    摘要: An imaging apparatus for imaging a sample (7) comprises an array of electronically addressable pixels (6) wherein each pixel is arranged to support a surface plasmon resonance therein to generate an evanescent electromagnetic field. This field extends transversely from the pixel so as to be salient from the array at a first side of the array for illuminating the sample at said first side. A light source (15) is arranged to illuminate the array with excitation light therewith to generate said surface plasmon resonance. An optical detector (12A, 12B, 12C) is arranged at a second side of the array which is opposite to said first side of the array for detecting optical radiation returned from the array in response to illumination of the array by said excitation light. A processing unit (4) is arranged to associate the detected optical radiation with the address of the pixel or pixels within the array at which the surface plasmon resonance was generated.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for tiered data sharing privacy assurance in responding for requests to inspect investigative data. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for tiered data sharing privacy assurance in responding for requests to inspect investigative data includes receiving a request to access investigative data and applying a privacy test to the request to determine if the request is specific for an individual or generic to any individual. On condition that the privacy test is determined to be generic, the request may be denied. But otherwise, on condition the test is determined to be specific, a data sharing rule that defines a degree to which the investigative data is to be shared may be applied and the request responded to according to the defined degree.

    摘要: The present invention is concerned with a fibre membrane for use in a Membrane Supported Biofilm Reactor (MSBR) or the like, the fibre membrane comprising a substantially cylindrical sidewall defining an internal lumen from which gas can permeate through the sidewall, and characterised in that at least a part of an outer surface of the fibre membrane is engineered to define at least one biofilm retaining region which acts to retain a quantity of biofilm therein, in particular when the fibre membrane is subjected to a high sheer biofilm control event, such as experienced during a reactor cleaning cycle, for removing excess biofilm in order to prevent clogging of the reactor.
