Abstract: A method of characterising relative proportions of magnetic resonance (MR) chemical species where one or more of the chemical species has a multi-peak MR spectra includes defining an in-phase measurement time window and an out-phase measurement time window relative to a frequency difference between the two dominant spectral peaks of at least one said multi-peak chemical species. The in-phase window captures the signal that is progressing to being maximally in-phase for the two dominant peaks, and the out-phase window captures the signal that is progressing to being maximally out of phase for the two dominant peaks. The method includes identifying an increased upward deviation in the signal over the in-phase window relative to a reference signal decay over the out-phase window, where such upward deviation in the signal over the in-phase window provides an indicator of the increased presence of the one or more multi peak spectral species over the other species.

Abstract: A storage system is described where goods are stored in containers and the containers are stored in stacks. Above the stacks runs a grid network of tracks on which load handling devices run. The load handling devices take containers from the stacks and deposit then at alternative locations in the stacks or deposit then at stations where goods may be picked out. The containers may be provided with one or more of the following services: power, power control, heating, lighting, cooling, sensing, and data logging. The provision of these services within individual containers rather than across the system as a whole, allows for flexibility in storage whilst reducing cost and inefficiency.
