Patent AU-2003222213-A1 (AU)
Title: Metal reinforced biodegradable intraluminal stents
Inventor: CHANDRASEKARAN CHANDRU
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2003-02-13
Abstract: The present invention provides an intraluminal stent comprising a metallic reinforcing component and a biodegradable polymeric material covering at least a portion of the metallic reinforcing component. The metallic reinforcing component provides structural reinforcement for the stent, but this reinforcement is insufficient, in the absence of the biodegradable polymeric material, to provide a stent capable of maintaining patency of a lumen upon implantation of the stent into the lumen. One advantage of the present invention, among others, is that a stent is provided in which reduced amounts of metallic component remain after degradation of the biodegradable polymeric material covering, in turn reducing the incidence of metal-associated adverse events that frequently follow implantation.

Title: Reconstruction of the spectrum of an audiosignal with incomplete spectrum based on frequency translation
Inventor: TRUMAN MICHAEL MEAD
IPC: G10L21/02
Filed: 2003-03-21
Abstract: A method for generating a reconstructed signal comprises: receiving a signal containing data representing a baseband signal derived from an audio signal and an estimated spectral envelope; obtaining from the data a frequency-domain representation of the baseband signal, the frequency-domain representation comprising baseband spectral components; obtaining a regenerated signal comprising regenerated spectral components by copying into individual subbands the lowest-frequency baseband spectral components to a lower edge of a respective subband and continuing through the baseband spectral components in a circular manner to complete a translation for that respective subband; and obtaining a time-domain representation of the reconstructed signal corresponding to a combination of the baseband spectral components, the regenerated spectral components and the estimated spectral envelope.

Title: Method for the isolation of expressed sequence tags in plants
Inventor: CELLINI FRANCESCO
IPC: C12N15/10
Filed: 2003-06-26
Abstract: A method is described for the isolation of Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) which are based on the use of suitable quantities of 5-azaCytidine in the germination phase of plants to induce the demethylation phenomenon of the DNA. In this way, it is possible to obtain "totipotent" seedlings, i.e. capable of expressing as many genes as possible regardless of the development phase of the plant and isolating said genes by the synthesis of a single cDNA library.

Title: Physically and chemically emulsified hydrocarbon water separator for ships' bilges
Inventor: PEREIRA JOSE SAAVEDRA
IPC: B01D17/028
Filed: 2005-08-19
Abstract: This equipment consists of a gravimetric separation unit (1) and a cross-flow emulsion breaker membrane separation unit (5). The hydrocarbon water to be treated reaches the separation unit (1) from a storage tank (21), by means of a suction pump (4) which impels the hydrocarbon-free water coming from that unit(1) towards the separation unit (5), where the emulsion separation takes place through the emulsion breaker membrane (6); the main peculiarity laying on the fact that the hydrocarbons coming from this unit (5) are sent through a conduit (11) towards the separation unit (1), therefore reaching a top receptacle (12) together with the free hydrocarbons obtained from the latter unit, to be expelled outwards through a conduit (15). This equipment is aimed at separating free hydrocarbon and emulsified hydrocarbon from a water stream.

Title: Traction-pressure rod
Inventor: UHL ALBERT
IPC: F16C7/06
Filed: 2005-10-19
Abstract: A threaded device is embodied in the form of an anti-twisting stop which is rotatably connected to a traction-pressure rod. Two oppositely located ratchet devices are connected by a body to stop the traction-pressure rod in several rotational positions with a predetermined locking force and, afterwards, to release it each time. The threaded device facilitates the mounting of the traction-pressure rod by the fact that the twisting should not be locked by additional handling, thereby making it possible to carry out a fine adjustment without additional measures. The ratchet device comprises, for example, two ratchet elements provided with one or several catch lugs or a metal or plastic ring part on one side and a gear rim on the other side. In addition, the threaded device can be provided with a spring element and a second anti-noise threaded device.
