Knowledge management has become increasingly important for many organisations. However, the ability to rapidly extract, analyse and exploit large volumes of information from diverse sources is particularly challenging when documents are unstructured. Cognito automatically extracts information from unstructured and semi-structured texts to give insights and value from data.

Collimators are a key component in high energy radiation (e.g. x-ray, particle beam) equipment however current designs for scanning (pencil) beams are subject to both performance and physical limitations. A new lightweight design overcomes these issues and produces higher resolution images while reducing mechanical complexity.

Electronic Warfare (EW) equipment has traditionally employed large vertical omnidirectional antennas. However, they present operational challenges for their users as they are low gain, highly visible, and can limit manoeuvrability in operational environments. This new body worn antenna system overcomes these limitations, increases performance and reduces cost.

The rapid growth in the demand for geospatial image analysis has resulted in the need for more capable Geographic Information System (GIS) software. Existing GIS software can be limited when there is a requirement to rapidly process large numbers of images of varying quality, weather conditions, and timestamps. MATISSE overcomes these limitations and also delivers huge improvements in the accuracy and speed of processing to enhance the capabilities of your geospatial image analysis.

The analysis of complex DNA mixtures containing three or more DNA profiles is a challenge in forensic DNA analysis. Asunder is a proprietary method for interrogating mixtures of nucleic acids, it can identify the number of contributors in a mixture and their DNA profile, without any knowledge of the contributors or the contributors’ genotypes. Results have shown significant gains over existing methods of analysis.

A new concept for bi-static synthetic aperture radar (SAR), with a transmit-only satellite component, an airborne rebroadcasting and a ground based image processing component.
This allows for a major increase in the performance of the satellite component, and significantly reduced cost of the processing component through the avoidance of space qualification of the computing power required to decode the SAR image.

A means to reduce the adverse effects of bright light sources on image intensification devices as used in night vision sensors. Dstl have developed an electro-optic protection measure (EOPM) that can be applied to an image intensification tube that employs simple material layers and control electronics that can spatially limit the photo-cathode response for bright areas in an imaged scene.

Saturation and blooming effects caused by high intensity light sources such as sunlight, welding arc, car head lamps or lasers if directed at an optical system or device, are a common problem. They can cause degradation of image quality, loss of situational awareness for the user and often damage to the sensor pixel array. This invention relates to a charge transfer type imaging sensor that limits the transmission of radiation from high intensity light sources.

Lasers are a growing threat to the safety of commercial aviation, with over 3000 laser incidents being reported in the U.S. during 2012. However, Laser Event Recorders (LERs) can capture evidence of laser incidents and a new application, LERapp, has been developed as a low cost and rapidly deployable means of detecting and characterising such incidents. Its use as an intelligence gathering tool has the potential to enhance aviation safety.

Appliqué armour for fighting vehicles is both expensive and adds weight to the platform. Super Bainite Steel is a low cost ultra-high hardness steel that provides an alternative to current protective armour plate. During live fire trials it has demonstrated performance matching that of current high hardness armour steels and some ceramic armours.

An optically addressed light valve suitable for selectively limiting the transmission of radiation from high intensity light sources independent of wavelength using a liquid crystal cell and a photoconductive material (vanadium doped silicone carbide). Originally designed to prevent ‘dazzle’ of light sensors its applications now include protection from sources such as sunlight, arc welding, head lights; or lasers.

A robust and easy to use device has been developed for swabbing surfaces and the sample run on several different lateral flow test strips. A range of materials from explosives to bacterial contamination can be tested for. The sample is retained in the device for subsequent analysis, or as forensic evidence.

Diagnosed cases of sepsis exceed 18 million a year with 1,400 patients dying daily in the developed world. Rapid treatment is critical to a patient’s recovery and therefore the time taken to diagnose sepsis is key. This technology can diagnose sepsis in the patient before symptoms appear which has the potential to save many lives and reduce economic costs.
