Title: Fluorimetric detection system of a nucleic acid
IPC: C12Q1/6823
Filed: 1998-11-27
Abstract: A method for determining a characteristic of a sequence, said method comprising;  (a) adding to a sample suspected of containing said sequence, a probe specific for a target sequence and a DNA duplex binding agent, said probe comprising a reactive molecule able to absorb fluorescence from or donate fluorescent energy to said DNA duplex binding agent,  (b) subjecting said sample to conditions under which the said probe hybridises to the said sequence,  (c) monitoring fluorescence from said sample and determining a particular reaction condition, characteristic of said sequence, at which fluorescence changes as a result of the hybridisation of the probe to the sample or destabilisation of the duplex formed between the probe and the target nucleic acid sequence.    A nucleic acid detection system utilising a similar operating procedure is also described and claimed.
Patent GB-0013138-D0 (GB)
Title: Virtual machine support for multiple aplications
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2000-05-31
Abstract: A computer system runs a virtual machine which is typically capable of supporting only a single application. In order to run multiple applications on it, a single environment application is first started running on the virtual machine. Then, one or more applications are loaded into said environment application as compiled code. The loading includes scanning the compiled code for predetermined instructions, and making a modification to such predetermined instructions to call back to the environment application. This allows certain problematic instructions from the application, such as those which attempt to shut down the virtual machine, to be replaced. Each of the one or more applications is assigned to a separate thread within the environment application. This allows the one or more applications to be run by running their assigned threads within the environment application. The effect of this is that the one or more applications appear to the virtual machine as part of the environment application, in other words as if only one application in total were running on the virtual machine.

Title: Fasteners
IPC: A47C21/06
Filed: 2002-04-08
Abstract: A mattress cover, especially for hospital mattresses prevents the ingress of liquids to the mattress core.

Title: Functional therapeutic corporeal and wound dressing heaters
IPC: A61F7/02
Filed: 2003-06-02
Abstract: A breathable electrical heater element for a topical application device such as a wound dressing or a therapeutic heating pad is disclosed. The heater element is formed by photochemically etching a track pattern onto a porous metallised fabric (e.g. nickel coated woven polyester). The heater element has a skin or wound contact layer laminated to the front face of the heater element. An adhesive layer is laminated to the back face of the heater element. The adhesive layer forms an overhang to provide an adhesive border around the wound contact layer to adhere the device to the skin of a patient. Therapeutically active drugs (optionally microencapsulated) may be incorporated into the skin or wound contact layer. Operation of the heater element causes the skin or wound contact layer to release the active drugs to the skin or wound of the patient. Appropriate control of the temperature of the heater element allows control of the release of the active drugs.

Title: Electromagnetic compression apparatus, methods, and systems
Filed: 2008-10-27
Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and systems provide electromagnetic compression. In some approaches the electromagnetic compression is achieved with metamaterials.

Title: Hinge
IPC: B60R21/34
Filed: 1999-09-29
Abstract: As shown, a hinge mechanism 14 pivotally mounts a motor vehicle bonnet 12 on to a motor vehicle body. In the normal operating position, leaf members 22 and 26 are connected by catch members 30 and pivot about one fixed axis 18 relative to a lower leaf member 24. The application of a greater than normal upward force on the rear of the bonnet (eg due to the inflation of a safety air bag below the bonnet) allows the release of catch members 30 to enable the hinge to open out into a backward 'Z' shape as shown, whereby leaf member 22 can pivot about axis 28. The bonnet can rise to a pre-determined height by pivoting about more than one axis with members 22 and 24 able to move apart from each other and towards each other. The hinge mechanism is able to subsequently return to the normal operating position when a greater than normal downward force is applied to the bonnet.
