Patent number: 11965893Abstract: This invention relates to the use of biomarker LRG1 as a biomarker for preeclampsia for use from the first trimester. Elevated levels of leucine-rich alpha 2 glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) can predict risk for the future development of preeclampsia or other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The predictive test will comprise the measurement of LRG1 protein, peptide fragment, DNA or RNA, from either blood, plasma, serum, urine, saliva or amniotic fluid. The invention provides a method and a test kit to assess the risk of pre-eclampsia in pregnant woman. The method or test can utilise antibodies to measure levels of LGR1 in a sample.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: The Queen's University of BelfastInventors: Chris Watson, Timothy Lyons, Alice Cheung, Clare Kelly

Patent number: 9394106Abstract: A rack feeds sticks of pipe to a machine for serial fusion to the trailing end of a pipeline. Multiple independent spaced apart feeders support transverse bundles of sticks of pipe on beams. Legs which support the beams above the ground have jacks to vary the height and slope of the beams. The slope is set so that sticks tend to roll toward the lower front end of the beam where roller assemblies receive the sticks of pipe as they are manually rolled, one at a time, off the beams. All of the rack components are modular and interchangeably connectable so that the feeder can be quickly adapted for a variety of conditions and applications. The level of the lead end of the pipe can be hydraulically adjusted for vertical orientation with the fusion machine and the pipe fed on by hydraulically powered roller to provide a single operator system.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2014Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Inventors: Timothy A. Lyon, Thomas D. Cravens

Publication number: 20150369574Abstract: An outdoor dart game is played with a supply of darts that are thrown at each of two opposed posts. The posts are low to the ground for safety and positioned a distance from one another. Players alternate throwing darts at a post. Scoring is counted according to the position of the darts on the post, only one team earning a score for each round of play.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2014Publication date: December 24, 2015Inventors: Timothy A.
