CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS The present application is a U.S. National Stage of International Patent Application No. PCT/EP2007/009000 filed Oct. 17, 2007 and claims priority under 35 U.S.C. �119 of German Patent Application No. 10 2006 049 152.1 filed Oct. 18, 2006. Moreover, the disclosure of International Patent Application No. PCT/EP2007/009000 is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
The invention relates to an arrangement and a method for detecting an object arranged on a body, but possibly concealed by at least one covering material.
Arrangements of this type are generally known. For example, at airports or at large events metal detectors are used for security control, with the aid of which metal weapons can be detected. However, this method fails, for example, with ceramic knives. Furthermore, it is known that with the aid of mass spectrometers the smallest contaminations of explosives can be detected. Finally, it is also known to use specially trained dogs for detecting illegal drugs. All of these methods have the disadvantage in common that they relate only to specific classes of substances. A number of detectors would therefore be necessary to safeguard against all possible dangerous or objectionable objects or materials. In particular for reasons of time, however, the successive use of several technologies of this type in security checks is not practicable. Finally, it is also known to detect concealed objects with the aid of x-rays. However, this method cannot be applied to the human body or only to a very limited extent.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention discloses an arrangement and a method of the type mentioned at the outset, which is able irrespective of specific classes of materials, to detect in a contactless manner whether an object is arranged on a body, and which is also suitable for use on the human body.
According to a first aspect of the invention through an arrangement for detecting an object arranged on a body, the arrangement comprises a vibration device, which sets the body in a mechanical vibration of predetermined vibration frequency and predetermined vibration phase, an emission device, which emits a coherent electromagnetic detection radiation in the direction of the body, the radiation frequency of which is selected such that it is reflected at least in part by the body and the object to be detected, a receiver device, which receives the radiation reflected by the body and the object, and an evaluation device, which filters out of the radiation received the portions having the predetermined vibration frequency and evaluates them with respect to their vibration phase difference from the predetermined vibration phase.
Although the invention is discussed and explained below mainly on the basis of the example of the security check of people, i.e., thus in its application for a human body, it should be noted at this point that the invention is not limited thereto, and can be used just as well for animal bodies and/or inanimate bodies and/or objects.
The invention is based on the realization that with forced vibrations the phase difference between the motion of the object set in forced vibration relative to the exciter vibration, in addition to the mass of the object and its attenuation, among other things also depends on the strength of its coupling to the exciter vibration.
If a person is now set in forced vibration, for example, if he is placed on a vibration plate, the body of the person, in the case in the example starting from the feet, starts to vibrate. Whether this forced vibration of the body thereby means that the entire body vibrates relative to the predetermined vibration phase of the exciter vibration with essentially one and the same phase difference or the different parts of the body vibrate with different phase difference also depends, in addition to the respectively selected type of excitation, on its predetermined vibration frequency. However, in any case the mechanical vibration of a body part on which the object to be detected is arranged, for its part again represents an exciter vibration, which sets the object in a forced mechanical vibration. It is to the credit of the inventor to have recognized that objects carried on the body can be detected due to the phase difference of their forced vibration relative to the phase of the vibration of the body parts on which they are arranged. The invention utilizes this effect:
If the type of the device exciting the body to vibration and the vibration frequency thereof are selected such that the entire body oscillates relative to the predetermined vibration phase of the exciter vibration with essentially one and the same phase difference, it can always be indicated to the staff carrying out the security check when subsections are present in the radiation sections filtered out by the evaluation device and having the predetermined vibration frequency, the phase difference of which subsections from the predetermined vibration phase of the mechanical vibration lies in a predetermined value range, via a visual, acoustic or any type of signal that the person just checked is carrying objects on his body. Based on this display the person checked can then be subjected, for example, to a body search.
It should be emphasized in this connection that the arrangement according to the invention is even able to detect the object if it is covered by at least one covering material, as long as the radiation frequency of the detection radiation is selected such that it is transmitted at least in part by the at least one covering material.
It should be noted that the arrangement according to the invention evaluates portions of the reflected radiation having the predetermined vibration frequency only with respect to their phase position, but not with respect to their amplitude. The percentage of the detection radiation emitted in the direction of the body that is optionally absorbed by the at least one covering material is therefore irrelevant, as long as only the signal-to-noise ratio of the radiation reflected by the objects to be detected permits a detection of this radiation.
And this applies regardless of what type of covering material it is. In the case of security checks of people, at least one covering material can be a typical clothing material, that is a textile material, for example, a natural textile material, such as wool, cotton, linen and the like, or a synthetic textile material, such as polyester, polyamide, nylon and the like, a natural material, such as leather and the like, or a mixture of two or more of the above-referenced materials.
It should be noted that no knowledge of the concealed objects or of their properties, for example, their mechanical properties, is necessary, which means that prior calibration measurements of objects potentially to be detected are unnecessary.
In contrast to radar methods, the transit time of an electromagnetic signal, in the present case of the detection radiation, from the emission device via the object or the body to the receiver device is not measured. Because on the one hand, information provided by transit time measurements of this type, namely the distance of the object from the detection arrangement, is not required, since it is a matter only of detecting the presence of the object to be detected. And on the other hand, the volume of data associated with this information would considerably increase the expenditure in terms of equipment. It should further be taken into consideration that a travel distance difference of 1 mm requires a resolution per time unit of the transit time signal of approx. 3 ps, which would require a correspondingly fast and thus cost-intensive electronic system. In comparison thereto the evaluation of vibration phase differences is considerably more cost-effective.
The terahertz radiation is particularly suitable as detection radiation. This radiation, on the one hand does not have any effects on the human body that are harmful to health, since terahertz photons have an extremely low energy and therefore cannot ionize biological tissue, although terahertz radiation is very strongly absorbed by water. On the other hand, terahertz radiation has the desired reflection or transmission properties. The transmission coefficient of a terahertz radiation of between 0.1 THz and 0.5 THz thus lies in the order of magnitude of 90% for textile materials, such as jeans, cotton socks and linen shirts, and for 0.5 THz in the order of magnitude of 30% for 2 mm thick leather, while for 0.1 THz it is again approx. 90%. Furthermore, the reflection coefficient of skin in the frequency range in question is more than 10%. Moreover, most textiles are characterized in the Thz range by a negligible reflection, whereby they contribute only insignificantly to the determination of the phase position of the reflected radiation, since this originates essentially in the body or the object. Moreover, terahertz radiation of these frequencies has a wavelength that is greater than typical texture sizes of textile materials. Hardly any Mie scattering therefore takes place on the surface of garments.
In this context it should be noted that the above-mentioned frequencies could likewise be referred to as 200 GHz or 500 GHz. However, they are usually still attributed to �terahertz radiation,� since they have the same transmission, reflection and absorption properties as this.
Typical Gunn oscillators used to generate terahertz radiation provide an output power of approx. 30 mW. Furthermore, the reflected terahertz radiation can be resolved down to powers of approx. 30 pW. To irradiate the body a power can therefore already be sufficient that lies far below the maximum radiation power permissible for mobile phones of approx. 1 W. This underlines the harmless nature of the application of the arrangement according to the invention within the scope of a security check of people.
It should be mentioned in this context that there are also regulations for mechanical vibrations, which must be observed to avoid harm to the health of people tested. These are set forth, for example, in ISO 2631-1. Thus with a vibration frequency of 100 Hz and a vibration amplitude of 0.1 mm, the maximum permissible vibration duration is 10 minutes. Naturally, this value lies far above the duration tolerable for a security check. It was shown that by means of terahertz technologies vibration amplitudes down to 200 nm can be detected, which lies approximately three orders of magnitude below the vibration amplitude of 0.1 mm. It is further interesting that an amplitude of approx. 1 μm is usually given as a perception threshold and an amplitude of approx. 1 mm is usually given as a pain threshold.
Within the scope of the present invention, for example, mechanical vibrations with a vibration frequency in the range of between approx. 1 Hz and approx. 20,000 Hz, preferably between approx. 50 Hz and approx. 200 Hz, even more preferably approx. 100 Hz, can be used. Even at these frequencies the respectively maximum tolerable duration for the action of mechanical vibration can be substantially undercut, since vibration amplitudes down to 500 nm can be resolved with the arrangement according to the invention.
Although the use of a vibration plate for introducing the mechanical vibrations into the body is preferred, a coupling via loudspeakers or the like can fundamentally also be considered. The coupling of vibrations into the body can also be carried out via a seat or quite generally via other parts of the body.
In order to be able to facilitate the evaluation of the reflected radiation, the evaluation device can comprise a superimposition device, which superimposes a reference radiation on the received reflected radiation, which reference radiation is in a fixed radiation phase relationship to the detection radiation. This reference radiation can be, for example, a portion of the generated detection radiation directly fed by the emission device of the superimposition device. The superimposition of the reference radiation on the reflected radiation can be described as an interference that depends on the difference between the track of the reference radiation on the one hand and the sum of the tracks of the radiation emitted towards the body and reflected thereby on the other hand. To this end, it is necessary only that the coherence length of the detection radiation generated by the emission device is greater than the sum of the tracks of the radiation emitted towards the body and reflected therefrom.
The reference radiation with its predetermined radiation frequency and its predetermined radiation phase position is accordingly used as a tool for scanning the reflected radiation. Of course, however, other methods could also be used for scanning the reflected radiation, similar to those such as are known, for example, from radio frequency technology for scanning radio waves. Time-resolved methods are also possible, in which the vibration of the electromagnetic field is directly detected. Even though these methods have hitherto been available for only a part of the terahertz spectrum, it cannot be ruled out that similar methods will also be developed over the next few years for higher terahertz frequencies.
The actual evaluation or analysis of the reflected or superimposed radiation with respect to its vibration phase difference from the predetermined vibration phase can be carried out with the aid of known techniques. Since the objects to be detected are modulated in their spatial position, in particular modulation techniques can be used to this end, which are characterized by high contrast and low noise, for example the lock-in technique or digital data processing.
In particular for the field of security checks of people, it is desirable to facilitate the evaluation of the result of the examination for the security staff with the aid of an imaging technology. This can also be realized with the aid of terahertz radiation, since its wavelength is smaller than the typical size of the objects to be imaged. An imaging can be provided in a simple manner in that an imaging optical system with spatial resolution is arranged upstream of the receiver device. The term �optical system� in the present case naturally does not relate to visible electromagnetic radiation, but to the terahertz radiation used. The imaging optical system with spatial resolution can be realized, for example, by sequential scanning in two directions, for example, the vertical and a horizontal direction, or through parallel detection methods, in which entire image lines, entire image columns or the entire image are processed in a parallel manner. Methods are also possible which have become known under the catchword �synthetic aperture.�
The display of the result of the check can be carried out on an imaging device, for example, a screen. To this end different values can be assigned to different vibration phase differences by means of evaluation algorithms, and these values can be displayed, for example, by a different color. Further measurement data can also be taken into account in the formation of the values. If the exciter vibration is selected such that essentially the entire body oscillates relative to the predetermined vibration phase of the exciter vibration with one and the same phase difference, the predetermined vibration phase can be used as a reference phase in the formation of the vibration phase differences. If the exciter vibration, however, leads to the different parts of the body oscillating with different phase difference, in the determination of the vibration phase difference to be assigned to a specific image area, the phase position of the signal of an image area surrounding the specific image area and/or adjacent thereto can be used as a reference phase.
Fundamentally it would be possible not only to represent the concealed objects on the screen, but also the person examined. However, this would inevitably lead to a representation of the naked body of the person examined, which is not tolerable for ethical reasons. Therefore, in connection with the use of an imaging technology it is also preferred to display a location as a pixel only when the imaging value lies in a predetermined value range. In this manner it can be ensured that only the objects to be detected are displayed. Through this the security staff receive additional information on the object, namely on the one hand information on the location where the object is carried on the body and on the other hand information on the type of object in question from the shape of the image.
It should be added that the operation does not necessarily need to be carried out with a single mechanical vibration of predetermined frequency and predetermined phase position as well as predetermined amplitude and predetermined vibration direction. Instead the fact can be utilized that according to Fourier any arbitrary vibration can be shown by superimposition of a plurality of vibrations of predetermined frequency, predetermined phase position, predetermined amplitude and predetermined vibration direction. The signal analysis according to the invention for each of these Fourier components of the mechanical vibration can therefore be carried out separately.
The same also applies to the detection radiation used: here too instead of a monofrequent signal, a composite signal can also be used, which can be represented as a Fourier sum of monofrequent individual signals.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment based on the attached drawings. It shows:
FIG. 1 diagrammatically illustrates the structure of an arrangement according to the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT INVENTION FIG. 1 shows a detection arrangement according to the invention labeled generally by 10. It comprises a vibration plate 12, on which the body to be examined, in the present case the person 14 to be examined, is arranged. The person 14 carries concealed beneath his clothing 16 an object 18, in the present case a handgun, and it is the object of the detection arrangement 10 to detect this object 18.
To this end, the vibration plate 12 is set in vibration with a predetermined frequency and a known phase, wherein this vibration as a forced vibration is also transferred to the body of the person 14 together with his clothing 16 and the handgun 18 carried in a concealed manner. The resulting movement of the person 14, the clothing 16 and the concealed object 18 is scanned by means of terahertz radiation.
To this end, the detection arrangement 10 comprises an emission device 20 with a radiation generation device 22 for terahertz radiation, which can contain, for example, a Gunn oscillator, and a transmitter device 24, which emits the terahertz radiation as detection radiation 26 in the direction of the body of the person 14.
The radiation 28 reflected by the body 14 is picked up by a receiver device 30 and fed to an evaluation device 32. Namely, to be more precise, it is fed to a superimposition device 34 of the evaluation device 32, which superimposes a reference radiation 36 on the reflected radiation 28, which reference radiation is in a known radiation phase relationship to the detection radiation 26. In the case shown in FIG. 1, the reference radiation is nothing but a part of the terahertz radiation generated by the emission device 20, to be more exact, the radiation generation device 22 thereof.
Since the reference radiation 36 thus has the same radiation frequency as the reflected radiation 28, and furthermore the coherence length of the terahertz radiation generated by the radiation generation device 22 is greater than the difference of the tracks of detection radiation 26 and reflected radiation 28 on the one hand and the reference radiation 36 on the other hand, the reference radiation 36 is ideally suitable for scanning the phase length of the reflected radiation. Through the superimposition of the reference radiation 36 on the reflected radiation 28, a signal is obtained which depicts the track change of the reflected radiation 28 as a result of the vibration of the body of the person 14, his clothing 16 and the object 18 carried in a concealed manner.
The superimposed signal 38 is then sent to an analysis device 40 of the evaluation device 32, which filters out of the superimposed radiation 38 the portions having the predetermined vibration frequency of the vibration device 12 and analyzes them with respect to their vibration phase difference from the predetermined vibration phase of the mechanical vibration of the vibration device 12. To this end the analysis device 40 receives from the vibration device 12 a reference signal 42, which depicts the frequency and phase of the vibration device 12.
The evaluation device 32, to be more exact, the analysis device 40 thereof, preferably emits a display signal to a display device 44 only when this vibration phase difference lies in a predetermined value range that is typical for the reaction of objects 18 carried in a concealed manner to the vibration of the vibration device 12.
As shown in FIG. 1, the display device 44 can be an imaging display device, for example the screen of a computer 46. In order to be able to render possible a display with spatial resolution on the screen 44, an optical system 48 with spatial resolution is arranged upstream of the receiver device 30, which optical system scans the body of the person 14 in a two-dimensional manner. The spatial resolution can thereby be for example 1 mm2.
In conclusion, it should be noted that the computer 46 can also be used to control the detection arrangement 10, which is shown in FIG. 1 by the dotted line 50.
In a concrete case, with the use of CW (continuous wave) radiation a possibility results of receiving access to the acoustic phase. If the reflected radiation is mixed in the homodyne method with a reference beam, the interference depends on the path differences between the two beams. The extension of the path (x2−x1) through the acoustic vibration of the object then leads to a periodic interference signal, which depicts the acoustic phase (ωacoustt+Φ) of the object. On the time scale of the acoustic vibrations, after notification about the THz period an interference signal results, wherein Δ=x2.0−x1.0 is the path length difference in neutral position and A is the amplitude of the vibration:
I ^  ( t ) = 2  I 1  I 2 � cos  ( 2  π λ   THz  [ Δ + 2  A   sin  ( ω acoust  t + ϕ ) ] ) = const � cos  ( a + b  ( t ) ) ( 1 ) With the development of the cosine in a power series and subsequent restriction to terms of the first harmonic of ωacoust, that is, just as it makes a frequency filter, the following results:
cos  ( a + b  ( t ) )  ❘ ω acoust = [ - a + 1 6  a 3 - 1 90  a 5 � � ] � sin  ( ω acount  t + ϕ ) ( 2 ) The last term shows that the acoustic phase results from the interference with the use of a frequency filter. However, the amplitudes converge depending on A against a positive or against a negative value of the same size. It should be noted that this measuring principle permits only two possible results, namely either an acoustic phase of −Φ or of +Φ. If the object is not driven to oscillate directly, but via a body lying in between with the phase Ψ, the two possible measuring values result in Ψ�Φ.
If the acoustic phase Φ deviates from 90�, the measuring principle yields the possible results Φ or Φ−π.
It should also be added that the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal evaluated by the evaluation device 32 to determine the acoustic phase depends on the optical phase with which the detection radiation emitted by the emission device 20 strikes the body 14. However, it is possible to set or optimize the signal-to-noise ratio for each pixel at a high value, namely through changing the wavelength of the detection radiation emitted by the emission device 20 or through changing the position of the emission device 20 or through another suitable measure. It should be taken into consideration thereby that with a wavelength of the detection radiation in the order of magnitude of 1 mm and a distance between emission device and body in the order of magnitude of 1 m a wavelength change in the order of magnitude of 0.1% or a position change in the order of magnitude of 1 mm is already sufficient.
Furthermore, it is possible to avoid undesirable jumps of the acoustic phase between Φ or Ψ−π through the suitable selection of the wavelength of the detection radiation and/or the distance between emission device and body. The signal evaluated for determining the acoustic phase by the evaluation device 32 can hereby be more clearly interpreted and thus more easily evaluated.
With respect to the criteria referenced above, it can be summarized
that the discussed technology is a modulation technology and thus a good sensitivity is to be expected, that the technology leads to a sufficiently clear measurement signal, that the criterion of completeness is met, since all objects with a mass can be detected, that the method can be carried out on people in a physiologically tolerable manner, that the method is ethically unobjectionable with respect to the representation of the human body. Due to the clarity of the measurement values, it is easy to represent only those objects that are distinguishable from the background in their acoustic phase.

Revision as of 20:30, 10 September 2009 by BakerBH (talk | contribs)
Before 1858, every town and parish in Bedfordshire was under the probate jurisdiction of a primary court and several secondary courts. The court that had primary jurisdiction over most of Bedfordshire, with just a few exceptions, was the Court of the Archdeacon of Bedford. The secondary courts over most of Bedfordshire were the Court of the Bishop of Lincoln (Episcopal Consistory) before 1837, and the Court of the Bishop of Ely (Episcopal Consistory) starting in 1837. The courts should be searched in order of primary court first and secondary court second. The Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury (and the appeals courts if necessary) should be searched last.

Last week I won an Olympic gold - now I've got to save my marriage | Daily Mail Online
Last week I won an Olympic
gold - now I've got to save
Updated: 20:07 EST, 30 August 2008
When Tim Brabants crossed the finishing line first in the Olympic kayaking final, he clenched his fist in a simple, yet heartfelt, gesture of celebration.
Winning the gruelling 1000m race last weekend symbolised not only his extraordinary
skill but a dogged determination to realise his dream.
And as his achievement was broadcast around the world – Britain’s 18th gold medal of the Beijing Games – he shared his joy with millions.
Happier times in 2001: Years of training has meant Tim Brabant's relationship with his wife Michelle has suffered
Back in Britain, he has been heralded a hero by fellow athletes, royalty and armchair fans alike.
But there is one person who has not yet been able to congratulate him in person – his wife, Michelle.
Rather than cheer him on from the shores of Shunyi Lake in Beijing, she watched the race sitting in her office canteen in the East Midlands.
She was not at Heathrow Airport to greet him and, bizarrely, she has still not seen him since his momentous win.
The reason? Michelle is on a camping holiday with friends, so a reunion with her hero husband will just have to wait.
By conventional standards, theirs seems like a marriage on the brink of a break-up.
Since their wedding in 2001, the couple have had to make do with snatched weekends and long-distance phone calls.
They have forfeited holidays and missed out on birthdays, anniversaries and even their honeymoon.
Such was Brabants’ enduring obsession with his sport, and the growing hype surrounding him, that last week Michelle even told him on the phone: ‘I don’t feel like I know you any more.’
Worth the wait: Tim sacrificed years of his life to concentrate on training, culminating in this moment when he won gold at Beijing
But, now that he has achieved his lifelong ambition, he is finally able to turn his attention to the woman he loves and fight for their relationship with all the zeal he displayed at the Olympics.
‘Training took over everything and that includes my marriage,’ he says. ‘I feel guilty that I have let Michelle down and have not been there for her. She has been endlessly supportive and I’ve definitely been the luckier one in our relationship.
‘We haven’t split up, we still love each other and there has been no one else, but my kayaking has definitely put a strain on us. Our marriage is far from conventional and we haven’t been involved in each other’s lives.
‘But now that I’ve won my gold medal, that’s going to change. I am going to put her first and move the relationship forward. She is the most important part of my life.’
It is a life that has been filled with more than two decades of sacrifice, and not solely on the romantic front. Brabants – who qualified as a doctor before giving up his job to concentrate on canoeing – offers not only a poignant example of how much hardship becoming an Olympic athlete entails but a stark reminder of the reality of that life once it is achieved.
Tim proudly shows off his medals - gold in the 1000m and bronze in the 500m sprint
This is the third Games he has competed in. He also won a bronze the day after his gold for the 500m sprint kayaking final.
Yet he is still slightly bemused by the recognition he receives in the street. He refuses the offer of a taxi to our interview because he says public transport is quicker.
He is wearing a free T-shirt given to him by a sponsor.
And, although he apologises endlessly for ‘droning on’, he is, by his own admission, not ‘emotive’ or prone to boasting about his endeavours.
Tim congratulates Australia's Ken Wallace, who won the 500m kayak sprint
His self-deprecating manner hardly befits a national hero who was personally congratulated by Princess Anne last weekend on his flight home and welcomed back into Britain by Gordon Brown.
After all, one could scarcely imagine David Beckham or Andrew Flintoff hopping on the Tube after winning a world title. But that, he says, is part of the problem.
‘People think I must have thousands in the bank and be living a flash life but, really, as soon as I got home I put a load of washing on,’ he smiles.
‘I have just about managed to get by on the Lottery funding I receive and, although I’m hoping my sponsorship will go up, I haven’t had any emails offering me more money yet.
‘Now the Olympics is over, I am going to start looking for work as a doctor. Medicine has been my other major passion and I am looking forward to feeling useful again.’
Brabants, now 31, first paddled a kayak, a form of canoe, at the age of ten.
‘My mum thought it would keep me busy during the summer holidays,’ he remembers.
Tim paddles into third place in the 500m to win his second medal of the Beijing Olympics
His father, Peter, was an engineer; his mother, Liz, worked for a food importing company. ‘As soon as I started beating people on the river, I knew I had to keep going,’ he says.
At 15, he began training with Eric Farrell, his coach for 16 years.
His competitive nature soon saw him outclassing friends in his exams and excelling at sport.
‘Because no one else was bothered, I’d compete in the 100, 200 and 400 metres on sports day,’ he remembers.
‘But it didn’t get me respect. If I had kudos for anything, it was for being a nerd. I lived a reclusive life that consisted of studying and training.’
Achieving three As in his A-levels, he chose Nottingham University because it was the only one with both reputable medical and kayaking facilities.
It wasn’t until he met Michelle, in 1998, that he fell in love for the first time.
Aged 21, he was celebrating after a race in Cape Town, South Africa, where Michelle, then a business management student and a year younger than him, lived with her family.
‘I’d had a couple of girlfriends before but they hadn’t meant anything,’ he recalls.
‘It was only when I met Michelle that I understood what it was all about. She was good-looking, blonde and friendly, a breath of fresh air.
After the competition she showed me round the city and took me to her parents’ house for a barbecue.’
Three months later, he saw her again during a trip to Cape Town. They kept in contact with emails and phone calls and after Michelle, the daughter of an architect and a doctor’s receptionist, graduated the following year, she moved to Nottingham.
‘She was only going to stay a couple of years but after a year we moved in together,’ he says. ‘It was a huge sacrifice on her part and she missed home a lot,’ he admits.
‘But we got on brilliantly and she understood my passion for kayaking.’
In 2000 came the Sydney Olympics. Brabants, who had put his degree on hold to compete, won a bronze, witnessed by his parents but not Michelle.
‘We couldn’t afford for her to travel,’ he says, by way of explanation. ‘Plus, she gets more stressed before my races than me. She knows how I’m feeling even if she’s not there in the flesh. It’s better she watches on television so I can focus my energy on winning.’
His words sound cold, selfish even, and it is hard to see how Michelle could help but feel shut out. After all, prior to major competitions, Brabants would be away for up to two months at a time.
When he wasn’t abroad, he was based at his parents’ house in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, for its proximity to the Royal Canoe Club in Teddington.
He would miss anniversaries and her birthday. He was so busy training on his own 30th birthday that he had to be reminded by a team-mate.
But Brabants insists any arguments were minor. ‘She had joined a hockey team and made loads of friends in Britain,’ he says. ‘She is the life and soul of the party and the first person people came to with their problems. So even though we had quite separate lives, she was quite busy too and we were both happy.’
They married the following year, after he had flown to Cape Town to ask her father’s permission. There was no time for a honeymoon – Brabants was straight back into training.
‘I did feel bad and she wasn’t too happy about it either,’ he admits.
After graduating in 2002, he found work at Nottingham City Hospital, but he left after 14 months to concentrate on the 2004 Olympics.
The plan, he says, was to give up the sport for good afterwards: ‘I knew that if I did well in Athens I could happily retire.’
Unfortunately, however, he came fourth – and his ambition was left unrealised.
‘Michelle knew I’d have to carry on. She knows me better than I know myself,’ he says.
‘She didn’t try to stop me – she was getting used to it – but it did make things difficult.’
Their relationship was put under even more strain when Brabants – back at work – accepted a senior house officer’s position in the Accident and Emergency department of Jersey General Hospital.
Michelle, an admin worker for the British Geological Survey, stayed at their two-bedroom flat in Nottingham.
‘We did talk about her coming with me but decided against it,’ he says, slightly sheepishly, aware the set-up sounds vaguely unhealthy.
‘I was working 14-hour days and 90-hour weeks. It wouldn’t have made sense. Instead, I arranged to fly back at weekends.’
But in February 2005 his mother was diagnosed with leukaemia and any spare hours he had were spent visiting the family home. She died that December, aged just 59.
‘It was the most difficult time of my life,’ he says in his typical understated manner. ‘As a doctor you see people dying all the time but this was different. Luckily we’re a very close family and supported each other. I didn’t have time to train and I didn’t see Michelle for months. It was devastating for her as well. She got on well with my mum and came to visit her too.’
Apart from a free trip to Amsterdam, given to them by a Nottingham radio station after the Sydney Olympics, the only other holiday the pair have been on is a camping weekend in Norfolk – for which Brabants had to lie to his coach and pretend he was training.
‘We couldn’t afford to go away,’ he says. ‘When I’m training, I live on £24,000 a year of National Lottery funding. It’s a decent salary for doing something you love. But it only just covers the mortgage and my travel.’
His preparation for Beijing was meticulous.
Having quit medicine again two years ago to focus on the Games, he trained for six hours a day on a 13-days-on, one-day-off basis.
He kayaked around 150km a week, eating up to 7,000 calories a day and completing gruelling sets of 200 pull-ups. ‘I was driven on by the desire to win,’ he says.
‘My team-mates and I were endlessly competitive. We’d try to do our pull-ups quicker than each other. On the way to Beijing, we’d even try to race each other through passport control.’
In China, the team-mates’ camaraderie kept them going. Based at the Beijing Conference Centre, their coach turned a room into a cinema so they could watch DVDs to relax.
‘Some of the track and field athletes thought there was a hierarchy but we got on brilliantly,’ he says. ‘I did miss Michelle but being apart meant I was better able to focus. We spoke every day and I ran up hundreds of pounds worth of phone bills.’
He found it more difficult to get to sleep the night after his momentous victory than he did the night before. ‘I woke up at 2am, put my arms in the air and thought, “I’m an Olympic champion.” I suddenly felt lighter.’
He has had one pint since his win – on the evening of his 500m final – which he says made him light-headed.
On the flight home, he was put in first class for the first time ever – alongside swimmer Rebecca Adlington, cyclist Chris Hoy and Princess Anne – on account of his medal success. ‘I watched Kung Fu Panda and wrote replies to the 200 emails I’d received congratulating me,’ he says.
Michelle, meanwhile, was receiving almost as much attention as him.
‘On the day of my win she said she didn’t feel like she knew me any more. All her friends and colleagues were telling her things they had read about me in the papers. It was as if my media image had overtaken the real me. She didn’t want a fuss and found it weird.’
It is hard to imagine someone like Victoria Beckham shunning away from the reflected glory of her husband’s achievements. But, unlike a paparazzi-seeking sporting WAG, Michelle is not a fan of unnecessary attention.
Nor, it has to be said, does she seem in a desperate hurry to see Brabants again. He has been staying at his father’s house and will have to wait until tomorrow, when she returns from a camping trip with her girlfriends, to be reunited with her.
‘Of course, I’ve missed her and I can’t wait to see her,’ he says. ‘I’d like to go on holiday with her, to South Africa, if we can afford it. She’d like to have children and I definitely want to start a family. So things will change and I hope we’ll spend more time together.’
Since announcing his plans to return to medicine, he has received several offers of unpaid clinical attachment work from former employers.
No doubt he will find it a strange experience, especially as some of his contemporaries have almost qualified as consultants on six-figure salaries, but it is one he needs to fulfil to regain his competency.
‘Medicine and sport have a lot in common,’ he says. ‘As a doctor, I work in a team and feed off others for motivation. And it’s a cliche, but of course saving lives is rewarding.
I am hoping to find work in Nottingham so I can be with Michelle.’
He will attend his third Olympic reception at Buckingham Palace next month.
‘A lot of athletes fall into depression after the Games,’ he says. ‘After everything they’ve been through they feel empty. I haven’t had time to feel sad yet. It’s not even sunk in that I’ve won.’
When it does, he is going to put kayaking – for so long the all-consuming passion in his life – to one side to make room for his long-suffering wife.
‘I think the sacrifices I’ve made for sport have been worth it,’ he says.
‘But Michelle is the one who will be there when the sport is over. And she is the one I want to celebrate my success with.’
Last week I won an Olympic gold - now I've got to save my marriage

- Harrison to get $20M in bonuses
Monday, April 13, 2009Updated: April 14, 9:23 AM ET
Harrison was the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year last season and had a 100-yard interception return before the half in the Steelers' Super Bowl victory over the Arizona Cardinals. He was scheduled to make $1.4 million this season, the final year of his contract. Included in the contract, which will be officially announced Tuesday, is about $20 million in bonuses. "James is pleased he will be a Steeler for the rest of his NFL career, in all probability, which is what he wanted," Bill Parise, Harrison's agent, told The Associated Press. "The contract is reflective of him being the defensive player of the year."
According to Parise, the contract is the largest signed by an NFL linebacker, although the total value of the contract is not guaranteed.
Harrison rose from being an undrafted player cut a few times into one of the best defensive players in professional football. The 30-year-old Harrison had 16 sacks in 15 regular-season games last year and he had 8� sacks in 2007. He took over a starting job after the departure of Joey Porter following the 2006 season and has 199 tackles during his two seasons as a starter.
The contract extension for Harrison was considered one of the main goals for the Steelers during the offseason. The team wanted to reward him for last season and prevent him from hitting the free-agent market in 2010. He played his college ball at Kent State University, which also produced Hall of Fame Steelers linebacker Jack Lambert.

The historical course of Christianity in the twentieth century has been strongly marked by the Ecumenical Movement and the Liturgical Movement, and often these currents for the recovery of the Church's unity and the renewal of its worship have flowed together. In this new book, author Geoffrey Wainwright draws on his three decades of active participation in both movements to offer a theologically informed account of what has been at stake in them, what their achievements have been, and what tasks remain for them to accomplish. He shows how the two movements have engaged such issues as the authority and function of scripture and tradition as well as the nature of the Church and sacraments. In this last connection, Wainwright illuminates the convergence represented by the widely received Lima text on "Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry," in the writing of which he played a prominent part. The linguistic and anthropological turns that characterize twentieth-century thought are reflected in the attention given to the language and ritual of worship. The social location of the Church is addressed in chapters that look to liturgical practices for common Christian perspectives on ethics, politics, and culture, so that discords and conflicts may be resolved and reconciled. The book makes its own contribution to the symphony of praise to which the apostle Paul summons Christians and the churches when they will "with one mind and one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Geoffrey Wainwright is at Duke University.
