Title: Refining aluminium: gas bubbles dispersed into liquid metal through impeller in lower part of holding vessel
Inventor: WAITE PETER DONALD
IPC: C22B21/06
Filed: 1989-06-12
Abstract: An apparatus and process are described for treating molten metal. The invention comprises: (a) a heated vessel (10) having inlet (11) and outlet (12) means for the continuous flow of molten metal downwardly through the vessel (10), (b) a perforated plate (16) extending horizontally across the vessel dividing it into an upper treatment section and a lower treatment section, this plate forming an intermediate treatment section, and (c) a device for injecting gas in the form of small discrete bubbles into the metal in the lower treatment section, this device comprising a hollow rotatable shaft (20) extending downwardly through an opening (30) in the plate (16) with drive means coupled to the upper end of the shaft (20), a vaned rotor (22) fixedly attached to the lower end of the shaft within the lower treatment section, with one or more passageways within the rotor for conducting gas from the interior of the shaft to the metal in the lower treatment section. When the gas is discharged through the rotor (22) and the rotor (22) is rotated, the gas is injected into the metal in the form of small discrete bubbles (61) which are uniformly dispersed within the lower treatment section. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the gas bubbles move from the rotor upwardly and outwardly in a generally conical pattern (60) to be distributed across the bottom of the perforated plate (16) and pass upwardly through the perforations thereof.

Title: Use of trans-splicing ribozymes for genetic modification and cell ablation in a host cell
Inventor: HASELOFF JAMES
IPC: C07K7/06
Filed: 1992-01-15
Abstract: The polynucleotide molecule encoding a trans-splicing ribozyme may be used in a medicament for the genetic modification and/or cell death of targeted cells.  The sequence of the ribozyme comprises: (i) a first RNA sequence sufficient for targeting the ribozyme to hybridize to a target mRNA and (ii) a second RNA sequence capable of being transferred colinearly into a target mRNA as a result of the trans-splicing activity of the ribozyme.  Expression of the polynucleotide molecule is operably linked to expression of a transcriptional activator protein, such as Gal4.  The first RNA sequence hybridizes to an RNA that encodes the transcriptional activator protein.  An example of a suitable protein is Gal4.  The second RNA sequence encodes a peptide toxic to the host cell, for example diphtheria toxin A.

Title: Probe for electrosurgical myocardial revascularisation using high frequency voltage
Inventor: EGGERS PHILIP E
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1996-11-22
Abstract: A method for trans-myocardial revascularization of the heart of a patient includes positioning an active electrode surface (82) close proximity to a target site on the wall of a patient's heart, and applying high frequency voltage between the active voltage surface (82) and a return electrode (56) to ablate tissue at the heart wall. The high frequency voltage ablates, i.e., volumetrically removes the heart tissue, and the electrode surface (82) is axially translated into the space vacated by the removed tissue to bore a channel through the heart tissue. The active electrode surface (82) may be introduced into the thoracic cavity and placed adjacent the epicardium to form an inward channel toward the ventricular cavity of the heart and positioned adjacent the endocardium to form a channel extending outward towards the epicardium. In either case, the channels formed through the myocardium promote direct communication between blood with the ventricular cavity and that of existing myocardial vasculature to increase blood flow to the heart tissue. <IMAGE>
