Title: Method for detection of incorrect deposition on a MALDI sample support
Inventor: GRIEGER MARCUS
IPC: G01N33/00
Filed: 2013-11-25
Abstract: A method for the detection of incorrect deposition on a MALDI sample support 100 with several separate sample sites 102, comprises sampling an area 104 located between two sample sites with a desorption laser during or after the preparation on the sample support. The method also comprises acquiring a signal of an ion detector in a mass spectrometer in temporal relation to the sampling, and examining the signal for the presence of a signal shape which indicates incorrect deposition. Preferably, the signal detected by the ion-detector has a mass-independent intensity value, and the signal shape that indicates an incorrect deposition is an intensity value which is above an intensity threshold essentially determined by noise. Alternatively, the signal recorded by the ion detector is a mass-resolved mass spectrum, and the signal shape indicating incorrect deposition is an ion signature in the mass spectrum which deviates from a predetermined reference signature. The areas between sample sites may be coated with a substance which has a characteristic ion signature.

Abstract: Method for tracking objects in a stream of video frames, comprising: recording a stream of video frames of a scene that includes an object, over time; associating data regarding the object with at least one radio frequency transmitter (RF tag) positioned at the location of the object in the scene; using RF readers (receivers) to generate RF values, that are synchronised over time with the video images, using the RF signal from the RF tag; determining a function to translate the RF values into a pixel location, that enables a field of view to be identified, for the object in each video frame. Radio frequency values may depend on a signal strength indicator and transmission power of the transponder signal. Pixel location and object information may be embedded in each video frame. An interactive region may be overlaid on the object location and user interaction such as clicking or mouse over may trigger actions such as providing information associated with the object. A configuration or calibration RF value may be normalised. The object may be displayed in a seperate area of the screen from the video sequence.

Title: Vacuum cleaner having a dual power supply
Inventor: STEPHEN GREETHAM
IPC: A47L9/28
Filed: 2015-07-21
Abstract: A vacuum cleaner comprises a vacuum motor 3 and a power supply 4. The power supply 4 comprises input terminals for connection to an AC source (mains), output terminals connected to the vacuum motor 3, an AC-to-DC stage 12, and a battery 13. The AC-to-DC stage 12 converts alternating current drawn from the AC source into direct current that is supplied to the battery 13 and the vacuum motor 3. The power supply operates in a first mode when disconnected from the AC source and a second mode when connected to the AC source. When the power supply operates in the second mode, the vacuum motor 3 operates in either a low-power state or a high-power state. When the vacuum motor 3 operates in the low-power state, the vacuum motor 3 and the battery 13 each draw power from the AC source such that the battery charges. When the vacuum motor 3 operates in the high-power state, the vacuum motor 3 draws power from both the AC source and the battery 13 such that battery 13 discharges. The AC-to-DC stage 12 preferably adjusts the power drawn from the AC source in response to changes in the voltage of the battery 13.
