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: 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.
