Patent AU-672096-B2 (AU)
Title: Epoxidized block copolymers
Inventor: GEORGE SCOTT ELLERY
IPC: C08F8/08
Filed: 1994-01-03
Granted: 1996-09-19
Abstract: This invention relates to a process for preparing selectively hydrogenated polydiene block copolymers with regiospecifically placed epoxy groups. The process involves polymerizing a conjugated diolefin under anionic polymerization conditions to form a living polydiene which is combined with a conjugated diolefin having a degree of substitution different than the previously mentioned conjugated diolefin to form a block copolymer which is reacted with hydrogen gas in the presence of a soluble transition metal catalyst and an organometallic reducing agent to form a selectively hydrogenated block copolymer, and epoxidizing the unsaturated sites of the non-hydrogenated blocks. This process allows a variety of structural geometries to be obtained in which the level of functionality is varied independent of molecular weight.

Title: Method and system for transmitting a chain of messages for database
Inventor: NICOLAS CHRISTOPHE
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-09-14
Granted: 2004-03-18
Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a system for transmitting a chain of messages for updating a database between a management centre and a plurality of geographically distributed subscriber databases. Each message comprises a chain identifier (FM) and a chain index (FI) for identifying the message in the chain. If a message is not received following a disturbance in the connection, the processing of the next messages can block the databases. In order to remedy that inconvenience, the solution consists in assigning to each message a block status (CD) which determines whether said message is to be processed without referring to the members of the chain and what are the conditions concerning the prior processing of members of the chain.

Title: Method and apparatus for detecting hydrocarbon fuels
Inventor: LAWRENCE WILLIAM R
IPC: G01N33/24
Filed: 1994-09-14
Granted: 1997-05-01
Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting the presence of hydrocarbon analyte in at least one of a liquid and vapor state. The apparatus (21) includes an optical fiber (22), an absorber-expander (31) mechanically coupled (32) to the optical fiber (22) to produce a change in transmission of light along the fiber (22) upon absorption of the hydrocarbon (33). The absorber-expander (31) is selected to absorb hydrocarbons, but not water, and to be capable of multiple reversible expansion and contraction cycles without significant structural degradation. Methyl terminated, silica and iron oxide filled, dimethyl polysiloxane provides a material which will experience substantial swelling in the presence of a hydrocarbon and yet is substantially reversible on desorption of the hydrocarbon from the absorber-expander (31). The method includes positioning an optical fiber (22) having such an absorber-expander (31) for absorption of hydrocarbons and detecting the decrease in light transmission produced by expansion of the absorber-expander (31), for example, by one of microbending and axial misalignment. The location of the absorber-expander (31) along strand (22) can be determined by optical time domain reflectometry or by digital sensing nodes (122), and multiple couplings (57) and biasing couplings (153) for mounting the absorber-expanders (152) to the optical fiber (151) can be used to enhance sensitivity.

Granted: 1994-04-28
Abstract: Disclosed are a family of synthetic proteins having binding affinity for a preselected antigen, and multifunctional proteins having such affinity. The proteins are characterized by one or more sequences of amino acids constituting a region which behaves as a biosynthetic antibody binding site (BABS). The sites comprise VH-VL or VL-VH-like single chains wherein the VH and VL-like sequences are attached by a polypeptide linker, or individual VH or VL-like domains. The binding domains comprise linked CDR and FR regions, which may be derived from separate immunoglobulins. The proteins may also include other polypeptide sequences which function, e.g., as an enzyme, toxin, binding site, or site for attachment to an immobilization media or radioactive atom. Methods are disclosed for producing the proteins, for designing BABS having any specificity that can be elicited by in vivo generation of antibody, for producing analogs thereof, and for producing multifunctional synthetic proteins which are self-targeted by virtue of their binding site region.
