Title: Monitoring an immunoassay
Filed: 2007-06-20
Abstract: A method of monitoring an immunoassay comprises monitoring the shape of the flow edge of fluid across an immunoassay region. Preferably the method further comprises comparing the determined shape of the flow edge of fluid with a reference shape. An immunoassay reader configured to obtain one or more images of an immunoassay region and determine the shape of the flow edge of fluid across the immune assay region is also provided. The method may also involve determining the position of the flow edge of fluid across an immunoassay region. This may allow early detection of possible errors in the test. For example the speed of the movement of the fluid flow edge may be determined from measurements of the position of the fluid flow edge at times throughout the test, and the determined speed may be compared with one or more thresholds to determine whether the test is proceeding correctly. Various factors may be taken into account when comparing the assay against a reference e.g. temperature, humidity, tilt of assay region. Alternatively a method of monitoring an immunoassay comprising monitoring the variation with time of a feature of an immunoassay region is disclosed.

Patent GB-201205248-D0 (GB)
Title: Display control apparatus and control method thereof
IPC: G06F3/0484
Filed: 2012-03-26
Abstract: A display control apparatus can quickly switch a state displaying an image without enlargement and a state displaying an image in enlargement display in the least amount of operation effort. When the display control apparatus receives an instruction to start an enlargement mode in a state displaying an image by single display in which an entirety of one image is displayed in the display area of a display unit, the display control apparatus performs control to display a part of the enlarged image in a display area. When the display control apparatus receives an instruction to start the enlargement mode in a state displaying an image by multi display where a plurality of images are displayed in the display area, the display control apparatus displays a part of the image more enlarged than a case of the single display in the display area without going through the single display.
Patent GB-201205973-D0 (GB)
Title: Method or apparatus for transmission or reception
Filed: 2012-04-03
Abstract: The present application relates generally to uplink and downlink resources of a radio Access Network (RAN), Radio Resource Control (RRC), and Voice over IP (VoIP). One 3GPP solution to avoid control channel limitation for the VoIP capacity is Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS). When using this SPS function the RAN does not need to send a downlink assignment or an uplink grant to a user equipment (UE), which saves the control channel capacity. Discontinuous Reception and Transmission (DRX/DTX) can be utilised as a function that reduces power consumption at the UE. The present invention synchronises the SPS function and the DRX / DTX function. The method of transmission or reception in accordance with the invention is based on a duty cycle which contains on period and an off period. When the RAN performs the method, it signals at least a part of a configuration and a resource allocation to a UE. The configuration discloses: a) length of the duty cycle, b) a starting time of the duty cycle, and c) a length of the on period. The transmission or reception is to happen according to the resource allocation, at the UE, within at least one on period of the duly cycle. When most of the transmission or reception happens within the on periods, the off periods are long and contiguous, thus saving the battery of the UE. The configuration discloses information that delays starting of a duty cycle at least until a trigger.

Inventor: BORETTO GIANMARCO
IPC: F01N13/02
Filed: 2002-01-25
Abstract: There is described a method of determining the amount of particulate accumulated in a particulate filter (9), based on determining possible variations in the spatial distribution and/or physical-chemical properties of the particulate as a function of engine operating conditions and past particulate accumulation in the particulate filter. More specifically, to begin with, there are determined and memorized in map form a number of reference values ( beta MAP) of a parameter ( beta ) defining a relationship between the amount of particulate (mS) accumulated in the particulate filter (9) and the pressure drop ( DELTA PDPF) across the particulate filter (9), each of the reference values ( beta MAP) relating to a respective steady engine operating condition in which particulate is accumulated in the particulate filter (9). In a given engine operating condition, an operating value ( beta MOD) of the parameter ( beta ) is then determined as a function of the reference value ( beta MAP) of the parameter ( beta ) relative to the same steady engine operating condition, and of past particulate accumulation in the particulate filter (9). And the operating value ( beta MOD) of the parameter ( beta ) is used to calculate the amount of particulate (mS) accumulated in the particulate filter (9). A final corrected value mS_CORR of particulate accumulated in the filter, calculated taking into account the effects of partial regenerations (e.g. NOx-based spontaneous regeneration) and prolonged vehicle disuse ("parking" effect), is used to activate regeneration of the filter. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1983-06-01
Abstract: A system, suitable for use as an identity seal for an object, such as a container for fissile material, comprises a body (1) including a cap (2) for fitting over one end of the object, and a recess (5) which contains a material (6) such as <ARALDITE» or aluminium acting as a matrix for a plurality of inclusions of e.g. bronze (7) embedded therein in a random configuration. The recess (5) is closed by a cover (8) which includes a central electrically conductive part (9). Also embedded in the matrix material (6) and constituting further «inclusions» are two piezo electric crystal transducers (11, 12) each electrically connected to the central cover part (9). In use, the transducers (11, 12) are electrically connected via the central cover part (9) to external ultrasonic testing apparatus to provide a unique output indicative of the particular structure of the seal particularly the inclusion configuration and hence providing a unique «identity» and hence indication of integrity for the seal. Tampering with and/or removal of the seal will change its structure in some way so that subsequent ultrasonic testing produces a different output, revealing the occurrence of the unauthorised event.
