Patent AU-727338-B2 (AU)
Title: Aerosol dispensing device
Inventor: BACON RAYMOND JOHN
IPC: A61M15/00
Filed: 1998-03-16
Granted: 2000-12-07
Abstract: An aerosol dispenser which comprises of a body including a mouthpiece for inhalation of a substance. The substance is stored in a container, which has a depressable outlet, in a pressurised gaseous or liquid form. The outlet tube releases the dose when depressed towards the container. The depression acts on a depression spring; this is resisted by a pneumatic actuator when an actuator chamber is closed. On compression of the string the dispenser is cocked; when it is compressed for cocking there are means for the air to escape from the chamber. There is an opening into the chamber-this is controlled by a breath actuable valve. This comprises a valve inlet; a valve outlet that is connected to the port; these are connected by a flexible tube which can be in two positions-in the closed position it is kinked and in the open position it is un-kinked. There is a movable member (movably mounted in the body), that is connected to the valve inlet, which moves the tube to control the kinking of the tube. When the movable member is in its rest position the tube is kinked and when the movable member is moved towards the orifice on inhalation the tube is unkinked-this allows air to enter the chamber, the spring acts and releases the dose in the container. <IMAGE>

Title: Categorization automata employing neuronal group selection with reentry
Inventor: EDELMAN GERALD M
IPC: G06V10/764
Filed: 1990-10-10
Granted: 1993-12-02
Abstract: An apparatus capable of sensing the presence of objects in its environment, categorizing these objects without a prior description of the categories to be expected, and controlling robotic effector mechanisms to respond differentially to such objects according to their categories. Such responses include sorting objects, rejecting objects of certain types, and detecting novel or deviant objects. The invention includes a device called a "classification n-tuple" (of which a "classification couple" is a special case) capable of combining signals from two or more sensory modalities to arrive at the classification of the object. The invention operates by simulating certain features of animal nervous system, including neurons with responses determined at each moment of time by inputs received along synaptic connections from sensory means or form other neurons. In this invention, neurons are arranged in "groups", which permits them to act cooperatively while still retaining characteristic individual responses. Groups in turn are arranged in "repertoires", which provide a totality of response specificities sufficient to respond to any of a range of possible input objects. Some of these repertoires are organized as "maps", such that groups responding to inputs that are similar along some dimensional (spatial or abstract) are close together in the repertoire, enabling the repertoire to respond correctly to novel objects that are similar to objects it has encountered previously. Maps in this invention are linked by connections, called "reentrant" connections, that enable the responses of one map to be reentered into the system as inputs to another map. Reentrant connections permit signals from different sensory modalities to be correlated in an ongoing fashion, and they are the basis for the operation of classification n-tuples. The responses of the apparatus of this invention may be improved and optimized for a particular task through the operation of "neuronal group selection", a process which enhances the responses of those neuronal groups in the apparatus which were active in some time interval preceding the production of a useful output action. This process operates by modifying the strength of selected synaptic connections. The value of various output actions is determined, for the purpose of regulating selection, by means which are internal to the apparatus of this invention. Accordingly, the invention is capable of self-organization and learning, and does not require a predetermined specification of correct responses for all possible inputs.

Title: Detection and quantification of one or more target analytes in a sample using spatially localized analyte reproduction
Inventor: WARDLAW STEPHEN C
IPC: G01N33/569
Filed: 2001-11-08
Granted: 2004-10-28
Abstract: The presence or absence of one or more target microbial analytes in a substance, such as a biological or environmental substance, is assayed by inoculating a growth medium with a sample of the substance. The medium may be combined with a labeled analyte-specific material (LASM) which can migrate through the substrate and which is homogeneously distributed throughout the medium. The LASM may be premixed with the medium, or may be added to the medium after inoculation with the substance. The nature of the medium is such that it will support target analyte reproduction so as to form target analyte colonies in or on the medium, and it will not allow the target analyte colonies to migrate on or within the medium. After the sample to be assayed is added to the medium, growth of the target analyte colonies in the sample will bind increasing quantities of the LASM, thereby creating localized intensely labeled areas in the medium which can be visually or photometrically detected. As the target analyte colonies grow on or in the medium they attract increasing quantities of the LASM which diffuses to the colonies through the medium causing the local target analyte colonies to become intensely labeled, which renders the colonies readily detectable. Each of the intensely labeled target analyte colonies in the medium may also be surrounded by areas of lower intensity due to local depletion of the LASM in the regions of colony growth . The number of intensely labeled target analyte colonies in the medium will be proportional to the concentration of the target analyte present in the sample. In the event that the target analyte is absent from the sample, then there will be no localized labeled microbe colonies in the medium. <IMAGE>

Patent DE-1905369-B2 (DE)
Title: DC voltage converter circuit - utilising two switches with variable and fixed mark to space ratio respectively
IPC: H02M3/158
Filed: 1969-02-04
Abstract: The voltage conversion circuit employs two switches. One (S1) is in series with the input (U1) and the other (S2) in quadrature across the output (U2). The controller operates the second switch (S2) at a constant mark/space ratio, whilst the first (S1) can have its operating ratio changed to the extent that the output voltage can be varied from below to above the input value. The circuit contains virtually no phase shift and is therefore easily controlled and stable. It also operates only at the current demanded by the output side load, in contrast to existing circuits where the internal current through the choke (L) is constant. The circuit is thus also more efficient.
