Abstract: A safety arrangement for a medical needle (15) has a support (14) for carrying the mount end of the needle, and a sleeve (16) slidably mounted on the support (14) for movement from an initial position to a retracted position and then back to a protecting position where the sleeve (16) covers the tip (21) of the needle (15). A spring (32) urges the sleeve towards its protecting position and a blocking member (23) projects forwardly from the support (14) and is movable between non-blocking and blocking positions. In the non-blocking position the sleeve (16) is free to slide from its initial position to its retracted position. On movement of the sleeve to its protecting position, the blocking member (23) moves to lie between the support (14) and sleeve (16) to prevent subsequent movement of the sleeve away from its protecting position. A control mechanism (27) releases the blocking member (23) so that it may move from its non-blocking position to its blocking position, the mechanism (27) being controlled by movement of the sleeve (16) from its initial position at least partway towards its retracted position.

Title: Kinase and phosphatase assay based on fret
Inventor: ENDERLE THILO
IPC: G01N33/58
Filed: 2006-07-20
Granted: 2010-09-14
Abstract: Disclosed is a kinase and phosphatase assay based on Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET). The assay involves; dephosphorylating a phosphorylated substrate molecule labelled with an energy acceptor of a FRET pair with a phosphatase; contacting the dephosphorylated substate molecule with an energy donor of the FRET pair and a binding partner that only binds phosphorylated substrate molecule and the detection molecule. The contacting of the substrate molecule with the detection molecule and the binding partner result in binding of the phosphorylated substrate molecule and the detection molecule to the binding partner. The assay also includes a step of determining phosphatase activity by measuring energy transfer from the energy donor of the phosphorylated substrate molecule bound to the binding partner to the energy acceptor of the detection molecule bound to the binding partners. The assay can be useful for screening for compounds that can modulate specific signalling pathways.

Title: Electronic circuit package with cavity resonance cut off member
Inventor: POWELL JEFFREY
IPC: H05K9/00
Filed: 2004-12-06
Granted: 2014-07-15
Abstract: Electrical circuits (4) operating at high frequencies will, due to their nature often radiate electromagnetic energy. The problem gets worse as the frequency of operation gets higher, as the radiation wavelenght becomes correspondingly shorter, and hence becomes closer to a lenght at which the package itself will be resonant. In order to avoid cavity mode resonance a cut off member (10) attached to the lid (9) is introduced into the package cavity (2). The cut off member comprises a dielectric substrate coated with a conductive layer. The package cavity (2) could also be filled with a dielectric filler that makes the package appear electrically larger than its physical dimensions due to the shortening of the wavelenght of the electromagnetic fields within a dielectric of increased dielectric constant.
