Abstract: Assessment of one of the sensory nervous systems of a human subject using patterns of null and non-null stimuli. Parts of the visual system for example, are presented with two simultaneous sequences of stimuli. Each sequence is varied over time between a null stimulus and one or more less frequent non-null stimuli. The variation of each sequence is also controlled so that neighbouring parts of the sensory system are less likely to receive simultaneous non-null stimuli. The stimuli are therefore sparse both in time and in some other aspect, typically a spatial dimension. One or more responses of the subject are measured and weight functions are determined for assessment of the sensory system.

Abstract: A new method and system for desorption ionization is described and applied to the ionization of various compounds, including peptides and proteins present on metal, polymer, and mineral surfaces. Desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) is carried out by directing charged droplets and/or ions of a liquid onto the surface to be analyzed. The impact of the charged particles on the surface produces gaseous ions of material originally present on the surface.  The resulting mass spectra are similar to normal ESI mass spectra in that they show mainly singly or multiply charged molecular ions of the analytes. The DESI phenomenon was observed both in the case of conductive and insulator surfaces and for compounds ranging from nonpolar small molecules such as lycopene, the alkaloid coniceine, and small drugs, through polar compounds such as peptides and proteins. Changes in the solution that is sprayed can be used to selectively ionize particular compounds, including those in biological matrices. In vivo analysis is demonstrated.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention provides a genetically modified cell or non-human organism comprising such cells comprising modified genetic material which when expressed produces a polypeptide co-expressed with a reporter molecule and wherein the polypeptide is associated with terminal differentiation of a haematopoietic cell. Preferably, the genetic material gene is a Blimp allele or a part, fragment or functional form thereof.  Furthermore, the identification of the reporter molecule in B-cell lineage cells indicates that such cells are committed to differentiate or have differentiated into ASC. Alternatively, reporter molecule activity in cells of a T cell lineage indicates that these cells are activated. Thus, as described herein, the presence of Blimp in a lymphocyte indicates that the cell is terminally differentiated or is committed to terminal differentiation.  Exemplary T-cells include CD4+ T-cells and CD8+ T-cells and exemplary B-cells are ASC.

Title: Multi-user motor vehicle telemetric system and method
Inventor: GOODALL COLIN DAVID
IPC: B60R16/02
Filed: 2005-07-21
Granted: 2013-03-19
Abstract: A multi-user vehicle telemetric system comprises vehicle interface units (VIUs), wireless gateways, and one or more central hosts. The VIU in a vehicle collects data over the OBD-II bus and stores the data in the form of DataPoint Records (DPRs) in an on-board non-volatile (e.g. flash) memory. When the VIU  is within wireless range of a gateway, it establishes a WiFi (802.11b) connection with the gateway, and submits stored DPRs to the gateway, to be stored in permanent storage at the gateway. Although the DPRs are stored in permanent storage on the gateway, they are deleted from permanent storage on the gateway after they are successfully uploaded to the central hosts. The gateways are shared, and communicate with the central hosts over a wide area network (WAN). When a gateway has gathered new DPRs from a VIU, it submits these to selected central hosts. The central hosts collect vehicle data for a plurality of users, each user being assigned a central host exclusively, or sharing a central host with other users. Each of the VIUs may be exclusively accessed by a single user or a number of users, and the shared gateways forward DPRs from a VIU only to the central hosts of the users which are authorized to access the VIU.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a turbine engine variable stator vane, comprising a blade (12) extended on one side by a pivot (14) by which it is rotary-mounted in a bore of the turbine engine casing (3) and a platen (13), between the blade and the pivot, perpendicular to the direction formed by the blade and the pivot. The vane is characterised by the fact that the face of the platen opposite the blade includes a first zone (20) and a second zone (22), the first zone (20) being subjected to intense friction with the wall of the casing (3) due to the transverse forces applied on the blade (12), the thickness of the platen on the second zone (22) is decreased relative to the thickness of the platen in the first zone (20). The invention allows the mass of the blade to be reduced without decreasing performance.

Inventor: OWENS THOMAS ROBERT
IPC: C10G21/16
Filed: 2006-10-26
Granted: 2010-06-29
Abstract: A method has been developed for reducing the content of hydrogen sulphide in hydrocarbon streams. The method involves contacting a "sour" gas or fluid with a chemical formulation consisting of triethylene glycol and the reaction products of an amine and an aldehyde. The use of this method and chemical formulations produce spent products consisting of a single phase; thus alleviating problems associated with the deposition of dithiazine solids normally associated with triazine based scavengers. The method is especially useful for alleviating high temperature-induced dithiazine solids.
