Patent AU-654992-B2 (AU)
Title: Communication system
Inventor: MARSH MICHAEL JOHN CAMILLE
IPC: H04L12/403
Filed: 1992-01-02
Granted: 1994-12-01
Abstract: A communication system comprises a control station (10) and a number of remote stations (16,18,30,32) connected to the control station by a multi-conductor harness (20). The control station houses a computer and supplies the remote stations with electrical power, as well as communicating bidirectionally with the remote stations, via the harness. At each remote station, a sensor or other functional module (32) is plugged into an interface (30,40). Communication circuitry (30,36) receives data from and sends data to the control station. The remote station includes identification means (40,42,46) for storing a first code allocated to the remote station by the central computer which identifies the relative location of the remote station, as well as a second code generated at the remote station which identifies the function of the sensor or other functional module. <IMAGE>

Title: Methods for modulation of cholesterol transport
Inventor: KRIEGER MONTY
IPC: C12N15/85
Filed: 1996-11-15
Granted: 2001-02-22
Abstract: Methods for regulation of lipid and cholesterol uptake are described which are based on regulation of the expression or function of the SR-BI HDL receptor. The examples demonstrate that estrogen dramatically downregulates SR-BI under conditions of tremendous upregulation of the LDL-receptor. The examples also demonstrate the upregulation of SR-BI in rat adrenal membranes and other non-placental steroidogenic tissues from animals treated with estrogen, but not in other non-placental non-steroidogenic tissues, including lung, liver, and skin. Examples further demonstrate the uptake of fluorescently labeled HDL into the liver cells of animal, which does not occur when the animals are treated with estrogen.

Title: Retinoid receptor compositions, antibodies and methods
Inventor: MANGELSDORF DAVID JOHN
IPC: C12N15/12
Filed: 1995-02-03
Granted: 1997-07-31
Abstract: The present invention relates to novel receptor polypeptides, which, upon interaction with certain ligands, or activation by certain compounds, modulate transcription of certain genes by binding to cognate response elements associated with promoters of such genes. The novel receptors of the invention modulate transcription in the presence of retinoid compounds. The receptors of the present invention differ significantly from known retinoid acid receptors, in protein primar yseqence and in responsiveness to exposure to various retinoids. The invention provides DNAs encoding the novel receptors, expression vectors for expression of the receptors, cells transformed with such expression vectors, cells co-transformed with such expression vectors and with reporter vectors to monitor modulation of transcription by the receptors, and methods of using such co-transformed cells in screening for compounds which are capable, directly or indirectly, of activating the receptors. The invention also provides nucleic acid probes for identifying DNAs which encode additional retinoid receptors of the same class as the novel receptors disclosed herein.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB92/00424 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 8, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 8, 1993 PCT Filed Mar. 10, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/16636 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 1, 1992The invention provides a recombinant virus vector for use as an immunotherapeutic or vaccine. The recombinant virus vector comprises at least one pair of nucleotide sequences heterologous to the virus and which have sufficient sequence homology that recombination between them might be expected. The pair of nucleotide sequences are arranged in the virus vector such that they are inverted with respect to each other. The virus vector is able to infect a mammalian host cell and express as polypeptide the heterologous nucleotide sequences in the host cell. For infection thought to be caused by HPV infection, the pair of nucleotide sequences encode part or all of human papillomavirus (HPV) wild-type proteins or mutant proteins immunologically cross-reactive therewith. For an immunotherapeutic or vaccine against cervical cancer, the recombinant virus vector encodes part or all of the HPV wild-type proteins HPV16E7 and HPV18E7 or mutant proteins immunologically cross-reactive therewith.

Patent AU-598675-B2 (AU)
Title: Probe for determination of gas concentration in molten metal
Inventor: DUBE GHYSLAIN
IPC: G01N33/20
Filed: 1988-05-27
Granted: 1990-06-28
Abstract: The invention provides a new immersion head probe for use in apparatus for the determination of the concentration of gas dissolved in a molten metal. Such determinations are needed to facilitate removal of the gas, which can cause bubbles in the solidified metal and subsequent processing difficulties. The apparatus circulates an inert carrier gas through the probe in gas exchange contact with the molten metal to entrain dissolved gas until an equilibrium mixture is obtained; the concentration of the dissolved gas in the mixture then is representative of its concentration in the molten metal. The head consists of a monolithic or integral body of a porous gas-permeable material of sufficient mechanical strength at the temperature of the molten metal and of sufficient porosity, pore size and permeability to permit the necessary gas diffusion in a reasonable period of time. The body of the probe preferably is thin in one direction to minimize the path length for the gas to diffuse therein, and is provided with a carrier gas inlet and outlet suitably spaced apart to ensure that the gas diffuses throughout the body. If the test is to be carried out in a stationary body of molten metal, the probe may be vibrated or the metal may be stirred to increase the probe/metal contact, both decreasing the time required for the gas mixture to reach sufficient equilibrium.
