Abstract: A medical device for collecting thrombi comprises inner (12) and outer (10) catheters, an inflatable balloon (16), an inflation lumen (18), inflation fluid and a pump for providing inflation fluid to the balloon (16), and an aspirator (2) for drawing the object into the inner tube. The inner (12) and outer (10) catheters have proximal and distal (10d,12d) ends and lumens (11, 13). The balloon (16) is connected at its first end (16a) to the distal end (10d) of the outer catheter (10), and its second end to the distal end (12d) of the inner catheter (12). The aspirator (2) is connected to the proximal end of the inner catheter (12). In use the distal end (12d) of the inner catheter (12) is manoeuvred to be proximate the object to be removed. When the distal end (12d) of the inner catheter (12) reaches the thrombus (24), the outer sheath (26) is withdrawn proximally over the balloon (16) and outer tube (10), exposing the balloon (16) to the vessel. The balloon (16) is inflated and then everted to remove the thrombus (24). The aspirator (2) is activated to aid removal of the thrombus (24) from the vessel (22).

Title: Injection device
Inventor: COWE TOBY
IPC: A61M5/315
Filed: 2013-07-25
Abstract: An injection device 1 has a plunger 60 to act on a syringe 20. An actuation spring 40 provides a biasing force to urge the plunger from a first rearward position to a second forward position to express medicament from the syringe 20. A latch member 50 has an aperture 54 through which the rearward end of the plunger extends in its rearward position so as to be retained against the force of the actuation spring. A trigger 70, preferably an axially moveable button, can release the plunger from the latch member. The rearward end of the plunger is provided with an enlarged head 66 and the latch member is arranged to at least partially radially displace to expand the aperture and so release the enlarged head. The trigger is moveable between a primed position in which it prevents displacement of the latch member and a release position in which it allows displacement of the latch. It may engage directly with the plunger to reinforce the force of the spring.

Title: Method for manufacturing an oxide/oxide composite material turbomachine blade provided with internal channels
Inventor: PODGORSKI MICHAEL
IPC: B29C70/24
Filed: 2013-12-05
Abstract: A ceramic oxide/oxide composite turbomachine blade 10 comprises a fibre reinforcement obtained by 3 dimensional weaving. The reinforcement also includes a first sacrificial core (Fc1, figure 8A) and a second sacrificial core fc1 wound around the first core. The reinforcement is densified by a matrix, and then sintered at a first temperature. The first core is then eliminated e.g. by melting, burning or chemical reaction, leaving an internal channel 21 in the blade. A second densification step is then performed by introducing an aqueous suspension through the channel 21, which ensures adequate impregnation of the matrix into the core of the blade. This is followed by a second sintering step, and eliminating the second sacrificial core fc1 to produce a spiral cooling passage extending in the longitudinal direction of the blade.

Title: Pixel cache, method of operating pixel cache, and image processing device including pixel cache
Inventor: CHUNG YOUNGJIN
IPC: G06T1/60
Filed: 2014-01-24
Abstract: A method of operating a pixel cache having a plurality of line-fill units and configured to fetch an image stored in a main memory comprises: receiving a request for image data from an image processing device and outputting the image data if it is determined to be present in the pixel cache (i.e. a hit). If the requested image data is determined not to be present in the pixel cache (i.e. a miss), the image data is fetched from the main memory and stored in the pixel cache line-fill units. The image data is requested/supplied in image planes where an image plane includes at least a 2x2 pixel array and has a size equivalent to the capacity of the pixel cache linefill units. A pixel cache additionally including a tag memory for tag frames and an associated image processing device are also claimed. By providing an image pixel cache, faster access to image data may be provided in the first instance without necessitating time-consuming access to the main memory. Such access facilitates faster processing of the requested image data.

Title: Methods and apparatus relating to particulate monitors
Inventor: ROGER BRADLEY MILLINGTON
IPC: G01N21/53
Filed: 2014-10-31
Abstract: A sample chamber has a gas sample flow 30 from a flue or stack, with light (70, Fig 1) being directed non-parallel, such as orthogonal, through the sample flow, the light scattered (80, Fig 1) from particles being detected, and a curtain of gas 120 thermally isolates the sample flow from the sample chamber walls.
