20160069809 | Cervical Sample Preparation For Reduced Variability In Raman Spectroscopy - A method of performing a spectroscopy process on a fixed biological sample is described. The method comprises the steps of: (i) treating the fixed biological material to cause oxidation of haemoglobin present in the fixed biological material, and (ii) performing spectroscopy on the treated fixed biological sample. The method is particularly suitable for cervical sample preparation for reduced variability in Raman spectroscopy. | 03-10-2016 |
20140168956 | ENHANCED EMERGENCY LIGHTING BARRIER - Provided is a traffic barrier for alerting oncoming traffic, comprising: a first post, a second post, an expandable barrier portion provided between the first and second posts, the barrier comprising an arrangement of pivotably connected arms, at least one lighting element provided on at least one of the pivotably connected arms. Also provided is a traffic barrier for alerting oncoming traffic, the traffic barrier having an collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, the traffic barrier comprising: an expandable barrier portion comprising a plurality of pivotably connected arms arranged in a lazy tongs fashion to allow the barrier to expand from the collapsed configuration to the expanded configuration along a first axis, a first leg, and a second leg, wherein the first and second legs extend in a direction transverse to the first axis in the expanded configuration but withdraw towards the arms moving to the collapsed configuration. | 06-19-2014 |
20120288785 | HOLOGRAPHIC SENSOR - A sensor device comprising a holographic element comprises a grating or hologram recorded in a holographic recording medium wherein at least one physical and/or chemical and/or optical characteristic of the holographic element or the image produced by it varies as a result of variation in relative humidity or moisture content in the air surrounding the element. Also provided is an acrylamide-based photopolymer and an acrylamide-based reflection hologram. | 11-15-2012 |
20110028311 | Visible Light Activatable Photocatalyst - A visible light activatable mesoporous titanium dioxide photocatalyst having a surface area of from 100 m | 02-03-2011 |
20090246642 | HOLOGRAPHIC DETECTION OF ANALYTE BY ACTIVE DYE - We propose a method of detecting the presence of certain chemical and biochemical substances by virtue of the fact that they are, or have attached to them, either a dye molecule which acts as a photosensitizer for a holographic recording process, or another essential molecular component of the holographic recording material such as a monomer or a free radical generator. A recording material used in the process utilizes a photopolymer system consisting of a monomer and a crosslinking monomer, a free radical generator, a photosensitizer and, additionally, a polymeric binder when dry formulations are required and specifically lacks the substance to be detected. Subsequent holographic exposure records an interference pattern only where the complementary substance is present. Applications are broad ranging. Examples in diagnostics, printing, security, and environmental monitoring are given. | 10-01-2009 |
20090060207 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SOUND SOURCE SEPARATION - The present invention relates generally to the field of audio engineering and more particularly to methods of Sound Source Separation, where individual sources are extracted from a multiple source recording. More specifically, the present invention is directed at a method of analysis of stereo recordings to facilitate the separation of individual musical sound sources from stereo music recordings. In particular, the method provides for A method of modifying a stereo recording for subsequent analysis, the stereo recording comprising a first channel signal and a second channel signal, the method comprising the steps of: converting the first channel signal into the frequency domain, converting the second channel signal into the frequency domain, defining a set of scaling factors, producing a frequency azimuth plane by 1) gain scaling the frequency converted first channel by a first scaling factor selected from the set of defined scaling factors, 2) subtracting the gain scaled first signal from the second signal, and 3) repeating steps 1) and 2) individually for the remaining scaling factors in the defined set to produce the frequency azimuth plane which represents magnitudes of different frequencies for each of the scaling factors and which may be used for subsequent analysis. | 03-05-2009 |
