Title: Mould and method for forming a Contact Lens
Inventor: STIDWORTHY PAUL DAVID
IPC: B24B13/00
Filed: 2012-06-15
Abstract: A kit for forming a contact lens and a method of using the kit; the kit comprises a male mould portion 10 and a female mould portion 5, the male and female mould portions each having a contact surface for, in use, contacting the surface of a moulded contact lens 15, and wherein the polarity of the contact surfaces of the male and female mould portions differ. Preferably, the polarity of the male mould portion is greater than the female mould portion which may be substantially non-polar. The contact surfaces of the mould portions may comprise polypropylene, the contact surface of the male portion may comprise a maleic anhydride graft copolymer. The method comprises forming a contact lens precursor in the mould cavity defined between the mould portions and separating the male and female portions whereby the differing polarities cause the lens precursor to be preferentially retained on either the male or female mould portion. The exposed surface of the contact lens precursor may then be lathed before being released from the remaining mould portion. The use of a polar polymer to retain a contact lens precursor on a surface of a support during a lens finishing and shaping process is further claimed.

Title: Scintillation Detector Gain Control
Inventor: VU HIEU DINH
IPC: G01T1/208
Filed: 2013-09-13
Abstract: From a determination of a plot of total count rate v discrimination level, upper, lower and intermediate values of voltage threshold are determined representing a linear slope on the plot that represents the reference peak. In use with a calibration radiation source, a first comparison is made to determine whether the ratio of counts at upper and lower thresholds represent the correct reference peak. A second comparison is then made between the differences of count rates for intermediate and lower compared with upper and intermediate rates to determine whether the measured reference peak has shifted. If the differences are not approximately equal the gain is adjusted accordingly.

Title: Measurement of sugar in solution
Inventor: MARTIN ROY HARRISON
IPC: G01N33/22
Filed: 2014-12-19
Abstract: Sugar in a sample solution is measured with a sensor system 1, using oscillating electromagnetic fields generated in the sample at at least two radio or microwave frequencies (1kHz to 100GHz). In embodiments, the higher frequency field is generated in a cavity resonator 10 surrounding a pipe 4 through which solution flows, while the field at another frequency is produced by a tank circuit and imparted by a capacitive probe 40 comprising conductive rings 41, though other reactive elements such as coils could be used. Characteristics of the oscillating fields e.g. the resonant or oscillation frequency in the samples presence, that are dependent on the electromagnetic properties such as the complex permittivity or impedance of the solution, are detected at each frequency. By combining measurements, the sugar concentration can be unambiguously distinguished from, for example, the samples ion concentration. The method may be used for glucose measurement in bio-fuel production.
