Title: Tubule grading
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2002-10-23
Abstract: A method of grading tubules in a first histological slide image derives a second image of objects in the first image of objects in the first image with boundary characteristics corresponding to tubules. It also derives a third image of second objects in the first image having pixel value characteristic of fat and holes within tubules. It combines data from the second and third images to identify holes within tubules and determines the relative areas of holes as proportions of their tubules to provide ratios, individual tubule ratios and an overall ration for all holes and tubules collectively. The number of tubules containing appreciably sized holes is counted. Tubules are graded by thresholding based on individual and overall tubule/hole area ratios, tubule/object proportion, tubule number and number of tubule with appreciably sized holes. Thresholds are derived from image gradation by an appropriate medical expert.

Title: Apparatus and methods for end forming tubes
Filed: 2006-12-22
Abstract: Small diameter plastic catheters or tubes 4 are end formed using a glass mould 10 with a cavity 1 having a smoothly-rounded closed end 13. The end 12 of the mould 10 contacts a heater 14 so that the closed end of the cavity can be heated. The tube 4 is loaded on a hollow, metal pin 5 so that the pin projects from the end 40 of the tube. This assembly 3 of tube 4 and pin 5 is loaded on a carriage 2 and is gripped by spring arms 31 and 32. A weight 21 and pulley 23 arrangement moves the assembly 3 forwardly into the cavity 1 so that the pin 5 initially contacts the closed end 13 of the cavity 1. The grip on the assembly 3 is set to allow the tube 4 to slide forwardly along the pin 5 when the pin contacts the closed end 13 of the cavity so that the forward end 40 of the tube comes into contact with the heated, closed end 13 of the cavity 1. The material of the tube 4 flows around the pin 5, which keeps the end 40 of the tube open. A blower 7 then blows air onto the outside of the mould 10 to cool it and allow the flowed material to harden slightly. The assembly 3 is then pulled out of the cavity 1 and the pin 5 is removed from the tube 4.

Title: Local oscillator noise rejection circuit
IPC: H03B5/18
Filed: 1995-05-18
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB96/01188 Sec. 371 Date May 4, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date May 4, 1998 PCT Filed May 17, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/37041 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 21, 1996A local oscillator noise rejection circuit is described which has a resistance between the output of an MES FET/HEMT and ground. This resistance has the effect of introducing a self-biasing arrangement to the oscillator circuit which means that when there is any increase in current through the MES PET/HEMT device, the voltage drop across the resistance also increases. Since the gate is tied to ground via a low resistance (51  OMEGA ) this leads to an increased negative gate to source voltage which causes the device to "pinch-off" slightly which, in turn, gives a reduction in the current level through the device. This arrangement therefore has the effect of reducing any current surges within the device and produces an improvement in phase noise. In a preferred arrangement a 30 Ohm resistor is located between the source of the FET/HEMT and ground, the resistor being located in series within the printed circuit inductor and the output line. With the aforementioned modified circuit, an improvement in the phase noise performance has been measured from the standard circuit which gave a figure of -64 dBc. At 10 KHz. After modification using the above mentioned circuit a figure of -76 dBc. At 10 KHz. was obtained which is approximately a 16 times improvement.
