Abstract: Use of stimuli in order to provide association with a training regime or other behavior modification technique is known. With regard to olfactory stimulation it will be appreciated that it is necessary that the olfactory is actively provided in the sense the it is not a continuous stimulation but provided in pulses for regular association. Without such distinct presentation of the olfactory stimulus a user may become desensitized. In order to achieve this the present olfactory stimulator comprises a regulator and specific delivery techniques such as the use of a fan or piston to direct the olfactory towards the user's nose.

Abstract: The use of stimuli in order to create association between training regimes subconsciously is known. Unfortunately, in highly noisy and other polluted environments it is difficult to provide ongoing reinforcement of previous behavior modification and training. By providing a stimulus phrase which comprises two or more stimuli in known combinations it is possible to provide keyed association with previous training regimes.

Abstract: A strip array antenna including a number of conductors (14) that are connected to ground or virtual ground though at least one reactive component (150). The apparent electrical length of conductors (140) is tuned so that it equals an integer multiple of a quarter wavelength at the operating frequency.

Abstract: A food preparation device comprising: a first water chamber for holding a volume of water to be boiled thereby to produce boiled water; and a second water chamber arranged to receive said boiled water and to hold said boiled water prior to: (a) the reheating of said boiled water, thereby to produce reheated water; and (b) the dispensation of said reheated water to a mixing location at which it can mix with concentrated food preparation formulation.

Abstract: An RF coil assembly for use in a multiple receive-channel MRI system is provided. The RF coil assembly is configured as a multi-turn-element RF coil assembly 200 to operate as a surface-coil array in cooperation with the MRI system 100 which is configured to operate in a multiple-channel receive mode.
