Patent number: 10180397Abstract: A THz quantum cascade laser is used to investigate a target by directing a first beam of laser radiation from the laser at the target to thereby produce a second beam of laser radiation by interaction of the first beam with the target. Self-mixing of the first and second beams occurs within the laser and causes variations in a signal such as the operating voltage of the laser. An operating parameter of the laser that affects the interaction of the first beam with, the target is varied. The operating voltage is monitored and processed to determine phase and amplitude changes associated with material properties of the target. Consequently in one embodiment the invention provides for processing the variations in the signal to produce various images of the target.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2014Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignees: The University of Queensland, University of LeedsInventors: Aleksandar D. Rakic, Paul Dean, Alexander Giles Davies, Dragan Indjin, Edmund Harold Linfield, Stephen James Wilson, Thomas Taimre, Karl Bertling, Yah Leng Lim

Patent number: 7936168Abstract: A portable device is used to measure exposure to magnetic fields and/or exposure to changes of magnetic field. The device (10) includes a first sensor (14) for measuring instantaneous magnetic field strength, and a second sensor (15) which is located adjacent to, and orientated in the same direction as, the first sensor for providing an output indicative of the time rate of change of the magnetic field. An integrator (22) integrates the rate of change output from the second sensor (15) over time to derive relative changes in the magnetic field. A processor (20) is connected to the outputs of at least the first sensor and the integrator. The processor selectively provides an indication of field strength from the output of the first sensor if the output is within the normal operating range of the first sensor, or otherwise from the integrator. A memory (24) is connected to the output of the second sensor (15) to store cumulative exposure to changes in the magnetic field.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2005Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: The University of QueenslandInventors: Stuart Crozier, Stephen James Wilson, Ian Gregg

Patent number: 6475157Abstract: Disclosed is a neck seal for use in a volume displacement plethysmograph for investigating pulmonary function of infants. The neck seal includes particulate material entrapped in a space between two layers of flexible sheets. The two flexible sheets have aligned openings to allow an infant's neck to be located therein. The sheets are sealed together around the openings and along a closed figure extending around the openings, thereby forcing the space closed. The seal becomes rigid when a vacuum is applied to the space.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2001Date of Patent: November 5, 2002Assignee: The University of QueenslandInventor: Stephen James Wilson
