Patent AU-779835-B2 (AU)
Title: Method and apparatus for retaining and presenting at least one microsphere array to solutions and/or to optical imaging systems
Inventor: STUELPNAGEL JOHN R
IPC: G01N35/02
Filed: 2000-05-19
Granted: 2005-02-10
Abstract: A holder for an array of bundles containing multiple fiber optic strands provides a pattern of openings into which one each of each bundle is fit. The openings may (but need not) penetrate the full holder thickness to permit working with bundles from either bundle end. In one embodiment the holder thickness equals the bundle length, and the holder is sized similarly to a microscope slide. An alternative embodiment temporarily retains bundles in a desired registration and subjects the retained bundles to molten material such as wax that is allowed to harden around the bundles and become the holder. A modular holder comprises laminates that each contain parallel grooves sized to receive a bundle. A holder for a single bundle includes cooperating grip-like members, one of which is pivotably attached and biased toward the other member. A common form factor may be used for each holder type to facilitate retaining holders in a common docking station.

Title: Waste disposal process
IPC: C10B57/02
Filed: 1990-10-06
Granted: 1993-07-01
Abstract: In a process for the disposal of toxic and/or infectious waste, especially highly halogenated solids, plastic containers, hospital waste and the like, to recover useful substances and render inert non-recyclable and unoutgassable residues, outgassing by the pyrolytic process is used, with air excluded and a reduced oxygen content, followed by the direct incineration of the distillation gases obtained from pyrolysis or their cracking to form a pyrolysis separation gas. The waste to be disposed of is inserted in an autoclave (2), partially outgassed there for a period of 20 minutes to 6 hours at about 250 to 320 C in an initial outgassing stage, then cooled and made into a granulate or pellets measuring from 1 to 50 mm, which are subsequently treated by the pyrolysis outgassing method in a second outgassing stage at a temperature of 550 to 600 C. This generates distillation gas which is separated from the residues, like carbon, ash, heavy metal particles and other components. The liquid partial outgassing intermediate products, like oil and/or coal tars, produced in the autoclave (2) are taken to the second outgassing stage, while the distillation gas separated off in the first outgassing stage in the autoclave (2) is taken off and added to the stream of distillation gas from the second outgassing stage.

Title: Method for the detection of pregnancy disorders
Inventor: SILBERMAN MICHAEL
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 1987-03-24
Granted: 1990-07-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining prgnancy disorders by analysing a biological fluid sample. According to the method, an antigen consisting of a specific non-hormonal human-derived placental soluble protein is labelled by a radioactive iodine. The sample and a first antibody compatible with the placental antigen is incubated and to the product obtained is applied a second antibody attached to a solid composition. In the resulted precipitated complex the radioactivity is determined thus establishing the extent of pregnancy disorders. The best results are obtained when the protein to be labelled is present at a concentration of above 0.7 mg/ml. A preferred non-hormonal human-derived placental soluble protein is PP-13. The biological fluid sample is selected from blood, amniotic fluid or urine.
