Patent number: 7956600Abstract: A probe with plural output channels for sensing the movement of a body of magnetic material. The probe includes a magnetically energizable pole piece and a plurality of electrically conductive circuits, coupled to the magnetic pole piece, such that a change in magnetic flux in the pole piece caused by movement of the body relative to the pole piece induces a voltage in each of the circuits. The electrically conductive circuits are wound around each other in a symmetrical fashion such that in the vicinity of the magnetic pole piece each circuit experiences substantially the same change in magnetic flux. A probe of this type provides a plurality of substantially identical output signals and is easy to manufacture and replicate.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2008Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Weston Aerospace LimitedInventors: Nigel Turner, David Yeomans, Chris D. Maunder, David J. Moon

Publication number: 20060211021Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for determining whether target, e.g., an endogenous or novel (non-endogenous), nucleic acid sequence of a neuronal cell is involved in sensory function. In practicing the subject methods, a neuronal cell selective vector including a modulating domain for a neuronal cell nucleic acid sequence, optionally having a domain encoding a directly detectable product, is administered to an animal. Sensory function in harvested neuronal cells is then evaluated to determine whether the target nucleic acid sequence is involved in sensory function. Also provided are compositions, kits, and systems for practicing the subject methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2006Publication date: September 21, 2006Inventors: David Yeomans, Michael Peters, William Gilly, Mary Peters

Publication number: 20060171890Abstract: Methods for evaluating the activity of candidate agents are provided. In practicing the subject methods, a candidate agent is administered to an injured tissue site of an animal and the activity of the candidate agent on the injured tissue site is evaluated. Also provided are kits and systems for use in practicing the subject methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2006Publication date: August 3, 2006Inventors: David Yeomans, Martin Angst, Michael Peters, Mary Peters

Publication number: 20050027336Abstract: A process and laser system for in vitro and in vivo pain research, pain clinical testing and pain management. In preferred embodiments of the present invention a diode laser operating at a 980 nm wavelength is used to produce warmth, tickling, itching, touch, burning, hot pain or pin-prick pain. The device and methods can be used for stimulation of a single nerve fiber, groups of nerve fibers, nerve fibers of single type only as well as more the one type of nerve fibers simultaneously. The present invention is especially useful for research of human/animal sensitivity, pain management, drug investigation and testing, and psychophysiology/electrophysiology studies. The device and methods permit non-contact, reproducible and controlled tests that avoid risk of skin damage. Applicant an his fellow workers have shown that tests with human subjects with the process and laser of the present invention correlate perfectly with laboratory tests with nerve fibers of rats.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2004Publication date: February 3, 2005Inventors: Mikhail Nemenov, David Yeomans

Publication number: 20030050984Abstract: A method of delivering email from a sender to a recipient, via a redirection service, including the step of the sender obtaining the recipient's telephone number. Thereafter, the sender forwards an email message to the email address: <telephone number>@<redirection service domain>. The redirection service receives the message and checks to see whether the recipient's telephone number is registered with the redirection service. If the recipient's telephone number is registered, the redirection service forwards the email message to an address which has previously been specified by the recipient. A similar method applies for directing a computer user to an Internet site associated with a person or business, via a redirection service.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2002Publication date: March 13, 2003Applicant: AUTOMATIC PTY LTDInventors: Robert Barkley Pickup, Mark David Yeoman

Patent number: 4394685Abstract: An electronic interface for operating a dot matrix printer to print a pattern appearing on a television screen employs video-type signals incorporating field and line sync signals, digitized image signals representative of dots of information along each raster line and dot pulses for synchronizing the digitized image signals. Upon receipt of a print request, a line address counter is incremented by each line sync pulse. A second counter, which is incremented each time the line address counter reaches a maximum count, has its count set into a horizontal position counter at the beginning of each line scan and is decremented synchronously with the dot pulses. The sequentially received dot information is loaded serially into a shift register and is transferred byte-wise in parallel into a location in a random access memory identified by the count in the line address counter when the horizontal position counter reaches a zero count.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 1980Date of Patent: July 19, 1983Assignee: Centronics Data Computer CorporationInventors: David Yeomans, Christopher J. Wilkinson, Damien McCartney, Micheal O'Dwyer
