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: Apparatus for depositing germanium and carbon onto one or more substrates comprises a vacuum chamber, at least first and second magnetron sputtering devices and at least one movable mount for supporting the one or more substrates within the vacuum chamber. The first magnetron sputtering device is configured to sputter germanium towards the at least one mount from a first sputtering target comprising germanium, thereby defining a germanium sputtering zone within the vacuum chamber. The second magnetron sputtering device is configured to sputter carbon towards the at least one mount from a second sputtering target comprising carbon, thereby defining a carbon sputtering zone within the vacuum chamber. The at least one mount and the at least first and second magnetron sputtering devices are arranged such that, when each substrate is moved through the germanium sputtering zone on the at least one movable mount, germanium is deposited on the said substrate, and when each substrate is moved through the carbon sputtering zone on the at least one movable mount, carbon is deposited on the said substrate.

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: 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.

Abstract: In a dynamic memory allocator, a method of allocating memory to a process, the method comprising executing on a processor the steps of: creating one or more arenas within the memory, each arena comprising one or more memory blocks and each arena having an n-byte aligned arena address; upon receiving a memory request from the process, returning a pointer to the process, the pointer having as its value an address of a memory block selected from one of the arenas; upon determining that the memory block is no longer needed by the process, retrieving the address of said memory block from the pointer and releasing the memory block; and, upon a new arena being created, shifting forward the n-byte aligned address of said new arena according to a stored variable such that each memory block of said new arena is also shifted by the stored variable, the stored variable having n bytes and the stored variable having a random value.
