Title: Acid functionalised coated medical device and method of coating such a device
Inventor: NEILAN JOHN
IPC: A61L31/16
Filed: 2018-07-09
Abstract: A medical device such as a stent (10) or medical balloon (40) is functionalised prior to coating with a bioactive material (54), specifically by acidification or basification the contact surface or surfaces (50) of the medical device. Functionalisation with subsequent coating of bioactive agent directly onto the functionalised surface provides a significantly more consistent and reliable coating of bioactive agent on a medical device without requiring containment or time release devices.

Abstract: There is provided a computer-implemented method for arranging one or more sensor devices for detecting events within a domain having one or more dimensions. The method includes iteratively: determining a plurality portions spanning the domain; estimating a normalised rate of events being detected in each portion; selecting, in dependence on the estimated normalised rates, one or more of the determined portions on the basis of an expected reward associated with allocating the one or more sensor devices to the selected one or more portions; arranging the one or more sensor devices to detect events in the selected one or more portions; and receiving event data from the one or more sensor devices, the event data being indicative of dimensional co-ordinates of events detected by the one or more sensor devices within the selected one or more portions. The expected reward depends on an expected rate of events being detected by the one or more sensor devices, penalised by a sensing cost associated with the one or more sensor devices, and the number of determined portions increases with respect to the number of iterations in accordance with a predetermined relationship.

Inventor: ANTOGNINI ALDO
IPC: G02F1/37
Filed: 2020-12-22
Abstract: The present invention proposes a system for frequency conversion of a laser pump radiation comprising an optical element for frequency conversion (frequency-doubling, frequency-halving and more generally to parametric down-conversion) of lasers or laser beams with power scalability. The element comprises a nonlinear birefringent crystal in the shape of a thin plate where a pump beam generates frequency-shifted radiations. Phase-matching or quasi-phase matching conditions are fulfilled in the nonlinear crystal between the various beams. The front- and back-side of the nonlinear crystal are provided with a high-reflective (HR) and a partially-reflective (PR) coating, respectively, to obtain intensity enhancement of both the pump and one of the frequency-converted radiations, and to maintain the relative phase delay between the various beams maximizing conversion efficiency. The the nonlinear crystal is contacted preferably through the HR coating to a heat sink minimizing the temperature inhomogeneity in the nonlinear crystal, in particular in transverse direction. The longitudinal heat flow intrinsic in this scheme leads to power scalability. When used intra-cavity, this nonlinear element also acts as a wavelength-selective component that forces the laser to operate on a resonance of the nonlinear element itself, maximizing frequency conversion. Moreover, this wavelength selectivity paves the way to single-frequency operation of high-power lasers with intra-cavity frequency conversion. Throughout this description the initial laser beam being converted in the nonlinear process is denoted as "pump" and/or "pump beam" and/or "pump radiation".

Title: Fine grained access control on procedural language for databases based on accessed resources
Inventor: KHANDUJA RAKESH
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2020-06-19
Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for controlling access to a database. A data processing application may receive, from a user, a request that includes a procedural language code block to access data elements stored in a distributed database. A procedural language code block analyzer may obtain an access control policy that indicates permissions to access the data elements. A control system may determine, based on the access control policy, that access to a restricted portion of the data elements is denied. A reconstruction system may generate a reconstructed code block that allows the user to access data elements that are not restricted, such as by modifying the request to remove the portion that seeks access to the restricted data elements. The reconstruction system may then provide the modified request to the distributed database to receive the data elements to which the user is permitted to access.
