Title: Method of forming quantum dots for extended wavelength operation
Inventor: JONES TIMOTHY SIMON
IPC: H01L21/205
Filed: 2003-05-19
Abstract: A method of forming the active region of an optoelectronic device incorporating semiconductor quantum dots whose ground state emission occurs at wavelengths beyond 1350 nm at a temperature of substantially 293 K is provided by forming a first layer of quantum dots covered by a spacer layer with strained areas extending there through. The spacer layer then forms a template upon which quantum dots of an active layer may be formed with a surface with a surface density and formation that is influenced by the underlying first layer of quantum dots. This allows a choice of growth parameters more favourable to the formation of quantum dots in the active layer emitting at long wavelengths with a narrow inhomogeneous broadening. As an example, the active layer of quantum dots may be formed at a lower temperature than the first layer of quantum dots. The quantum dots of the active layer are then subject to less intermixing with the surrounding spacer and capping layers, and can also preserve a more strain-relaxed state, which results in a longer wavelength emission with a narrower inhomogeneous broadening. This method is particularly well suited to the growth of the active region of an optoelectronic device on a GaAs substrate.

Title: Virtual sector provisioning and network configuration
Inventor: BERNHEIM HENRIK F
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2003-06-27
Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods wherein communication link redundancy may be provided which is optimized to the primary links. Specifically, a redundant link portion of a communication system may be deployed to provide redundant links for a primary link portion of the communication system having substantially greater information communication capacity. However, through the use of isolation of portions of the primary link capacity, such as through the preferred embodiment sectors, sufficient redundant link capacity may be maintained economically. According to a preferred embodiment, a single redundant sector may be coextensive with a plurality of primary sectors and, thus, be relied upon for providing redundant links for any such primary sector. Preferred embodiments allow for the subsectoring of primary sectors while maintaining the configuration of a redundant sector corresponding thereto.

Title: Extravasation detector
Inventor: BRABRAND KNUT
IPC: A61B8/06
Filed: 2003-12-04
Abstract: Ultrasound Doppler probe 2 is placed above the vein downstream of a contrast medium infusion site and measures the flow velocity in the vein. Processor 4 converts the output from the probe 2 into a form that may be displayed as an image on display unit 5. It also determines whether the velocity corresponds to a flow of contrast medium along the vein. If the cannula 13 is properly sited and the contrast medium as desired along the vein, this will lead to an increased flow velocity in the vein. This is detected by ultrasound probe 2 and the processor 4 will determine that no extravasation has occurred. However, where extravasation of contrast medium occurs a low or zero output from probe 2 will result and processor 4 determines that extravasation has occurred, and it immediately sends a "stop" signal, e.g. an alarm, to pump controller 11 which stops pump 10.
Patent AU-2003296086-A1 (AU)
Title: Immunoassay method and kit to be used therein
Inventor: OHASHI TATSUYA
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 2003-12-24
Abstract: Using two types of antibodies, i.e., a first antibody having a higher affinity for a target substance than for a competitive substance and a second antibody having a higher affinity for the competitive substance than for the target substance, a specimen is treated with these two antibodies. Then, the competitive substance in the specimen first binds to the second antibody and thus the ratio of the target substance to the competitive substance in the specimen is enlarged. As a result, the target substance becomes liable to bind to the first antibody and, in its turn, the reactivity of the target substance is elevated compared with the case of using the first antibody alone. Thus, the target substance in the specimen can be accurately assayed while avoiding the effects of the competitive substance contained in the specimen.

Title: Edge analysis in video quality assessment
Inventor: BOURRET ALEXANDRE
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2004-06-04
Abstract: Edge detector techniques, known per se in the art, are applied to the field of automated video quality assessment. Any known edge detection algorithm is used as the basis of an edge detection stage for performing edge analysis of test video fields/frames in order to generate an edge parameter value that can then be used to contribute to an overall video quality value. The use of an edge detector stage contributes valuable information concerning image attributes which are perceptually significant to a human viewer to the quality assessment, thus rendering the result provided by the automated assessment more similar to that which would be performed by a human viewer undertaking a subjective assessment.

Title: Convertisseur de l'energie des vagues
Inventor: BURNS ALAN ROBERT
IPC: F03B13/18
Filed: 2005-05-16
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil (10) qui repose sur le fond de la mer, en un endroit situé en-dessous du niveau de la mer, et permet de capturer l'énergie des vagues. Cet appareil (10) comprend une structure de corps (11) qui présente un diaphragme (25) conçu pour fléchir en réponse à une action des vagues. Une chambre de travail (27) se trouve immédiatement en-dessous du diaphragme (25) et contient un fluide compressible, tel que de l'air. Un système de pompe (43) est logé dans cette chambre de travail (27) et comprend deux pompes à mouvement alternatif (45, 47) qui fonctionnent en opposition. Les pompes (45, 47) sont reliées de manière opérationnelle au diaphragme (25) par un mécanisme à levier (61). De par la géométrie de ce mécanisme à levier (61), la longueur de course de chaque pompe (45, 47) est inférieure à l'amplitude de déplacement du diaphragme (25) lorsqu'il se déplace en réponse à une action des vagues. Ainsi, le mécanisme à levier (61) augmente la force s'exerçant sur chaque pompe (45, 47) d'un taux donné et réduit la course de chaque pompe du même taux. La réduction de la longueur de course permet une construction compacte, de manière que les pompes (45, 47) peuvent facilement être logées dans la chambre de travail (27). Les pompes (45, 47) tirent de l'eau de mer de l'environnement autour de l'appareil (10) et déchargent l'eau de mer sous haute pression. L'eau de mer sous haute pression produite par les pompes peut être transférée jusqu'au rivage afin d'être utilisée dans n'importe quelle application adaptée.

Title: Omni-directional wind power station
Inventor: SURESHAN VAHEISVARAN
IPC: F03D3/04
Filed: 2007-08-06
Abstract: A wind power station comprising an array of individual omni directional, vertical discharge wind turbines, arranged critically spaced in various configurations to generate electrical power. Each of the individual omni directional wind turbines consists of a shroud that captures wind from any direction and directs it to flow vertically through a throat section where an aerofoil multi-bladed rotor is connected to an electrical power generator via a rotating shaft. The intake of the shroud incorporates multiple horizontally curved blades secured in place by multiple vertical walls such that while accelerating and focusing the wind, across the full swept area of the rotor blades, the loss of air from the central collection chamber is significantly reduced by the air flow forming a fluid dynamic gate across inactive faces. The critically arranged configurations generate higher levels of power than a random arrangement of vertical turbine units.
