Abstract: A magnetic core 20 is characterised by gaps between each leg 23 and a top section 21 and bottom section 22 of the core 20. Alternatively two of the legs may include multiple gaps. A method of assembling a gapped magnetic core comprises applying an adhesive (25, fig 5) and a spacer (24, fig 5) on distinct areas of a first section and adhering a second section to the first section such that the spacer (24, fig 5) defines the thickness of the adhesive (25, fig 5) and the gap. A bobbin (100, fige 9) comprises two coplanar channels (110 and 120, fig 9) for receiving a first winding wherein a transverse path (130, fig 9) is provided between the channels in a different plane, so that the winding may follow a bent path to reduce the size of the bobbin. An isolated concentric path may be provided for a second winding.

Title: Manipulation treatment apparatus
Inventor: BARNES VINCENT JAMES
IPC: A61H7/00
Filed: 2013-07-11
Abstract: Manipulation treatment apparatus comprising a force application means 20 with oscillating drive means is fixed relative to a manual treatment table 3 to cyclically apply and release a force to a contact means adapted to contact a portion of a patient, such as a belt 51 or plate 26 for manipulating the patient, or oscillating plate 38 for massaging across soft tissues or reciprocating piston / applicator (31, Figure 5) for pushing into soft tissue. A load cell, such as a strain gauge connected between the belt 51 and flexible cord 50, measures the force being applied, the output of which is used to control the timing and amount of force applied during each cycle. The force, cycle frequency and treatment time can be longer than the practitioner could reasonably carry out.

Title: Interoperability bridge unit for dynamic linking of executable library functions to an application using platform invoke
Inventor: GENNARD STEPHEN
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2013-08-14
Abstract: An application program comprising executable code is deployed in an RTE (Runtime Environment) comprising an interoperability bridge unit 405. A reference to a function, originally instructed in a system-independent programming language, is received from the executable code 450 and the reference resolved to determine the function name. The executable code is derived from an intermediate language code, e.g. bytecode. If the function name is located in an export portion of an executable library 465 registered with the RTE, typically a DLL (Dynamic Link Library) then program code, comprising a platform invoke statement referencing the library and function name, is dynamically generated, prepared and executed to invoke the function. A function code detector 415 receives the reference and a function locator resolves the reference to determine the function name. A code generator 435 dynamically generates program code 445 comprising the platform invoke statement for the function and this code is passed to a code implementer 455 which prepares the executable code. A static arrangement is also disclosed in which source code is parsed by a compiler. Program code containing a platform invoke statement for a function can then be generated and compiled to intermediate language code before run time.

The distance measures may be a combination of Euclidean or spatial distance between centroids of the super pixels and an appearance distance between histograms of a colour channel. User interaction 304 may be used to classify an initial set of seeds as associated with a foreground object.

Title: Functional brown adipose tissue imaging technique
Inventor: LAU ANGUS ZOEN
IPC: A61K49/06
Filed: 2014-04-30
Abstract: Detecting brown adipose tissue comprises acquiring one or more images of an adipose tissue of a subject representative of a level of a pre-polarized metabolic contrast agent and/or its metabolic products, and determining a presence or volume of brown adipose tissue based on the images. The MRI imaging system comprises a processor configured to receive a baseline tissue image of a subject with a metabolic contrast agent and receive an activated tissue image with the contrast agent after exposure to a brown adipose tissue activating agent or event.

Title: Vehicle air-conditioning device
Inventor: YAMAGUCHI AKIRA
IPC: B60H1/00
Filed: 2013-01-24
Abstract: In this vehicle air-conditioning device, an ECU (100) computes a comparison temperature, which is compared to a target airflow temperature (TAO) when performing feedback control on an air-mix door (20), by applying a correction value to a representative measured temperature computed by applying prescribed weights, respectively, to a face airflow temperature (TAV) and a foot airflow temperature (TAH). The ECU (100) increases said correction value as a cold-air bypass door (32) increasingly opens an auxiliary cold-air bypass passage (31). Thus, in an airflow mode in which air is blown into the vehicle interior from both a face opening and a foot opening, even if the cold-air bypass door changes the amount of cold air sent down the second cold-air bypass passage to the face opening, variation in the temperature of the air blown from the foot opening can be minimized.

Title: Method and apparatus for vector encoding in video coding and decoding
Inventor: GUILLAUME LAROCHE
IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 2014-10-06
Abstract: Encoding an image comprising a plurality of coding tree blocks made of block of pixels. Each block is encoded or decoded according to one of a number of modes, one of which is INTRA Block Copy (IntraBC) mode. In INTRA Block Copy mode the block is encoded based on a predictor block, which is an actual block of the current image. The search range for the predictor blocks is defined in a number of independent claims corresponding to the shaded areas of Figures 9-12. Another independent claim gives the search area as all coding tree blocks to the left of the current block (i.e. previously processed and in the same row). Preferably the encoding is done with wavefront parallel processing (WPP). The defined search areas allow the wavefront parallelized processing to proceed without undue delay between threads. Other independent claims demand that the encoding is done in parallel threads and determine the predictor block search area to be those blocks already reconstructed by the current and previous threads. A decoding claim is included for INTRA Block Copy mode decoding using synchronized parallel threads.
