Patent AU-748691-B2 (AU)
Title: Encapsulation devices with strand, yarn or mesh core
Inventor: LI REBECCA
IPC: A61L27/38
Filed: 1999-04-13
Granted: 2002-06-13
Abstract: A device is prepared having cells or tissue attached to a non-degradable filamentous matrix surrounded by a semi-permeable membrane. The matrix is preferably formed of a plurality of monofilaments twisted into a yarn or woven into a mesh, and can be in the form of a cylinder. When implanting the device, the semi-permeable membrane is preferably immunolsolatory, and the cells or tissue may produce a biologically active molecule to provide therapy. To enhance cell or tissue adhesion, the matrix is coated with extracellular matrix molecules or treated to provide a surface charge. The device can be made by inserting the matrix into a capsule formed of the semi-permeable membrane, distributing the cells or tissue on the matrix through an opening of the capsule, and sealing the opening of the capsule.

Title: Apparatus and method for measuring vision defects of a human eye
Inventor: LIANG JUNZHONG
IPC: A61B3/103
Filed: 1999-04-20
Granted: 2002-05-23
Abstract: Optical characteristics of optical systems, such as the eye, are measured including vision defects of the eye using a collimated beam from a diode laser focused onto the anterior surface of the cornea of the eye for providing a finite source of secondary radiation on the retina of the eye, the image of which is close to a desired diffraction limited spot. The secondary radiation is reflected back from the retina as a reflected wavefront of radiation that passes through the eye and is directed onto a wavefront analyzer where distortions associated with the reflected wavefront are measured. By focusing on the cornea through a long focal length lens and thus converging the beam through a small angle, as opposed to typically focusing a collimated light onto the retina, the need for lenses or lens combinations, and the time required to adjust such to accommodate the differing vision of each patient is eliminated.

Granted: 1988-06-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a highly immunogenic virus preparation derived by attenuation employing serial passages in avian cell cultures and six plaque purification steps from a Marek's disease virus strain, belonging to Avian Herpesvirus serotype-1. The original virus strain MDV CVI-988 was recovered from a healthy chicken (Avian Disease 16:108-125,1972).The live purified Marek's disease vaccine so obtained is innocuous for specific pathogen free Rhode Island Red chickens which are highly susceptible for development of Marek's disease tumours. The monovalent virus preparation, according to the invention, demonstrated in comparison with Marek's disease vaccines based on the same strain, currently in use at a lower cell passage level, an improved protective efficacy against challenge infection by two representatives of virulent Marek's disease virus.The monovalent virus preparation, according to the invention, provided significantly better protection than current MDV CVI-988 vaccine to challenge infection with a representative of the group of newly emerging very virulent strains of Marek's disease virus, MDV RB/1B. The monovalent virus strains of Marek's disease virus, MDV RB/1B. The monovalent virus preparation, according to the invention, provided significantly better protection than is HVT FC126 vaccine to challenge infection with another representative of the group of very virulent MD viruses, MDV Tun.

Granted: 1983-06-30
Abstract: A device for receiving analog and discrete input signals and for converting the spectrum thereof without loss of information. The resultant signal has a frequency response curve which exhibits zero points at the frequency zero and at half the sample frequency. The second zero point is then suitable for addition of a pilot tone, without the required bandwidth being increased and without interference with the data signal. The device comprises two integrating feedback loops (32, 24/40), the output signals of which are alternately activated. The sign of the active output signal determines the sign of the input signal of the feedback loops and of the output signal of the device. One feedback loop directly receives said output signal, while the other feedback loop receives this output signal via a multiplier which alternately receives a positive and a negative multiplicand.
