Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for automation of the creation of a software application as a combination of microservices by extraction of discrete elements of software functionality from a monolithic architectures using dynamic and static analysis of code and non-code-related artefacts; forming them into microservices such that the software application is recreated as serverless hardware infrastructure while also validating the transformed code. In many cases, serverless microservices will significantly reduce the hardware requirement for software systems.

Abstract: The invention provides an optical generator and method comprising an Optical Frequency Comb configured to generate a plurality of frequency tones and fed to a first demultiplexer, wherein the first demultiplexer is configured to injection lock at least one desired frequency tone; and a second demultiplexer connected to the first demultiplexer and configured to injection lock a second frequency tone from said plurality of frequency tones wherein the output of the second demultiplexer comprise two injection locked frequency tones separated by a desired frequency. The invention enables the generation of high frequency signals (>30 GHz) that exhibit high levels of purity (required for many applications). Moreover, the invention simplifies the architecture, by reducing the real estate occupied by the components. This is most important when all the devices involved are integrated onto a single chip.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system to remotely monitor a plasma (3) comprising a magnetic field antenna (2) positioned in the near electromagnetic field of a coupled plasma source wherein the magnetic field antenna is a magnetic loop antenna placed in the near electromagnetic field and measure near field signals emitted from the plasma source. A radio system (1) is utilised to analyse the low power signal levels across a wide frequency band. Plasma paramaters such as series, or geometric, resonance plasma and electron-neutral collision frequencies are evaluated via a fitting of resonant features present on higher harmonics of the driving frequency to identify arcing, pump or matching failure events, common in fabrication plasma systems.

Abstract: A microfluidic device for detection of an analyte in a fluid is described. The microfluidic device comprises a substrate having a first surface defining entrances to one or more chambers defined in the substrate, surfaces of the chambers defining a second surface of the substrate, the first surface being modified for selective targeting and capture of at least one analyte to operably effect a blocking of the entrance to at least one of the chambers, and wherein a response characteristic of the microfluidic device is operably varied by the blocking of the entrance to the at least one of the chambers, thereby providing an indication of the presence of the analyte within the fluid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to fluidic devices, especially microfluidic devices, for aliquoting and pairwise combinatorial mixing of a first set of liquids with a second set of liquids. The device architecture is designed to move liquids in two separate phases, a first phase where the liquids are exposed to a first directional force field to move the liquids in a first direction, from a reservoir to aliquot chambers, and a second phase where the liquids are exposed to a second directional force field to move the liquids in a second direction, from the aliquot chambers to the mixing chambers. The first and second directional force fields that the device is exposed to may be achieved using a single directional force field (i.e. a rotor driven centrifugal force field) and by re-orienting the position of the device with respect to the centrifugal forces between the first and second phases of operation. The device architecture comprises reservoirs for each of the first fluids and reservoirs for each of the second fluids. Each reservoir is fluidically connected to aliquoting chambers, either arranged in parallel or in series, for providing aliquots of the fluid which may be metered. The conduits providing fluid communication between the reservoirs and aliquoting chambers are arranged in a first direction. A series of mixing chambers is also provided, and each mixing chamber is fluidically connected to one aliquot chamber for a first liquid and one aliquoting chamber for a second liquid. The conduits providing fluid communication between the aliquoting chambers and mixing chambers are arranged in a second direction.

Abstract: The method and system of the present invention provides Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH)-based Adaptive Rich Media Delivery Solution (DASH-ARM) which performs adaptive delivery of mulsemedia content by improving the perceived QoE levels which improves user's sense of reality. In its dynamic adjustment of multiple sensorial content characteristics, DASH-ARM performs a trade-off between video quality and presence of diverse other sensorial components which include components such as haptic, olfaction and wind. This trade-off relies on the fact that the presence of other sensorial components has a masking effect on potential audio/video quality variations. DASH-ARM is complemented by an adaptive multi-sensory media stream (mulsemedia) which synchronizes at the user device, where the multimedia content and mulsemedia comprises diverse sensorial stimuli.

Abstract: A cis-platinum(II)-oligomer hybrid capable of targeting purine-rich targets in genomic DNA, and crosslinking the DNA, is described. The hybrids are generated by conjugating an azide-modified cis-platinum(II) complex with an alkyne-modified monomer of an oligomer by azide-alkyne cycloaddition, in which the oligomer comprises at least 10 contiguous nucleobase-bearing monomers. The oligomer may be a triplex-forming oligonucleotide. Methods of treating proliferative disorder such as cancer are also described.
