Title: The use of pooled samples to optimise the efficiency and utility of a rapid, lab-free point-of-care test
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER TOUMAZOU
IPC: G01N33/487
Filed: 2020-11-10
Abstract: A method of testing a group of individuals for the presence of a disease of condition. The method comprises providing a sputum sample from everyone in the group, pooling the samples using a device (e.g. swab). The pooled sample is transferred to an analyser capable of amplifying. The presence of a nucleic acid associated with the disease or condition is determined. A portion of each sample can be retained using a separate device for further analysis to identify which individuals in the group has the disease or condition. The disease or condition can affect the respiratory tract and be a bacterial, viral or fungal infection (e.g. SARS-CoV-2). The nucleic acid detected can be rdrp-IP2, rdrp-IP4, n1, n2 or n3 genes. A positive control such as the ribonuclease P gene can be used. The group can be asymptomatic individuals. The samples can be inserted into a cartridge which is introduced into the analyser. Another aspect of the invention are methods of managing a disease outbreak by determining the presence of a disease or condition in a group. Further aspects of the invention are kits for determining the presence of a disease or condition in a group.

Abstract: A method 500 comprising: implementing model-based control of a process represented by a set of process variables (PVs) including a set of adjustable manipulated variables (MVs) and a set of controlled variables (CVs), dependent on one or more MVs; initiating a scan 505 to obtain a current set of CVs; prior to the scan ending, implementing a dual-mode of operation that includes selecting a current move plan for the set of MVs and a set of constraints for the PVs, including: using the current set of CVs as model inputs for the process model to generate an unconstrained solution and a constrained solution 507, including a series of bounded move plans that avoid violating any of the set of constraints. When the constrained solution is generated before the end of the scan period, a first move plan is selected from the constrained solution 515. When the constrained solution is not generated before the end of the scan period, a first move plan is selected from the unconstrained solution 520. The method further comprises implementing control of the process before the end of the scan period by setting the MVs to a set of values included in the current move plan by: transmitting a set of controller outputs to the field devices to cause the field devices to drive the set of MVs to the set of values.

Title: Progressive 3D point cloud segmentation into object and background from tracking sessions
Inventor: YOCHAY TZUR
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2020-05-06
Abstract: Embodiments of the present systems and methods may provide techniques that provide automatic, reliable performance of the point cloud cleanup task. Embodiments may provide the capability to progressively learn the object- background segmentation from tracking sessions in augmented reality (AR) applications. The 3D point cloud may be used for tracking in AR applications, by matching points from the cloud to regions in the live video. A 3D point that has many matches is more likely to be part of the object, while a 3D point that rarely has matches is more likely to be part of the background. Advantages of this approach include that no manual work is needed to do the segmentation, and the results may be constantly improved over time, as the object is being tracked in multiple environments.
Patent GB-2599048-A (GB)
Title: Optical apparatus and method for outputting one or more photons
Inventor: TERRY RUDOLPH
IPC: H04B10/70
Filed: 2015-09-11
Abstract: Each of a first and second heralded photon sources 4a,b converts pump light photons 6a and 6b into first and second correlated photon pairs 8 and 14, respectively. Each pair comprises one signal photon 8a, 14a and one idler photon 8b, 14b. One of the correlated photons from the first and one from the second source are output into optical path 20. The signal or idler photon from the first source controls the conversion of pump photons in the second source. Detectors and control devices 10 are used for that purpose. A change in the conversion process at the second source is synchronized with the arrival, at the second source, of one of the first signal and idler correlated photons along the optical path. One of the first signal and idler photon can be used to prevent the second source from generating the second correlated pair. Pump light output from the first source is input into the second photon pair source. A series of concatenated photon pair sources is used for on-demand single photon source comprising spontaneous four wave mixing or spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SFWM, SPDC).

Title: Laterally-extended trapped ion mobility spectrometer
Inventor: MEL PARK
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2022-01-25
Abstract: A trapped ion mobility separator (TIMS) comprises an ion region with an elongate cross-sectional profile with a short dimension X and a long dimension Y perpendicular to an ion travel axis Z. Electrodes 211 are arranged along the long dimension Y to exert a confinement force on the ions in the short dimension X. Using first and second counteracting forces along the axis Z (e.g. gas flow, electric DC field or transient electric DC field), ions are trapped and separated by ion mobility along the axis Z during an accumulation phase. During an elution phase, the magnitude of the first and second forces are varied relative to each other over time such that ions exit progressively as a function of ion mobility. Multiple separated ion channels may be generated along the long dimension Y. The elongate cross-sectional profile may be rectangular, elliptical, horseshoe shaped, serpentine or annular. The ion region may taper in the Y direction. The invention may trap ions in an extended volume such that charge capacity is significantly increased and losses of ions by space charge effects is reduced.

Abstract: A preparation method for a carbon dioxide capture agent, and an application thereof. The method comprises: mixing a graphite dispersion liquid, an organic acid solution, a metal salt solution, and silica sol to obtain an organic-inorganic composite gel, standing and aging the organic-inorganic composite gel, performing microwave carbonization treatment on same in a mixed atmosphere of an inert gas and sulfur dioxide, performing pickling or alkaline cleaning to obtain a defect carrier, mixing the defect carrier with an amine substance, and performing ultrasonic treatment on the mixture to obtain the carbon dioxide capture agent. According to the method, carbonization is performed on a carbon-based framework material using an organic acid as a carrier, and a metal framework material using a metal salt as a carrier to obtain a carbon-metal composite carrier. The carrier prepared by compounding carbon with the metal salt is stable in structure, developed in activity, and larger in specific surface area. The carrier is treated by using sulfur dioxide, and is then subjected to defect treatment by means of pickling. Structural defects are generated in pores of the carrier, the interlayer spacing of a carbon material can be increased, the transfer limitation of amine in the material carrier is reduced, and the utilization rate of amine is increased, thereby increasing the carbon capture amount.

Title: A system for protecting computer software programs by preventing its illegal copying.
Inventor: SKALKOS PETROS
IPC: G06F1/00
Filed: 1994-12-19
Abstract: The system for protecting software programs for IBM compatible PCs proposed prevents illegal copying of the programs (software piracy) at a very small increase of the cost of the protected software program. A magnetic floppy disk (key-diskette) is used as the means for protection. This is attacked by a laser beam which leaves a "mark" on the diskette. The system uses a special method for controlling the authenticity of the mark, in order to determine whether the protection disk is authentic. The presence of the mark, along with the presence of the system for checking its authenticity renders copying of disk impossible, even by the most advanced copying devices.
