Patent AU-3761295-A (AU)
Title: Method for producing high efficiency light-emitting diodes and resulting diode structures
Inventor: NEGLEY GERALD H
IPC: B23K26/16
Filed: 1995-10-02
Abstract: A method of producing light emitting diodes from silicon carbide with increased external efficiency is disclosed which includes directing a beam of laser light at one surface of a portion of silicon carbide, and in which the laser light is sufficient to vaporize the silicon carbide that it strikes to thereby define a cut in the silicon carbide portion; and then dry etching the silicon carbide portion to remove by-products generated when the laser light cuts the silicon carbide portion. The resulting wafer and diode structure are also disclosed.
Patent AU-3812197-A (AU)
Title: Improved system and method for wagering at fixed handicaps and/or odds on a sports event
Inventor: MINDES BARRY M
IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 1997-07-24
Abstract: Improvements are described for a data processing system and method that allows a betting "house" to maintain a betting pool on a contest involving two or more contestants by controlling the terms (the betting odds and/or handicaps) for the contestants so that bettors are encouraged to place bets that will bring the betting pool (the "book") into balance. The system and method provides for "hedging" of bets in light of changing betting terms, such that bettors can guarantee profits or minimize losses before the contest is complete. Incoming bets may be placed in a queue before being processed, and their effect on pool balance evaluated before accepting or rejecting the bets. Bets in the queue may be accepted only in matching sets on all of the participating contestants, so as to prevent any imbalance of the betting pool. Alternatively, the bets may be rejected with an indication of the change in betting terms which would be required if the bets are to be accepted. Bets may be placed on the finishing order of the contestants, such that there will be multiple winning bets for a single contest. This system and method can also be used to play games, where the contestants do not incur actual financial obligations.
Patent AU-3847293-A (AU)
Title: Particulate fabric softening and detergent composition
Inventor: DOMS JAN R P
IPC: C11D17/04
Filed: 1993-05-07
Abstract: A particulate fabric softening composition and a particulate fabric softening detergent composition are described, both of which include bentonite powder agglomerated into larger particulate bead or granule form with a normally solid co-melt of a penta-erythritol compound (PEC), such as pentaerythritol ditallowate (PEDT), and a nonionic surfactant, such as a condensation product of a mole of a C12-15 fatty alcohol with seven moles of ethylene oxide. The fabric softening composition described may be added to wash (or rinse water) but preferably is incorporated in a particulate built synthetic organic anionic and/or nonionic detergent composition to produce a fabric softening detergent composition. The invented detergent compositions are especially suitable for washing laundry in "cold" water, such as water at 40 DEG C. or thereabout, in which the nonionic surfactant increases the dispersibility of the PEC, improves fabric softening activity thereof, in conjunction with the bentonite, and also prevents excessive whitening or chalking of dark colored laundry by the particulate fabric softening composition. These improved results have been attributed to the nonionic surfactant lowering the co-melt's melting point to about 40 DEG C. or lower, at which temperature the softening composition disperses satisfactorily in the wash water. Additional advantages of the invention are a bonus effect of the nonionic surfactant in increasing detergency of the detergent composition and wash water, and in allowing a decrease in PEC content of the softening and detergent compositions without loss of softening effect.

Title: Non-destructive evaluation of pipes and tubes using magnetostrictive sensors
Inventor: KWUN HEGEON
IPC: G01N29/04
Filed: 1996-02-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus for the inspection of ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic pipes, tubes or other cylindrical shell structures utilizing the magnetostrictive effect to detect defects such as corrosion pits, wall thinning, and cracks within the structure under evaluation. The apparatus and method constitute an active testing application, wherein 1) a transmitting coil element generates a mechanical pulse within a cylindrical shell structure through the magnetostrictive effect and a second coil detects reflected mechanical waves within the pipe, this by the inverse magnetostrictive effect, or 2) a single sensor functions as both transmitter and detector. The present invention also anticipates a passive monitoring application with a detection coil that continuously monitors ferromagnetic or non-ferromagnetic tubes, pipes, etc., for mechanical or acoustic wave emissions and either records this monitored information or alerts the appropriate personnel to the existence of mechanical or acoustic wave emissions indicative of deterioration. Non-ferromagnetic pipes, tubes, etc., are made amenable to inspection by attaching a layer of ferromagnetic material such as nickel on either the inner or outer walls of the pipes, tubes, etc. by plating or bonding such material in a local area where the sensor is to be placed.

Title: Cell derived antigen presenting vesicles
Inventor: GEUZE JOHANNES J
IPC: A61K31/00
Filed: 1996-08-05
Abstract: The invention provides a novel vehicle for vaccination, in particular peptide vaccination. The new vehicle has been termed an exosome. Exosomes are vesicles derived from MHC class II enriched compartments in antigen presenting cells. The exosomes possess MHC II and/or MHC I molecules at their surface and possibly peptides derived from processed antigens in said MHC's. Thus the exosome is a perfect vaccination vehicle in that it presents the peptide in a natural setting. The peptides present in the exosome in the MHC molecule may be processed by the antigen presenting cell from which the exosome is derived. Empty MHC molecules on exosomes may also be loaded with peptides afterwards.
