Patent number: 8970618Abstract: Computer implemented methods and data processing apparatus are described for displaying virtual slide images. Images of a plurality of slides are automatically displayed in a first region of a display device at a first magnification. The slides comprise all the slides including material from a same specimen. An image of at least one of the slides is displayed in a second region at a second magnification greater than the first magnification. At least the image displayed in the second region is changed responsive to receiving user input. Methods for automatically determining a slide layout pattern and methods for virtually melding glass slide images into a single image are also described.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2012Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignees: University of Leeds, The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS TrustInventors: Roy Ruddle, Darren Treanor

Publication number: 20080208071Abstract: A method of measuring the amount of gastric secretion in a mammal involves administering a substance or formulation containing an excess quantity of a water-insoluble carbonate to the mammal to react with acid in the stomach, in which the insoluble carbonate is enriched with at least one isotope selected from 13C, 14C, 17O and 18O in a known amount. The content of the or each selected isotope in the exhaled carbon dioxide is allowed to stabilise before obtaining a sample of exhaled air containing carbon dioxide, and determining the content of the selected or each selected isotope in the exhaled carbon dioxide.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2006Publication date: August 28, 2008Applicant: THE LEEDS TEACHING HOSPITALS NHS TRUSTInventors: Anthony Axon, Michael Clough

Publication number: 20070229558Abstract: A computer implemented method, computer program, data processing device and user interface for controlling display of an image by a program on display device are described. The method includes detecting a command to cause the program to display the image. A password for the program is displayed on the display in a format that depends on at least one characteristic relating to the image quality of the display such that the password can only be perceived by the user if the display is configured to allow the image to be viewed reliably. The program is allowed to display the image if a password entered by the user corresponds to the displayed password and is not allowed to display the image if a password entered by the user does not correspond to the displayed password.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2005Publication date: October 4, 2007Applicant: THE LEEDS TEACHING HOSPITALS NHS TRUSTInventors: David Brettle, Sarah Bacon
