It also has particular application to airborne electromagnetic surveying operating in the same frequency band because the sensor vibrations that result in noise created by the modulation of the sensor coupling with the earth's magnetic field are suppressed. Furthermore, the invention can be constructed from resistive composite materials and non-magnetic metals, so it can be operated without producing significant modification to the ambient electromagnetic field being measured. | 08-08-2013 |

The present invention is useful in electromagnetic measurements, where the magnetic field of a controlled source transmitter must be annulled at a magnetic field sensor. It is particularly useful for cases where the magnetic sensor may move relative to the transmitter, such as in certain airborne electromagnetic measurements. | 09-25-2014 |

20140249051 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ABO ANTIBODY DETECTION AND CHARACTERIZATION - The present application discloses a system and method for ABO antibody detection and characterization that can provide an alternative means for assessment and management of ABO-incompatible and ABO-compatible transplants. The method and system comprises determining an anti-ABO blood group antigen subtype antibody profile of a subject using a biological sample from the subject. The method and system can be used to evaluate the suitability of a donor blood or tissue product for a recipient subject by comparing the determined anti-ABO antigen subtype antibody profile of the recipient subject with the ABO histo-blood group or ABO histo-blood subgroup of a donor blood or tissue product. In order to define the subject's ABO histo-blood subgroup, the determined antibody profile is compared to known ABO histo-blood group antigen subtype profiles and/or known anti-ABO antigen subtype antibody profiles for ABO histo-blood subgroups to identify the ABO histo-blood subgroup of the subject. Profiles can be established by applying a sample to an array of surface-bound ABO antigens selected from the group of type I to type VI antigens of each blood group A, B or H. | 09-04-2014 |

The dolly can also comprise an arm that is secured to either end of the dragster and that raises or lowers either end of the dragster. The dolly can also comprise wheels secured to front and rear axles of the dolly to allow for ease in transportation of the device. | 12-12-2013 |

20140374410 | Inductor for Single-Shot Induction Heating of Complex Workpieces - A single-shot inductor is provided to induction heat treat a complex workpiece that has an at least partially cylindrical component with its central axis coincident with the central axis of a circular component and connected at one end to the circular component with a diameter larger than the diameter of the at least partially cylindrical component. The single-shot inductor has a single crossover inductor section connected to the first ends of two longitudinal leg inductor sections with the second ends of the two longitudinal leg inductor sections connected to a collar inductor section that surrounds the entire circumference of the at least partially cylindrical component when the complex workpiece is loaded in the single-shot one-turn inductor for an induction heating application. Alternatively the single-shot inductor may have two collar inductor sections interconnected between two longitudinal leg inductor sections where one of the leg sections can accept a supply of alternating current. | 12-25-2014 |
