Patent NZ-332463-A (NZ)
Title: Telecommunications system simultaneously receiving and modulating an optical signal using electro-absorption modulator
Inventor: WESTBROOK LESLIE DAVID
IPC: H04W88/08
Filed: 1997-07-21
Abstract: This method is for operating an optical communications network, where a terminal in the optical communications network can simultaneously receive and modulate an optical signal. An optical signal is detected at one node of the system by an electro-absorption modulator, then using the electro-absorption modulator an information carrying modulation is imposed onto the received optical signal and the signal is sent to a further node.  The terminal includes an optical modulator which is controlled by varying the bias voltage applied to it.

Title: Gel formulation containing poloxamer compound for use in the prevention of pathogen induced diseases including HIV and HSV
Inventor: BERGERON MICHEL G
IPC: A61K31/765
Filed: 1997-05-09
Abstract: A formulation comprising film-forming components capable of forming per se a physical barrier to pathogens. Thermoreversible gels such as poloxamers are particularly preferred for that use. The film-forming formulations may further comprise microbicides, spermicides or any other drug, which choice is guided by the pathogen, organism or the disease to be inactivated or treated. The formulations are therefore efficient as a physical, and optionally, as a chemical or pharmacological barrier as well as usable as a sustained drug-release system at the locus of administration. A part of the drug may also be entrapped in liposomes or other drug carriers. These formulations are intended for use in the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, as well as in the treatment of infections, cancer, inflammation or any disease or state which requires a pharmacological treatment. Formulations are applicable to mucosae, skin and eye, for example.
