Title: Microfluidic absorption cell
Inventor: FLOQUET CEDRIC FLORIAN AYMERIC
IPC: G01N21/03
Filed: 2011-02-04
Abstract: An absorption cell for microfluidic chemical analysis made from tinted or coloured polymers, for example polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), in which microfluidic channels are cut. Light is coupled into the absorption cell via two windows (typically 200 um thick) that are retained at either end of the channel. Absorption is measured using a light source, such as a light emitting diode (LED) and a photodiode butted against the windows. Spurious scattered and/or reflected light is absorbed by the coloured polymer over the length of the measurement cell, while very little light loss occurs at the coupling windows.

In the region 49 between adjacent connecting links 29, 40 the diameter of the connecting pin 31 is greater than the diameter of the first apertures so that the chain cannot be opened by removing a riveted end of a connecting pin they are held in place by the enlarged diameter of the central section 49 and the common cutting element 42. The second connecting links 40 are preferably separate so that they can be removed, allowing opening of the chain. To enable repairs the cutting elements can be broken off and the connecting pin heads 51 removed to allow for the removal of the link.

Title: An air to liquid heat exchanger
Inventor: STYLES MARTIN JAMES
IPC: F02B29/04
Filed: 2012-11-15
Abstract: An air to liquid heat exchanger is disclosed having a heat exchanger block having a number of air flow fin heat transfer units 61, 81 through which air to be cooled passes. Each of the air flow fin heat transfer units 61, 81 has a number of non-uniform flow area airflow passages each of which reduces in air flow area from an air inlet end 15a, 85a of the heat exchanger block 15 to an air outlet end 15b, 85b of the heat exchanger block. Each air flow heat transfer unit 61, 81 includes a tapered triangular shaped central zone 64, 84 defined by two inner boundary fins 62c, 82c which diverge away from each other from an air inlet end of the heat exchanger such that the area of the air inlet end 15a, 85a is larger than the air outlet end 15b, 85b . The tapered triangular shaped central zone 64, 84 thus reduces the air flow area at the air outlet end 15b, 85b of the heat exchanger block without significantly reducing the air flow area at the air inlet end 15a, 15a of the heat exchanger block and provides for the passage of common liquid coolant supply and return conduits 50S, 70S and 50R, 70R through each air flow heat transfer unit 61, 81. The heat exchanger may be used to cool intake air which is passed to an internal combustion engine through a turbo charger compressor.

Title: Pressure sensing methods, devices, and systems
Inventor: BRUGGER JAMES M
IPC: A61B5/021
Filed: 2011-09-23
Abstract: A pressure measuring device has tubing with an inline "pillow" portion that is more flexible than the tubing portion. The pillow portion may be created by heating a portion of a length of medical tubing and forcing air into the heated portion to expand, and thin, its walls. The tubing and pillow portion may be used in a negatively pressurized portion of a blood circuit such as an arterial return line. An assembly of interleaved support members adhesively bonded to the pillow portion holds the pillow portion in an expanded state even under negative pressure. Further, when the pillow portion tries to collapse, the interleaved support members compress a strain gauge to provide a pressure signal corresponding to the negative pressure exerted by the fluid therewithin.

Title: A proximity beacon
Inventor: EDWARD PELLEW
IPC: G01S11/12
Filed: 2015-10-30
Abstract: A second device 204 generates a magnetic field and emits an RF signal received by a first device. The first device determines whether values attributable to the RF signal 702 and magnetic field 706 satisfy separate criteria 704,708 and registers a touch event 710 when this is so. Magnetic field strength may be calculated 706 to exceed a threshold and determine the device separation. A second criterion may be that the rate of change of magnetic field strength exceeds a threshold. A criterion may be a magnetic field footprint or Fourier transform. A gyroscope may measure pitch/roll in which case the magnetic readings are ignored. A first criterion may be a value of received signal strength (RSSI) exceeding a threshold. An accelerometer may register a touch event. The second device may be a proximity beacon, and transmit a unique identifier. Further inventions include monitoring for an acceleration change and registering a touch event, circuitry arranged to determine when device separation is less than a threshold and registering a touch event, a proximity beacon with an RF transmitter and a magnet, and registering a touch event dependent on confidence ratings.

Title: Systems and methods for automatically adjusting volume of a media asset based on navigation distance
Inventor: DAVID JOHN WHEATLEY
IPC: H04N21/81
Filed: 2015-03-25
Abstract: A media asset is displayed on a navigation page or screen, such as a webpage or a folder, and an initial audio volume is determined. The media assets may include TV programs, pay-per-view, on-demand, VOD, Internet content such as webcasts, video, audio, pictures, documents, playlists, websites, articles, books, blogs, social media, advertisements, games, etc. A first distance is measured between the media asset, and a first position, which may be represented by the position of the scroll bar or cursor. A user then navigates from the first location to a second location, where the media file is partially viewable. The proximity of the second position to the media asset is determined. If the second position is closer to the media file than the first position, then the volume level is increased. An embodiment is for a video on a webpage; based on the initial cursor/scroll bar position, the audio will be output at a certain volume. When the cursor or scroll bar is moved, the distance between that and the video will be checked, and if the cursor is closer to the video, then the volume increases.
