Abstract: A floating filtering apparatus is used to separate solid material in a slurry by size, so that the filtered slurry and/or solid material that has been separated from the slurry can be further processed. The floating filtering apparatus comprises a filtering assembly, a first submergible tank, a first pump, and a receptacle for secondary material. The floating filtering system is contained in or supported by a vessel that floats on water and can move and/or be moved about on the surface of the water.

Abstract: We provide an imaging system for use in a fluoroscopy procedure carried out on a subject, the imaging system being configured to receive images of a portion of the subject from an image acquisition device, the imaging system comprising an interface module for displaying images received from the image acquisition device to a user, and an optimisation module for determining, based on an image received from the image acquisition device, one or more properties of the image, wherein the optimisation module is configured to output a control routine.

Abstract: The invention provides compositions (e.g., peptide compositions) useful for the detection of antibodies that bind to Borrelia antigens. The peptide compositions comprise polypeptide sequences comprising variants in the IR6 domain of the Borrelia VlsE protein. The invention also provides devices, methods, and kits comprising such peptide compositions and useful for the detection of antibodies that bind to Borrelia antigens and the diagnosis of Lyme disease.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a, preferably single-phase, heat transfer composition, comprising at least one aromatic synthetic dielectric fluid chosen from alkylbenzenes, alkyldiphenylethanes, alkylnaphthalenes, methylpolyarylmethanes, and mixtures thereof, for regulating the temperature of a battery. The present invention also relates to a battery comprising such a heat transfer composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use, for the retrofilling of a transformer, of at least one dielectric fluid of general formula (1): (A?X)n?B??(1) in which A and B, which are identical or different, represent, independently of each other, an optionally substituted aromatic ring, X represents a spacer group and n represents 0, 1, 2 or 3. The invention also relates to a transformer containing at least one dielectric fluid of general formula (1) and an amount of PCBs of less than 20%.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use, for increasing the power of a transformer, of at least one dielectric fluid of general formula (1): (A-X)n-B??(1) in which A and B, which are identical or different, represent, independently of each other, an optionally substituted aromatic ring, X represents a spacer group and n represents 0, 1, 2 or 3. The invention also relates to a transformer containing at least one dielectric fluid of general formula (1).

Abstract: The present invention provides methods, devices, compositions (e.g., capture complexes), and kits useful for enhancing the detection of antibodies in a test sample. The methods, devices, and compositions utilize detectable Fc-binding molecules such as Protein A, Protein G, and/or an Fc-specific antibody to amplify the signal of a detected antibody in immunoassays, such as lateral flow assays.

Abstract: According to certain aspects, the present embodiments are directed generally to data communication systems, and more particularly to generating multi-phase clocks in a SerDes system. Embodiments provide SerDes components and methods that are capable of generating multiple different sampling frequencies for parallelizing serial data from a single high speed clock. These and other embodiments can be implemented with circuits that are relatively small and low-power as compared to conventional approaches.
