    Abstract: A contrast bathing physiotherapy device (1) has local thermoelectric cells (7) which heat or cool a localised part of a patient's body (B) via a Cu heat spreader (6) and a flexible thermal interface pad (15). Cooling is augmented by a bias bank (21) of thermoelectric cells which draw heat from the local bank (7) via a looped heat pipe (10). The heat pipe (10) has an evaporator in a Cu block (8) at the local bank (7) and a condenser in a Cu block (20) at the bias bank (21).

    Abstract: Magnetic films for very small magnetic devices are produced by applying a paste to a substrate and curing. The paste has magnetic particles in a binder which has binding particles dissolved in a solvent. The solvent evolves during curing and thus the cured film has a very high magnetic density. The method of curing ensures that porosity does not arise to a significant extent.

    Abstract: In apparatus for conveying batches of ice lumps from a storage hopper (2) to remotely located ice dispensers (7), ice lumps from the storage hopper (2) are delivered into the main conduits (5) through corresponding main valves (20) and connecting conduits (25) extending between each main valve (20) and the storage hopper (2). Metering valves (14) meter batches of ice lumps of predetermined size into the main conduits (5). Conveying air from an air blower (10) is supplied to the main conduits (5) through the main valves (20) for conveying the batches of ice lumps. In use, batches of ice lumps are intermittently delivered into the main conduit (5), and the batches of ice lumps and conveying air are alternately supplied to the main conduit (5).

    Abstract: A method for rapidly detecting the presence or absence of a particular nucleic acid sequence at a candidate locus in a target nucleic acid sample comprises the steps of: i) introducing a modified base which is a substrate for a DNA glycosylase into said candidate locus at one or more preselected positions; ii) excising the modified base by means of said DNA glycosylase so as to generate an abasic site; iii) cleaving phosphate linkages at abasic sites generated in step ii); and iv) analysing the cleavage products of step iii) so as to identify in said target nucleic acid sequence the presence or absence of said particular nucleic acid sequence at said candidate locus. The method has particular application for detecting specific mutations in a DNA sample, including the detection of multiple known mutations in DNA. Large throughput of sample can be achieved rapidly and easily.

    Abstract: PCT No. PCT/IE92/00007 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 11, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 11, 1994 PCT Filed Sep. 11, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/04641 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 18, 1993.A dental floss device (1, 40, 50, 60, 70) comprises a handle (2) having a shank (3) terminating in a head piece (4). A disposable dental floss holder (5) comprises a base portion (10) and a pair of spaced-apart jaws (11, 12) with a length of dental floss (13) extending therebetween. The head piece (4) has a groove (20) in which the base portion (10) is securely retained when the device is used in all flossing directions. Snap-fit projections (15) extend inwardly from the jaws (11, 12) of the floss holder (5) and are retained behind marginal edges (25) of a floor (24) of the groove (20). When used, the floss holder (5) is removed and a new floss holder (5) is fitted.
