Title: A rope gripping device
Inventor: QUINN JOHN
IPC: F16G11/00
Filed: 2014-07-31
Abstract: This invention relates to a rope gripping device for use in tying down a load. The rope gripping device comprises an elongate body having a through hole formed therein dimensioned to allow through passage of a rope. The rope gripping device further comprises an anchoring means adjacent one end of the elongate body for securing the elongate body in position relative to a fixed object, such as a trailer, a cleat for gripping a rope passed through the through hole and a rope guide adjacent to the cleat for tailing the rope passing through the cleat. The device is mounted on the trailer by the anchoring means before a rope is tied to the other side of the trailer, led over the load and inserted into the through hhole of the device before being secured in place by the cleat of the device. By having such a rope gripping device, the rope can be tensioned with ease. <Figure 3(d)>

Granted: 2011-08-11
Abstract: Disclosed are methods for determining the stage of neurofibrillary degeneration associated with a tauopathy in a subject believed to suffer from the disease, which methods comprise the steps of: (i) introducing into the subject a ligand capable of labelling aggregated paired helical filament (PHF) tau protein, (ii) determining the presence and/or amount of ligand bound to extracellular aggregated PHF tau in the medial temporal lobe of the brain of the subject, (iii) correlating the result of the determination made in (ii) with the extent of neurofibrillary degeneration in the subject. The methods can be used for pre-mortem diagnosis and staging of tauopathies such as Alzheimer's Disease. Preferred ligands include sulphonated-benzothiazole-like compounds and diaminophenothiazines. Novel ligands (e.g. sulphonated benzothiazole-like compounds) are also provided. The method may also include the use of "blocking ligands" to block competing binding sites. In other aspects the invention provides in vitro methods for identifying ligands capable of labelling aggregated PHF tau protein, the methods comprising the steps of : (i) providing a first agent suspected of being capable of labelling aggregated PHF tau protein, (ii) contacting (a) a tau protein or a derivative thereof containing the tau core fragment bound to a solid phase so as to expose a high affinity tau capture site, with (b) a liquid phase tau protein or derivative thereof capable of binding to the solid tau protein or derivative, and (c) said selected first agent and (d) a second agent known to be tau-tau binding inhibitor, (iii) selecting first agent which fully or partially relieves the inhibition of binding of the liquid phase tau protein or derivative of (b) to the solid phase tau protein or derivative of (a) by the inhibitor (d). Ligands may also be tested to confirm that they are not themselves inhibitors.
