Patent CA-2581709-C (CA)
Title: A method for calibrating a particle counting apparatus
Inventor: LARSEN ULRIK DARLING
IPC: G01N15/12
Filed: 2005-09-30
Granted: 2014-06-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to calibration of a particle characterisation apparatus in which particles suspended in a liquid are passed through an orifice one by one for characterisation of the particles, for instance by Coulter counting. The calibration does not require utilisation of special calibration particles or liquids. A priori knowledge of the shape of a typical size distribution of a blood sample is utilised to adjust the apparatus based on an initial relatively short counting period of the sample in question. The initially determined size distribution is compared to the corresponding known typical size distribution and the apparatus is subsequently adjusted to counteract possible differences. Upon adjustment of the apparatus, the remaining part of the sample is passed through the orifice for determination of the actual particle size distribution of the remaining sample.

Title: Automatic past error corrections for location and inventory tracking
Inventor: TAN HAN-SHUE
IPC: G01C21/30
Filed: 2006-06-30
Granted: 2014-08-12
Abstract: A system is provided for tracking and maintaining an inventory of location of containers that are stored on cargo ships or in a container yard. The system includes one or more sensors, such as GPS and INS sensors for obtaining real-time position information, as well as a processor configured to automatically provide post processing to recover lost data and to correct erroneous data, such as when real-time position signals are blocked or distorted, the post processing performed by estimating trajectories and correcting the location errors. Post-processed positioning techniques are continuously applied to the stored position data to iteratively determine calibrated position locations to provide calibrated second trajectory segments in a real-time fashion. The calibrated second trajectories are then used to identify the errors in the past real-time position data as soon as a segment of the second calibrated trajectory becomes statistically trustworthy. Corrections can be automatically made in inventory locations stored in a database to correct position errors for the containers.

Abstract: In a specimen collecting method according to the present invention, a specimen is collected from a surface (114a) of a blade. An ultrasonic cutter having a cylindrical cutting blade is fed from the surface (114a) of the blade to a surface (110a) of a base material (100), and thus, a cylindrical incision is formed. After performing cutting to expand the incision outwardly, a rotating cutter (220) having a disc-shaped cutting blade (222) performs cutting inwardly from the cylindrical incision. Thus, a part (20a) situated inside the incision is cut away. The part (20a) becomes the specimen.
