Patent number: 8324371Abstract: Molecules are provided for inducing or facilitating exon skipping in forming spliced mRNA products from pre-mRNA molecules in cells. The molecules may be provided directly as oligonucleotides or expression products of vectors that are administered to a subject. High rates of skipping can be achieved. High rates of skipping reduce the severity of a disease like Duchene Muscular Dystrophy so that the disease is more like Becker Muscular Dystrophy. This is a severe reduction in symptom severity and mortality.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2011Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, University of LondonInventors: Linda Popplewell, Ian Graham, John George Dickson

Patent number: 7719989Abstract: A routing method for an ad hoc network is disclosed, the network comprising two or more nodes (A, B, C, D, E, F), and the method comprising: sending a message from a start node (A) to a finish node (F) via one or more intermediate nodes (B, C, D, E); each of the start node (A) and intermediate nodes (B, C, D, E) receiving an acknowledgement signal (AckB, AckC, AckD, AckE, AckF) from a one-hop neighboring node when the one-hop neighboring node receives the message from the start node (A;F) or intermediate nodes (B, C, D, E) and, in the case of the one-hop neighboring node not being the finish node (F), the start node and intermediate nodes receiving an acknowledgement signal (AckC, AckD, AckE, AckF) from a two-hop neighboring node when the two-hop neighboring node receives the message from the one-hop neighboring node.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2004Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: Royal Holloway and Bedford New CollegeInventor: Po-Wah Yau

Patent number: 7698554Abstract: A broadcast control method includes validating a time and location of an end user device by verifying the identity and location of a device on the intermediary network; sending a nonce from a intermediary network to an end user device at a first time; sending the nonce from the end user to the network at a second time; sending an encrypted request for content from the network to a broadcast system; decrypting the request to verify the identities of the devices and the time and location data; and sending content from the broadcast system to the end user device if the identities are verified and the time interval between the first and second times is less than the predetermined time interval.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2005Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Royal Holloway and Bedford New CollegeInventors: Allan Tomlinson, Alexander William Dent

Publication number: 20090175911Abstract: The present invention is based on a Bacillus the spores and vegetative cells forms of which are a different colour because of differential presence of at least one carotenoid in the spore and vegetative cell forms of the Bacillus. The Bacillus may therefore be used in detection methods and biosensors. The Bacillus may also be used a colourant and a dye and in the generation of foods, food supplements, probiotic compositions, dyes, cosmetic, pharmaceuticals and vaccines. The Bacillus may also be used for the production of carotenoids, precursors thereof and downstream derivatives.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2006Publication date: July 9, 2009Applicant: ROYAL HOLLOWAY AND BEDFORD NEW COLLEGEInventors: Simon Cutting, Paul Fraser

Patent number: 6357912Abstract: A current sensing noise thermometer is described, in which a low noise amplifier is used to measure the noise current in a sensor resistor and the sensor resistor is connected in series with a superconducting coil, or a coil assembly including at least one superconductor. The superconductor of the coil assembly is preferably positioned inside the coil, and the superconducting transition temperature of the superconductor is used to calibrate the thermometer. Preferably, the sensor resistor is grounded to enable particularly low temperatures to be achieved.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1999Date of Patent: March 19, 2002Assignee: Royal Holloway & Bedford New CollegeInventor: Junyun Li
