Patent number: 11346753Abstract: There is provided a kit of parts for assembly into an impactor (100) for aerosol component collection, such as for exhaled breath. The kit of parts is configured such that an impactor component (128) is receivable into the assembly such that, when a sealing component (136) is in a sample collection configuration and an aerosol sample is being received at an aerosol inlet (110) of a housing of the kit, in use, an aerosol flow path (124) of the aerosol sample is directed onto an impaction surface (130) of the impactor component (128) to promote aerosol deposition thereon. The kit of parts is further configured such that the sealing component (136) is changeable in the assembly into a sample containment configuration before removal of the impactor component (128) from the assembly, so as to retain any aerosol components deposited on the impaction surface (130).Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2018Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: University of Northumbria at NewcastleInventors: Volkan Turgul, Sterghios Moschos, Izzet Kale

Publication number: 20210343040Abstract: A method of tracking an object. The method comprises imaging a marker on an object surface using a depth imaging camera, said marker comprising a three-dimensional pattern; generating a representation of the marker; matching the representation of the marker to a representation of a reference three-dimensional pattern in a reference orientation; comparing the representation of the marker to the representation of the reference three-dimensional pattern, and thereby determining a position and orientation of the object relative to the camera.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2019Publication date: November 4, 2021Applicant: UNIVERSITY OF NORTHUMBRIA AT NEWCASTLEInventor: Lars Erik Holmquist

Patent number: 11000902Abstract: A composite machining tool includes a tool body with at least one cutting edge and at least one grinding region. The grinding region is located adjacent to the cutting edge such that there is a gap between the grinding region and the cutting edge and such that when the tool performs a machining action the cutting edge and the grinding region act together on a material surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2016Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF NORTHUMBRIA AT NEWCASTLEInventor: Islam Shyha

Patent number: 6825674Abstract: A microwave holographic measuring method is disclosed. A first electrical signal S of microwave frequency is provided. A first part S1 of the first signal S is directed to a first antenna (101). Predetermined changes of phase and amplitude are applied to a second part S2 of the first signal S to produce a second electrical signal S4 which is coherent with the first part S1 of the first signal S. Microwave radiation is detected at a plurality of locations by means of a second antenna (107) to generate a third electrical signal S5 at each location. The second S4 and third S5 electrical signals are combined to produce a fourth electrical signal.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2003Date of Patent: November 30, 2004Assignee: University of Northumbria at NewcastleInventor: David Smith

Patent number: 6001076Abstract: A device for positioning a patient for surgery. The device is used with an operating table, and includes two arms for resting on the operating table, a patient support, and a lifting mechanism arranged to move the patient support between a first position in which the patient support lies level with the operating table, and a second position above the table. The patient is rolled onto the support in the first position, and is then raised to the second position.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 1998Date of Patent: December 14, 1999Assignees: Nuffield Nursing Homes Trust, University of Northumbria at NewcastleInventors: Brian Thomas Wilson, Daniel Martin
