Abstract: The present invention relates to a patient board suitable for supporting a patient during medical imaging, radiotherapy and/or surgery. The board comprises a composite comprising a natural or naturally-derived fibre and a thermoset matrix.

Abstract: A cellular radio network system and method for communicating with at least one vehicle-based mobile gateway terminal is provided. The at least one mobile gateway terminal is configured to communicate a network service for one or more user mobile terminals on-board the vehicle. A plurality of network cells provide cellular radio network coverage along a route of the vehicle. Each network cell is dedicated for communication with the at least one vehicle-based mobile gateway terminal so as to allow communication between the at least one vehicle-based mobile gateway terminal and a core network of the cellular radio network.

Abstract: Methods of using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to detect the interaction of target substances with probes present at locations of a microarray are disclosed, and in particular methods of detecting the interaction of target substances present in fluids with an array comprising one or more probes present or locatable, e.g. in the case of a bead array, on a substrate at one or more locations. The methods are based on detecting the changes in the NMR signal arising from spin-carrying molecules present in a fluid in the vicinity of the probes that occur when target substances interact with probes in the array.
