Abstract: A latching assembly for a gate comprising: a latch operative to adopt a latched condition, the latch comprising one or more members coupled together, each latch member extending along a longitudinal axis; and a lock comprising a lock portion adjustable from a retracted to a projected configuration to bring the lock portion into engagement with the or at least one of the latch members in the projected configuration so as to lock the latch in its latched condition.
Abstract: Disclosed herein are an N-terminal modified PEG-TRAIL conjugates and methods of making and using thereof. The PEG-TAIL conjugates have bioactivity that is substantially similar to that of native TRAIL coupled with an extended in vivo half-life and enhanced stability. The disclosed PEG-TRAIL conjugates exhibit significantly reduced hepatotoxicity when compared to that of non-PEGylated trimeric TRAIL. The disclosed methods of making the PEG-TRAIL conjugates provide a homogeneous, highly pure, form of N-terminal modified PEG-TRAIL. Compared to native TRAIL, the PEG-TRAIL conjugates exhibits high solubility and solution stability. The PEG-TRAIL conjugates are useful in preventing and treating proliferative or autoimmune diseases.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a radiation-shielding material that has a high radiation-shielding capability and can be easily coated, molded and sheeted. Metals or the like having a radiation-shielding capability are blended with an elastomer precursor in a high concentration thereby providing a radiation-shielding material that has a higher radiation-shielding capability than ever before and can be easily coated, molded and sheeted in any desired configuration.
Abstract: A hinge assembly includes a toggle type hinge mechanism (10) with a linear damper (13) arranged with its longitudinal axis parallel to the axis of movement of the hinge mechanism. First and second wings (19, 30) operate the damper. First and second striker plates and an arm assembly (20, 32, 55) activate the first and second wings in response to movement of the hinge mechanism.

Abstract: A magnetic self-latching device for a gate has a main body with handles on either side for operation or has an arrangement to be remotely actuated. A latching body has a high strength magnet usually provided at the bottom of a cavity which defines a latching shoulder. The latching body is adapted to be fixed to a gate post. The main body, with its housing, can be mounted on the gate frame and incorporates a latch pin which, in the door-closed position, is displaced by magnetic attraction to an extended latching position and against the biasing of a return spring. The gate cannot be opened until actuation of the mechanism occurs, for example by rotating a handle to retract the pin against the magnetic force; the gate can then be swung open. When the handle is released, the biasing spring retains the latch pin in a retracted position.
Abstract: A latch has a displaceable latching element in a housing for engagement with a separate striker arm to be latched behind an engagement shoulder of the latching element. The housing mounts a cylinder lock to receive a key from the front. A rotor is mounted on the rear of cylinder lock and rotation of the key rotation the rotor to drive a locking element to engage and lock the latching element. The rotor may also be axial displaceable against spring biasing responsive to a rear unit pushing element whereby unlocking from a rear cylinder lock may rotate the rotor to unlock and pushing causes the latching element to be displaced against its biasing to release the striker arm. Embodiments include a gravity biased and manually opened latch and a spring biased self-locking embodiment.

Abstract: A damped hinge assembly is provided that comprises a hinge unit (10) and a damping unit (14). A mechanism is provided for connecting the two units together for purposes of transportation and handling, as well as for ease of installation. The connecting mechanism allows the units to move relative to one another between a transit state, which allows access for installation purposes, and a working position in which the damping unit is operative to provide resistance to closing movement of a door.

Abstract: Methods for embedding photocatalytic titanium dioxide in asphalt surfaces to reduce pollutants via photocatalytic reactions include applying an amount of an asphalt surface treatment compound to an upper surface of the asphalt surface, the asphalt surface treatment compound including a mixture of a liquid carrier compound with a titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalyst.
Abstract: A damper assembly is provided with a cylinder (10) having a piston assembly (14) mounted for reciprocal movement therein. The piston assembly (14) divides the cylinder (10) into separate chambers with a restricted flow path therebetween for passage of damping fluid contained within the cylinder. The restricted flow path is defined between elements whose shape and/or relative position is designed to vary with temperature.
