| 20080261323 | Photo-Swichable Surfaces with Controllable Physico-Chemical Properties - Photochromic materials, such as spiropyran dyes, are disclosed that can be used for high-density optical storage and molecular switches. According to the disclosure these compounds can be used as transducers in optical sensors. When the spiropyran dye absorbs UV light it switches to the merocyanine form, and this structure has an active binding site for cations. When cations bind to the site, the resulting colored complex has a new absorption band in the visible spectrum. By shining white or green light on the colored complex, the dye is reverted to the closed spiropyran form, and the cation is released. The disclosure optimizes the immobilization of the spiropyran dye onto a polymer substrate via long chain alkyl groups. These long chain alkyl linkers enable the dye to reversibly form the preferred merocyanine (2):(1) cation sandwich complex. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20100239647 | PHOTORESPONSIVE IONOGEL - A photoresponsive ionogel comprising a photo-responsive polymer polymerised within an ionic liquid matrix is described. This solid-state electrolyte material maintains its ionic liquid characteristics but these characteristics can be altered upon irradiation of the gel with light of a particular wavelength. By suitably configuring the ionogel through the incorporation of specific ions within the gel it is possible to cause dramatic changes in properties of the ionogel such as viscosity, conductivity, acidity, basicity and polarity using light as the stimulus. | 09-23-2010 |

| 20080213133 | FLOW ANALYSIS APPARATUS AND METHOD - A flow analysis apparatus is disclosed. The flow analysis apparatus has at least one wicking channel fluidically coupled to an absorbent pump. A wicking valve is fluidically coupled to the wicking channel to provide a fluidic connection to the sample source where opening the wicking valve allows the absorbent pump to cause liquid to flow down the wicking channel toward the absorbent pump. Other similar wicking valves can be added to provide functions such as calibration and reagent addition. A detection unit allows for analysis of the liquid as it flows down the wicking channel. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20090279773 | IMAGING APPARATUS AND METHOD - Apparatus for inspecting an article comprising: a controller configured to generate a drive signal having a periodic amplitude variation; a source, the source being operable by the controller to emit a source beam thereby to irradiate an article, the source beam comprising a beam of electromagnetic radiation having a periodic amplitude variation corresponding to that of the drive signal; and a detector, the detector being configured to detect a portion of the source beam that has been transmitted through at least a portion of the article, and to generate a detector signal having an amplitude variation corresponding to the amplitude variation of said portion of the source beam, the controller being further configured to generate a difference value corresponding to a difference between the amplitude of the detector signal and the amplitude of a reference signal. | 11-12-2009 |

| 20120103881 | WATER TREATMENT PLANT WITH IMMERSED MEMBRANES - A liquid treatment plant has sets of membrane trains and processing trains with flow between them through channels. Means of withdrawing permeate and sludge from the trains are described. Cyclic aeration is provided to the membrane trains. Methods of foam control, backwashing and chemical cleaning are described. Single membrane trains or process trains may be isolated for various functions. An isolated membrane train may be used to thicken sludge. | 05-03-2012 |

| 20090282039 | APPARATUS FOR SECURE COMPUTATION OF STRING COMPARATORS - We present an apparatus which can be used so that one party learns the value of a string distance metric applied to a pair of strings, each of which is held by a different party, in such a way that none of the parties can learn anything else significant about the strings. This apparatus can be applied to the problem of linking records from different databases, where privacy and confidentiality concerns prohibit the sharing of records. The apparatus can compute two different string similarity metrics, including the bigram based Dice coefficient and the Jaro-Winkler string comparator. The apparatus can implement a three party protocol for the secure computation of the bigram based Dice coefficient and a two party protocols for the Jaro-Winkler string comparator which are secure against collusion and cheating. The apparatus implements a three party Jaro-Winkler string comparator computation which is secure in the case of semi-honest participants | 11-12-2009 |

| 20100054955 | Blades - A rotary blade, such as a turbine blade for a gas turbine engine, has an aerofoil portion with a tip partly shrouded by winglets. A gutter extends across the radially outer face of the tip to leave upstands. Cooling air feed galleries are drilled into each upstand, from the trailing edge, toward the upper end of a cooling air feed void, which is spaced from the trailing edge. Cooling passages are drilled from the winglet edges to the gallery. Cooling air supplied through the void passes along the gallery, through the passages and leaves the blade at the cooling holes. This allows cooling to be provided near the trailing edge of the tip without requiring the geometry around the trailing edge to be thickened to accommodate a cooling air void. | 03-04-2010 |

| 20100098554 | Blade for a rotor - A blade for a rotor, such as a turbine rotor of a gas turbine engine, has a squealer tip comprising a peripheral wall which defines a cavity. A first region of the peripheral wall extends radially, with its outer surface forming a continuation of the adjacent aerofoil surface of the blade. A second region extends obliquely with respect to the radial direction and the adjacent part of the aerofoil surface. The second region defines a winglet, and serves to increase the width of the chamber towards the trailing edge of the blade. | 04-22-2010 |

| 20110255990 | BLADES - A rotor blade for a gas turbine engine has an aerofoil portion and a tip region. The tip region is at the radially outermost end of the blade. The radially outermost surface carries abrasive material (not shown) to interact with an abradable surface. The tip has a recess in which cooling air outlets are formed. The recess is open in a circumferential direction. This allows cooling air outlets to be formed without interference from the abrasive material, and inhibits any tendency for abrasion debris to collect in the recess and interfere with the flow of cooling air. | 10-20-2011 |
