Patent AU-2547492-A (AU)
Title: Child-resistant package having preloaded locking mechanism
IPC: B65D50/04
Filed: 1992-08-27
Abstract: A package for storing and dispensing potentially dangerous materials, such as medicament tablets or the like, said package being resistant to opening by children but readily openable by adults, particularly adults having impaired manual dexterity of their hands and/or fingers. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the package comprises a bottle (12), a collar (32) which is secured in place over the uppermost portion of the bottle (12) and a closure (52) which is secured to the finish portion of the bottle by means of complementary screw threads. The collar (32) preferably includes a pair of resiliently deformable spring-like pushtabs (34) containing vertical extensions (36) which engage interlocking teeth (62) on the innermost surface of the closure skirt (60) when the closure (52) is fully assembled onto the bottle (12). To remove the closure (52), the opposed pushtabs (34) must be manually depressed prior to applying unscrewing torque to the closure (52) to disengage the pushtab extensions (36) from the interlocking teeth (62) on the closure (52). In a particularly preferred embodiment, the spring-like pushtabs (34) are generally outwardly directed prior to application of the closure to the package. Advancing the closure (52) onto the package until the teeth (62) on the innermost surface of the closure's skirt (60) interlock with the vertical extensions (36) of the spring-like pushtabs (34) causes a degree of resilient deformation of the spring-like pushtabs (34) so that the vertical extensions (36) of the pushtabs (34) are in contact with and exert a preloading force against the corresponding innermost surfaces of the closure skirt once the closure has been securely applied to the package. Quite unexpectedly, it has been learned that preloading the vertical extensions of the reiliently deformable spring-like pushtabs against the corresponding innermost surfaces of the closure skirt in the foregoing manner considerably enhances the child resistance of the package without increasing the difficulty of opening for older adults or those having impaired manual dexterity. Methods for producing the improved package are also disclosed.
Patent AU-2593392-A (AU)
Title: Production of chimeric antibodies - a combinatorial approach
IPC: C07K16/00
Filed: 1992-09-23
Abstract: Methods are disclosed which may be used for the production of antibodies, or antibody fragments, which have the same binding specificity as a parent antibody but which have increased human characteristics. Humanised antibodies may be obtained by chain shuffling, perhaps using phage display technology. In one embodiment, a polypeptide comprising a heavy or light chain variable domain of a non-human antibody specific for an antigen of interest is combined with a repertoire of human complementary (light or heavy) chain variable domains. Hybrid pairings which are specific for the antigen of interest are selected. Human chains from the selected pairings may then be combined with a repertoire of human complementary variable domains (heavy or light) and humanised antibody polypeptide dimers can then be selected for binding specificity for antigen. The methods may be combined with CDR-imprinting. In another embodiment, component part of an antigen-binding site of a non-human antibody known to bind a particular antigen is combined with a repertoire of component parts of an antigen-binding site of human antibody, forming a library of antibody polypeptide dimers with antigen-binding sites. Hybrids selected from this library may be used in a second humanising shuffling step, or may already be of sufficient human character to be of value, perhaps after some modification to increase human character still further.

Title: Methods and apparatus for expressing body fluid from an incision
Inventor: DOUGLAS JOEL S
IPC: A61J1/20
Filed: 1997-05-16
Abstract: A fluid sampling apparatus includes a housing member (1) which contains a lancing needle (16) used for piercing skin together with a spring member (11) for urging the needle to protrude form the housing end sufficient to penetrate the skin. A plunger (14) retracts the needle against the spring tension and a trigger member (2) engages the plunger to hold the needle retracted until released by the trigger. Stop and adjustment tabs (19) limit the depth of needle penetration of the skin and a sample container communicating with the needle receives the sample from the needle. Secondary springs retract the needle from the skin and a suction cam and plunger (22) activated upon retraction of the needle draws the sample of fluid which accumulates on the surface of the skin into the sample container.

Title: Procede et dispositif a self integree dans un pont de mesure
Inventor: MONTANT JEAN-MARC
IPC: G01B7/14
Filed: 1997-07-22
Abstract: A method and apparatus for supporting a patient on a mattress. The apparatus includes a mattress which has at least one controlled release chamber with a top face and a bottom face. A flexible film of a thin metal foil is linked to the top face, while at least one impedance varying device is linked to the bottom face of the chamber. The impedance varying device is an integral part of a measuring electronic bridge. Changes in the impedance as a result of movement of the top face with respect to the bottom face activates a servo control which increases or decreases the inflation pressure within the chamber to make certain that the distance between the top face and the bottom face of the chamber is maintained at a predetermined distance. The method of this invention includes the steps of providing a mattress having at least one closed or controlled release chamber having a top face and a bottom face, providing a measurement device which includes a flexible film of a thin metal foil linked to the top face of the chamber and cooperating with at least one impedance varying element linked to the bottom face of the chamber, the impedance varying element being integral with a measuring electronic bridge, and measuring spacing between the top face and the bottom face to provide control of the supporting action of the mattress as a function of the patient's morphology and position on the mattress.

Title: Blood extraction and reinfusion flow control system and method
Inventor: PRINCE PAUL RICHARD
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 1985-06-10
Abstract: A blood extraction and reinfusion flow control system includes a blood pump coupled to pump intravenous fluid to or from a subject, a pressure sensor coupled to sense extra veinous pressure at the subject, and a microprocessor based flow control subsystem. The flow control subsystem optimizes the flow rate by sensing pressure at at least two different fluid flow test points and extrapolating and translating the test point data to generate a flow control curve. The blood pump is then operated at a maximum speed that is limited by a desired maximum flow command and the flow control curve to maximize flow without vein collapse or damage during both blood extraction and reinfusion.
