Abstract: Golf training aid for improving a golfer's golf swing, insertable into a grip end of a golf club. The aid having a rod slidably connected to the grip end of the golf club, with the first end and a portion of the rod received within the hollow shaft of the golf club. A training element is connected to the second end of the rod and disposed outwardly beyond the grip end of the shaft of the golf club. The rod is slidably moveable from a retracted position to an extended position during a golf swing via gravity. In the retracted position, the training element is located adjacent the grip end of the golf club and a portion of the rod is received within the shaft. In the extended position, the rod is extended outwardly and the training element is spaced apart from the grip end of the golf club.

Abstract: Sepsis remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates worldwide. There is also clinically a low threshold for suspicion of infection in neonates, in particular as presentation varies greatly from very subtle to catastrophic collapse. The lack of reliably sensitive tests and the potential life-threatening consequences of delayed treatment of infection results in the widespread use of empirical antibiotics exposing many infants without infection to broad-spectrum antibiotics. The present invention provides a series of patient-invariant biomarkers for screening neonates and other subjects for infection that predicts bacterial infection with high accuracy; and is further shown to have predictive value in identifying infection in suspected cases with blood-culture negative tests.

Abstract: A computer-implemented user interface method includes displaying on a touch screen a portion of a large scale graphical space that is at least multiples larger than the device display, receiving from a user of the device an input to pan within the graphical space, automatically generating a pop up graphical panning control in response to receiving the user input, and receiving a user input to the panning control and providing panning in the graphical space, wherein movement of the panning control in a single selection is able to pan the display across a substantial portion of the large scale graphical space.

Abstract: An optical fiber or cable storage module includes a back wall and a number of resilient mounting fingers extending from the back wall, and a fiber supply spool having an axial bore formed to receive the mounting fingers and to engage the fingers when the spool is urged toward the back wall so that the spool is restrained from axial movement. The spool includes a hub, and a first winding section for containing a length of fiber sufficient to route between a service terminal outside a user premises and a location near a user terminal inside the premises. The mounting fingers have corresponding catches at the ends of the fingers, and the inner circumference of the bore in the supply spool has an annular groove formed to seat the catches for restraining the spool from axial movement.

Abstract: Nanoparticles are prepared from a colloidal system comprising a continuous phase and micelles, the micelles comprising surfactant material. A microemulsion is formed by admixing the colloidal system with a solution of an active material, such as a medicament, dissolved in a solvent wherein the solution forms a disperse phase with the micelles of surfactant material. At least the dispersed phase is quenched to a solid state and the continuous phase and solvent are removed to produce the nanoparticles. The nanoparticles can be incorporated in an aerosol composition suitable for deep lung delivery by means of a metered dose inhaler.

Abstract: An aerosol composition comprising a propellant and a first particulate material comprising particles having a median aerodynamic diameter with the range 0.05 to 11 ?m, such as a medicament suitable for pulmonary inhalation, and a second particulate material comprising particles having a median volume diameter within the range 15 to 200 ?m. The presence of the second particulate material provides good suspension properties, particularly where the propellant is a hydrofluoro alkane.

Abstract: Biocompatible intraocular implants include an anti-angiogenic agent, such as estradiol derivative or an estratopone and a biodegradable polymer that is effective to facilitate release of the anti-angiogenic agent into an eye for an extended period of time. The therapeutic agents of the implants may be associated with a biodegradable polymer matrix, such as a matrix that is substantially free of a polyvinyl alcohol. The implants may be placed in an eye to treat or reduce the occurrence of one or more ocular conditions, such as angiogenisis, ocular tumors, and the like.
