Patent AU-2016343893-A1 (AU)
Title: Implant devices with a pre-set pulley system
Inventor: DEISTER CURT
IPC: A61B17/11
Filed: 2016-08-31
Abstract: The problem of positioning one or more nerve ends inside a sheathing implant is solved by the use of a pulley and cinching systems that pull a nerve end into an implant and that can adjust the diameter of an implant to conform the implant to the diameter of the nerve, respectively. The pulley system utilizes a suture that traverses the wall of an implant leaving one end outside the implant wall and another end that can be attached to a nerve. Pulling the suture end outside the wall pulls the nerve attached to the other end of the suture into the bore of the implant. A cinching system utilizes specially arranged sutures within the wall of an implant to tighten or cinch up the wall after a nerve is placed therein, so as to conform at least part of the implant to the diameter of the nerve. Methods are also disclosed by which such pulley systems can be formed during an intraoperative procedure.

Title: Detection of foetal chromosomal aneuploidies using DNA regions that are differentially methylated between the foetus and the pregnant female
Inventor: WERLER STEFFI
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2016-11-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for detecting a chromosomal aneuploidy in a foetus carried by a pregnant female. Such methods are based on one or more of particular configurations and/or detections and/or analyses of two or more regions of DNA, including those that show differential methylation between DNA that originates from cells of a foetus (and/or the placenta of a foetus) and DNA of maternal origin. Such methods utilise a sample taken from said pregnant female, which sample comprises DNA that originates from cells of a foetus and/or the placenta of a foetus in admixture with differently methylated DNA of maternal origin. Such methods have diagnostic, prognostic and/or predictive utility; in particular for the detection/diagnosis of chromosomal aneuploidy, such as a trisomy, in a foetus, and/or for detecting an increased risk of a pregnant female suffering from or developing a pregnancy-associated medical condition. The present invention also relates to compositions, kits, computer program products and other aspects that may be used in, useful for or related to the practice of such methods.

Title: A transaction processing method, apparatus and system
Inventor: OGILVY IAN CHARLES
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2017-12-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to transaction processing, for processing of payments between payer's (usually individual payers) and payee's (usually merchants. 5 Conventionally, a payment transaction involves a user's account details being provided to a merchant device, e.g. by swiping a card in the card swipe of the merchant device. The merchant device then prepares a transaction message including information such as the user's account ID, merchant ID and payment information and forwards that message to a transaction processing system, which may comprise a transaction acquirer 10 and an issuing bank. The transaction processing system approves the payment and returns confirmation to the merchant. In the present invention a device associated with the payer, which in a preferred embodiment is a suitably adapted mobile telephone, becomes involved in the payment transaction process. 15 At one level, the transaction processing system requests from the payer electronic device confirmation that the transaction should proceed and the payer keys in an appropriate PIN to authorise the transaction. At another level, all the transaction processing information is provided from the payer electronic device to the transaction processing system and the transaction 20 processing system or the payer electronic device then confirm that the transaction is authorised to the merchant device. This takes the burden of transaction processing off the merchant and also increases the security of the transaction as the payer is in control. In a further embodiment, the payer electronic device may also upload listings of products and select products at the same time as paying for them, the payee 25 (merchant) being advised of the selected product.
