Patent HK-1036497-A1 (HK)
Title: Optical-based sensing devices
Inventor: ARTHUR COLVIN
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 2001-07-14
Abstract: An optical-based sensor (10) for detecting the presence or amount of an analyte using both indicator and reference channels. The sensor has a sensor body (12) with a source of radiation embedded therein (18). A matrix layer is disposed on the surface of the sensor body which layer is permeable to an analyte and comprises fluroescent indicator molecules responsive to the concentration of the analyte. Radiation emitted by the source interacts with indicator membrane (3) indicator molecules (16) proximate the surface of the body. At least one optical characteristic of these indicator molecules varies with analyte concentration. For example, the level of fluorescence of fluorescent indicator molecules or the amount of light absorbed by light-absorbing indicator molecules can vary as a function of analyte concentration. In addition, radiation emitted by the source also interacts with reference membrane indicator molecules proximate the surface of the body. Radiation (e,g., light) emitted or reflected by these indicator molecules enters and is internally reflected in the sensor body. Photosensitive elements within the sensor body generate both indicator channel and reference channel signals to provide an accurate indication of the concentration of the analyte.
Patent HK-1051756-A1 (HK)
Title: Method and apparatus for efficient data transmission in a voice-over-data communication system
Inventor: YAO YU-DONG
IPC: H04L/
Filed: 2003-06-06
Abstract: A method and apparatus for increasing the probability of successful data frame transmission from a transmitter to a receiver. When a data frame is generated by a processor, it is stored in a transmit queue and a copy of the data frame is stored in a secondary queue. An elapsed time device tracks the elapsed time that the data frame copy has been stored in the secondary queue. When no data frames are generated by the processor, data frame copies from the secondary queue are placed into the transmit queue, thereby increasing the redundancy of transmitted data frames and thus the probability of successful transmission to the receiver.

Title: Method and device for producing containers made of thermoplastic and containers so produced
Inventor: HANSEN BERND
IPC: B29C/
Filed: 2011-01-26
Abstract: A process for producing thermoplastic containers (13) extrudes a plastic tube into opened movable mold parts (5, 7, 9). The main mold parts (7) form the container main part (18). The bottom parts are closed to close and weld the tube bottom end. The tube (3) is widened by a pressure gradient acting on it, forcing the tube against the wall of the mold parts (7, 9) to form the container. The mold parts are then moved into the position to open the mold for removal of the formed container (13). The container bottom is made in the form of a cup-like bottom part (19) axially extending into the container main part (18) by the bottom part being everted into the interior of the container (13) to form a bottom elevation (31).

Title: Methods and apparatus for encoding and decoding data transmitted over telephone lines
Inventor: LABATON ISAAC J
IPC: H04M1/215
Filed: 1998-01-06
Abstract: A method of generation and detection of acoustic signals carrying alpha-numeric data for reducing the effects of noise and thereby improving signal transmission without the need to boost the power of the signal. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a special DTMF acoustic signal consisting of a combination of two frequencies will be generated for the representation of a particular alpha-numeric character that will be similar to the standard DTMF tone. The difference between the amplitudes of both frequencies varies during the time of generation of the DTMF tone in such a way that both signals will arrive at a final destination detector, i.e., an interactive voice response board, at least for a portion of the generation time, at a relatively similar amplitude, thereby substantially increasing the probabilities of being recognized as a DTMF signal.

Patent HK-1006817-A1 (HK)
Title: Electrostatis spraying method
Inventor: NOAKES TIMOTHY JAMES
IPC: B05B5/00
Filed: 1998-06-18
Abstract: An electrostatic spraying device in which liquid emerging from an outlet of the device nozzle (12) is subjected to an electrical field sufficiently high for the liquid to be drawn from the outlet as one or more ligaments which break up into charged droplets to form the spray. The device is adapted for the spraying of targets which are conventionally difficult to coat electrostatically, eg. targets of insulating material. This is achieved by the use of circuitry (18, 20, 22, 24) which generates a bi-polar high voltage output having a frequency such that successive clouds of particles are charged with opposite polarity but do not discharge each other in flight. In this way, the charge applied to the particles is effective to assist seeking of the target without leading to build-up of charge on the target. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1998-07-21
Abstract: A clean air system comprises means (14,18) for producing a flow of clean air and for discharging the clean air from an outlet (19) towards a clean area. A Coanda effect device (20) is located adjacent to the clean air means about the whole or part of its periphery, and induces movement of air away from the flow of clean air. Any potentially contamination air must thus overcome the outward flow of air in order to reach the clean area (12), thereby reducing the likelihood of contamination of the clean area (12). <IMAGE>

Title: A method for producing a isolated and purified major outer membrane protein cd of moraxella.
Inventor: YANG YAN-PING
IPC: A61P31/04
Filed: 1998-08-25
Abstract: An isolated and purified non-denatured outer membrane protein CD which is that of or corresponds to that isolatable from a Branhamella strain, particularly B. catarrhalis, is isolated from a bacterial strain by fractionating a cell lysate formed by disrupting a cell mass of the bacterial strain by centrifugation to provide a pellet and a discard supernatant containing a large proportion of soluble bacterial proteins. The pellet is selectively extracted to remove the remaining soluble proteins, the membrane proteins other than CD and other contaminants such as lipopolysaccharide and phospholipids. The remaining CD-containing pellet is dispersed and solubilized and then fractionated by centrifugation to remove the remaining cell debris. The CD protein is useful in diagnostic applications and immunogenic compositions, particularly for in vivo administration to a host to confer protection against disease caused by a bacterial pathogen that produces CD protein or produces a protein capable of inducing antibodies in a host specifically reactive with CD protein.

Patent IE-20070069-A1 (IE)
Title: A liquid bridge and system
Inventor: DAVIES MARK
IPC: B01F13/00
Filed: 2007-02-07
Abstract: A bridge (30) comprises a first inlet port (31) at the end of a capillary, a narrower second inlet port (32) which is an end of a capillary, an outlet port (33) which is an end of a capillary, and a chamber (34) for silicone oil.  The oil is density-matched with the reactor droplets such that a neutrally buoyant environment is created within the chamber (3).  The oil within the chamber is continuoulsly replenished by the oil separating the reactor droplets.  This causes the droplets to assume a stable capillary-suspended spherical form upon entering the chamber (4).  The spherical shape grows until large enough to span the gap between the ports, forming an axisymmetric liquid bridge.  The introduction of a second droplet from the second inlet port (32) causes the formation of an unstable funicular bridge that quickly ruptures from the, finer, second inlet port (32), and the droplets combine at the liquid bridge (30).  In another embodiment, a droplet (55) segments into smaller droplets which bridge the gap between the inlet and outlet ports.  <Figure 1>
