Title: Signal amplification microspheres
Inventor: MAK WING CHEUNG
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 2009-06-10
Abstract: Microspheres for use in detecting one or more target molecules comprise protein signal precursor molecules, or a carrier protein bonded to signal precursor molecules, wherein the proteins have inter-molecular bonds between them. The microsphere typically comprises albumin, while the signal precursor may be a fluorophore, luminophore, chromophore, enzyme substrate or redox active substance; an example is fluorescein diacetate. Preferably, the microsphere also comprises an affinity molecule such as an antibody, avidin or a nucleic acid probe. A method of making microspheres comprises mixing protein molecules with a matrix former (such as calcium carbonate) in solution; adding a small molecule redox reagent (eg DTT) to the mixture; removing the small molecule redox reagent; adding a matrix removal reagent such as EDTA, and removing the matrix to leave microspheres of protein molecules. The microspheres may be used to detect target molecules, in particular using a method in which the signal is amplified by cycles of binding of microspheres 20' to an immobilised target molecule 30, disintegrating the microspheres to release secondary analytes 40', capturing the signal analytes 40', and binding of further microspheres 20" to the secondary analyte 40'.

Title: Insulated can holder and method of manufacture
Inventor: JONES BRIAN
IPC: B65D3/04
Filed: 2009-10-28
Abstract: An insulated vessel holder is disclosed that is disposable, recyclable and printable The insulated vessel holder is formed form a blank 10 of insulated, paper based material comprising a single piece of material having a central section 12 and two wings 14, 16, although there may be three or more wings 14, 16. Each wing 14, 16 is connected to opposed sides of the central section at fold lines 14f and 16f respectively. The blank 10 is folded to bring the wings into contact in at least two spaced locations. A sleeve is formed by securing the wings to each other at each spaced contact location. The sleeve 22 is sized to receive a vessel. The sleeve 22 is closed at one end by the central section 12. Consequently, a straight-sided vessel such as a bottle can be inserted into the sleeve 22 without the risk of the bottle sliding through the sleeve 22. The paper based material includes air-gap forming means to create air gaps between a drinker's hand and bottle. The vessel holder 20 therefore provides an insulated holder that allows a drinker to hold a bottle in a convenient manner. In use, the air gaps insulate the drinker's hand from the bottle therefore providing a more enjoyable drinking experience both because the users hand is insulated from the coldness of the bottle and also because the beverage stays cold longer due to being insulated from the users hand and other environmental heat sources. The air gaps may be formed via corrugations, embossing, or enclosing air bubbles in the paper based material.

Abstract: 527,161. Snap-action switches. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd. April 1, 1939, No. 10231. Convention date, April 1, 1938. [Class 38 (v)] In a limit switch, movement of a machine member 59, Fig. 7, operates a double-armed cam member 61 with a snapaction from the full to the dotted line position, or vice versa, the member 61 being connected through a dead-centre and transmission spring mechanism to a contact arm which is held in either of its two positions by a permanent magnet. The member 61 is fixed to a shaft 46 which carries a member 49 influenced by the dead-centre spring 57. As the member 49 is rotated in a clockwise direction an arm 49<1> on it moves into engagement with the right hand end of the spiral transmission spring 58, the left hand end of which then bears with increasing tension against a lug 52 on a two-armed member 29, 30, the arm 30 of which is held magnetically to a permanent magnet 26. With further rotation the member 49 passes its dead centre position and one of its two arms 50, 51 positively engages the lug 52 to force it away from the magnet. This action is a push rather than a blow since the springs 57, 58 here act in opposition. The member 29, 30, carrying with it the contact member, not shown, now moves rapidly into its other position where the arm 29 is held by the magnet 26. Specification 423,897, (Group II], is referred to.
