20110062768 | Mining Machine and Method of Mining - The invention provides a mining machine and a method of mining. The mining machine includes a body, an arm mounted on the body for angular displacement relative to the body, a mining head mounted on an end region of the arm for rotation relative to the end region of the arm, drive means for driving the mining head to rotate relative to the end region of the arm while the mining head is in abutment with a mining face, and drive means for driving the arm to displace angularly relative to the body, such that, in use, the arm can be driven to displace angularly relative to the body to sweep the mining head across a mining face while the mining head is driven to rotate and in abutment with the mining face, thereby to mine the mining face. | 03-17-2011 |

20130137598 | METHOD OF DETECTING SURROGATE MARKERS IN A SERUM SAMPLE - The invention provides a method of detecting surrogate markers for active tuberculosis in a serum sample. The surrogate markers are selected from serum mycolic acid antigen, serum anti-mycolic acid antibodies or both. The method includes the steps of combining the serum sample with a labelled monoclonal immunoglobulin antibody or fragment thereof to mycolic acids to produce a combined serum sample, the antibody or fragment thereof not substantially cross-reacting with cholesterol and the label being selected so that binding of the labelled antibody to immobilized mycolic acid antigen of mycobacterial origin produces a detectable signal and combining a blank sample with the labelled monoclonal immunoglobulin antibody or fragment thereof to mycolic acid to produce a combined blank sample. The method includes exposing both samples to immobilised mycolic acid antigen of mycobacterial origin or a synthetic analogue or analogues thereof so that the labelled immunoglobulin antibodies or fragments thereof in each sample bind to the immobilised antigen to produce detectable signals. If the surrogate markers are present, the signal produced by the blank sample will be stronger than that produced by the serum sample because of inhibition of binding of the labelled antibody in the serum sample arising from prior binding of the labelled antibody with the mycolic acid antigen in the serum sample or by competitive binding of serum anti-mycolic acid antibodies in the serum sample to the immobilised mycolic acid antigen or both. | 05-30-2013 |

20140120506 | SCENT MEMORY STRIP - A scent memory strip, which may be called a “Smemory Strip”, includes a malleable and rigid strip of material; a first scent concentrated portion at a first end of the strip; a second scent concentrated portion at a second end of the strip; wherein the strip is adapted to conform to and grip a user's columella so that the strip is retained to the columella; and the strip is adapted to provide a particular scent to the user so that the scent is first associated with a memory when the strip is first used and the scent will be second associated with the same memory at a later time. | 05-01-2014 |
