration. On the other hand, a high degree of compatibility with conventional process strategies may be maintained.

Title: Continuous casting of reactionary metals using a glass covering
Inventor: JACQUES MICHAEL P
IPC: B22D11/00
Filed: 2008-04-28
Abstract: A seal for a continuous casting furnace having a melting chamber with a mold therein for producing a metal cast includes a passage between the melting chamber and external atmosphere. As the cast moves through the passage, the cast outer surface and the passage inner surface define therebetween a reservoir for containing liquid glass or other molten material to prevent the external atmosphere from entering the melting chamber. Particulate material fed into the reservoir is melted by heat from the cast to form the molten material. The molten material coats the cast as it moves through the passage and solidifies to form a coating to protect the hot cast from reacting with the external atmosphere. Preferably, the mold has an inner surface with a cross-sectional shape to define a cross-sectional shape of the cast outer surface whereby these cross-sectional shapes are substantially the same as a cross-sectional shape of the passage inner surface.

IPC: B65D43/16
Filed: 2009-11-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a blister pack 11 of the type having a hinged body part and lid, alternatively called a clamshell. The lid 13 of the blister pack 11 fits inside a peripherally extending wall 15 of the body part 12. The body part 12 has an end 16 remote from the hinge which is provided with hinged retaining means 17 that, when the pack 11 is closed, snap-fit onto projections 18 upstanding from the lid 13. When the hinged retaining means 17 are snapped onto the lid projections 18 they form a braced strut means which holds the lid 13 in place. The retaining means 17 provides a finger lift edge by which they may be released from the lid projections 18. Preferably the retaining means consists 17 of two struts, though only one may be provided. Preferably the two struts are disposed either side of an apertured tag 19 by which the pack 11 is hung for display. When the pack 11 is closed with the retaining means in place the pack 11 is secured against unintentional opening, yet is still easy to open by virtue of the finger lift edge.
