  • Device for driving a light receiving element to track a light source
    Patent number: 8941043
    Abstract: A light tracking device comprising first and second support members and at least one light receiving element supported on each support member by one or more resilient flexible beams which deform upon relative translational displacement of the first and second support members. The first and second support members are arranged such that relative translational displacement of the members generates rotational displacement of the element. One or more resilient flexible beams may comprise spiral arms extending from the first to the second support members.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 20, 2013
    Date of Patent: January 27, 2015
    Assignee: The Technology Partnership Plc
    Inventors: Andy Tomlinson, John-Paul Szczepanik
  • Solar concentrator
    Patent number: 8921690
    Abstract: The light concentrator having a primary optical element which has an optical axis and a core comprising a rigid body which is co-linear with the optical axis and configured to support the primary optical element.

  • Device for driving a light receiving element to track a light source
    Publication number: 20140014825
    Abstract: A light tracking device comprising first and second support members and at least one light receiving element supported on each support member by one or more resilient flexible beams which deform upon relative translational displacement of the first and second support members. The first and second support members are arranged such that relative translational displacement of the members generates rotational displacement of the element. One or more resilient flexible beams may comprise spiral arms extending from the first to the second support members.

  • Peptide epitopes recognized by antigen specific cd4lymphocytes
    Publication number: 20040071726
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for identifying and validating epitopes that are bound to class II MHC molecules and activate CD4+ T cells involved in the pathogenesis of or protection from diseases, e.g., cancer. The invention includes peptide epitopes (including altered peptide ligands) derived from the CEA polypeptide by such methods, and methods of therapeutic use of these epitopes against diseases such as cancers.
