Patent number: 11927553Abstract: An apparatus for bulk ore sorting using gamma activation analysis is disclosed. The apparatus includes a conveyor system that includes one or more conveyor belts, surrounded by one or more radiation shields, to transport ore material along a transport path. A pulsed X-ray radiation source is configured to irradiate ore material at an irradiation region and one or more detectors are configured to detect a gamma radiation output from irradiated ore material at a detection region. The transport path has a bend, located between the irradiation region and the detection region, and about a vertical axis, of at least 45 degrees. The one or more detectors are configured to detect a radiation output from the irradiated ore material at times between X-ray pulses of the pulsed X-ray radiation source irradiating the ore material.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH ORGANISATIONInventors: Peter Coghill, James Tickner, Chanel Tissot, Ian Carter, Nicholas Cutmore

Patent number: 11670202Abstract: A system for monitoring displayed content, such as advertisements, has at least one sensor that is used to monitor an electronic display and provide information about the operation of the display, such as the content being displayed or whether one or more components of the display are operating correctly. The sensor is selected, positioned, and/or otherwise configured to limit the its ability to collect information in the environment surrounding the display so as to reduce concerns about the use of the sensor in a private or secure environment. The system may be used to confirm that the hardware of the display system is operating correctly and displaying the proper content at the proper times.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: OUTDOORLINK, INC.Inventors: Richard Holloway, Peter Carter Weiland

Patent number: 11547632Abstract: Embodiments of a medical vial holder apparatus and system are disclosed. A main body has a mount engagement portion and a vial engagement portion. A facing wall is attached to the vial engagement portion thereby defining a vial retention cavity therebetween. A lever element is mounted to the main body for pivotal movement between a grip position and a release position. The lever element has a grip portion with a vial engagement face. A grip distance is defined between the vial engagement face and the facing wall. Movement of the lever element from the release position toward the grip position reduces the grip distance. Movement of the lever element from the grip position toward the release position increases the grip distance. The lever element is biased toward the grip position. A plurality of the apparatuses are adjustably mountable in line with one another by way of their mount engagement portions.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2020Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: TBM Medical Solutions, Inc.Inventors: David Peter Carter, Simon Edward Morse

Patent number: 7153488Abstract: The present invention is directed to the suppression of the formation noxious compounds such as furans. According to the present invention, a venturi device is used to rapidly quench a chlorinator reaction gas. The rapid quench minimizes the resonance time that furan precursors are at conditions conducive to furan formation.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2004Date of Patent: December 26, 2006Assignee: Millennium Inorganic Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Messer, Peter Carter

Publication number: 20060241874Abstract: A monitoring system for monitoring fluid used in an environment such as a trade/industrial waste plant or air conditioning cooling tower installation is disclosed. The system includes sensors (26 to 34, 53 to 55) for sensing parameters of the fluid, a remote monitoring system (40) for receiving signals indicative of the measured parameters from the sensors and for applying rules to the signals to determine whether the signals meet predetermined criteria so that an event indication can be generated if the predetermined criteria are not met. The system (40) includes a processor (41) and a memory (42). The system (40) is connected to a central station (72) by a communication link (74). The central station (72) includes a server (80) and data store (82) which are connected to the Internet so the data can be interrogated by a user via a PC (86).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2003Publication date: October 26, 2006Inventor: Peter Carter
