Abstract: An optical sensor for multispectral analysis of a fluid sample comprises at least one light source, at least one interference filter, and a plurality of light detectors arranged such that light emitted by the at least one light source is incident on the at least one interference filter. There is a spatial variation in the intensity of light incident on the said at least one interference filter.

Abstract: Apparatus for depositing one or more variable interference filters onto one or more substrates comprises a vacuum chamber, at least one magnetron sputtering device and at least one movable mount for supporting the one or more substrates within the vacuum chamber. The at least one magnetron sputtering device is configured to sputter material from a sputtering target towards in the mount, thereby defining a sputtering zone within the vacuum chamber. At least one static sputtering mask is located between the sputtering target and the mount. The at least one static sputtering mask is configured such that, when each substrate is moved through the sputtering zone on the at least one movable mount, a layer of material having a non-uniform thickness is deposited on each said substrate.

Abstract: A mechanical bioreactor for transferring vibrations to cell cultures for the purpose of stimulating various biological processes across a relatively large (relative to the amplitude of the vibrations) sample receiving surface. This bioreactor allows multiple samples to receive identical stimulation, which may enable the process to be significantly scaled up. The invention may be particularly applicable to nanoscale vibration amplitudes, where it is non-trivial to design a device that performs this function, because many materials exhibit natural deformation on a scale that would mask or inhibit transfer of nanoscale vibration energy.
