Abstract: Systems, device and techniques are disclosed for dynamically retrieving and monitoring geo-fence activity. A meta geo-fence may be identified based on a user device geolocation. The meta geo-fence having a radius that is dynamically generated to include previously defined geo-fences within or touching the meta geo-fence. User device geolocation may be monitored in relation to the defined geo-fences included in the radius of the meta geo-fence. A communication may be sent to the user device when the user device reports that the user device has entered or exited one of the previously defined geo-fences within or touching the radius of the meta geo-fence.

Abstract: A node (50) for a communications system comprising a network of a plurality of nodes is described. The node (50) communicates with other nodes (50) in the network using information formatted into superframes comprising a plurality of symbols in which part of the superframes are for payload data and part of the superframes are for synchronisation data and such that there is agreement amongst at least some nodes of the network of when a superframe starts and the duration of the symbols of the superframe. The node (50) synchronises its reference source (60,61) to a selected synchronisation source selected from external synchronisation sources and changes the selection of external synchronisation source from time to time such that the selected synchronisation source availability and reliability is above a predetermined level and communications data of a superframe is interpretable while the node (50) communicates with at least some of the other nodes (50) in the network.

Abstract: A node 100 for a communications system comprising a plurality of nodes is disclosed. The node 100 comprises a plurality of antennas each configured to transmit and/or receive a beam for communications with other nodes of a communications system. The at least one beam deflector is located in a housing 104,106 detachably attached to an external portion of the node 100. The or each beam deflector is located and arranged to deflect a beam transmitted and/or received at one of the plurality of antennas.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for performing echo-planar spectroscopic imaging. The system comprises an acquisition unit for acquiring magnetic resonance data, wherein the acquisition unit is adapted to use a first encoding gradient in a readout direction and a second encoding gradient in a phase-encoding direction, wherein the first encoding gradient and the second encoding gradient are stepped. The system further comprises a reconstruction unit for reconstructing a magnetic resonance image based on the acquired magnetic resonance data.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for providing at least part of a pulse sequence for acquiring imaging information using a magnetic resonance scanner, a corresponding method and a corresponding computer program. The system comprises a sequence module providing unit, wherein one or more sequence modules comprise a hierarchy description and a parameter description, a sequence hierarchy generating unit for generating a sequence hierarchy based on the sequence modules and the hierarchy description, a parameter dependency graph generating unit for generating a parameter dependency graph based on the parameter dependencies comprised in the parameter description of the sequence modules. The parameter dependencies are decoupled from the sequence hierarchy. The system, method and computer program of the invention allow for an improved determination of at least part of a pulse sequence.

Abstract: A leash capable of being stored on an animal and capable of applying a variable amount of pressure on an animal. The leash is capable of storage around the neck or body of an animal, such as a dog. Then, when use of the leash is desired, the collar or harness is transformed into a leash that places varying pressure on the animal's neck or body so optimal restraint is achieved. The leash can be configured to serve as a collar or harness encompassing either the body of the animal or the animal's neck. The leash is adjustable such that only the appropriate amount of pressure is applied to guide the dog or animal.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of cleaning a lipseal and/or cup bottom of an electroplating device by removing metal deposits accumulated in prior electroplating operations. The methods may include orienting a nozzle such that it is pointed substantially at the inner circular edge of the lipseal and/or cup bottom, and dispensing a stream of cleaning solution from the nozzle such that the stream contacts the inner circular edge of the lipseal and/or cup bottom while they are being rotated, removing metal deposits. In some embodiments, the stream has a velocity component against the rotational direction of the lipseal and/or cup bottom. In some embodiments, the deposits may include a tin/silver alloy. Also disclosed herein are cleaning apparatuses for mounting in electroplating devices and for removing electroplated metal deposits from their lipseals and/or cup bottoms. In some embodiments, the cleaning apparatuses may include a jet nozzle.
