    Abstract: An ear examination tool comprises a handle and a speculum mount coupled to the handle. The speculum mount is configured for retaining a disposable speculum. An spacing element is coupled to the handle and extends from the handle. A smartphone mount is coupled to the spacing element, and the spacing element is configured to maintain an optical separation distance between the speculum mount and the smartphone mount. The tool enables a clear view of the ear canal while allowing access by, and manipulation of, a microsuction tool being inserted into the ear canal. The extensive optical and data processing functionality of a "smartphone" can be integrated at low cost into an ear examination tool to provide a substantially improved piece of equipment for assisting in ear examination and microsuction of the ear.

    Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus for fluidic exfoliation of a layered material comprising: a housing of circular cross-section defined by a housing wall; a hollow rotor of circular cross-section having a first end and a second end and a wall positioned therebetween arranged concentrically within the housing, wherein the wall of the hollow rotor defines an inner chamber and the space between the wall of the hollow rotor and the housing wall defines an outer chamber, and wherein a fluid flow path is provided between the inner chamber and the outer chamber; a fluid inlet in fluid communication with the inner chamber or the outer chamber; and a fluid outlet in fluid communication with the other of the inner chamber or the outer chamber; wherein the outer chamber has a width such that on passage of a fluid comprising the layered material from the inlet to the outlet through the outer chamber, a shear rate sufficient to exfoliate the layered material may be applied to the fluid comprising the layered material in the outer chamber by rotation of the hollow rotor.

    Abstract: Apparatus for achieving masing at room temperature, the apparatus comprising: a microwave cavity which exhibits a resonance of sufficiently high Q-factor for maser oscillation; a resonator structure comprising a masing medium located within a resonant element, wherein the masing medium comprises spin-defect centres, the resonator structure being disposed within the microwave cavity; means for applying a magnetic field across the masing medium; an input of microwave radiation to be amplified, the input of microwave radiation being coupled to the resonator structure; and means for optically pumping the masing medium and thereby causing stimulated emission of microwave photons; wherein the microwave cavity has an effective magnetic mode volume matching the volume of the masing medium. A corresponding method for producing masing at room temperature is also provided.

    Abstract: Processes for the preparation of composite membranes are disclosed, as well as the composite membranes obtainable by these processes. The processes employ a step of roller coating a porous support substrate with an essentially solventless coating mixture containing a cationically UV curable compound, which can then be cured in an oxygen-containing atmosphere. The process thereby dispenses with–or greatly reduces the impact of–a number of the prominent processing constraints of prior art techniques, thereby affording a more streamlined and less energetically burdensome membrane manufacturing process.

    Abstract: Apparatus for monitoring activation in a heart comprises a probe (101), a plurality of electrodes (102) supported on the probe and extending over a detection area of the probe, the detection area being arranged to contact a detection region of the heart. Each of the electrodes (102) is arranged to detect electrical potential at a respective position in the heart during movement of a series of activation wave fronts across the detection region. A processor is arranged to analyse the detected electrical potentials to identify a propagation direction of at least one of the wave fronts, and to generate an output indicative of that direction.
