Title: Improvements in or relating to reading of assays
Inventor: PHELAN ANDREW PETER
IPC: G01N21/84
Filed: 2012-10-02
Abstract: Disclosed is an assay result reading apparatus for use with an assay in which a detectable substance tends to accumulate within a detection zone of the assay, the reading apparatus comprising: a housing or baffle, having a window therein; a light source which emits light through the window so as to illuminate the detection zone of the assay; and a light detector to detect the amount of light reflected and/or transmitted by the detection zone, which amount is at least partly dependent on the amount of detectable substance accumulated in the detection zone; wherein the shape of the window is adapted to render the reading apparatus less sensitive, preferably insensitive, to minor mis-positioning of the detection zone relative to one or more of the window, the light source and the light detector.

Title: Procédé et appareil d'estimation de la fréquence cardiaque
Inventor: HUTCHINSON NICHOLAS DUNKLEY
IPC: A61B5/024
Filed: 2017-01-23
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant d'estimer la fréquence cardiaque d'un sujet à partir d'une image vidéo du sujet. Des régions d'intérêt sont générées, qui évitent d'obtenir des zones dans l'image de gradient d'intensité élevé (telles que des éléments d'image détectables) et favorisent l'obtention de zones à partir desquelles des signaux de qualité supérieure ont été obtenus. Un moyen de définir de telles régions d'intérêt consiste à détecter et à suivre des points caractéristiques dans la séquence d'images vidéo, à trianguler les points caractéristiques et à générer des régions carrées d'intérêt correspondant aux cercles internes des triangles. Un autre moyen consiste à générer des régions d'intérêt en fonction des distributions de probabilités de taille et d'emplacement qui sont définies de manière à avoir une probabilité élevée pour les zones d'image à distance de gradients d'intensité élevés et qui génèrent des signaux de bonne qualité. La variation d'intensité dans chaque région d'intérêt dans la séquence vidéo est considérée comme un signal de série temporelle, la bande passante est filtrée dans la plage attendue physiologiquement et les signaux sont regroupés en fonction de leur similarité et de l'espacement dans l'image. Les signaux du même groupe sont moyennés et pour les groupes ayant au moins un nombre prédéfini de signaux, la fréquence du signal moyen est prise comme indiquant une fréquence cardiaque. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les variations d'intensité des régions carrées d'intérêt dans la séquence de trames sont prises comme des signaux de série temporelle et ces signaux qui présentent un pic élevé dans le spectre de puissance sont sélectionnés et soumis à une analyse en composantes principales. La composante principale présentant une qualité de signal la plus élevée est sélectionnée et sa fréquence est trouvée et utilisée pour estimer la fréquence cardiaque.

Title: Checking lock variables for transactions in a system with transactional memory support
Inventor: HORSNELL MATTHEW JAMES
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2018-08-30
Abstract: In an apparatus (2) with transactional memory support, a predetermined type of transaction start instruction or a subsequent instruction following the predetermined type of transaction start instruction triggers capture of a lock identifier which identifies a lock variable for controlling exclusive access to at least one resource. In response to a predetermined type of transaction end instruction which follows the predetermined type of transaction start instruction, the lock variable is checked and commitment of results of speculatively executed instructions of the transaction is prevented or deferred when the lock variable indicates that another thread holds the exclusive access to the target resource. This approach can improve performance when executing transactions in a transactional memory based system.
