Title: Method of quantification of gene copy number in mammalian cells
Inventor: MATTEO BARBERIS
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2018-03-23
Abstract: A method of controlling protein expression in a mammalian cell comprises arranging a target gene and a promoter, controlling the expression of the target gene, in a plasmid; transfecting the one or more mammalian cells with the plasmid; and adding an amount of a transcriptional activator to the medium. Preferably the promoter is tet-inducible and the transcriptional activator is tetracycline or doxycycline, and the plasmid may also comprise sequences encoding a tet-repressor protein and a reporter protein (such as a fluorescent protein), both under the control of constitutive promoters. The plasmid preferably also comprises sequences encoding A further method of controlling protein expression of a target gene, controlled by an endogenous promoter thereof, in one or more of a mammalian cell, comprises integrating, on the 5'-side of the endogenous promoter controlling the target gene, a tet-repressor controlled by a constitutively active promoter, a fluorescent reporter gene controlled by a further endogenous promoter, and a transcription module controlling both the fluorescent reporter gene and the target gene; and adding one of tetracycline or doxycycline to the medium.

Title: Catalyst Protection System From Oxygen Deprived Exhaust
Inventor: MARK SCHMALE
IPC: F01N11/00
Filed: 2018-03-28
Abstract: An exhaust purification system for the reduction of emissions from an exhaust stream comprises an oxygen detection system, such as an oxygen sensor, a catalyst, and an air injection system between the oxygen detection system and the catalyst. Air is injected into the exhaust stream at designated exhaust conditions to protect the catalyst from oxygen-deprived conditions. A controller includes instructions to inject air upon detection of exhaust stream oxygen level below a minimum oxygen level. The minimum oxygen level may be a level of oxygen above that required for complete combustion of all injected fuel, such as 1wt% oxygen or greater, such as about 10wt%. A method of reducing emissions from an exhaust stream comprises detecting an oxygen level upstream of a catalyst, and injecting air upstream of the catalyst at designated exhaust conditions. The designated conditions may be a rich air-fuel ratio. The catalyst may be a NOx storage catalyst or a cold start catalyst.

Title: Method and apparatus for training a neural network
Inventor: Nicholas Campbell Fellingham
IPC: G06T17/00
Filed: 2020-06-05
Abstract: A neural network 106 is trained to increase fidelity of captured depth maps for capturing volumetric video. A three-dimensional (3D) model 112 of a scene is generated and used to generate a high-fidelity depth map 116. A perceived depth map of the scene is captured, having a field of view that is aligned with a field of view of the high-fidelity depth map. The neural network is trained based on the high-fidelity depth map and the perceived depth map. A perceived colour map may be captured, and a high-fidelity colour map generated from the 3D model and used to train the neural network to recognise a colour feature is indicative of a depth feature and to increase the fidelity of the captured colour maps. The 3D model may be generated by a fusion process 110 from depth and RGB data 104a-n from a plurality of real-world cameras 102a-n. A subset of the cameras can be used to capture the perceived depth and colour map of the scene. The neural network may be trained on a real-world or virtually generated scene. An output 122 of the neural network more accurately captures the depth of the scene.
