Patent AU-2004242111-A1 (AU)
Title: Method for the analysis of gas produced by a titanium tetrachloride fluidized bed reactor
Inventor: TURNBAUGH DONALD T JR
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 2004-05-12
Abstract: A method to determine the concentration ratio of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide in the gaseous product of a fluidized bed reactor for producing titanium tetrachloride. The hot fluidized bed of the reactor is used as the source of infrared radiation which radiation is directed through the gaseous products in upper portion of the reactor through a window in the reactor to an infrared spectrometer. The concentration ratio can be used to control the temperature of the fluidized bed reactor by controlling the amount of cool titanium tetrachloride that is introduced into the reactor.

Title: Portable electrotherapy device for knee joint maladies
Inventor: CARLOZZI MICHAEL D
IPC: C12N13/00
Filed: 2004-06-14
Abstract: A portable device for applying therapeutic electrical signals and/or electromagnetic fields to a patient's knee for the treatment of osteoarthritis and other diseases, defects and injuries. The device is operable in several modes to deliver signals to the patients knee so as to cause an electric and/or electromagnetic field to be generated that selectively up-regulates gene expression of Aggrecan and Type II Collagen while simultaneously selectively down-regulating the gene expression of metalloproteases. The device includes a signal generator that generates compound electric signals including a 60 kHz sine wave having a peak to peak voltage of approximately 4.6 V to 7.6 V and a 100% duty cycle signal that is generated for approximately 30 minutes and a 50% duty cycle signal that is generated for approximately 1 hour after the 100% duty cycle signal. These compound electric signals are communicated to electrodes or coils in the proximity of a patient's knee for the generation of a specific and selective electromagnetic field that treats the diseased tissue.

Title: Adjuvant combinations of liposomes and mycobacterial lipids for immunization compositions and vaccines
Inventor: OLSEN ANJA
IPC: A61K39/04
Filed: 2004-07-07
Abstract: The present invention provides a vaccine adjuvant consisting of a combination of a surfactant i.e. dimethyldeoctadecylammonium-bromide/chloride (DDA) and a lipid extract from Mycobacterium bovis BCG. The total lipid extract contains both apolar lipids, polar lipids, and lipids of intermediate polarity of which the apolar lipids were found to induce the most powerful immune responses. The total lipids may be extracted with chloroform/methanol and re-dissolved in water before the addition of surfactant. This preparation may be used to induce prominent cell-mediated immune responses in a mammal in order to combat pathogens, or as a treatment for cancer.

Title: Procédé d’enlèvement de gaz résiduel amélioré
Inventor: BRASH KENNETH GEORGE
IPC: B65D90/30
Filed: 2006-05-02
Abstract: L’invention permet d’extraire des gaz résiduels de matériaux à l’aide d’une pression interne de conteneur qui est inférieure à la pression atmosphérique ambiante à l’extérieur du conteneur (10). Pour atteindre cet objectif, l’opérateur peut expulser un courant de gaz résiduel à partir du conteneur (10) en actionnant le ventilateur d’aspiration (20). La pression dans le conteneur (10) peut alors retomber d’une fraction quelconque de pression atmosphérique jusqu’à une valeur prédéterminée. Au bout d’un certain temps d’exploitation à la pression sub-atmosphérique, le ventilateur d’aspiration (20) est éteint, et la pression dans le conteneur (10) est maintenue pendant un intervalle prédéterminé sans faire passer de courant de gaz de purge à travers le conteneur (10). Cet intervalle prédéterminé est également connu comme “équilibrage” ou temps de séjour. Pendant le temps de séjour, au moins une certaine désorption de gaz résiduels adsorbés et absorbés se produit à partir des matériaux. Au terme de l’intervalle prédéterminé, l’expulsion de gaz résiduel à partir du conteneur (10) reprend. La pression dans le conteneur (10) ne revient pas aux niveaux de pression atmosphérique, elle est maintenue à un certain niveau sub-atmosphérique.
