  • Patent number: 6550752
    Abstract: A hydraulically damped mounting device has a first anchor part in the form of a clip and a second anchor part in the form of a boss connected to the cup by a deformable wall. The deformable wall bounds a working chamber for hydraulic fluid which is connected to a compensation chamber by a passageway. A strap is provided extending around the mounting device which is fixed to either or both of the anchor parts. The fixing may be via a clip.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 19, 2001
    Date of Patent: April 22, 2003
    Assignee: Avon Vibration Management Systems Limited

  • Patent number: 5693465
    Abstract: The estrogen-regulated gene sequence pLIV1 has been discovered and isolated, and found to be significantly associated with the metastatic spread of breast cancer cells to the regional lymph nodes. Methods are therefore provided for determining the risk of metastasis of a female breast tumour, as well as for predicting the responsiveness to endocrine treatment of a female breast tumour, which involve determining whether a tissue sample from a tumour expresses a polypeptide containing the pLIV1 gene sequence, or a substantial portion thereof.

  • Patent number: 5578922
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of proton-electron double-resonance magnetic resonance imaging in which a sample containing paramagnetic material is subjected to a polarizing magnetic field during a polarization period, a subsequent evolution period and thereafter a detection period, and the sample is subjected during the evolution period to radio-frequency radiation, at a frequency appropriate to the polarizing magnetic field then appertaining, so as to excite EPR resonance in the paramagnetic material, wherein during the detection period the sample is subjected to a series of NMR interrogating signals to derive therefrom a corresponding series of NMR image signals for combination in a complete NMR image.
