Abstract: A filter assembly for fluid filtration having a push-activated lock and release mechanism. The filter housing has a sump for enclosing the filter media, a filter head, and at least one standoff protruding outwards for use in securing the filter head to a filter manifold. The filter manifold supports the filter housing with a filter locator. A filter guide having a rotator actuating mechanism secures and holds the filter head in place when the filter head is axially inserted. The rotator actuating mechanism has tabs and slots that rotate upon a transverse axial force from the standoff and from tabs on an internal shutoff. The internal shutoff has an inlet extension and an outlet extension with apertures for fluid ingress and egress. The internal shutoff tabs slidably contact and align the rotator actuating mechanism to secure and remove the filter head.

IPC: G01R15/24
Filed: 2006-12-22
Abstract: The voltage sensor comprises two optical sensing fibers (10a, 10b) and a control unit (1). The sensing fibers (10a, 10b) carry a first and a second mode of light, which are orthogonally polarized, with the birefringence between the two modes depending on the electric voltage to be measured. The control unit is adapted to generate light for the two modes in the sensing element and for measuring the phase delay suffered between the two modes. A 45° Faraday rotator (9) is arranged between the control unit (1) and the sensing fibers (10a, 10b). The Faraday rotator (9) allows to convert the behavior of the sensing fibers and their associated components to the one of magneto-optical current sensors with polarization-rotated reflection, which in turn allows to use the advanced measuring techniques developed for optical gyroscopes and current sensors.

Inventor: BROWN MATTHEW
IPC: G08B21/18
Filed: 2009-12-23
Abstract: A system and method for predictive modeling of building energy consumption provides predicted building energy load values which are determined using kernel smoothing of historical building energy load values for a building using defined scaling factors for scaling predictor variables associated with building energy consumption. Predictor variables may include temperature, humidity, windspeed or direction, occupancy, time, day, date, and solar radiation. Scaling factor values may be defined by optimization training using historical building energy load values and measured predictor variable values for a building. Predicted and measured building energy load values are compared to determine if a preset difference threshold has been exceeded, in which case an alert signal or message is generated and transmitted to electronically and/or physically signal a user. The building energy monitoring system may be integrated with a building automation system, or may be operated as a separate system receiving building energy and predictor variable values.

Abstract: Systems and methods for the quantitative automated analysis of pathology samples identify groups of spatially-associated similar cells. Cells may be identified as belonging to a group on the basis of spatial location and biomarkers. In some embodiments the biomarkers are multicolour fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) signals.  Characteristics of the cells in a group may be combined to provide quantitative FISH results that may compensate for variations and artefacts such as thin sectioning that can result in the loss of information due to damage.  In heterogeneous tissue samples, grouping cells can permit quantitative results regarding pathological cells to be extracted despite the presences of infiltrating non pathological cells.
