Title: Anthrax specific antibodies
Inventor: MANGOLD BEVERLY L
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2001-04-30
Abstract: The present invention is directed to diagnostic tools and therapies using antibodies to Bacilus anthracis. Specifically, the present invention is directed to a B. anthracis-specific monoclonal antibody that binds to the EA1 antigen (corresponding to the eag gene) of the S-layer (surface layer) of spores. This monoclonal antibody may be used in a variety of applications, including to specifically detect and diagnose B. anthracis. Preferably, antibodies are monoclonal and bind to a surface protein, such as EA1 protein, on the spores of B. anthracis, and not to spores of either B. cereus or B.  thuringiensis. Antibodies can be incorporated into detection kits using, for example, colloidal particle based lateral flow detection system. Such detection kits can distinguish anthrax spores from non-pathogenic varieties of spores. In addition, the invention is directed to B. anthracis EA1 antigen and pharmaceuticals such as vaccines that can be used as therapeutics and to develop improved antibodies and detection methods.

Title: Detection of printing and coating media
Inventor: MACNAB NEIL AITCHISON
IPC: G07D7/12
Filed: 2001-10-12
Abstract: Method and apparatus are described for determining if an optically variable material (OVM) is present in or on a surface, typically of a security document such as a banknote. In some embodiments the particular type of OVM is identified. In other embodiments a pass or fail signal is generated depending on whether a specific OVM is found on the surface. The surface is subjected to at least two different wavelengths of illuminating light at a particular angle to the surface and the intensity of the light reflected and/or scattered light from the surface is determined using photodiodes. The analogue output from the photodiodes may be digitised and the digital values processed according to one or another of different algorithms described, so as to produce an output signal whose value can be compared with one or more stored reference values in a look-up table, to produce a decision signal. Comparison of the analogue photodiode output signal values against a look-up table can be used to indicate the concentration of the OVM on the surface. Methods and apparatus are described for document authentication and identification, coating quality control and document sorting, by employing the methods and apparatus described.

Title: Dynamic reallocation hedge accounting
Inventor: EVANS MARK
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2001-11-28
Abstract: A hedged exposure and an associated hedging instrument can be accounted for to reduce periodic earnings volatility associated with the hedged exposure. The accounting to reduce the earnings volatility includes designating a portion of the value of the financial exposure as being hedged by the hedging instrument. The designated portion is determined based on a price sensitivity of the hedging instrument with respect to changes in market value of an underlying instrument. In each of a number of sequential periods, the portion of the financial exposure is redesignated based on changed price sensitivity of the hedging instrument. Periodic earnings volatility associated with a hedged exposure also can be reduced by dividing (for accounting purposes) the hedging instrument into a first part (also referred to as a designated part) and a second part (also referred to as a residue part). This division is made in a way that ensures that changes in the value of the first part substantially offset changes in value of the financial exposure. The method also includes designating a portion of the first part as a hedge of the financial exposure such the remainder of the first part offsets the delta of the second part. In each of a plurality of sequential periods, the portion of the first part is redesignated to maintain the relationship between the first part and the second part whereby the remainder of the first part offsets the delta of the second part.

Filed: 2003-06-18
Abstract: The invention describes a wet-chemical process for the preparation of alpha- and beta-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) powders. The procedure simply comprises immediate addition of di-ammonium hydrogen phosphate to an aqueous solution of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, or vice versa. Calcination of the recovered precursor powders at 800°C in air produces beta-TCP, whereas the calcination of the same at 1200°C, followed by rapid cooling to room temperature yields submicron-particulated alpha-TCP powders. These powders can be the raw materials for bioceramics, such as artificial bones, artificial joints, artificial tooth roots, and calcium phosphate-based self-setting, self-hardening cements.

Abstract: A system for detecting, identifying and docking aircraft using laser pulses to obtain a profile of an object in the distance initially scans the area in front of the gate until it locates and identifies an object. Once the identi ty of the object is known, the system tracks the object. The system also monito rs an area of the apron near the object to detect obstacles such as ground service vehicles. The system also analyzes the laser pulses to determine whether they are reflected from a solid object or from fog or other condensation or precipitation to avoid misidentifying condensation or precipitation as a solid object.
