Patent AU-3534295-A (AU)
Title: Liquid charging nozzle plate
Inventor: SASAKI MASANORI
IPC: B65B3/06
Filed: 1995-09-26
Abstract: A liquid charging nozzle plate (10) comprising a plate body provided with a plurality of through holes (11). This liquid charging nozzle plate (10) is used by fixing the same to a lower end opening of a liquid charging tube (67). The outflow of a liquid with which the liquid charging tube (67) is filled is prevented owing to the surface tension of the liquid in the through holes (11) of the liquid charging nozzle plate (10). On an inner circumferential surface (13) of each through hole (11), projections (15) are provided which extend in the circumferential direction so that the inner diameter of the through hole (11) decreases. Owing to the cross-sectional shape of this through hole (11), the dripping of the liquid from the through hole (11) can be prevented effectively. Even when the through holes (51) are formed cross-sectionally to an elongated slit-like shape, the dripping of a liquid therefrom can also be prevented effectively.   <IMAGE>

Title: Connecting device and method of connection
Inventor: ANDERBERG NILS-ERIC
IPC: B64F1/305
Filed: 1995-09-14
Abstract: One end of a passenger bridge or a goods-handling device of mobile type can be expediently and securely connected to a door on a craft, especially an aircraft, by determining the position of the door in relation to a reference point on the craft and storing it in a computer system. Furthermore, the absolute position of the door when the craft has come to a halt and the passenger bridge or the goods-handling device is to be connected, is determined by measuring the distance from a reference point on the ground to the craft. Finally, the computer system guides the passenger bridge to the door of the craft, the position of the end of the passenger bridge or the goods-handling device being determined during the guiding operation and inputted into the computer system. To further shorten the connection time, the passenger bridge or the goods-handling device is advantageously guided to an initial position of connection in the vicinity of the craft, in which position the end of the passenger bridge or the goods-handling device is aligned with the expected position of the door and disposed at a small distance therefrom, before the craft has come to a halt.

Patent AU-3897495-A (AU)
Title: Compositions for the detection of proteases in biological samples and methods of use thereof
Inventor: KOMORIYA AKIRA
IPC: C12Q1/37
Filed: 1995-10-27
Abstract: The present invention provides for novel reagents whose fluorescence increases in the presence of particular proteases. The reagents comprise a characteristically folded peptide backbone each end of which is conjugated to a fluorophore. When the folded peptide is cleaved, as by digestion with a protease, the fluorophores provide a high intensity fluorescent signal at a visible wavelength. Because of their high fluorescence signal in the visible wavelengths, these protease indicators are particularly well suited for detection of protease activity in biological samples, in particular in frozen tissue sections. Thus this invention also provides for methods of detecting protease activity in situ in frozen sections.

Patent AU-5137993-A (AU)
Title: Brain-enhanced delivery of neuroactive peptides by sequential metabolism
Inventor: BODOR NICHOLAS S
IPC: C07K5/083
Filed: 1993-09-17
Abstract: The invention provides novel peptide derivatives which are designed to deliver pharmacologically active peptides into the central nervous system by sequential metabolism. The peptide is placed in a molecular environment which disguises its peptide nature and provides biolabile, lipophilic functions to penetrate the blood-brain barrier by passive transport. The design incorporates a dihydropyridine-type redox targetor moiety, an amino acid or di- or -tripeptide spacer inserted between the targetor and N-terminal amino acid unit of the peptide and a bulky, lipophilic substituent protecting the C-terminal amino acid unit of the peptide. The dihydropyridine-type targetor undergoes an enzymatically mediated oxidation to a hydrophilic, membrane-impermeable pyridinium salt. That polar targetor-peptide conjugate is trapped behind the lipoidal blood-brain barrier. Over time, cleavage of the lipophilic ester from the peptide by esterase and or lipase enzymes and enzymatic cleavage of the targetor-spacer from the peptide results in release of the desired peptide in the brain.
