Patent number: 10139458Abstract: Disclosed is a magnetic sensor for measuring flux density. The sensor comprises at least one tunnelling magnetoresistor, supporting circuitry and an output for outputting a signal from the tunnelling magnetoresistor. In another aspect, there is also provided a sensor probe comprising at least one magnetic sensor. A magnetic probe system is also described, comprising the probe sensor and processing circuitry. Methods of processing the output signal from the magnetic sensor are also described. In one application, the system and method allow for detection of tissue such as lymph nodes that have taken up small quantities of magnetic particles upon injection of a magnetic tracer containing the magnetic particles into a patient, and can be used to identify such tissue that could be affected by certain forms of cancer.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2015Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIAInventors: Aidan Mark Francis Cousins, Benjamin Thierry, A.

Publication number: 20070247862Abstract: A lighting or signalling device in which a particular output unit of the device in question is formed, the output unit consisting of a stack of screens, independent of one another; each screen comprises a plurality of optical patterns produced in its thickness, able to divert light signals emitted by a light source; the spread of the light beam emerging from the device in question is thus adjustable in a first diffusion direction (OX), corresponding, for each screen in question, to a direction parallel to a plane defined by the screen and containing the optical patterns, and in a second diffusion direction (OZ), corresponding to a direction parallel to a plane roughly perpendicular to the planes defined by the screens, the spread on the second diffusion plane depending on the relative positions of the various screens. In this way in particular a “block of illuminated material” effect is obtained.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2007Publication date: October 25, 2007Applicant: VALEO VISIONInventors: Alcina TANGHE, Jean-Claude GASQUET, Benjamin THIERRY
