Patent AU-4027699-A (AU)
Title: Axial ejection in a multipole mass spectrometer
Inventor: HAGER JAMES
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 1999-06-01
Abstract: A method of operating a mass spectrometer having an elongated multipole rod set, in which a two dimensional RF field radially contains trapped ions in a mass to charge range of interest, and in which the ions are contained axially by a barrier field on an end lens and to which a low voltage DC is applied. Trapped ions are axially mass selectively ejected by taking advantage of the mixing of the degrees of freedom induced by the fringing fields and other anti-harmonicities in the vicinity of the end lens. Thus, ions can be mass selectively ejected at the exit end at the same time as ions are being admitted into the entrance end of the rod set, thereby taking better advantage of the ion flux from a continuous ion source. The axial mass selective ejection is performed by applying an auxiliary AC voltage to the end lens, or to the rods themselves, or both, and by scanning either the auxiliary AC voltage or the RF voltage on the rod set. Trapped ions can be concentrated near the exit lens by applying an axial field in the direction of the lens, or can be depleted by applying the axial field in the opposite direction. The axial field can be oscillated to dissociate trapped ions.

Title: Prosthetic spinal disc nucleus having selectively coupled bodies
Inventor: NORTON BRITT K
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2000-04-07
Abstract: A prosthetic spinal disc nucleus comprising a first prosthetic body, a second prosthetic body and a coupling means. The first and second prosthetic bodies each have sufficient structural integrity for maintaining a desired separation between an opposing pair of vertebrae and a volume that is less than a volume of the nucleus cavity. The coupling means selectively associates the first prosthetic body with the second prosthetic body. During use, the first prosthetic body is inserted into a nucleus cavity through an opening in an anulus. The coupling means is configured such that the second prosthetic body does not impede insertion of the first prosthetic body. The second prosthetic body is similarly implanted. Following implant, the coupling means relatively fixes the first and second prosthetic bodies to prevent subsequent movement of the prosthetic spinal disc nucleus, or any portion thereof, back through the opening in the anulus.

Patent AU-4819301-A (AU)
Title: Antimicrobial bioabsorbable materials
Inventor: BURRELL ROBERT EDWARD
IPC: A61K33/24
Filed: 2001-04-17
Abstract: The invention provides bioabsorbable materials with antimicrobial coatings or powders which provide an effective and sustainable antimicrobial effect. Specifically, this invention provides bioabsorbable materials comprising a bioabsorbable substrate associated with one or more antimicrobial metals being in a crystalline form characterized by sufficient atomic disorder, such that the bioabsorbable material in contact with an alcohol or water based electrolyte, releases atoms, ion, molecules, or clusters of at least one antimicrobial metal at a concentration sufficient to provide an antimicrobial effect. The one or more antimicrobial metals do not interfere with the bioabsorption of the bioabsorbable material, and do not leave behind particulates larger than 2 mum, as measured 24 hours after. The bioabsorbable material has disappeared. Most preferably, the particulate sizing from the coating or powder is sub-micron that is less than about 1 mum, as measured 24 hours after the bioabsorbable material has disappeared. Particulates are thus sized to avoid deleterious immune responses or toxic effects. Such antimicrobial metals are in the form of a continuous or discontinuous coating, a powder, or a coating on a bioabsorbable powder. The antimicrobial coating is thin, preferably less than 900 nm or more preferably less than 500 nm, and very fine grained, with a grain size (crystallite size) of preferably less than 100 nm, more preferably less than 40 nm, and most preferably less than 20 nm. The antimicrobial coating is formed of an antimicrobial metal, which is overall crystalline, but which is created with atomic disorder, and preferably also having either or both of a) a high oxygen content, as evidenced by a rest potential greater than about 225 mV, more preferably greater than about 250 mV, in 0.15 M Na2CO3 against a SCE (standard calomel electrode), or b) discontinuity in the coating. The antimicrobial metal associated with the bioabsorbable substrate may also be in the form of a powder, having a particle size of less than 100 mum, or preferably less than 40 mum, and with a grain size (crystallite size) of preferably less than 100 nm, more preferably less than 40 nm, and most preferably less than 20 nm, Such powders may be prepared as a coating preferably of the above thickness, onto powdered biocompatible and bioabsorbable substrates; as a nanocrystalline coating and converted into a powder; or as a powder of the antimicrobial metal which is cold worked to impart atomic disorder. Methods of preparing the above antimicrobial bioabsorbable materials are thus also provided.

Date Apr. 24, 1986.A spray cooling system for cooling a furnace for the melting or treatment of molten metal, and particularly the roof and/or sidewall of electric-arc, plasma-arc and ladle furnaces. Other types of metal treating furnaces and accessory equipment may also be cooled with the system of the invention. In the invention, spray headers and pipes (14, 16, 18) supply coolant to spray nozzles (70) distributed within a coolant space in a roof structure (10) to spray coolant against the working plates (22) of the roof. The spray pipes and headers also comprise part of the framework for the roof, resulting in a simple, lightweight, one-piece structure. A pump (56) is connected to evacuate the coolant from the coolant space, and thermocouples (58) are embedded in the working plates to monitor their temperature and operate controls to adjust the flow rate so that only the amount of coolant necessary to maintain a desired temperature is supplied to the roof. The sprays of coolant produce many small droplets which provide a large surface area for more effective cooling, and at least a substantial portion of the droplets are vaporized during cooling whereby the latent heat of vaporization of the coolant is utilized to provide a significantly increased cooling rate. Similar arrangements may be used to cool the delta and/or sidewall of the furnace. The method of cooling a furnace by directing sprays of coolant against the working plates is also disclosed.

Title: Methods and apparatus for improving adaptive filter performance by inclusion of inaudible information
Inventor: RASMUSSON JIM
IPC: G10L21/0208
Filed: 2000-05-23
Abstract: Adaptive filtering algorithm training signals incorporate adaptation-enhancing signals having properties, such as spectral whiteness and rapidly decaying auto-correlation between samples, which allow the adaptive filtering algorithms to converge more quickly as compared to conventional algorithms. Exemplary adaptation-enhancing signals are incorporated such that the training signals are not perceptibly altered as compared to conventional training signals. For example, in a hands-free telephony application, an adaptation-enhancing signal according to the invention is dynamically tailored so that it is masked by a loudspeaker signal (the conventional training signal) and is thus inaudible to hands-free telephone users.

Patent AU-5740196-A (AU)
Title: Oxygen activatable formulations for disinfection or sterilization
Inventor: ALLEN ROBERT C
IPC: A01N63/00
Filed: 1996-05-09
Abstract: Methods and compositions are disclosed for producing air-activated, i.e., oxygen (O2) activated, disinfectant-sterilent solutions. Solutions containing a haloperoxidase (i.e., a halide:hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) oxidoreductase, such as myeloperoxidase, eosinophil peroxidase or lactoperoxidase) plus a halide or combination of halides (i.e., chloride, bromide and/or iodide), an oxidase (i.e., a substrate:O2 oxidoreductase) capable of generating H2O2, and a substrate specific for that oxidase, are separately prepared under aerobic conditions, but all of the component solutions are made anaerobic prior to final combination and mixing. The anaerobic formulations are dispensed into containers capable of maintaining the anaerobic condition (e.g., pressurized canisters). Dispensing the solution at the time of use exposes the formulation to air (i.e., O2) which activates its disinfectant-sterilent properties. O2 is the rate limiting component for oxidase generation of H2O2. Under aerobic conditions the oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of its substrate and the reduction of O2 to generate H2O2. In turn, H2O2 serves as substrate for haloperoxidase which catalyzes the oxidation of halide to hypohalous acid. Hypohalous acid reacts with an additional H2O2 to generate singlet molecular oxygen (1O2). Hypohalous acid (e.g., hypochlorous acid) and especially 1O2 are potent microbicidal agents. Both haloperoxidase generation of hypohalous acid and its reactive consumption to yield 1O2 are dependent on the availability of H2O2. A high rate of H2O2 generation does not result in the accumulation of hypohalous acid, but instead results in a high rate of 1O2 production. The microbicidal capacity and toxicity of 1O2 are limited by the half-life of this metastable electronically excited reactant, and as such, disinfectant-sterilent activity is temporally defined by and confined to the dynamics of oxidant generation. The disinfectant-sterilent activity of formulation requires air exposure and is dependent on the presence of the halide-haloperoxidase combination employed, the activity of the oxidase present, the availability of oxidase-specific substrate and the availability of O2.
