Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU90/00232 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 26, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 26, 1991 PCT Filed May 30, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO90/15162 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 13, 1990.The specification discloses a process for pre-heating and pre-reducing metal oxide ores. The process comprises introducing particles of an oxide ore entrained in a gas through a port into a treatment chamber. Inside the treatment chamber teh stream of entrained particles combines with a stream of high temperature reducing gas in such a way that the particles are heated rapidly and enter into flow patterns whereby contact with other particles and the internal surface of the treatment chamber is minimized. The stream of entrained particles and the stream of high temperature reducing gas are substantially co-current. A treatment chamber elongated in the direction of co-current flow is described in the specification. The hot off-gases may be derived from a molten bath reactor and comprise a high concentration of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.

Patent AU-779172-B2 (AU)
Title: Closed exchange system
Inventor: GILLIS EDWARD M
IPC: A61B17/12
Filed: 2000-10-03
Granted: 2005-01-13
Abstract: The invention provides a means of closed exchange of implanted medical device components. An exchanger is brought into contact with the implanted medical device in situ. The component is withdrawn from the implanted device and brought into a closed chamber of the exchanger. Without breaking the contact between implanted device and exchanger, the replacement component is then moved from its position in the exchanger, and inserted into the correct position in the implanted device. The surfaces of the implanted device are not brought into contact with the outside environment, thereby minimizing the possibility of introducing contaminants into the body during the exchange process. The invention is particularly useful for devices that are difficult to position and re-position, thus making it advantageous to exchange only an expended component, rather than the entire device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the determination of urinary protein and creatinine in a single reaction vessel using a continuous process. The method involves adjusting the pH to a level suitable for carrying out an immuno assay for the protein and making such a determination by an immuno agglutination technique. Raising the pH to a level suitable for determining the creatinine quickly dissipates the cloudiness caused by the agglutination reaction, so that the creatinine determination can be carried out without delay.
