Abstract: A storage container for contact lenses has a well for receiving a contact lens and a storage liquid and a floor. A support structure of the storage container holds the contact lens in a defined location above the floor of the well, the defined location having a lens depression area that in use permits depression of the contact lens under finger pressure, where the support structure supports a concave surface of a contact lens and acts as a fulcrum wherein the contact lens pivots about the fulcrum such a contact surface area of the contact lens deforms when pressure is applied to a portion of the contact lens in the depression area.

Abstract: A contact lens applicator film (45) for picking up a contact lens (11) and applying the contact lens to an eye comprising: a sterilised film (45) wherein at least a portion of at least one side of the film comprises an adhesive coating that is arranged for adhering to the surface of a finger such that, in use, when applying the contact lens to the eye a user can pick up the contact lens applicator film with the finger and subsequently pick up the contact lens using the finger protected by the contact lens applicator film.

Abstract: The invention provides an antibody or fragment thereof that specifically binds to human Lrg1.

Abstract: A method of delivering a cell derived factors to a subject is described, which includes implanting a matrix material into an intracutaneous location in the subject that results in increased vascularisation and subsequently efficient delivery of the required cell derived factors to the subject. The implanted matrix material can be loaded in-situ or alternatively pre-loaded and inserted into the appropriate location depending on requirements.

Abstract: A method of incorporating cells in a porous matrix, the method comprising incorporating the cells in the porous matrix by forming a gel comprising the cells in situ in the porous matrix from a gellable medium, wherein the formation of the gel from the gellable medium comprises a time period of 10 minutes or less after contact of the gellable medium with the cells, thereby incorporating the cells in the porous matrix. The incorporated cells can then be used, for example, to produce a cultured skin product or deliver specific cells to a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cleaner for use in washing an internal surface of a container, the cleaner comprising an elongate boom having a head, the head having a multiplicity of nozzles in fluid communication with a pressure chamber, and at least a portion of each nozzle being angled with respect to the longitudinal axis of the head.

Abstract: A vehicle 1 towing a trailer 4 is fitted with three video cameras 5, 6, 7 fitted to the rear of the vehicle and on each door mirror. A view from any camera can be presented to the driver on a display 11. A predicted trailer path, calculated in a computing unit 10, is also presented to the driver on the display 11 as guide lines overlaid on the camera view. The computing unit 10 is also configured to calculate a hitch angle by tracking the position of a trailer-mounted marker in the camera view.

Abstract: This invention relates to the field of molecular physiology. Specifically, this invention relates to the treatment of vasculoproliferative conditions, especially those of the eye and in the treatment of tumours that exhibit vascular proliferation. Levels of leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein (Lrg1) have been demonstrated to be increased in patients suffering from such conditions and animal models of such conditions. Antagonists of Lrg1 can be used to treat vasculoproliferative conditions.

Abstract: A transmission arrangement for an engine driven vehicle having two continuously variable transmissions serving to drive left and right hand vehicle wheels at separately variable drive ratios. Each transmission incorporates a variator of the type in which a net torque applied to the variator through its input and output is referred to a ratio control part, which may be formed as a control lever, whose position governs the transmission's drive ratio. The control parts of the variators are each operatively coupled to a driver's speed control, such that the speed control determines a mean position of the two control parts. However they are both also able to move relative to the mean position, under the influence of the torque they react. Additionally the control parts are coupled to each other such that any displacement of one control part from the mean position is accompanied by an opposite displacement of the other control part.

Abstract: The invention concerns a kinetic energy recovery system for use in a vehicle driveline. The system has a flywheel (24) serving to store energy. A continuously variable transmission (32) serves to transfer drive between the flywheel and a driveline of the vehicle at a steplessly variable CVT speed ratio. The continuously variable transmission has a variator (34) which has a rotary variator input (40) and a rotary variator output (42). The variator serves to transfer drive between its input and output at a continuously variable variator speed ratio. The continuously variable transmission further comprises a shunt gear arrangement (36) having a first rotary shunt input which is drivably coupled to the rotary variator input, a second rotary shunt input which is drivably coupled to the rotary variator output, and a shunt rotary output which is drivably coupled to the flywheel.
