Title: Radiation intensity measurement apparatus for nucleonic level or density gauge
Inventor: BENJAMIN METCALFE
IPC: G01T1/29
Filed: 2017-05-17
Abstract: A radiation measurement apparatus for use in a nucleonic level or density gauge comprises a radiation detector and a control unit receiving radiation measurements from the radiation detector. The control unit is calculates an exponential moving average over time with a first time constant and a linear moving average over time with a smaller second time constant. The control unit selects either the exponential moving average or the linear moving average to use in determining a level or density based on the criterion that if difference of the moving averages is more than a threshold the linear moving average is used. The threshold may be 2 to 4 times the standard deviation, with the further criterion of the difference lasting for more than a predetermined length of time.

Abstract: A video processing apparatus is directed to appropriately associating a plurality of objects in an image (510). A target detection unit 304 detects the position of regions (512-513) of a tracking target included in a video image. A specific object detection unit 305 detects a position of a specific object (e.g. ID:1, Figure 5) included in the video image. The specific object has a predetermined feature. An association unit 308 associates a region of the tracking target with the specific object based on a relative position between the region of the tracking target and the specific object. The object could typically be a face or a vehicle registration plate. The apparatus could control the imaging direction of a PTZ camera. The association unit can take into account the distance between region and object as well as the amount of change in these positions from video frame to frame.

Title: (Fingerprint) powder composition
Inventor: ANTONIOS KELARAKIS
IPC: A61B5/1172
Filed: 2015-09-18
Abstract: A fingerprint powder composition for the visualisation of latent fingerprints comprises carbogenic nanoparticles (CNPs) and a diluent, with at most 20 wt% carbogenic nanoparticles. Above certain concentrations, carbogenic nanoparticles may self-quench, decreasing the quantum yield. The claimed dilution may cause the CNPs to exhibit excitation-dependent emission properties within a range of wavelengths. The diluent may include existing fingerprint powders. The CNPs may be formed by the carbonization of a carbogenic precursor, possibly comprising carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen and possibly forming the diluent. The particles may be between 1 and 50nm and may be carbonised by pyrolysis. The fingerprint composition exhibits excitation-dependent emission properties allowing imaging in a variety of different colour by varying the wavelength of excitation radiation. This could allow improvements in visualisation against various backgrounds without using a different fingerprint dusting. Also disclosed are methods and apparatus for imaging fingerprint impressions and a method of fingerprint matching.
