Patent AU-6655281-A (AU)
Title: Refrigerating liquid batches
Inventor: SMITH M VAN BREDA
IPC: F25D17/02
Filed: 1981-01-22
Abstract: Liquid is cooled in a batch mode. A batch of liquid is circulated in a cooling loop (12) until <sup>i</sup>tjs cooled to a desired temperature at which time it is removed from the cooling loop (12) and a new batch is introduced therein. Preferably, the cooled batch is discharged from the cooling loop by the new batch with as little mixing as practicable. The cooling loop has a desired volume determined by a receiver (36) of suitable capacity. A supply accumulator (14) is used to accumulate liquid to be cooled and from which liquid to be cooled is supplied into the cooling loop. Cooled liquid is discharged from the cooling loop into a product accumulator (16). The liquid may be cooled to a temperature close to its freezing point by freezing a minor portion of the liquid in the cooling loop which is then melted by the liquid of the next batch when it is introduced into the cooling loop. The cooling loop is such as to promote plug flow and to reduce backmixing. In a preferred form, the cooling loop has an evaporative cooler (32) which utilises a suitable refrigerant. The refrigerant is evaporated in each cooling cycle, at a progressively reducing pressure and temperature achieved by withdrawing liquid refrigerant from a closed first vessel (92), evaporating it in the cooler (32) to cool the liquid, compressing the vapour refrigerant by means of a compressor (76), condensing the vapour refrigerant in a condenser (80) and feeding the condensate into a further vessel (94). The liquid refrigerant is withdrawn initially into a flash tank (70), vapour being circulated by a pump (72) to the cooler (32). Valves (88,90,100 and 102) are provided to switch the two vessels (92, 94) around at the end of each cooling cycle.

Title: Methods for increasing the efficiency of recombinant aav product
Inventor: SAMULSKI RICHARD J
IPC: C12N7/01
Filed: 1998-04-14
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for increasing the production of high titre stocks of recombinant AAV (rAAV) through regulation of expression of the AAV REP and CAP proteins. The methods and compositions of the invention are based on the observation that the low level expression of the AAV REP protein increases the production of AAV viral capsid protein and efficiency of packaging resulting in production of higher titre recombinant viral stocks. The invention encompasses recombinant AAV vectors that direct the expression of AAV REP and CAP proteins and the use of such vectors for the production of novel stable cell lines capable of generating high titre rAAV vectors. The invention provides methods for regulating the expression of the AAV REP gene at the transcriptional and post-translational level. The methods and compositions of the invention can be used to produce high titre stocks of rAAV which can be used in gene therapy for the purpose of transferring genetic information into appropriate host cells for the management and correction of human diseases including inherited and acquired disorders.

Patent AU-7726394-A (AU)
Title: Annular mask contact lenses
Inventor: MILLER DAVID
IPC: G02C7/04
Filed: 1994-09-13
Abstract: An annular mask contact lens designed to operate with the normal functioning of the human pupil. An annular mask forms a small pinhole-like aperture on the contact lens enabling continual focus correction. The outer diameter of the annular mask allows the wearer to transmit more light energy through the pupil as brightness levels decrease. The contact lens may be structured with two separate and distinct optical corrections, both at the small aperture region and in the region beyond the annular mask. Functional imaging is thus achieved for both bright and dim lighting, and over a wide range of viewing distances. Cosmetic and peripheral vision enhancement is also provided by the contact lens constructed according to the invention.
Patent AU-7728387-A (AU)
Title: Cad of logic circuits: incorporating timimg parameters
Inventor: HOOPER DONALD F
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1987-08-20
Abstract: During the synthesis of a logic circuit in which a plurality circuit components are examined and, in the presence of certain criteria, are changed in accordance with preestablished rules, timing parameters are estimated for selected circuit locations. Forward timing delays are determined by adding the timing delays associated with the intervening circuit components and media paths between an input terminal or latch component output terminals and a successive locations on the signal path. Similarly, a derived budget timing delay constant is calculated by designating a budget or design delay at any location in the circuit and by subtracting timing delays asssociated with the intervening components between that location and the previous location along the signal path in the reverse direction. The derived budget timing delay constant is substracted from the forward timing delay at each selected location to derive a timing debt for each selected location. The timing debt can be used as a criterion to determine when the implementation of circuit component should be changed. The timing information is stored in data structures associated with terminals of components and can include data with respect to a multiplicity of designated paths for complex circuits for which examination of all signal paths requires a prohibitive amount of time, the technique can be used between groups of latches that are activated by timing signals having known signal delays. The resulting timing data can be derived and stored for all latch (input signal and output signal) paths affecting each selected location.

IPC: A61L33/00
Filed: 1991-06-21
Abstract: A surgical tissue bag (301) for percutaneously debulking large volumes of tissue contained within the bag (301). The tissue bag (301) comprises two layers of material, an inner layer of a puncture-resistant material and an outer layer of moisture-proof material for containing cells and fluid therein. The bag (301) material is foldable and flexible for insertion through an access sheath (302) into the surgical site and for forming a gas-tight seal when extended through the access sheath (302) or puncture site. A drawstring (310) is attached to the open end of the bag (301) to close the bag (301) when the tissue is contained therein and pulled through the puncture site in the outer surface of the skin (304). After the closed open end of the bag (301) is pulled through the puncture site, the closed end is fanned out against the outer layer of the skin, and a morcellator is inserted into the bag for debulking the large volume of tissue. The open end of the bag is continully fanned out to maintain a compact and tight containment of the tissue and fluid remaining in the bag. The morcellation process is continued until the entire volume of tissue is removed at which time the remaining portion of the bag (301) is completely removed from the surgical site area.
