Patent AU-4292285-A (AU)
Title: Bleach products
Inventor: TAI HO TAN
IPC: C11D3/39
Filed: 1985-04-25
Abstract: A bleach product for use in the washing machine as an adjunct to a normal detergent powder or liquid comprises a closed bag containing a particulate bleach composition, the bag being formed of sheet material having pores large enough to render it water-permeable but small enough to confine the bleach composition within the bag. The bleach composition comprises sodium perborate with an activator : such as tetraacetyl ethylenebiamine or sodium octanoyloxybenzene sulphonate. Preferably at least 25 mole per cent of the perborate is in monohydrate form: this gives reduced malodour development on short storage.
Patent AU-4387499-A (AU)
Title: Apparatus for producing orthohydrogen and/or parahydrogen
Inventor: CHAMBERS STEPHEN BARRIE
IPC: C25B9/17
Filed: 1999-06-21
Abstract: An apparatus for producing orthohydrogen and/or parahydrogen. The apparatus includes a container holding water and at least one pair of closely-spaced electrodes arranged within the container and submerged in the water. A first power supply provides a particular first pulsed signal to the electrodes. A coil may also be arranged within the container and submerged in the water if the production of parahydrogen is also required. A second power supply provides a second pulsed signal to the coil through a switch to apply energy to the water. When the second power supply is disconnected from the coil by the switch and only the electrodes receive a pulsed signal, then orthohydrogen can be produced. When the second power supply is connected to the coil and both the electrodes and coil receive pulsed signals, then the first and second pulsed signals can be controlled to produce parahydrogen. The container is self-pressurized and the water within the container requires no chemical catalyst to efficiently produce the orthohydrogen and/or parahydrogen. Heat is not generated, and bubbles do not form on the electrodes.

Patent AU-5542201-A (AU)
Title: Gains quantization for a clep speech coder
Inventor: GAO YANG
IPC: H03M7/36
Filed: 2001-04-16
Abstract: A speech encoder that analyzes and classifies each frame of speech as being periodic-like speech or non-periodic like speech where the speech encoder performs a different gain quantization process depending if the speech is periodic or not. If the speech is periodic, the improved speech encoder obtains the pitch gains from the unquantized weighted speech signal and performs a pre-vector quantization of the adaptive codebook gain GP for each subframe of the frame before subframe processing begins and a closed-loop delayed decision vector quantization of the fixed codebook gain GC. If the frame of speech is non-periodic, the speech encoder may use any known method of gain quantization. The result of quantizing gains of periodic speech in this manner results in a reduction of the number of bits required to represent the quantized gain information and for periodic speech, the ability to use the quantized pitch gain for the current subframe to search the fixed codebook for the fixed codebook excitation vector for the current subframe. Alternatively, the new gain quantization process which was used only for periodic signals may be extended to non-periodic signals as well. This second strategy results in a slightly higher bit rate than that for periodic signals that use the new gain quantization strategy, but is still lower than the prior art's bit rate. Yet another alternative is to use the new gain quantization process for all speech signals without distinguishing between periodic and non-periodic signals.
Patent AU-5791798-A (AU)
Title: Endolumenal stent-graft with leak-resistant seal
Inventor: THORNTON TROY
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 1997-12-09
Abstract: An implantable medical device has a tubular member and a sealing member secured to an outer surface of the tubular member. The tubular member is expandable to engage an endolumenal wall and has a lumen for providing an artificial conduit for flow through an endolumenal space defined by that wall. The seal member occludes flow around the tubular member between the outer surface and the endolumenal wall. One suitable tubular member for use in the present invention is a stent-graft which may be bifurcated for use in protecting vascular wall malformations adjacent to vascular bifurcations against endolumenal pressure and flow. The seal member may be a flange that is oriented on the outer surface at one end of the tubular member as a one-way valve against flow. Multiple seal members may be used, either on opposite ends of the tubular member or in series at one end thereof. Where anchors are used to secure the tubular member to the endolumenal wall, the seal member is positioned to protect against flow through leakage paths formed at localized areas of deformation in the tubular wall adjacent to the anchors. One or more seal members may also be used with two or more tubular members to prevent flow through endolumenal spaces that remain open to flow due to gaps between the multiple, parallel tubular members.

Title: Improved method for the refolding of proteins
Inventor: THOGERSEN HANS CHRISTIAN
IPC: C07K14/705
Filed: 1994-02-04
Abstract: A novel, generally applicable method for producing correctly folded proteins from a mixture of misfolded proteins, e.g. bacterial inclusion-body aggregates. A major new aspect of the method is that over-all efficiency is achieved by subjecting proteins to a time-sequence of multiple denaturation-renaturation cycles, resulting in gradual accumulation of the correctly folded protein. The method has proven efficient for a variety of recombinant proteins. Also provided are novel encrypted recognition sites for bovine coagulation factor Xa. The encrypted recognition sites described may be activated in vitro by controlled oxidation or by reversible derivatization of cysteine residues and thereby generate new cleavage sites for factor Xa. Two new recombinant serine protease exhibiting narrow substrate specificity for factor Xa recognition sites are also provided. They may replace natural coagulation factor Xa for cleavage of chimeric proteins.

Title: Recombinant cells that highly express chromosomally- integrated heterologous genes
Inventor: INGRAM LONNIE O
IPC: C12N1/21
Filed: 1996-08-08
Abstract: Recombinant host cells are obtained that comprise (A) a heterologous, polypeptide-encoding polynucleotide segment, stably integrated into a chromosome, which is under transcriptional control of an endogenous promoter and (B) a mutation that effects increased expression of the heterologous segment, resulting in enhanced production by the host cells of each polypeptide encoded by that segment, relative to production of each polypeptide by the host cells in the absence of the mutation. The increased expression thus achieved is retained in the absence of conditions that select for cells displaying such increased expression. When the integrated segment comprises, for example, ethanol-production genes from an efficient ethanol producer like Zymomonas mobilis, recombinant Escherichia coli and other enteric bacterial cells within the present invention are capable of converting a wide range of biomass-derived sugars efficiently to ethanol.
