20120157737 | REACTOR FOR CARRYING OUT AN AUTOTHERMAL GAS-PHASE DEHYDROGENATION - A reactor includes an essentially horizontal cylinder for carrying out an autothermal gas-phase dehydrogenation of a hydrocarbon-comprising gas stream using an oxygen-comprising gas stream to give a reaction gas mixture over a heterogeneous catalyst configured as monolith. The interior of the reactor is divided by a detachable, cylindrical or prismatic housing, which is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the reactor and is gastight in the circumferential direction, into an inner region having one or more catalytically active zones, each having a packing composed of monoliths stacked on top of one another, next to one another and behind one another and before each catalytically active zone in each case a mixing zone having solid internals are provided and into an outer region, which is supplied with an inert gas, arranged coaxially to the inner region. A heat exchanger is connected to the housing at one end of the reactor. | 06-21-2012 |

20110209542 | FLOW SENSORS - A flow sensor and fastener assembly, is disclosed which includes at least the following modules: a sensor housing and a fastener element; wherein: the sensor housing is adapted to receive a flow-based sensor, e.g. a MEMS airflow sensor; the sensor housing includes a connection for transmitting sensing signals from a fitted flow-based sensor; the fastener element includes a head and a shank, at least part of the shank being externally threaded; the fastener element includes a bore extending through the whole length of the fastener element; and the bore is shaped at the head end of the fastener element to provide a sensor housing receiving part. | 09-01-2011 |
20150260208 | HYBRID JOINT MANUFACTURING - A method for forming a joint between a fibre reinforced composite component and a metallic component and a joint are provided. The metallic component and the composite component each define a joint surface for mating with the joint surface of the other to join the two components together and the composite component defines a free surface opposed to the joint surface thereof. The joint surface of the metallic component defines an array of pins extending therefrom with each pin defining a pin head at an end distal from the joint surface. The method includes the steps of pressing together the joint surfaces of the two components whereby to cause the array of pins to penetrate through the fibre reinforcing material, and modifying the effective cross sectional shape of the pin heads whereby to increase the constraint applied to the composite component against peeling of the composite component from the joint surface of the metallic component. | 09-17-2015 |
20150298241 | HYBRID JOINT PROJECTIONS - The invention relates to the manufacture of hybrid joints more particularly to the manufacture of joints between parts made of differing materials and most particularly to the manufacture of a metallic component comprising a plurality of preformed projections which penetrate composite fabric within a composite part. Particularly there is a method of forming an array of projections on a surface of a metallic component, the method including the steps of bringing at least one preformed projection into at least close proximity to the surface of the component and causing a portion of the projection and a portion of the component in the region of an intersection thereof to at least partially melt, and causing them to be joined together. | 10-22-2015 |

20100216250 | Methods for Predicting Trisomy 21 in a Fetus - The present invention relates to biomarkers in maternal serum samples and methods for predicting whether a fetus has Trisomy 21 during the first trimester of pregnancy based on the differential expression of a combination, or subcombination, of the same. | 08-26-2010 |
20110151568 | Assay for Monitoring Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) Variants by Tandem Mass Spectrometry - Methods are described for monitoring the amounts of PTH variants in a biological sample by digesting the sample to produce surrogate peptides specific to the targeted PTH variants, and detecting and quantifying the surrogate peptides by selective reaction monitoring (SRM) mass spectrometry, using a set of precursor-to-product ion transitions optimized for sensitivity and selectivity. The PTH variants, or a portion thereof, may be concentrated in the sample by means of immunoaffinity capture or other suitable technique. The mass spectrometric method described herein enables the concurrent measurement of peptides representative of a plurality of targeted PTH variants in a single assay. | 06-23-2011 |
20120064558 | Assays for Differentiating between Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke in a Human Patient - Methods are disclosed for rapidly and reliably differentiating between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke events in a human patient. The methods include obtaining a biological sample, such as blood serum, and analyzing the sample or a derivative thereof by mass spectrometry to measure the amount of one or more targeted proteins differentially present and ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients. The analysis may include proteolytic digestion of the biological sample and selective reaction monitoring (SRM) tandem mass spectrometry of the digested sample to determine the amounts of surrogate peptides corresponding to the targeted proteins. | 03-15-2012 |
