Title: Vacuum assisted lancing device
Inventor: BRENNEMAN ALLEN J
IPC: A61B17/34
Filed: 2000-01-27
Abstract: A vacuum assisted lancing device (10) for obtaining capillary blood from body sites includes a plunger (12) mounted in a barrel or upper housing (24) that upon being pressed by a user, drives a lancet (18) to puncture skin at a body site. A vacuum member such as a diaphragm (38, 66) or bellows (66) is displaced by the plunger (12) and displaces air in the lancing device (10) to create a vacuum. The vacuum draws skin partially into the lancing device (10) causing blood to form at the puncture. The vacuum is then released and the blood is tested.

Title: Insulin-responsive sequence DNA binding protein-1 (IRSDBP-1), gene encoding it and uses thereof
Inventor: VILLAFUERTE BETTY C
IPC: C07K14/47
Filed: 2000-11-01
Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel protein called Insulin-Responsive Sequence DNA Binding Protein-1 (IRSBP-1) and nucleotide sequences that encode it. IRSBP-1 is capable of binding to nucleic acid regions associated with genes that respond when cells are exposed to insulin or insulin-like factors. IRSBP-1 regulates genes important in mediating the insulin response in humans and animals and in regulating pathological conditions such as diabetes, obesity, insulin-resistant syndrome and cell proliferative disorders. The present invention provides nucleic acids that may be used as probes specific for hybridizing and detecting nucleic acid molecules that encode at least in part a region of the IRSBP-1 protein. Within the scope of the present invention are recombinant cells, tissues and animals containing non-naturally occurring recombinant nucleic acid molecules encoding IRSBP-1, including expression vectors for the expression of IRSBP-1, antibodies to the IRSBP-1 proteins, assays utilizing the IRSBP-1 polypeptide, and methods relating to all of the foregoing. Also within the scope of the present invention is the development of therapeutic and diagnostic agents that mimic, facilitate or inhibit the action of IRSBP-1, and/or are based on relationships to the structure and action of IRSBP-1.

Patent AU-2737195-A (AU)
Title: Plastic screw closure cap for a bottle or similar vessel
Inventor: BREUER HANS-WERNER
IPC: B65D41/34
Filed: 1995-06-06
Abstract: Described is a plastic screw cap (1) for a bottle or similar vessel, the cap having a cylindrical part (3) with an internal thread (4) designed to be screwed on to an external thread (5) on the neck (6) of the bottle. The cylindrical part of the cap is joined by thin rated break points (10) to a warranty ring (11) adjacent to the rim of this part. Located on the ring are inwards-facing tongue-shaped projections (12) designed to clip in behind a bulge (13) running round the outside of the bottle neck (6). Located on the inside of the warranty ring (11), next to the clip-in projections, are tongues (14) which face each other round the circumference and are inclined in at an angle towards the inside. When the cap is screwed on, these tongues (14) lie directly against the outside surface of the bottle neck, thus preventing a thin tool, e.g. a thin-bladed knife, from being pushed under the clip-in projections (12) and moved round the outside of the bottle neck in order to move the clip-in projections (12) slowly over the bulge running round the bottle neck, at the same time screwing the cap on further, without the rated break points breaking. When the tool begins to move round the outside of the bottle neck, it immediately becomes caught behind the first tongue (14). Since the tongues (14) lie at an angle against the bottle neck, some pointing in one direction and some in the other direction, tampering with the cap in this way is impossible in either direction round the bottle neck.

Title: Polarization transformer and current sensor using the same
Inventor: DYOTT RICHARD B
IPC: H01S5/065
Filed: 2000-02-10
Abstract: A method for fabricating a transformer of linearly polarized light to elliptically polarized light is disclosed. The method involves twisting a birefringent fiber through angles that depend on the desired final polarization. This technique obviates the need to splice fibers, as in common practice. The polarization can be fine-tuned by heating the fiber to cause the core and the cladding of the fiber to interdiffuse. Also disclosed is a current sensor using the transformer of polarized light which is based on the Faraday Effect in a Sagnac interferometer.
