Abstract: A side window mount assembly is provided for use in handling windscreens, which includes a vehicle anchor device for securing to a vehicle side window, a platform mechanically secured to the vehicle anchor device, a raising and lowering index hub supported by the platform, a connecting arm extending from the raising and lowering index hub, and a mount structure operably coupled to the connecting arm. The mount structure is configured to engage a support arm of a windscreen anchor assembly. The raising and lower index hub controls index rotation of the connecting arm that moves the mount structure between a dropped down and a raised-up position in an index-wise manner between a series of successively rotationally spaced positions of the raising and lowering index hub.

Abstract: Apparatus for use in handling windscreens for example for installation in a vehicle, includes a windscreen anchor assembly comprising a windscreen anchor device and a support arm extending away from the windscreen anchor device. A mount assembly is provided for supporting the windscreen anchor assembly. The mount assembly includes a mount structure for engaging with the support arm such that the support arm can slide bodily in its longitudinal direction with respect to the mount structure.

Abstract: A system for detecting damage to a glass surface particularly vehicle glazing panels such as vehicle windscreens. The system uses a sensor unit disposed proximate the surface and a processor in communication with the sensor unit. The processor is configured to analyse data received from the sensor unit in order to determine the integrity of the surface and a communication unit is configured to output a signal in response to the processor determining that the surface has been damaged. For vehicle glass the system is preferably integrated into the vehicle management and control systems such that the system is active when the vehicle is active or moving. The management and or control system may monitor for instances or situations when changes, such as above threshold changes, occur in order to produce an output warning signal.

Abstract: A modified Extracellular Vesicle (EV), preferably an exosome, comprising an albumin protein or fragment (e.g., an albumin domain) present on the surface of the EV membrane, preferably as part of a fusion protein (e.g., a transmembrane protein). The EV exhibits an improved circulating half-life, stability and shelf-life (both formulation and storage). Methods of making said EVs, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and their use.

Abstract: A bulk loader system is disclosed that may include a conveyor unit in connection with a fuel-powered engine powering a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor may be used to operate the conveyor unit. The system may be configured to function while being mounted on a bed of a truck or be operated as a stand-alone unit. The unit may be sized such that an operator can stand on the deck of the truck along with the unit. The fuel-hydraulic powered motor can enable the conveyor unit to operate at variable speeds. The conveyor unit can be adjustable to facilitate controlling the direction of the material being transported via the conveyor. Some embodiments can include operating the hydraulics of the motor from the Power Take-Off (“PTO”) of the truck. Some embodiments can facilitate operation of the system in a hot or other harsh environment.

Abstract: Arrays for genome-wide analysis of methylation are disclosed. In a preferred aspect arrays comprising a plurality of probes complementary to a plurality of identified CpG islands in the human, mouse and rat genome are disclosed. The arrays may be used to detect methylation within CpG islands in samples from human, mouse and rat genomes.

Abstract: Methods and systems for the determination of a collection of relevant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) probe compatible insertion/deletion probes across a genome to determine probes that can detect a variety of insertions and deletions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a sealing element for an air-riding seal system. The seal has a mounting portion for mounting on a rotor and a sealing portion having a sealing face for facing a second sealing element. A bridging portion is provided extending radially between the mounting and sealing portions. The bridging portion allows axial displacement between the mounting portion and sealing portion and/or angular variation of the sealing face relative to the mounting portion and may be a pliable/flexible membrane structure allowing said axial displacement/angular variation by flexing.
