Patent AU-738905-B2 (AU)
Title: A gas hob
Inventor: ESKILDSEN CHRISTIAN
IPC: F24C3/08
Filed: 1997-06-16
Granted: 2001-09-27
Abstract: A traditional gas burner for a hob is centrally located below a support grille and surrounded by a dish-shaped depression for spillage. Control of the power of the burner is usually only by the control of the total gas supply, even though the burner provides a large number of small flames. The invention provides efficient means of controlling each individual flame (F1a-F4a, F1b-F4b) via individual pipes to orifices, and the required space for this is provided by directing the flames from the outside and towards the center of the cooking vessel. The orifices are placed in the sides of channels providing air supply and exhaust of burnt gases. The channels are formed in what is otherwise a large flat top (A1-A9) of the hob.

Title: Membrane incorporation of texaphyrins
Inventor: YOUNG STUART W
IPC: A61K41/00
Filed: 1997-06-04
Granted: 2000-12-07
Abstract: Compositions having a texaphyrin-lipophilic molecule conjugate loaded into a biological vesicle and methods for imaging, diagnosis and treatment using the loaded vesicle are provided. For example, liposomes or red blood cells loaded with a paramagnetic texaphyrin-lipophilic molecule conjugate have utility as a blood pool contrast agent, facilitating the enhancement of normal tissues, magnetic resonance angiography, and marking areas of damaged endothelium by their egress through fenestrations or damaged portions of the blood vascular system. Liposomes or cells loaded with a photosensitive texaphyrin-lipophilic molecule conjugate can be photolysed, allowing for a photodynamic therapy effect at the site of lysis. Availability of red blood cells loaded with a photosensitive texaphyrin-lipophilic molecule conjugate provides a method for delivering a photodynamic therapeutic agent to a desired site with a high concentration of oxygen. By presenting the agent in this way, it is expected that a patient will experience less toxicity.        00000

Patent AU-713558-B2 (AU)
Title: Laser demolding apparatus and method
Inventor: WALKER CRAIG WILLIAM
IPC: B29C33/44
Filed: 1996-04-23
Granted: 1999-12-02
Abstract: An automated demolding apparatus for mechanically separating contact lens mold portions of a mold assembly. The mold assembly includes a first front mold portion having a central mold section with a surrounding flange, and a corresponding second back mold portion also having a central mold section with a surrounding flange, with a molded contact lens being formed between the front and back mold portions. The demolding apparatus includes restraining fingers positioned between and on opposite sides of the spaced flanges of the first and second mold portions and against the flange of the first mold portion. A separating fixture includes separating fingers positioned between and on opposite sides of the spaced flanges of the first and second mold portions and against the flange of the second mold portion. Before demolding, the second mold portion is irradiated by a laser beam, which is absorbed thereby to cause a substantial temperature gradient between the second mold portion and the contact lens being demolded. The temperature gradient causes a differential expansion and shifting of the surface of the heated second mold portion relative to the surface of the lens to lessen the adhesion therebetween to assist in separation of the mold portions, while leaving the lens in the first mold portion. During demolding, the separating fixture is subjected to a substantially vertical prying motion relative to the restraining fingers to separate the second mold portion from the first mold portion.
