Abstract: This specification discloses novel phosphate compounds of formula (I) useful for labelling RNA in-cellulo. The phosphates are spontaneously taken up by cells and may be used as substrates for RNA synthesis once across the cell membrane. This technology therefore offers a general route to understanding the biological behaviour of RNA of interest, including RNA based drugs.

Abstract: A system for collecting earpiece data from a mobile terminal comprising an earpiece includes an earpiece data module in the mobile terminal configured to obtain earpiece data based on usage of the earpiece. A mobile terminal memory is in the mobile terminal and is configured to store the earpiece data. A communications module is in the mobile terminal and is configured to connect the mobile terminal to a remote earpiece data collection module that is remote to the mobile terminal. The earpiece data module is further configured to determine if the earpiece data in the mobile terminal memory satisfies a threshold and to transmit the earpiece data to the remote earpiece data collection module by the communications module if the earpiece data satisfies the threshold.

Abstract: A microphone array includes a left microphone, a right microphone and a processor to receive a right microphone signal from the right microphone and a left microphone signal from the left microphone. The processor determines a timing difference between the left microphone signal and the right microphone signal. The processor determines whether the timing difference is within a time threshold. The processor time shifts one of the left microphone signal and the right microphone signal based on the timing difference. The processor also sums the shifted microphone signal and the other microphone signal to form an output signal.

Abstract: Excavator that comprises a drive unit, an excavator tool and a mounting device for the excavator tool and wherein the mounting device comprises at least two arms that are arranged to be connected to the excavator tool. The excavator comprises resilient portions located in at least two different locations in which the resilient portions are arranged to allow the excavator tool to move in at least one plane relative to the drive unit when the excavator tool is mounted on the mounting device and thereby allow the excavator tool to oscillate in the at least one plane.

Abstract: Excavator (10) that comprises a drive unit (11), an excavator tool (12) and a mounting device (14) for the excavator tool (12), which mounting device (14) comprises at least two arms (30) that are arranged to be connected to the excavator tool (12). The excavator (10) comprises resilient means (38) that are located in at least two different locations (A, B), which resilient means (38) are arranged to allow the excavator tool (12) to move in at least one plane (20) relative to the drive unit (11) when said excavator tool (12) is mounted on the mounting device (14) and thereby allow the excavator tool (12) to oscillate in said at least one plane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for automatic tracking of a body comprising the steps of defining (step 11) several sets of templates, each set comprising a plurality of templates consisting of areas selected from a 2D image of the body, relating (step 12) each template set to a body coordinate system (26), acquiring (step 14) at least two images (21-25) representing different views of the body at one given moment in time, and for each image associating (step 15) the image with at least one of said template sets, locating (step 16) each template in this template set in the image, and calculating a preliminary position of said body coordinate system (26) in space, and using a geometrical relationship between said views to combine said preliminary positions, thereby reducing uncertainties in the position of the body coordinate system in space. Thus, several “preliminary” BCS orientations are combined to generate a final BCS orientation.
