Patent number: 11559634Abstract: A system determines the location of a tip of a hypodermic needle by moving a needle along a path, shining light from two sources onto respective portions of the path, and analysing signals received from the respective light sources that have been reflected by the needle.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2018Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: ARES TRADING S.A.Inventors: Alim Thawer, Matthew J. Hayes, Quentin Le Masne, Fabien Jeannerot

Patent number: 11538234Abstract: Information about a drug-containing vessel is determined by capturing image data of the curved surface of a cylindrical portion of a drug-containing vessel. The image data is unfurled from around the curved surface, binarised, and a template matching algorithm employed to determine that the label information comprises candidate information about the vessel and/or the drug.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2018Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Ares Trading S.A.Inventors: Robert Jones, Robert F. Marchington, David Rimmer, Bogdan-Alexandru Cociu, William D. Addison, Matthew J. Hayes, Ruairi Duffy, Quentin Le Masne

Patent number: 9726607Abstract: To minimize cross talk in systems and methods for detecting two or more different optical signals emitted from each of a plurality of reaction receptacles, an excitation signal associated with each of the optical signals has a known excitation frequency, and any detected signal having a frequency that is inconsistent with the excitation frequency is discarded. The receptacles are moved relative to optical sensors configured to detect each unique optical signal from an associated receptacle, and to further minimize cross talk, the optical sensors are arranged so that only one reaction receptacle at a time is in a signal detecting position with respect to one of its associated optical sensors, and the optical sensors are grouped by the optical signal they are configured to detect so that a first optical signal is detected from each of the reaction receptacles before a second optical signal is detected from the reaction receptacles.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2014Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: GEN-PROBE INCORPORATEDInventors: Matthew J. Hayes, Byron J. Knight, Haitao Li, Robert F. Scalese

Patent number: 8742368Abstract: A photometric device for investigating a sample, comprises an array of radiation sources that are spaced apart from one another, and which are operable to generate radiation that differs from that generated by the other radiation sources in the array. The device includes a lens arrangement for focusing the radiation at a region of space where a sample may be located for example by means of a sample holder, and at least one detector for receiving radiation from the region of space. Preferably, a number of detectors are employed that are spaced apart from one another, and especially about an axis of the device, so that one radiation detector can detect radiation transmitted by the sample and the other detectors can detect radiation scattered by it. The radiation sources may be time division multiplexed so that in each time slot the detectors receive radiation originating from each radiation source.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2009Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Cambridge Consultants LimitedInventors: Robert Jones, Roger Fane Sewell, Paul D. Ryder, Matthew J. Hayes, Edwin C. Carter
