Abstract: The present invention relates to novel nucleic acid molecules encoding a Rhesus D antigen contributing to the weak D phenotype which are characterized by one or a combination of missense mutations or by a gene conversion involving exons 6 to 9 of the RHD and RHCE genes. The present invention further relates to vectors comprising the nucleic acid molecules of the invention, to hosts transformed with said vectors, to proteins encoded by said nucleic acid molecules and to methods of producing such polypeptides. The fact that missense mutations and the conversion referred to above can be directly correlated to the weak D phenotype has a significant impact on the routine testing of blood samples. For example, oligonucleotides and antibodies can now be designed that generally allow the detection of weak D phenotypes in a sample. Such oligonucleotides, antibodies as well as a variety of diagnostic methods all fall within the scope of the present invention. RhD antigens encoded by the novel nucleic acid molecules may be used for the characterization, standardization and quality control of monoclonal and polyclonal anti-D antisera. Finally, the invention relates to a kit useful for testing for the presence of weak D phenotypes.

Title: Magnetic gradient field projection
Inventor: MORRIS PETER GORDON
IPC: G01V3/00
Filed: 1999-04-16
Abstract: The invention relates to the projection of magnetic gradient fields for use in Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The projection of a gradient outside of a field generating assembly allows imaging of samples which will not physically fit inside the coil confines. An apparatus and method for improving the linearity of the projected gradient field are disclosed. This is achieved by arranging the position of the magnetic field generating coil conductors such that the second derivative of a gradient component is equal to zero. In one practical example the linearity is improved by providing a first circular coil which is positioned so that its centre is offset along the axis of the field generating coil assembly by a distance equal to half the radius of the coil. In another example a pair of current carrying wires are selectively positioned offset from a region of interest.

Title: Dual filter with flow mixer
Inventor: STAMEY WILLIE L JR
IPC: F01M11/03
Filed: 2000-12-28
Abstract: A filter for filtering a fluid, such as lubricating oil for an engine, has a full flow filter element and a bypass filter element stacked on the full flow filter element. A flow-deflecting element is disposed between the full flow filter element and bypass filter element to provide a spinning motion to oil flowing from the bypass element as that oil joins oil which is passed through the full flow filter element. The spinning motion of the oil from the bypass filter element encourages mixing of the oil from the bypass filter element with the oil filtered by the full filter element. During operation of the engine this arrangement tends to provide cleaner lubricating oil and therefore reduces engine wear while increasing the time interval between scheduled maintenance.

IPC: G21F9/30
Filed: 2001-06-06
Abstract: Specifying or selecting a new material MAB with an active element AB includes estimating a particular property as follows. First descriptors DXY for a range of materials MXY are determined; each material has an index RXY for the particular property. The correlation RXY = f(DXY) and the value of DAB for MAB are both determined. Then the value of MAB is estimated from RAB. Independent claims are included for the following: (a) In the above method the descriptors are found by identifying their crystalline characteristics, calculating the total energy in a single chemical bond and then iteratively finding an optimal value for this energy. The calculation is repeated by first eliminating the A atoms and then the B atoms. From this it is possible to determine the optimum number of atoms A and B and to calculate the value of the descriptor. (b) The method of calculating descriptors as in (a). (c) Use of either of the above methods in the formation or modification or prevention of a chemical reaction.
