Patent AU-771451-B2 (AU)
Title: Fluorescent intensity assay for protein or peptide binding to nucleic acids
Inventor: ERIKSON GLEN H
IPC: C12Q1/6804
Filed: 1999-12-29
Granted: 2004-03-25
Abstract: A method for assaying binding between a fluorophore-labeled compound and an unlabeled compound is provided. The method includes detecting a quenching effect on fluorescence emitted by the fluorophore-labeled compound resulting from binding. The binding is specific and other than nucleobase to nucleobase. The method is conducted without separating complexes of the fluorophore-labeled compound and the unlabeled compound from the fluorophore-labeled compound prior to quenching effect detecting, and without providing a signal quenching agent to quench fluorescent light. Preferably, the fluorophore-labeled compound is a nucleic acid and the unlabeled compound is a protein. The method can be used for a variety of applications, including screening for drug candidates having optimum binding properties, and quantifying the binding affinity of DNA binding proteins for nucleic acids.

Title: Glow discharge deposition apparatus
Inventor: NATH PREM
IPC: C23C14/22
Filed: 1983-09-09
Granted: 1986-11-13
Abstract: Apparatus (37) for introducing sweep gas through a baffle system (52) adapted for use with glow discharge deposition apparatus in which successive amorphous semiconductor layers are deposited on a substrate (11). The deposition apparatus includes at least a pair of adjacent dedicated deposition chambers into each of which different process gases are introduced, the chambers being operatively connected by a gas gate. Inert gases introduced into a first one of the adjacent chambers are unidirectionally swept through the gas gate to minimize back diffusion of process gases from the other of the chambers. The baffle system (52) is adapted to prevent said sweep gases from entering into turbulent flow when traveling through the gas gate passageway. Further, a sufficient volume per unit time of sweep gas is introduced to insure that some sweep gas flows into the cathode region of the first chamber, thereby substantially preventing process gases and plasma from escaping from the cathode region and forming silane powder.

Abstract: A disposable seal assembly for use with a reusable cannula, where the seal assembly is designed for use with the cannula during a single medical procedure and the cannula is designed for multiple uses (each time with a different seal assembly) during a number of medical procedures. The seal assembly includes both a flapper valve fluid seal (for sealing the cannula when no medical instrument is inserted through the seal assembly) and at least one instrument seal (for sealing the cannula when a medical instrument is inserted through the seal assembly). Preferably, the seal assembly has a body with a flange which can be snapped onto the cannula before use, and readily removed after use. Also preferably, the flapper valve has an over-centered hinge. In other embodiments, the invention is a seal assembly which includes at least one double instrument seal including a sacrificial flange and a sealing flange, and optionally also a flapper valve. The sealing flange seals the cannula when a medical instrument is inserted through the seal assembly even when the sacrificial flange has been cut during insertion of the instrument. In other embodiments, the invention is a system including a reusable cannula, and a disposable seal assembly of any of the described types which can be snapped onto the cannula before use and readily removed after use.

Granted: 1994-10-27
Abstract: On the inner surface of sensor element (1) made of proton conductive solid electrolyte with perovskite structure and enclosed at its lower end, a reference electrode (2) constituted of porous electrode is formed, and a measuring electrode (3) constituted of porous electrode is formed on the outer surface thereof. And, the reference electrode and the measuring electrode are gas-tightly separated by sealing material. The sensor prove is inserted into ceramic sensor holding cup (10) and both are fixed in such a way that a part of the measuring electrode (3) extrude into said holding cup. Then, by dipping the holder into molten metal (19)by facing its opening part downwards, a space contacting with molten metal is enclosed in the holding cup. Thereby, reduction of solid electrolyte constituting the sensor element can be prevented, and hydrogen concentration in molten metal can be accurately measured without direct dipping the sensor element into molten metal. Thereby, it is possible to provide a sensor probe and a method for measuring hydrogen concentration in which hydrogen concentration can be continuously measured for long period and an apparatus with smaller size can be made. <IMAGE>

Title: Sprayable refractory composition
Inventor: RUMPELTIN CHARLES R
IPC: F27D1/16
Filed: 1993-03-03
Granted: 1996-08-01
Abstract: The present invention discloses an alkali oxide free low density refractory material especially adapted for use as a disposable liner material for molten metal containing vessels. This material includes about 0.1 to about 2 weight percent of a stiffening agent, about 0.1 to about 2 weight percent of a set retarding agent, about 0.1 to 6 weight percent of density reducing materials, about 0.1 to about 5 weight percent of a plasticizer, up to about 2 weight percent of a secondary binder, and the balance of a refractory aggregate which is preferably MgO. The stiffening agent and set retarding agent are used in substantially the same amounts to provide the disclosed refractory material with increased resistance to slumping while, at the same time, allowing spraying apparatus residence times of up to 30-40 minutes without clogging. The composition includes less than about 0.1 weight percent of alkali oxides, so that reaction and fusion of the disposable liner with a permanent liner is avoided thereby allowing increased ease in mechanical removal of the disposable liner. Also, the invention relates to methods for applying the disposable lining by spraying and an apparatus for holding molten metal which includes a steel shell, a relatively permanent refractory lining disposed therein and a disposable lining disposed upon at least a portion of the permanent refractory lining.

Filed: 1985-10-02
Granted: 1988-09-22
Abstract: A rotary engine in which the expansion pressure of a working gas is converted into a mechanical rotary movement consists of an inner engine element with an outer circumferential surface and an outer engine element which surrounds the inner element and has an inner circumferential surface, the two surfaces being disposed closely adjacent and facing each other. Disposed at, for example, the inner surface are three spaced projections, which transmit the expansion pressure of the gas to the inner element, and three expansion chambers between the projections. Four reaction members, which are each movable into the expansion chambers in turn and transmit the gas expansion pressure to the outer element, are mounted at the circumferential surface of the outer element. The two circumferential surfaces have the form of complementary annular surfaces, wherein in cross-section the inner surface has the shape of a concave, parabola-like curve and the outer surface the shape of a convex, parabola-like curve. The surfaces extend parallel to each other with close sliding fit up to their outer edges.
