Abstract: An opto-electronic scale reading apparatus includes a reflective scale (410) relative to which a readhead is movable. The readhead includes a light source in the form of the emission end of an optical fibre (300), which directs light via collimating lens (420), beam splitter (310), and deflecting optics (312,314) onto the scale. The light reflected from the scale passes through an index grating (416) to generate a series of spatial fringes in the plane of an analyser (418). The analyser comprises a series of elongate light transmitting colour filters, extending substantially parallel to the fringes and arranged in a repeating pattern (e.g. red, blue, green, red, blue .....); like-coloured elements are separated by a distance corresponding to an integer multiple of the fringe pitch. The array (418) encodes the fringes into a plurality of phase-shifted signals, which pass through the beam splitter (310), lens (420) and back along fibre (300). A plurality of corresponding colour filters, provided at the other end of the fibre (300) deflect the relevant colour light onto individual photodetectors thereby to produce a plurality of cyclically modulating phase-shifted electrical signals, from which the relative displacement of the readhead and scale may be determined. Where the fibre is of plastics material the light is preferably in the infra-red spectrum to produce attenuation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention includes protective devices for protecting against needle-stick injury by a medical catheter or needle. More particularly, the invention is concerned with guards for use with wingless needle assemblies of the type used by blood banks. However, it is also applicable to winged needle assemblies used for other medical purposes, such as the intravenous (IV) infusion of fluids. The needle or catheter assemblies of the type concerned here, comprise a needle, a needle mount or block, and a flexible tube, which are connected at one end to the needle via the needle mount and at the other end to a blood collection bag or to an IV fluid source. A winged catheter or needle assembly is one having a pair of flexible wing-like protrusions extending laterally from its mount, the wings being taped to the user's skin to keep the needle in place over the long periods of time often needed for IV infusions.

Granted: 1999-02-10
Abstract: A method of encapsulating volatile aroma compounds in which an inert gas, such as carbon dioxide, is dissolved in an aromatized edible liquid, and the aromatized, gasified liquid is co-extruded with a molten carbohydrate material having a glass transition temperature of between 20 DEG  C. and 80 DEG  C. to provide a continuous stream having an outer shell of the carbohydrate material surrounding an inner core of the aromatized, gasified liquid. The continuous stream is extruded into a pressure chamber having a pressure higher than the internal pressure of the inert gas in the aromatized liquid core, and is maintained under such pressure until the carbohydrate shell has cooled to below the glass transition temperature to provide capsules having a shell of hardened amorphous carbohydrate glass surrounding an inner core of gasified, aromatized liquid. When the capsules, which are incorporated in an instant consumer product, are contacted with hot water, the inert gas in the capsule core rapidly expands and ruptures the capsule wall, releasing aromatized liquid across the surface of the water. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, coffee aroma capsules are prepared from 100% coffee derived material, in which coffee aroma frost is dissolved in coffee oil and gasified, and the aromatized, gasified coffee oil is encapsulated in an outer shell of hardened amorphous coffee glass.

Abstract: A device and method for monitoring over a period of time a foetus in a pregnant mammalian animal. A piezoelectric synthetic plastics material detector (11) is applied to the abdomen of the pregnant animal and produces an electrical signal as a result of foetal activity such as foetal body movement, breathing movement and heart rate. This signal is received in receiver means and is compared with previously determined signals characteristic of various types of foetal activity. Output means produce an output indicative of the activities of the foetus over the monitored period from which can be gauged foetal development and/or well being.

Abstract: Low base number (LBN) sulphonates derived from high molecular weight sulphonic acids have low viscosity, are chloride free and are not skin sensitisers. In their preparation, neutralisation of high molecular weight sulphonic acids or partially neutralised soaps of high molecular weight sulphonic acids is completed by the use of a high base number sulphonate in conjunction with a carboxylic acid. The process does not require the use of chloride containing promoters and produces low chloride products which do not skin on exposure to air.
