    Abstract: A method for use in the spatial registration of first and second objects comprises fixing the first and second objects to the same motion control stage in an unknown spatial relationship, using an imaging system to acquire an image of the first object, determining a position and orientation of the first object in a frame of reference of the motion control stage based at least in part on the acquired image of the first object, using the imaging system to acquire an image of the second object, and determining a position and orientation of the second object in the frame of reference of the motion control stage based at least in part on the acquired image of the second object. The method may be used in the spatial registration of first and second objects and, in particular though not exclusively, for use in the spatial registration of optical or electronic components relative to one another, or for use in the alignment of a first object such as an optical or electronic component relative to a second object such as a feature, a structure, a target area or a target region defined on a substrate or a wafer.

    Abstract: An interface or communications system for a neural probe, the interface or communications system comprising at least one probe interface, an optical communications interface and a processing system. The at least one probe interface is configured to interface with at least one neural probe so as to receive data collected by the probe. The processing system is configured to process the data from the at least one probe interface and provide the processed data to the optical communications interface. The optical communications interface is configured to communicate the processed data to a remote device, e.g. using optical wireless communications. The optical communications interface has the large bandwidth available that will allow the scaling up of recording sites from the neural probe without resulting in undue size, weight and/or power consumption.

    Abstract: A prosthesis socket casting device having a housing and a flexible membrane for receiving a residual limb, the housing and the membrane defining a cavity for containing a fluid. Within the housing are means that are a function of the patient's weight for altering the distribution of the reactive fluid pressure applied when the residual limb is received within the membrane. In a preferred embodiment, the altering means comprise a movable piston that is provided at a lower end of the housing.
