Abstract: An aqueous fabric spray composition comprising: an ester oil; and free perfume.

Abstract: An ancillary laundry composition comprising an ester oil, which is a polyol comprising at least two ester linkages, free perfume and 0 to 0.85 wt. % anionic and/or cationic surfactant. A method of laundering clothes, wherein said composition is added in the wash or rinse stage. A method of preventing colour fade over (10) laundry cycles, wherein fabrics are treated with said composition during each consecutive laundry cycle. The use of said composition to provide an improved colour maintenance or reduced colour fade over consecutive laundry cycles, preferably (10), more preferably (5) laundry cycles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a detection arrangement, a detection system comprising said arrangement, and a method of processing data from said arrangement. The detector arrangement disclosed comprises at least one array of detectors, wherein the detectors are configured to detect photons emitted from an object as a result of positron annihilation due to irradiation of the object with photons of a predetermined energy. Each detector in the array is linked to or associated with one or more other detector in the array to define a region of interest (RoI). The detector arrangement comprises or is communicatively coupled to a coincidence trigger unit which is configured to register or determine a coincidence in response to receiving detection signals from two different detectors forming part of the same RoI and indicating detection of substantially back-to-back co-linear and co-incident photons in the RoI.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an analyte detection system is provided that includes a nanochannel, an electrode arrangement, and a plurality of nanoFET devices disposed in the nanochannel. A plurality of nucleic acid base detection components can be used that include a plurality of nanopores, a plurality of nanochannels, a plurality of hybridization probes, combinations thereof, and the like. According to other embodiments of the present teachings, different coded molecules are hybridized to a target DNA molecule and used to detect the presence of various sequences along the target molecule. A kit including mixtures of coded molecules is also provided. In some embodiments, devices including nanochannels, nanopores, and the like, are used for manipulating movement of DNA molecules, for example, in preparation for a DNA sequencing detection. Nanopore structures and methods of making the same are also provided as are methods of nucleic acid sequencing using the nanopore structures.
