Abstract:
A surfboard blank comprising: a central portion extending from a nose to a tail end of the surfboard blank wherein the central portion comprises a stringer with one or more central panels; rail panels attached on either lateral side of the central portion such that the central portion is flanked by said rail panels, wherein the rail panels generally extend along a longitudinal axis of the surfboard blank; wherein said central panels are formed from a first resilient foam core material and the rail panels are formed from a second resilient foam core material whereby the first resilient foam core material has greater buoyancy in water relative to the second resilient foam core material. 100 11011 120 Fig 1 i /
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods and reagents for detecting antibodies against phospholipid-cofactor proteins. Phospholipids include cardiolipin. Cofactor proteins include beta-2-glycoprotein-1 (i.e., apolipoprotein H) or a prothrombin protein. Detection is accomplished with flow cytometry (e.g., fluorescence-activated cell sorting, facs).
