Patent number: 9928707Abstract: A surveillance system (10) for monitoring movement in a region of interest (18) is described. The surveillance system (10) includes: An image capturing system (12) having a field of view (16) including a region of interest (18), and adapted to capture an image of the region of interest (18). An image processing system (78) configured to process a time-sequential series of images of the field of view from the image capturing system such that at least a portion (52, 53, 54) of each processed image (50) is analyzed for detecting movement within the region of interest (18). The image capturing system (12) is configured to capture, in each image, different apparent magnifications of respective zones (20, 22, 24) within the region of interest (18) in the field of view (16) that are at different distances from the image capturing system (12) such that an object (60) in at least one position in at least two of said zones has substantially the same apparent size in the images.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2012Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: GARRETT THERMAL SYSTEMS LIMITEDInventor: Matthew John Naylor

Patent number: 8295541Abstract: Method and apparatus for detecting change of an object state from an initial state where the object is displayed in a plurality of sequential images. The system involves comparing a measure over a predetermined portion of each of the images corresponding to an object's initial state with a reference value of the measure computed when the object is in the initial state to generate a comparison value for each of the images and then generating a signal indicating that the object state has changed when a predetermined number of the comparison values generated for each of the images do not meet a predetermined criterion.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2005Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Vision Fire & Security Pty LtdInventors: Matthew John Naylor, Matthew Paul Fettke, Neil Cameron Thatcher, Andrew Lennox Davis

Publication number: 20080132445Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for inducing mammary epithelial cell differentiation in mammalian subjects. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods for inducing mammary epithelial cell differentiation which comprise increasing the levels of galanin in the mammary tissue of the subject. In one aspect the present invention relates to a method of increasing milk production in a lactating mammal which comprises increasing the level of galanin or an analog thereof in the mammal. In another aspect the present invention relates to a method of enhancing mammary development in a mammal, the method comprising administering to the mammal galanin or an analog thereof in conjunction with prolactin or an analog thereof. In yet another aspect the present invention relates to a method for inhibiting mammary epithelial tumours by administering an inhibitorially effective therapeutic amount of galanin or an analog thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2003Publication date: June 5, 2008Inventors: Christopher J.
