Publication number: 20190206070Abstract: The present invention relates to an image registration method, in particular it relates to an image registration method in for identifying translational shifts between images or signals of arbitrary dimension. The method for registering a plurality of images described herein comprises: obtaining a frequency domain representation of one or more spatial domain or frequency domain functions or filters or kernels, wherein each function emphasises at least one image characteristic; combining functions into a single frequency domain representation function; and applying the combined frequency domain representation function to the images to determine relative displacement. In another aspect, the method for registering a plurality of images also comprises: applying functions to calculate shifts between images; applying phase unwrapping technique to exclude phase data outliers; and employing phase data to calculate subpixel shifts between the images.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2017Publication date: July 4, 2019Inventors: Martyn Peter Nash, Poul Michael Fonss Nielsen, Amir Haji Rassouliha, Andrew James Taberner

Patent number: 9701737Abstract: A microbial adherence inhibitor in the form of fowl egg antibodies is disclosed, along with the method of making it and methods of using it. The inhibitor functions by substantially preventing the attachment of adherence of colony-forming immunogens in the respiratory tracts of host animals and humans. The inhibitor is made by inoculating female birds with the immunogen, harvesting the eggs which contain antibodies to the immunogen, and separating the yolk and albumin from the shells of the eggs. The yolk and albumin contents are administered to animals or human by distributing the contents directly or introducing the contents entrained in air.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2004Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: CAMAS, INCORPORATEDInventors: Peter Nash, Bradley M.

Patent number: 8137679Abstract: A microbial adherence inhibitor specific to lactic acid producing microorganisms, in the form of fowl egg antibodies is disclosed, along with the method of making it and methods of using it. The inhibitor functions by substantially preventing the attachment or adherence of colony-forming immunogens in the fermentators. The inhibitor is made by inoculating female birds with the immunogen, allowing time for an immune response in the female bird and then harvesting the eggs that contain antibodies to the immunogen. The egg contents can be dried or used as a liquid and added to the media in the fermentators. Dependent upon the particular immunogen with which the female bird is inoculated, the egg antibody will specifically bind to the specific immunogen. When bacteria such as Lactobacillus spp. infect fermentation systems, they will further reduce alcohol conversion efficiency. Colony forming immunogens such as Lactobacillus spp.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2009Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Camas IncorporatedInventors: Peter Nash, Bradley M. Mitteness

Publication number: 20110112808Abstract: Anatomical structures such as the musculoskeletal structure of a knee or hip joint, are modeled using a predictive cause-and-effect mathematical model wherein parameters and interactions associated with biological tissues are examined. The model extends over nested small scale parameters (e.g., genetic or cellular) up to macro scale parameters, e.g., body force and motion. The parameter values are populated for a subject or group, and the model is operated iteratively while subjecting the parameters to one or more influences, to project changes over a span of time that encompasses adaptive changes in tissues and also aging and wear.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2009Publication date: May 12, 2011Inventors: Iain Alexander Anderson, Robert Farrer Gilmour, Peter John Hunter, Duane Tearaitoa Kingwell Malcolm, Premakumar Mithraratne, Bo Kyung Shim, Martyn Peter Nash, Poul Michael Fonss Nielsen

Publication number: 20100106475Abstract: A biophysical virtual model of a body or body section of a human subject contains measured parameter values, scan data and images from surface or full body imaging systems, and also descriptive and subject identification data. Data in the model are applied to customize external objects ergonomically to fit a subject, by adjustment or by selection when the objects are configured for one or a group of subjects. The database can be centralized and/or mobile devices carried by users can supply model data to external apparatus. Where a parameter value needed for a subject is unknown, the statistical distribution of the database and the correlation of parameters can supply a probable value and level of certainty. In connection with values that are known for an individual, complexities inherent in the combination of plural parameters can be collected in the model and used in later security screens to confirm the identity of a subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2007Publication date: April 29, 2010Applicant: Auckland UniServices LimitedInventors: Nicolas Peter Smith, David Mortimer Budgett, Peter John Hunter, Duane Tearaitoa Kingwell Malcolm, Leo Koon-Wah Cheng, Martyn Peter Nash, Poul Michael Fonss Nielsen, Andrew John Pullan, Alistair Andrew Young, Oliver Roehrle

Patent number: 7560109Abstract: A microbial adherence inhibitor in the form of fowl egg antibodies is disclosed, along with the method of making it and methods of using it. The inhibitor functions by substantially preventing the attachment or adherence of colony-forming immunogens in the rumen and intestinal tracts of host food animals. The use of antibodies against Fusobacterium necrophorum adherence antigens decreases the colonization of F. necrophorum sufficiently to reduce or eliminate the incidence of liver abscesses in the animals.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2007Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignee: Camas IncorporatedInventors: Peter Nash, Bradley M.

Publication number: 20080311129Abstract: A method for the production of antibodies or microbial adherents administers is disclosed. The antibodies or microbial adherents inhibitors are administered to a patient suffering from strep throat to substantially prevent the adherents of colony-forming immunogens or haptens in the throat of the patient. Application of the antibodies should decrease the colonization of the oropharnyx, and therefore decrease symptoms of the sore inflamed throat and ultimately decrease the need for antibiotics.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2007Publication date: December 18, 2008Applicant: Camas IncorporatedInventors: Peter Nash, Bradley M.

Patent number: 7238351Abstract: The method of producing a microbial adherence inhibitor for administration to food animals to control the incidents of acidosis in food animals by preventing the adherence of colony-forming lactic acid producing bacteria in the rumen or intestinal tracts of the food animals. The method includes inoculating female birds in or about their egg laying age with a lactic acid producing bacteria that colonizes in the intestinal tract of the food animal to be treated. Allowing a period of time sufficient to permit the production in the birds of antibody to the lactic acid producing bacteria and harvesting the eggs laid by such birds. The antibody-containing contents of the eggs are then separated by the shells.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2003Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Inventors: Peter Nash, Bradley M. Mitteness

Publication number: 20060230807Abstract: A method of forming a work piece using a die and a load is provided. The method comprises placing the work piece on a die having a predetermined contour and applying a load on the work piece. The work piece, the die and the load are then heated to an annealing temperature of the work piece such that the work piece, the die and the load are iso-thermal. The method also includes creep forming the work piece such that the work piece develops the predetermined contour during the annealing operation. The work piece, the die and the load are then slow cooled such that the work piece, the die and the load are iso-thermal.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2005Publication date: October 19, 2006Inventors: Stephen Shultz, Peter Nash, Anthony Vinter
