20090298114 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR IMAGING AND MODIFICATION OF BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES - This invention relates to enrichment of a biological sample comprising a plurality of cells to assist further analysis thereof. It provides a technique comprising the steps of: (a) providing a sample comprising a plurality of cells which include a photosensitive compound that can be induced by light irradiation to inactivate or kill at least part of the respective cell; (b) acquiring an image of at least a portion of the sample; (c) identifying cells of interest in the sample image; (d) selecting cells other than the cells identified in step (c); and (e) irradiating only those cells selected in step (d) with a light beam so as induce the photosensitive compound therein to inactivate or kill at least part of those cells, and thereby enrich the sample with respect to the cells of interest for further analysis. | 12-03-2009 |

20080315119 | Method of Analysing a Sample and Apparatus Therefor - A method for performing photo-modification of a biological sample, the method comprising: (a) irradiating the sample; (b) detecting one or more signals based on the irradiated sample; (c) using one or more processor means to analyze the detected signals and determine one or more irradiation parameters, and, (d) returning to (a) conditioned on the irradiation parameters. Thus modifications may be determined and executed interactively as an experiment progresses, and therefore directed towards specific structures and/or events identified as of particular interest in the course of the experiment. | 12-25-2008 |

20100124145 | MIXING APPARATUS AND PROCESS - A continuous, semi-continuous or fed-batch mixing apparatus and process for producing and maintaining a consistently mixed substance uses a tubular vessel equipped with a plurality of annular baffles configured to initiate and maintain uniform mixing and efficient dispersion of the substance in the tubular vessel, with a pump to impart unidirectional linear and non-oscillatory motion to the substance in the tubular vessel thereby promoting and maintaining uniform mixing and efficient dispersion of the substance. | 05-20-2010 |
20100216631 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FLUID-LIQUID REACTIONS - A method and apparatus for fluid-liquid reactions including gas-liquid and liquid-liquid reactions. The method and apparatus is suitable for mixing a fluid phase species and a liquid phase species to facilitate chemical reaction between said phases. The apparatus comprises a reactor vessel with a plurality of orificed plates and flow control means which initiates and maintains uniform mixing and efficient dispersion of a fluid-liquid mixture within the reactor vessel. | 08-26-2010 |

20150336638 | Anchor Positioning System - An anchor and an anchor positioning system are provided in which an anchor shackle is arranged such that, in use, it is disposed within a chasing collar. The anchor shackle can be positioned in a locking position in the chasing collar in which rotational movement of the anchor shackle around its longitudinal axis is inhibited. The anchor shackle may also be positioned in an unlocked position in the chasing collar. The anchor shackle can rotate around its longitudinal axis from the unlocked position to the locking position. Accordingly, the anchor shackle assists in maintaining the anchor in a desired orientation corresponding to the locking position. | 11-26-2015 |

20100309910 | BANDWIDTH ASSIGNMENT - A demand assignment process for a packet switching communications system in which a terminal requests capacity from a scheduler for the transmission of bursts of packets, and in which the scheduler determines whether the burst is complete by identifying gaps in the traffic stream and preferentially allocates capacity to those terminals currently in the middle of transmitting a burst, allowing transmission of further packets of the burst. | 12-09-2010 |

20090003492 | High Data Rate Demodulation System - The demodulation process of a wireless data transmission system using multi-level symbols makes use of templates corresponding to each of the possible symbol transitions, so that knowledge of previously decoded symbols can be use to decode the next one. The weighting and/or timing of individual samples of each symbol is varied in response to the performance of the symbol identification process. | 01-01-2009 |

20110014885 | UPDATING CHANNEL ESTIMATES - MIMO OFDM receiver which periodically forms a channel estimate and compares: a: an estimate of the capacity of the channel if the transmitter were to make use of the receiver's channel estimate (closed loop) with b: an estimate of the capacity of the channel if the transmitter were to make no use of channel estimate (open loop), and send data on the channel estimate to the transmitter only when (b−a)>k, where k is a pre-set threshold. | 01-20-2011 |
