Abstract: Disclosed is a method of generating atomic spin orientation in an atomic ensemble. The method includes providing a steady magnetic field (5) to the atomic ensemble to cause a Zeeman splitting within first and second manifolds of the ground state of the atomic energy levels of the atomic ensemble. The method includes pumping the atomic ensemble with an electromagnetic optical radiation beam, the beam being detuned from a transition involving the first manifold such that a majority of the atomic population of the first manifold in the atomic ensemble is transferred from the first manifold into a magnetic Zeeman sublevel of the second manifold. A system for generating an atomic spin orientation in a 15 atomic ensemble is also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and devices for the inactivation of pathogens (e.g., bacteria, viruses, etc.) in ex vivo stored blood products, such as plasma and/or platelets, by means of directing visible light radiation from an illuminating device into blood product storage containers in order to achieve effective pathogen inactivation without the presence of an added photosensitising agent in the blood product. An exemplary apparatus includes a control unit that operates a light source that emits light in the wavelength region of about 380-500 nm which is directed onto blood product storage bags at sufficient intensity to penetrate the bag material and the opaque blood product therein in order to inactivate pathogens in the blood product but at dose levels that cause no significant detrimental effects on the blood product.

Abstract: The invention enables an optical voltage sensor, comprising a piezoelectric actuator mechanically coupled to an optical strain sensor (such as a fibre Bragg grating), to withstand lightning impulses, the effects of which would otherwise be harmful or destructive to the piezoelectric actuator and/or other sensitive components. As such, the optical voltage sensor, comprised within a photonic voltage transducer which also comprises a lightning impulse attenuator, is able to comply with relevant standards and be used for applications in power networks and exposed to the highest voltages for equipment.

Abstract: An atomic magnetometer system is disclosed that includes a variable magnetic field source (14) configured to provide an oscillating primary magnetic field to cause a sample (16) to produce a secondary magnetic field. The atomic magnetometer system also includes an atomic magnetometer for detecting the secondary magnetic field. The atomic magnetometer includes an atomic specimen, a pump and probe subsystem configured to pump the atomic specimen to create a polarisation and to probe atomic coherence precession within the atomic specimen with a probe beam, a detector configured to detect the probe beam to produce a detection signal. The system is configured to drive the variable magnetic field source (14) in dependence on the detection signal with a frequency tuned to rf resonance. A method of operating an atomic magnetometer is also disclosed.

Abstract: An orally dissolvable film includes at least one layer comprising a first pharmaceutically active ingredient; a resinate comprising an ion exchange resin and a second pharmaceutically active ingredient; and a matrix and/or binder. The provision of a first pharmaceutically active ingredient, e.g., dispersed or dissolved in the film, and of a resinate comprising an ion exchange resin and a second pharmaceutically active ingredient, may allow immediate release of the first active ingredient, and controlled, sustained and/el or delayed release of the second active ingredient.
