Abstract: An apparatus (10) for assessment, evaluation and grading of gemstones has a stage (11) upon which a gemstone may be supported. The stage is enclosed in a housing (15) that is impervious to light. There is at least one light source (14) located in the housing which is adapted to project incident light onto the gemstone.  Means for rotating and tilting the stage so as to vary the orientation of the gemstone to the incident light are also present. A  digital camera (16) is located in the housing adjacent the or each light source and is adapted to take images of the gemstone based on reflection and/or refraction of the incident light. The apparatus also includes information processing means for calibrating and analysing the images. The information processing means is programmed with instruction sets for assessing one or more of colour, cut, clarity, scintillation, brilliance, lustre, dispersion and sheen. The gemstone is supported upon the stage by securing means (17) engaging the gemstone at its bottom surface.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is shown for increasing the efficiency of a fuel driven turbine generator, and in particular, a system comprising a turbo compressor and turbo expander device that produces super chilled air that can be mixed with ambient air to produce relatively cool dry inlet air that can be introduced under pressure into the fuel driven generator to increase the efficiency thereof. A separation compartment with a passageway extending normal to the travel direction of the chilled air is preferably used to remove ice particles and particulates from the cool inlet air to avoid damage to the turbine blades. Additional efficiency increasing apparatuses such as heat exchangers and steam driven turbine generators and chillers that use heat from the compressors, as well as thermal energy storage systems that store chilled water produced by releasing compressed air are contemplated.

Title: Dynamic probe detection system
Inventor: HUMPHRIS ANDREW
IPC: G01B9/02
Filed: 2009-12-11
Abstract: A dynamic probe detection system (29,32) is for use with a scanning probe microscope of the type that includes a probe (18) that is moved repeatedly towards and away from a sample surface. As a sample surface is scanned, an interferometer (88) generates an output height signal indicative of a path difference between light reflected from the probe (80a,80b,80c) and a height reference beam. Signal processing apparatus monitors the height signal and derives a measurement for each oscillation cycle that is indicative of the height of the probe. This enables extraction of a measurement that represents the height of the sample, without recourse to averaging or filtering,that may be used to form an image of the sample. The detection system may also include a feedback mechanism that is operable to maintain the average value of a feedback parameter at a set level.
