Patent AU-6028686-A (AU)
Title: Catalyst composition and method for conversion of c3 and c4 hydrocarbons
Inventor: KOLTS JOHN HENRY
IPC: C07C4/06
Filed: 1986-07-17
Abstract: Compositions of matter, including: A mixture of at least one oxide of manganese and at least one oxide of a Lanthanum Series metal, preferably lanthanum or cerium, or at leaat one oxide of niobium. The above compositions are particularly useful as catalytic compositions for the conversion of C<sub>3</sub> and C<sub>4</sub> hydrocarbons to less saturated hydrocarbons, particularly ethylene and propylene and preferably ethylene. The life of the catalyst for the selective production of ethylene is extended by carrying out the reaction in the presence of steam. The steam substantially increases the active life of the catalytic composition, before regeneration is necessary, as well as significantly increasing the selectivity to ethylene. Limiting the amount of "bound" or "fixed" sulfur in the catalytic composition also improves the catalyst.

Title: Shell resonant membranophone
Inventor: VOLPP STEVEN W
IPC: G10D13/02
Filed: 1994-01-10
Abstract: A drum having improved acoustic characteristics comprises a rigid annular bridge at one or both ends of a thin resonant annular shell attached to the bridges. A drum head is mounted on the bridge by a tension mechanism attached only to the bridge, and the drum is mounted on a drum stand by mounting hardware attached only to the bridge, leaving the shell free of load bearing and tensive and compressive forces and making the shell resonate more effectively. The bridge is machined from a solid block of wood formed of horizontal laminations. A microphone can be mounted on the inside of the bridge, with electrical leads exiting the drum through the mounting hardware. A snare drum having a thick body instead of a resonant shell is machined in the same way and has internal head tension members that make it possible to have a thicker body.

Title: Sailing boat
Inventor: CHRISTENSEN JAN ARTHUR
IPC: B63B43/08
Filed: 1986-08-05
Abstract: A sailing boat having a pivotally mounted mat (12). Guy wires (16) are attached to the mast (12) and are arranged to maintain the latter in a vertical position with a predetermined biasing force. The guy wires (16) are attached to hydraulically operating piston-and-cylinder units (18) which are part of a hydraulic system (18, 22, 24, 26). The hydraulic system is arranged to control the position of a train of weights (30) which are moveable transversely across the hull (28) of the sailing boat (10). When the wind acts on the sails of the sailing boat (10) the guy wires (16) affect the hydraulic system, whereby the weights (30) will be moved to a predetermined position wherein they generate a moment of forces balancing the effects of the wind, whereby the hull (28) will remain in a horizontal position.

Title: Process for producing fusion proteins comprising scfv fragments by a transformed mould
Inventor: FRENKEN LEON GERARDUS JOSEPH
IPC: C07K16/00
Filed: 1994-06-09
Abstract: The present invention provides a process for producing fusion proteins comprising ScFv fragments by a transformed Aspergillus mould containing a DNA sequence encoding the ScFV fragment under control of at least one expression and/or secretion regulating region derived from a mould selected from the group consisting of promoter sequences, terminator sequences and signal sequence-encoding DNA sequences or functional derivatives or analogues thereof. Such regulating region can be derived from the endoxylanase II gene (exlA gene) of Aspergillus niger var. awamori present on plasmid pAW14B or can be the combination of both a promoter and a signal sequence-encoding DNA sequence derived from a glucoamylase gene ex Aspergillus plus a terminator sequence of a trpC gene ex Aspergillus. Preferably a fusion protein comprising "secreted mould protein - (KEX2 -) ScFv" is produced. Also provided are new products comprising an ScFv fragment or fusion product thereof, compositions, e.g. consumer products, containing both old and new products so produced. Preferably the ScFv fragment recognizes a compound present in the human eco-system, such as microorganisms or enzymes. Such compounds can be present in the oral cavity, e.g. involved in the formation of plaque, caries, gingivitis, periodontal diseases, or bad breath, or on the human skin, e.g. involved in the formation of malodour, inflammation or hair loss, or can be a hormone, e.g. HCG.

Title: Breathing monitor articles of wearing apparel
Inventor: STEPHENS DAVID L
IPC: A61B5/113
Filed: 1994-08-11
Abstract: A breathing monitor article of wearing apparel, adapted for child users in order to monitor breathing conditions of a child user. The apparatus and the method of the invention are particularly adaptable for infant child users in order to prevent conditions such as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and similar conditions arising from apnea. The article of wearing apparel comprises a shirt or like garment adapted to extend around the chest and/or abdomen portion of the child user and which contains a pocket having a monitor therein. An elastic belt extends about the chest and/or abdomen of the user and particularly, in the region of the user's lungs. A strain gauge is secured to the elastic belt and detects breathing movement through the expansion and contraction of the chest wall. The monitor is electronically operated and constructed so as to generate an alarm signal if there is a cessation of breathing for a minimum predetermined time period. The shirt, or like garment, is also constructed so that when it is secured to the child user, it automatically energizes the monitor, thereby eliminating the necessity of an attendant to the child from turning the monitor on or off.
