Abstract: The invention relates to a method of predicting a level of wear of a wear component of a vertical mill, whereby the vertical mill is used for grinding feed material. The method includes, while the mill is in operation, (i) capturing/obtaining a thermal profile of the mill from outside a grinding chamber of the mill, and (ii) determining an indication as to a level of wear of at least one wear component of the mill which is located inside the grinding chamber, based on the thermal profile of the mill. The step of capturing/obtaining a thermal profile may include performing a thermographic analysis of the mill from outside the grinding chamber of the mill. The determining step may include determining whether the wear component requires changing/replacement based on the thermographic analysis of the mill.

Abstract: A method of functionalising an elastomeric material, such as a rubber particle, is provided. The method comprises the functionalisation of an elastomeric material through the use of an ionic liquid based composition, which comprises a water soluble polymer, a cationic silicate component, and a salt of a vulcanization accelerator, together with a zinc compound, sulphur, and an accelerator. Rubber particles, for example particles from recycled rubber products, functionalised according to the method disclosed can successfully be utilised in virgin rubber masterbatches at concentrations not previously possible.

Abstract: This invention relates to an immunogen comprising a gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) peptide sequence, a kisspeptin peptide sequence and a stimulant of raising an immune response, such an immunogen for use in a method to regulate the release of hormones in a vertebrate including modulation of reproductive hormones, to reduce fertility in a vertebrate and to treat hormone-dependent diseases including hormone-dependent tumours including prostate tumours, breast, ovary and endometrial tumours, benign hyperplasia including benign prostatic hyperplasia and uterine fibroids, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian disease, infertility, sexual dysfunction and any disorder that would benefit from an increased or decreased GnRH-dependent activity and a vaccine formulation comprising the immunogen. The invention also relates to the use of the immunogen in the preparation of a medicament for use in a method to regulate the release of hormones in a vertebrate.

Abstract: An automated method for determining a possible road safety violation includes receiving accelerometer data from an accelerometer and using the accelerometer data to determine if a motor vehicle is moving. Receiving blood alcohol level data from a blood alcohol level testing device including the results of a blood alcohol level test undertaken by a driver of the motor vehicle. Using the accelerometer data and the blood alcohol level data to determine if one of the following criteria are met i) the accelerometer data shows that the motor vehicle is moving and the blood alcohol level data shows that the driver of the motor vehicle has failed the blood alcohol level test; or ii) the accelerometer data shows that the motor vehicle is moving and no blood alcohol level data has been received. If either criteria are met, then transmitting a possible road safety violation warning message.

Abstract: A safety boot, specifically, a smelter boot (10) adapted for use in hot metal smelter and furnace operations. The smelter boot (10) comprises a closure arrangement (12) comprising first, second and third upper portions (14, 16, 18) separated by first and second openings respectively. A first binding arrangement (24) is provided for releasably and adjustably retaining the first and second upper portions (14, 16) relative to each other, while a quick release closure mechanism (44) is provided between the second and third upper portions (16, 18). The first binding arrangement (24) is configured to allow the first and second upper portions (14, 16) to be released from each other, when the first binding arrangement (24) is exposed to a temperature equal to or above a predetermined temperature.
