Abstract: A method for interconnecting multiple components of a head-gimbal assembly with a solder joint, including the steps of positioning a first component adjacent to a second component to provide a connection area between the first and second components, dispensing a solder sphere to a capillary tube comprising tapered walls, wherein the capillary tube is positioned with an exit orifice above the connection area between the first and second components, pressurizing the capillary tube until a predetermined pressure is reached, applying a first laser pulse to the solder sphere to provide a level of thermal energy to liquefy the solder sphere until it falls from the exit orifice toward the connection area between the first and second components, detecting the movement of the liquefied solder sphere after it has exited the exit orifice of the capillary tube, and applying a second laser pulse to reflow the solder sphere to create the solder joint between the first and second components.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process of differentiating stem cells, in particular hES cells, into cardiomyocytes and into neural progenitors by growing the hES cells in the presence of a defined medium that is substantially free of xeno- and serum-components and thus comprises a clinically compliant medium. The defined media comprises defined factors that contribute to the promotion of differentiation to cardiomyocytes and neural progenitors. The invention also includes defined culture media and cell populations and methods of using them.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the induction of differentiation in human embryonic stem (hES) cells to cardiomyocytes and factors such as prostaglandin I2 (PGI2), Fgf 9, Bmp6, Bmp4, Scf, Igf2, and insulin that influence the process of differentiation to cardiomyocytes. Media that is appropriate for the induction of differentiation of cardiomyocytes from hES cells is also provided wherein the media contains these factors. Genes that are upregulated in the process of cardiomyocyte differentiation are also provided.

Abstract: Improvements in and relating to Pipe Clips and Supports Disclosed is a pipe attachment (100), comprising first and second elements (110, 120), each comprising an inner sub-element (122) and an outer sub-element (121), the inner and outer sub-elements being rotatable relative to each other, wherein in a first configuration, the first and second elements are separate and positionable to surround the pipe, and in a second configuration, they are locked together, wherein the locking together is achieved by relative rotation of the respective inner and outer sub-elements such that the inner sub-element of the first element at least partially engages with the outer sub-element of the second element, and the inner sub-element of the second element at least partially engages with the outer sub-element of the first element.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for suspending an object from an anchor point positioned, in use, above it, comprising: an elongate rod (200) having at least one waisted portion (220); a rod-engaging member (400); and a lock member (300), wherein the rod-engaging member (400) comprises: a substantially cylindrical main body (410) having a longitudinal slot (460) running along its entire length; a circumferential ridge (420) disposed around the cylindrical main body (410), arranged to engage with a complementary recess (130) provided in the object to be suspended; and a portion (430) comprising at least one elongate element having an inwardly facing projection (470), arranged to engage with the waisted portion (220) of the elongate rod (200).

Abstract: A fixture assembly is configured to securely retain a component, such as an acoustic inlet barrel. The fixture assembly includes at least one component-securing sub-assembly configured to be selectively positioned between a retracted position and a securing position. The component-securing sub-assembly securely retains the component in the securing position, and includes a plurality of component-securing members having outer gripping members that are configured to securely abut into an interior surface of the component in the securing position.
