Abstract: The invention is directed to a suppository based vaccine delivery system for immunizing against urogenital and anorectally transmitted infectious disease in humans and animals and a method for treating the same. More particularly, this invention is directed to a suppository based vaccine delivery system for the prophylaxis against or treatment of urogenital or anorectal transmitted infectious diseases, such as from viral or microbial pathogens.

Abstract: Sampling Means A sampling means for obtaining an organic sample (85) from an animal. The sampling means includes a punch means (18) adapted to be securable in use with a first part (70) of an applicator (100). A housing means (8) is adapted in use to be accommodated, or provided, by a second part (2) of the applicator (100). Operation of the applicator (100) in use being adapted to move said punch means (18) through a required part (80) of an animal to extract a sample (85) thereof. The punch means (18) being receivable within said housing means (8) to enable said housing means (8), with said punch means (18) and said sample (85), to be removable from said second part (2) of said applicator (100), and wherein the sampling means is not associated with an animal tag.

Abstract: An interactive safe that can be permanently attached to a vehicle is any location; it is capable of holding different items, designed in various shapes and sizes, customizable to interact with car manufacturers, and can be placed in various locations in a vehicle; the built-in electronic system may be connected to the vehicle's computer system, alarm system, or power source.

Abstract: A system and method of creating and updating a mobile record accessible by a user and authorized providers is described.

Abstract: A golf yardage guide with removably securable pages inserted after the guide is assembled. The removably securable pages are provided for additions to, replacement of pages or removal from the golf yardage guide. The yardage guide includes a plurality of pages coupled together by a binding. The removably securable pages are formed with binding apertures each aperture having a slit extending from the binding aperture to an edge of the removably securable pages. The slits create catches on either side of the slit. The slits and catches are used to couple the binding apertures with the binding of the yardage guide. The removably securable pages display content including golf course information, yardage information for holes on the course, coupons, advertisements, rules, and customer customizations.

Abstract: An article for receiving an image by thermal transfer printing includes an image-receiving surface of plastics material coated with a layer of dye-receptive material capable of accepting an image by means of a dye thermal transfer process, wherein the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the dye receptive material is at least 50° C. lower than the softening point of the plastics material of the image-receiving surface. By having a difference between the softening point of the plastics material article surface and the Tg of the material coated thereon of at least 50° C. it is possible to achieve printing in a single step transfer process of high density images without distortion of the plastics material. The invention can be used with three-dimensional articles possibly having compound curves, including casings for mobile telephones made of polymers such as polycarbonate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a coating material for producing a porous ink-absorbent coating on a substrate to be used in ink-jet printers, comprising radiation curable material and particulate material in a liquid carrier, wherein the weight ratio of particulate material to radiation curable material is greater than 1:1. Also disclosed is a process for preparing a coated substrate using such a coating material. Advantageously, the coating material of the present invention does not crack upon curing, and conveniently forms a porous coating having a glossy surface, while retaining a porous structure for ink-absorption.
