Abstract: The present detector for detecting sulfur components comprises a storage portion for storing SO x  and NO x  in the exhaust gas passing through an exhaust passage, in which the more an amount of stored SO x  increases, the more an amount of NO x  that can be stored decreases, estimates the amount of stored SO x  on the basis of an amount of NO x  stored in the storage portion, and detects an integrated amount of SO x  passing through the exhaust passage during a given period or an value on the basis of the integrated amount. In the present detector, the estimating of the amount of stored SO x  for detecting the integrated amount of SO x  or the value on the basis of the integrated amount (step 105) is prohibited when a current amount of NO x  that can be stored is not stored in the storage portion (step 102).

Abstract: A planar optical platform for generating a Raman signal from a foreign object comprises a plasmonic band structure region. The plasmonic band structure region comprises a layer of a first material, having a first refractive index, patterned with an array of sub-regions of a second material, having a second refractive index, wherein a side-wall of each sub-region is coated with a metallodielectric layer. The array of sub-regions gives rise to a plasmonic band structure and, in use, each sub-region confines a plasmon resonance excited by optical radiation coupled into the plasmonic band structure region, which gives rise to a Raman signal from a foreign object placed proximate the plasmonic band structure region. The platform may be incorporated into a spectroscopic measurement system and is particularly useful for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of analyte molecules.

Abstract: This invention provides methods to prepare and use immunostimulatory cells for enhancing an immune response. The invention provides a method for preparing mature dendritic cells (DCs), comprising the sequential steps of: (a) signaling isolated immature dendritic cells (iDCs) with a first signal comprising an interferon gamma receptor (IFN-γR) agonist and/or a tumor necrosis factor alpha receptor (TNF-αR) agonist to produce signaled dendritic cells; and (b) signaling said signaled dendritic cells with a second transient signal comprising an effective amount of a CD40 agonist to produce CCR7+ mature dendritic cells. Also provided by this invention are enriched populations of dendritic cells prepared by the methods of the invention. Such dendritic cells have enhanced immunostimulatory properties and increased IL-12 secretion and/or decreased IL-10 secretion. CD40 signaling can be initiated by one or more of polypeptide translated from an exogenous polynucleotide encoding CD40L (e.g. mRNA or DNA), an agonistic antibody to CD40 receptor or by CD40 ligand polypeptide. The enriched populations can be further modified by the administration of an immunogen to the DC. The DC will take up and process the immunogen on its cell surface.

It is comprised of a switch insert (10) and a frame and rocker (20,30) sub-assembly comprising a frame (20), rocker(s) (30) and a rocker adapter (21). A rocker adapter (21) is snap-fit onto the centre of the frame (20) opening. A rocker (30) or double rockers (30) are assembled with snap-fit means (31) onto the pins (22) on the rocker adapter (21), thereby allowing the rocker (30) to centre itself to the frame (20) opening and rock back and forth on the rocker adapter (21) pin (22) axis. When the frame and rocker (20,30) sub-assembly is assembled on the switch insert (10), the flanges of the frame (23) and the rocker adapter tabs (41) slide over the primary tabs (14) with teeth and the secondary tabs (37) on the insert adapter (15) of the switch insert (10). The frame and rocker (20,30) sub-assembly is capable of movement in 6 axis over the insert (10). The additional 3 axis of movement allows the spacing and orientation between the switch inserts (10) to be less perfect, thereby making gang-frame (26) and multi-switch insert (10) installations easy, trouble-free and time-saving; Furthermore, this switch design allows the frame (20) or gang-frame (26) to align itself to uneven wall surfaces (40) thereby eliminating any separation between the frame (20) or gang-frame (26) and the wall (40).
