Patent number: 10072643Abstract: A diaphragm pump mechanism is powered by steam generated by an internal heater coil heating the pumped water, which moves the diaphragm and an attached piston to pump water through the pump. The heater coil is turned on-and-off using a switch that is timed to the movement of the pump. The water is pumped through a series of one-way rubber valves and reed valves to prevent a back flow of water. The pressure generated by the steam is released when a reed valve located on the diaphragm makes contact with a pin located on the body of the pump, opening the reed valve and allowing the steam to travel through and to condense. The piston and diaphragm are returned to the starting position when the steam pressure is released by a spring attached to the pump shaft. On the return stroke an accumulator refills the diaphragm chamber with water.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2016Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Inventors: Jennifer Williams, Craig Duda

Publication number: 20120251446Abstract: Bioconjugates for use in imaging are disclosed include a linker sequence fused to a polypeptide capable of binding a target in a biological system. The linker sequence is designed so that it is capable of being radiolabelled, e.g. with a complex comprising a radionuclide, via a free cysteine residue and the polyhistidine sequence in the label that are both capable of simultaneously binding to a complex comprising the radionuclide. These interactions can improve significantly the rate and efficiency of radiolabelling compared to either protein with the His-tag or the free cysteine alone. Optionally, the free cysteine residue provides a site which can be covalently bonded to a moiety such as a second label, in a site-specific manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2010Publication date: October 4, 2012Applicant: KING'S COLLEGE LONDONInventors: Richard Tavare, Gregory Mullen, Philip Blower, Rafael Torres Martin de Rosales, Jennifer Williams
