Title: Magnetic transmission assembly and corresponding split phase motor
Inventor: PENG MINGTSAN
IPC: H02K19/12
Filed: 2012-07-31
Abstract: A magnetic transmission assembly is adapted to be combined with a motor or generator. The magnetic transmission assembly comprises a rotor, a stator and a magnetic conducting component. The rotor and the stator are set together coaxially and respectively have R and ST1 pole pairs. The magnetic conducting component, which has magnetic conductors, is set between the rotor and the stator. When the magnetic conducting component is actuated, the magnetic conducting component selectively makes PN1 or PN2 magnetic conductors above mentioned set between the rotor and the stator. The magnetic conductors corresponding to the rotor and the stator interact with the magnetic fields produced by the R pole pairs and the ST1 pole pairs and hence achieve the predetermined speed change ratio. The driving power density can be improved by internally combining the magnetic transmission assembly with the electric motor.

Title: Diagnosing a condition using an octave ratio of electrovestibulograph signals
Inventor: BURKHARD FRANZ
IPC: A61B5/04
Filed: 2012-09-07
Abstract: A first set of frequency characteristics and amplitude characteristics of a first electrical signal deriving from rhythmic activity of a nerve in a living body are detected at a first condition. The nerve is stimulated to a second condition and a second set of frequency characteristics and amplitude characteristics of a second electrical signal deriving from the rhythmic activity of said nerve is detected. The fundamental frequency present in the frequency characteristics is identified. From the fundamental frequency the frequencies corresponding to a plurality of octaves of said fundamental frequency are calculated. The amplitude of said electrical signals at said octaves is identified. For said first signal a first amplitude ratio is calculated being the ratio of the amplitude difference between a first pair of said octaves, and the amplitude difference between a second pair of said octaves. For said second signal a second amplitude ratio is calculated being the ratio of the amplitude difference between said first pair of octaves, and the amplitude difference between said second pair of octaves. An octave ratio is calculated being the ratio of said first amplitude ratio to said second amplitude ratio. The octave ratio is used as a measure of said bodily function. Electrovestibulography (EVestG) is used to measure activity of the vestibular nerve, in order to monitor vestibular function. Stimulation is via head rolling or hot/cold air. The calculated octave ratio may be used in the diagnosis of disorders such as benign paroxysmal positioning vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis and MÃ©niÃ¨res disease.

Title: Scale estimation for object segmentation in a medical image
Inventor: NAKANO YUTA
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2014-08-28
Abstract: The present invention defines a method and apparatus for scale estimation of an object in an image. The method comprises displaying the image containing the object, LN, a user inputting a boundary shape or boundary box, 40, around the object and a processing range, 310, being defined based on the boundary shape.

Scale estimation is then performed, preferably using a Laplacian-of-Gaussian (LoG) filter, on the points contained in the processing range. The method of scale estimation may be used as part of an object segmentation process in, for example, the processing of medical images containing objects such as lymph nodes, nodules, tumours or lesions. Also disclosed are a method and apparatus for estimating a centre of an object in which a boundary shape is input around the object, a central point of the boundary shape is established and then the position of the centre of the object estimated based on the central point of the boundary shape.

Title: Simple fuel cycle for molten salt reactors
Inventor: IAN RICHARD SCOTT
IPC: G21C19/42
Filed: 2014-10-12
Abstract: Fuel for a molten salt fuelled nuclear reactor is prepared from spent nuclear fuel by removal of excess uranium, isolation of actinides by conversion to halides, reduction of the halides to metal and conversion of the metal to halide in such a way that noble metal fission products and group 1 and 2 elements are largely removed and lanthanide fission products are partially removed. This is performed by reducing the uranium content via volitilisation as a tetrahalide, under conditions where the plutonium, curium and americium remain as trihalides, which are then reduced to metals, and finally conversion of the resulting metals to halide salts for use in a molten salt reactor. Also provided is a means of recycling spent nuclear fuel by the addition of concentrated fissile isotopes coupled with reduction in concentration of uranium or other neutron absorbing but non fissile isotope in the reactor and removal of noble metal fission products.
