Abstract: A chessboard defines a first longitudinal edge, a second longitudinal edge, a lateral axis of symmetry bisecting the chessboard into two lateral halves, and a top surface extending between the longitudinal edges, the top surface defining a plurality of chessboard squares. The plurality of chessboard squares defines a plurality of ranks, each rank extending as a single row of chessboard squares from the first longitudinal edge to the second longitudinal edge. Ranks adjacent to the lateral axis of symmetry define two central ranks that together comprise a battle zone. Chessboard squares located outside of the battle zone define a first color scheme in which the chessboard squares located outside the battle zone alternate between a first color and a second color different from the first color. Chessboard squares in the plurality of chessboard squares located within the battle zone define a second color scheme differing from the first color scheme.

Abstract: A lateral flow test apparatus comprising a housing and a test strip located within the housing. The apparatus further comprises a capillary tube having first and second ends, the first end configured to receive a fluid sample to be tested, and the second opposed end, the housing and the test strip defining an air gap between said second end and a fluid sample receiving region of said test strip, and a user actuable mechanism configured to move said receiving region across said air gap and into contact with said second end, whereby, in use, a sample fluid within said capillary tube is drawn from the capillary tube into said receiving region.

Abstract: Disclosed is an auto-injection apparatus for receiving a syringe, including: an outer casing enclosing a drive assembly and a syringe carrier configured to hold a barrel of the syringe, the syringe carrier being forward of the drive assembly and having stowed and delivery positions; an interlock extending between the syringe carrier and a syringe carrier housing at least partially surrounding the syringe carrier, the interlock preventing forward motion of the syringe carrier under the influence of an insertion actuator whilst in the stowed position. The drive assembly includes the insertion actuator for inserting a needle of the syringe into an injection site and a delivery actuator for driving a plunger into a barrel of the syringe which contains a substance for injection. The syringe carrier includes an interlock release mechanism which is configured to release the interlock such that the insertion actuator drives the syringe carrier forward.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for identifying, selecting and/or producing a Disease resistant soybean plant or germplasm using genes derived from Glycine canescens, Glycine clandestina, Glycine tomentella. A soybean plant or germplasm that has been identified, selected and/or produced by any of the methods of the present invention is also provided. Disease resistant soybean seeds, plants and germplasms are also provided.

Abstract: Disclosed is an injection device for delivering a medicament from a syringe contained within a housing, the device being configured to move the syringe through the housing to cause insertion of a needle of the syringe into a user's skin and move a syringe bung through a syringe body, delivering medicament through the needle. The device includes: a plunger engaging the bung; a sleeve around the plunger; an insertion spring biasing the sleeve to the housing; and a delivery spring biasing the plunger to the sleeve. A release mechanism releases the sleeve from the housing to commence insertion and release the plunger from the sleeve, following insertion, delivering medicament. A velocity regulator regulates the plunger upon release and disengages during delivery, and includes a screw thread associated with the sleeve or plunger and one or more thread engaging members formed on the other of the sleeve and the plunger.
