Publication number: 20120154751Abstract: In one example of the invention a patient display is provided on which a fixation graphic or video is shown in substantially the centre of the display, and then target graphics or video are shown at different positions on the display about the centre. A test subject is positioned in front of the patient display a known distance therefrom, and a camera captures an image of the test subject's eyes, to allow gaze direction determination to be performed. The captured images are displayed to a clinician user by a controlling test application, the clinician making a determination based on the images as to whether the test subject saw a target graphic or video when it was displayed. The clinician user then makes an appropriate input into the controlling test application, which also logs the position at which the target image was displayed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2010Publication date: June 21, 2012Applicants: University of York, Cambridge Enterprise LimitedInventors: Adar Pelah, Allen Louise Elizabeth, Slater Michael Edward, Jackson Andrew Robert

Patent number: 8154284Abstract: An NMR method is presented having enhanced sensitivity on a compound comprising hyperpolarizable nuclei, in particular applying enhanced PHIP. Polarization is thereby transferred from a prepared fluid, which is enriched with symmetric molecules of a particular spin state (e.g. para-hydrogen enriched), directly to the hyperpolarizable nuclei of a compound, without altering the chemical identity of the compound in this process. Spin transfer is achieved using a template having sites of ordered environment, and the fluid and the compound are brought together in the presence of the template. Polarization transfer to the hyperpolarizable nuclei of the compound is thereby easier to perform and can be applied to a broader scope of compounds.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2008Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: University of YorkInventors: Simon Benedict Duckett, Gary George Green, Paul Ian Elliott, Joaquin Lopez-Serrano

Patent number: 8133729Abstract: Urothelium is the specialized endothelium that lines much of the mammalian urinary tract. This invention relates to the field of in vitro urothelial culture. Previous methods produce tissue lacking much of the functionality of native urothelium. In this invention, stratified, differentiated mammalian urothelium is produced by passaging urothelial cells through a nutrient medium containing serum, and redispersed, before going on in a like medium to form said urothelium.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2003Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: The University of YorkInventors: William Richard Cross, Jennifer Southgate
