| 20120263773 | INSECT ATTRACTANTS AND THEIR USE IN METHODS OF INSECT CONTROL - The present invention utilizes a fatty acid as an attractant in a method of attracting whiteflies. By using a fatty acid as a whitefly attractant, it is possible to attract whiteflies to a desired location. The fatty acid can be used in a lure or other propagator to provide a dispersion of fatty acid in the air, the variation in the concentration of the fatty acid in the air being such that a whitefly is attracted to the lure as the source of the fatty acid. The use of a fatty acid as an attractant results in significantly higher levels of attraction, as measured by the number of whiteflies attracted to a sticky trap, as compared to the use of colour alone. | 10-18-2012 |
| 20120162002 | ELECTROMAGNETIC TOMOGRAPHY APPARATUSES AND METHODS - A tomography apparatus for producing image data representative of a dielectric and/or conductivity property distribution within an object using electromagnetic radiation having a frequency in the range 0.05 GHz to 10 GHz, the apparatus having: a processing means for producing image data representative of a dielectric and/or conductivity property distribution within an object located in the imaging domain based on measurement data from the measuring means, wherein the tomography apparatus is configured so that electromagnetic radiation incident on the receivers during a second time period t | 06-28-2012 |
| 20100298816 | MAGNETIC DELIVERY DEVICE - A method of delivering a reagent into a cell comprising positioning at least one cell, and at least one magnetically susceptible particle attached to the reagent, in the magnetic field of a Halbach array such that the magnetically susceptible particle is attracted to and contacts the cell is described together with an apparatus for delivery of the reagent. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20100184219 | Methods and Apparatuses Relating to Cell Culture Media - A method of preparing cell culture media for use in culturing cells and an apparatus for carrying out the method. The method includes providing a vessel containing cell culture media and exposing the cell culture media to a first controlled atmosphere having a predetermined O | 07-22-2010 |
| 20090123366 | Targeted Therapy - In order to target a diseased material in a subject, a monocyte, or monocyte-derived cell, such as a macrophage, which incorporates a magnetic material, such as a magnetic particle or a ferrofluid, preferably having a biocompatible coating, is proposed to be administered. A magnetic energy source may then be applied to the subject to destroy, rupture or inactivate the diseased material. Alternatively, the monocyte or monocyte derived cell may additionally include a therapeutic agent, which is thereby targeted at the diseased material. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20080286361 | Gene Delivery - The present invention relates to a method of delivery of a therapeutic agent to a target cell the method comprising targeting particles comprising the therapeutic agent to the cell using magnetic means to apply a magnetic force to said particles so as to tend to move said particles towards said magnetic means and at the same time moving said magnetic means. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080220267 | Glyceride Compounds And Uses Thereof - A glyceride compound comprising a first aliphatic group and a first substituent group bonded to said first aliphatic group. The first substituent group has the formula —O(CH | 09-11-2008 |
