Title: Diluent for enzyme immunoassay
Inventor: DOYLE JOHN MARTIN
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2004-05-21
Abstract: A process for preparing a liquid stable, ready-to-use diluent for a protein-enzyme conjugate for use in an enzyme immunoassay for the detection of a human Parvovirus B19 antibody comprises mixing a stabilising amount of cytochrome C and a stabilising amount of bovine serum albumin, a non-ionic surfactant, a preservative and a buffer such that the diluent has a pH in the range 6.4 - 7.4 and equilibrating the diluent for a period of at least 13 days prior adding to the protein-enzyme conjugate thereto. It is found that if a "maturation period" for the diluent of at least 13 days is not allowed for equilibration, then there is an almost complete loss of the activity when the material is stored at elevated temperature.

Title: Magnetic therapy device able to be magnetically clamped to a users clothing
Inventor: MARKLAND PAUL
IPC: A61N2/06
Filed: 2005-01-20
Abstract: A magnotherapy device which can be attached to an item of clothing has a toroidal first part 1 which incorporates a ring magnet. A second part 2 with a flange at one end includes a magnetic element 6 such as a bar magnet. When the two parts are placed on opposite sides of a flexible sheet M, such as clothing, the magnetic element enters an aperture of the first part causing deformation of the sheet, and the two parts are clamped together by magnetic attraction through the sheet. When correctly engaged, blood flowing across either or two opposite faces of the device will be subject to two changes in magnetic field, N-S-N or S-N-S. The flange may incorporate a ferrous metal plate in contact with the first pole of the magnetic element, so that when the two parts are placed together the plate overlies the second pole of the ring magnet to form a magnetic bridge increasing the magnetic field strength at the opposite face.

Title: Connection to embedded signal line in PCB
Inventor: PARKIN NEIL JAMES
IPC: H01R13/646
Filed: 2005-06-17
Abstract: A printed circuit board 30 has an embedded signal line 35 which may be shielded by conductors on the surface of the PCB. The signal line connects at one end to an electrical component 37 mounted on the PCB through a via 31 and a track 8 on the surface of the PCB.
