| 20110248227 | PROTECTION FOR A BUCKLING DETECTION HEAD - The buckling detection head is completely encapsulated in an encapsulating material, thus making it possible to protect the emitting and receiving surfaces of the cells for emitting and receiving light signals. This arrangement provides a slot in which the absolutely smooth cable passes, making it easier to clean the head and protect the cells. Other advantages of this arrangement are also described. | 10-13-2011 |

| 20100236018 | CLEANING APPLIANCE HAVING MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS - A cleaning appliance is capable of performing two or more cleaning functions. The cleaning appliance may include a vacuum cleaner and a steam cleaner such that a user can vacuum a floor prior to steam cleaning the floor. Various manual switching arrangements may be used as part of controlling the cleaning appliance. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20110073135 | STEAM APPLIANCE - A steam appliance includes a steam applicator which is connectable to the steam appliance, but the steam applicator is permitted to rotate without loosening or disengaging the connection of the steam applicator to the steam appliance. Embodiments may be particularly suitable for use with a portable, handheld steam appliance that employs steam pocket technology. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20090004181 | Method for Modulating Appetite - The present invention provides a method of modulating appetite and/or body weight in a subject, said method comprising administering to said subject an effective amount of a MIC-1 modulating agent, wherein said agent increases or decreases the amount of MIC-1 present in said subject, or inhibits or enhances the biological activity of present in said subject. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20100266707 | METHOD OF TREATING CACHEXIA WITH THE REMOVAL OR INACTIVATION OF MACROPHAGE INHIBITORY CYTOKINE-1 - A method of treating cachexia is disclosed involving the removal or inactivation of macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1) present in the blood, plasma or serum of a cachexia subject. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of providing a suitable substrate for binding MIC-1 (e.g. a substrate provided with a MIC-1 binding molecule), treating blood, plasma or serum removed from a subject by contacting the blood, plasma or serum ex vivo with the substrate such that MIC-1 present in the blood, plasma or serum is bound to the substrate, separating the treated blood, plasma or serum from the substrate, and thereafter returning the treated blood, plasma or serum to the subject. Also disclosed, is a method of diagnosing or prognosing cachexia in a subject, said method comprising determining the amount of MIC-1 present in the subject. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100278843 | AGENTS AND METHODS FOR MODULATING MACROPHAGE INHIBITORY CYTOKINE (MIC-1) ACTIVITY - The invention relates to a method and novel types of agents for modulating appetite and/or body weight in a subject. Moreover, the invention relates to a method of screening for agents which interact and modulate the activity of the receptor complex for macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1). | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110039284 | METHODS OF PROGNOSIS - The invention relates to the field of medical prognostics. In particular, the invention relates to methods for predicting prostate cancer progression and overall survival prognosis in a subject involving the detection of elevated amounts of macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1) in a test body sample such as serum. | 02-17-2011 |

| 20090291889 | Diagnostic assay and method of treatment for miscarriage risk or premature birth involving macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1) - Methods for diagnosing risk of miscarriage and/or premature birth, foetal abnormalities, cancer (e.g. prostate cancer) and inflammatory disease (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis) are disclosed which involve determining abnormal levels of macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1) in a body sample or, otherwise, determining the presence of a MIC-1 variant protein. Also disclosed are methods for reducing the risk of miscarriage and/or premature birth in pregnant subjects, and methods for treatment of inflammatory disease and/or cancer. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20110123454 | Method for modulating appetite - The present invention provides a method of modulating appetite and/or body weight in a subject, said method comprising administering to said subject an effective amount of a MIC-1-modulating agent, wherein said agent increases or decreases the amount of MIC-1 present in said subject, or inhibits or enhances the biological activity of MIC-1 present in said subject. | 05-26-2011 |
