Title: Spirometer disposable mouthpiece valve with oval shape
Inventor: GARBE BERNHARDT RUDOLPH
IPC: A61B5/087
Filed: 2011-07-26
Abstract: Disposable mouthpieces for use with spirometers are disclosed. Known mouthpieces have a cylindrical cardboard tube 15, with a plastics valve unit consisting of a generally cylindrical short tubular moulding 1 which is a press fit in the interior of the cardboard tube 15, and having internally a hub 6 connected via spokes 5 to the interior wall of the tubular moulding, and a flap valve diaphragm 9 supported on the hub and against the spokes and a circular seating. The moulding 1 has an integral flange 2 to prevent the valve unit being pushed all the way into the cardboard tube. In accordance with the invention, the exterior of the flange 2 is oval, sized so it cannot be inserted into the circular aperture of the spirometer flow tube, so the mouthpiece cannot be inserted the wrong way round. The plastics body may also be oval, to distort the cardboard tube and improve the friction fit therebetween. The flange may project from the body not more than the wall thickness of the cardboard tube, so that it is not pulled off by a user after use.

Title: Multiple view window multi-primary display
Inventor: BROUGHTON BENJAMIN JOHN
IPC: H04N5/20
Filed: 2011-10-28
Abstract: A method of processing image data for display on a multi-primary (e.g. RGBW or RGBY) image display panel, comprises: receiving image data for display; and, in a first mode, determining signal voltages to be applied to sub-pixels of the image display from the received image data and from a secondary data value for the pixel thereby generating luminance variations perceivable at a first viewing display position but substantially not perceivable at a second viewing position (3, 5: Figure 2); thus, wide view (public) or narrow (private) view display modes are provided. Signal voltages applied to sub-pixels may be determined to minimise overall luminance change to a viewer at a second viewing position. Sub-pixel voltages may be changed in opposite directions, e.g. with white (W) or yellow (Y) sub-pixels having opposite voltage changes to red, green and blue (RGB) sub-pixels; voltages may be determined separately for pixel pairs. Luminance (brightness) differences may be compensated for, based on greatest luminance contribution and threshold comparison. Overall chrominance changes may also be reduced, and pixel metamers calculated. Virtual pixels can be defined, sub-pixels being shared between neighbouring virtual pixels.

Title: Methods of associating parent and daughter ions from a sample
Inventor: CLAUDE EMMANUELLE
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2013-03-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to a mass spectrometer and methods of mass spectrometry adapted for assigning fragmentation products to their precursor ions by measuring parent and daughter ions from two or more different areas of a sample and identifying corresponding changes in the number of parent and product ions between said different areas. Initial parent ion selection is not required as sets of parent and fragment ions are associated by comparison of the ion mobility of the parent ions and the ion mobility of the parent ions from which the fragments are derived. Isomeric parent analyte ions which co-elute from the ion mobility separator used for the mobility measurements may be identified by reviewing the combined intensities of two or more unassociated fragment ions with the parent analyte ions. The identification of changes in the quantities of the parent and/or fragment ions may involve conducting image analysis of respective spectra to identify common patterns.
