Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110228450Removable switchboard transformer - A removable transformer system is described. The system comprises a switchboard structure, a removable transformer moveable into and out of the switchboard structure, and a transformer mounting and supporting assembly for supporting the removable transformer. During operation of the system, the removable transformer is horizontally displaceable along the supporting.09-22-2011

20080226766Dog Periodontitis - A method of determining susceptibility to periodontitis in a Shih Tzu dog, Yorkshire Terrier dog or a dog of a breed that is genetically related to the Shih Tzu or Yorkshire Terrier breed, comprises: a) typing the nucleotide present in the genome of the dog at or at a position equivalent to each of the following: position 201 of SEQ ID NO: 2 (SNP_02), or a position that is in linkage disequilibrium with this position,—position 201 of SEQ ID NO: 4 (SNP_04), or a position that is in linkage disequilibrium with this position, and position 201 of SEQ ID NO: 9 (SNPJ39), or a position that is in linkage disequilibrium with this position, and b) thereby determining whether the dog is susceptible to periodontitis.09-18-2008
20100184640DOG DIABETES - A method a method for diagnosing susceptibility to diabetes in a non-human animal, the method comprising: a) identifying whether or not a polymorphism as defined in Table 4 or a polymorphism which is in linkage disequilibrium with such a polymorphism is present in the genome of the animal; and b) thereby diagnosing whether the animal is susceptible to diabetes, wherein optionally the said identifying is carried out on a sample from the animal.07-22-2010
20100197808METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING MHC ALLELES IN DOGS - A method for identifying one or more MHC alleles present in a dog, the method comprising: (a) determining the nucleotide present at the or each polymorphic position specified for the one or more MHC alleles in any one of Tables 4 to 6 or determining the nucleotide(s) present at a polymorphic position(s) in linkage disequilibrium with one or more polymorphic positions specified in Tables 4 to 6; and (b) identifying therefrom the presence or absence of one or more MHC alleles in the dog. Based on the comparison between alleles, it was possible to specify a minimum number of SMP positions that need to be determined in order to identify a particular allele (Table 4 to 6).08-05-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090308324DIABETES TESTS - A method for diagnosing susceptibility to diabetes in a dog, the method comprising: (a) (i) detecting in a sample from the dog the presence or absence of a genotype in any one of the following immune system genes: CTLA-4, IGF-2, IL-1α, IL-4, IL-6, IL-1O, IL-12β, IFNγ, PTPN3, PTPN15, PTPN22, TNF, or RANTES; and/or (ii) determining in a sample from the dog whether a genotype identified in Table 1 or 3A, or a genotype in linkage disequilibrium with said genotype identified in Table 1 or 3 A, is present in an insulin or IGF gene of the dog; and/or (iii) determining in a sample from the dog whether a genotype identified in Table 2 or 3B, or a genotype in linkage disequilibrium with said genotype identified in Table 2 or 3B, is absent in an insulin or IGF gene of the dog; and (b) thereby diagnosing whether the dog is susceptible to diabetes.12-17-2009

Neale Fretwell, Leics GB

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090028843IgA allelic variants - The invention relates to a method for determining susceptibility to an IgA-related disorder in an animal, the method comprising: a) identifying the or each IgA allelic variant present in a sample from the animal; and b) thereby determining whether the animal is susceptible to an IgA-related disorder.01-29-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120099990TORQUE PIN FOR ADJUSTING POSITION OF BLADE RING RELATIVE TO ROTOR IN A GAS TURBINE ENGINE - A method is provided for adjusting a position of a blade ring relative to a rotor in a gas turbine engine. An outer casing surrounds the blade ring and the blade ring surrounds the rotor. The method comprises: determining an amount of vertical movement needed to reposition the blade ring relative to the rotor so that the blade ring is at a desired position relative to the rotor; providing at least one torque pin assembly comprising a torque pin and a variable thickness defining structure; determining a change in the thickness of the variable thickness defining structure so as to effect the necessary vertical movement of the blade ring; changing the thickness of the variable thickness defining structure; and coupling the at least one torque pin assembly to the outer casing such that at least one torque pin engages the blade ring.04-26-2012
