    摘要: A liquid-flow monitoring device (10) arranged to monitor the flow of liquid in a conduit. The device (10) comprises sampling means (20), processing means (30) and data storage means (40). The sampling means is arranged to receive data substantially continuously from a sensor (12) indicative of at least one variable sensed by the sensor (12) indicative of fluid flow in a conduit and to sample the data to produce a stream of sampled data. The processing means (30) is arranged to process the stream of sampled data to extract at least one sub-sampled stream therefrom, the sub-sampled stream comprising a plurality of data sets, each data set being a statistical subset of the stream of sampled data over a respective data-set period. The data storage means (40) is arranged to store the at least one sub-sampled stream.

    摘要: An optical arrangement for oblique plane microscopy comprising:
    a first optical subassembly, including an objective lens arranged to receive light from a sample in use, and configured to produce an intermediate image of the sample; and
    a second optical subassembly focused on the intermediate image, the optical axis of the second optical subassembly being at an angle to the optical axis of the first optical subassembly at the point of the intermediate image, such that the second optical subassembly images an oblique plane in the intermediate image, corresponding to an oblique plane in the sample.
    Also provided is a method of performing oblique plane microscopy comprising directing an incident beam of light through an objective lens to illuminate or excite an oblique plane in a sample, and receiving light from the sample through the same objective lens, wherein the incident beam of light is incident on the sample at an angle of substantially 90° relative to the beam of light received from the sample.

    摘要: An acetabular cup implant (100) comprises a part-spherical cup the rim (110) of which varies in height around the cup so as to define a recess (112) for location between the pubis and the ischium, a further recess (120) for location between the pubis and the ilium, and a further recess for location between the ilium and the ischium. The height of the cup varies symmetrically about a point on the rim, so that identical implants can be used for left and right hips.

    摘要: The invention relates to biomarkers, and to novel biological markers for diagnosing various conditions, such as cancer. In particular, the invention relates to the use of these compounds as diagnostic and prognostic markers in assays for detecting cancer, such as pancreatic cancer and/or colorectal cancer, and corresponding methods of detection. The invention also relates to methods of determining the efficacy of treating these diseases with a therapeutic agent, and apparatus for carrying out the assays and methods. The assays are qualitative and/or quantitative, and are adaptable to large-scale screening and clinical trials.
