Title: Use of KIR genes for predicting response to therapy
Filed: 2007-12-11
Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of at least one Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor gene for the identification of subjects likely to respond to tumour necrosis factor-based therapy.

Title: A thrust mount arrangement for an aircraft engine
Filed: 2009-02-23
Abstract: A thrust mount arrangement (10) is disclosed for mounting a gas turbine engine (1) to an aircraft via a pylon (4). The thrust mount arrangement (10) comprises a mounting bracket (13) fixedly mountable to said pylon (4), and a pair of thrust links (12) connected to said mounting bracket (13) and connectable to said engine (1) so as to define in combination with said mounting bracket (13) a primary load path between the engine (1) and the pylon (4) to carry engine loads under normal operating conditions. The arrangement is  characterised in that  said thrust links (12) are each configured to engage the pylon (4) directly in the event of failure of the primary load path, so as to define an auxiliary load path between the engine (1) and the pylon (4). This arrangement thus provides an auxiliary load path which follows a different route to the primary load path, by eliminating the mounting bracket (13) from the auxiliary load path. This provides a more robust arrangement in the event that the mounting bracket (13) itself should fail.
