Patent AU-2236095-A (AU)
Title: Pulse oximeter and sensor optimized for low saturation
Inventor: CASCIANI JAMES R
IPC: A61B5/1464
Filed: 1995-03-31
Abstract: A pulse oximeter sensor (410) with a light source optimized for low oxygen saturation ranges and for maximizing the immunity to perturbation induced artifact. Preferably, a red (112) and an infrared light source (114) are used, with the red light source (112) having a mean wavelength between 700-790 nm. The infrared light source (114) can have a mean wavelength as in prior art devices used on patients with high saturation. The sensor of the present invention is further optimized by arranging the spacing between the light emitter (112,114) and light detectors (116) to minimize the sensitivity to perturbation induced artifact. The present invention optimizes the chosen wavelengths to achieve a closer matching of the absorption and scattering coefficient products for the red and IR light sources. This optimization gives robust readings in the presence of perturbation artifacts including force variations, tissue variations and variations in the oxygen saturation itself. <IMAGE>

Title: Carbo-metallic oil conversion
Inventor: MYERS GEORGE D
IPC: C10G11/00
Filed: 1984-07-10
Abstract: A process is disclosed for the production of high octane gasoline and/or other valuable lower molecular weight products from carbo-metallic oils. Examples include crude oil, topped crude, reduced crude, residua, the extract from solvent deasphalting and other heavy hydrocarbon fractions. These carbo-metallic oils contain quantities of coke precursors and heavy metal catalyst poisons substantially in excess of what is normally considered acceptable for Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) and substantial amounts of sulfur, nitrogen and other troublesome components may also be present. Such carbo-metallic oils are converted to the desired products in a catalytic conversion process where the oil feed is mixed with naphtha and brought together with a high-metal content cracking catalyst. Named "RCC" (Reduced Crude Conversion) after a particularly common or useful carbometallic feed, the present process is by no means restricted to reduced crude or to oils of petroleum origin, having utility in the processing of oils from coal, shale and other sources.

Title: Low toxicity interleukin-2 analogues for use in immunotherapy
Inventor: GRIMM ELIZABETH A
IPC: A61P35/00
Filed: 1993-04-13
Abstract: The properties of two recombinant human IL-2 analogues with mutations at Arginine 38 (->Alanine) and Phenylalanine 42 (->Lysine) were analyzed and compared to those of native IL-2. These analogues were found to maintain their ability to bind to the intermediate IL-2 receptor, p75, while binding only minimally to the high affinity p55+p75 receptor complex. The analogues also maintained the ability to stimulate peripheral blood mononuclear cells to generate lymphokine activated killing (LAK). However, IL-1 beta  and TNF- alpha  secretion were significantly reduced in response to the analogues, as compared to the native IL-2 molecule. These analogues are therefore potentially valuable low-toxicity alternatives to IL-2 in human immunotherapy and adoptive immunotherapy treatment strategies.

Score lines S4,S6 and S14,S16 provide lines of weakness across the whole widths of the roots of the central lugs, so that the lugs, when each folded upon itself, can adjust to the orientation of an outwardly folded panel P13 during tucking of the panel P13 inwards of the lugs, which are sandwiched between the panels P6 and P13. In the blank, the lugs and the panels P6 and P13 are so dimensioned that they can interdigitate with the corresponding lugs and panels of the bottoms of a row of identical blanks. Edge portions E11 and E17 of protrusions of the panel P12 commence adjacent to and parallelly with the vertical edges of the panel P12 and continue convexly curvedly towards the panel P13, to co-operate with the folds between the panel P6, on the one hand, and the sub-panels P9 and P14, on the other hand, to enhance production and maintenance of self-alignment of the closure. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus for modifying the surface of the eye through large beam laser polishing and method of controlling the apparatus
Inventor: HOHLA KRISTIAN
IPC: A61F9/00
Filed: 1993-09-30
Abstract: A apparatus and method for controlling an apparatus for removing tissue from the eye performs various types of corrections using a relatively large beam, but oscillating, or dithering, that being to prevent reinforcing ridges from being formed during the tissue removal process. Further, various types of correction, such as hyperopia and astigmatism correction, are performed using a large beam that is scanned over the area to be ablated using overlapping shots. Further, the epithelium in the area to be treated is removed using an infrared fluorescent dye to dye the epithelium, and then observing the fluorescent patterns from the epithelium area to be removed. Once a certain area is no longer fluorescent after laser shots, smaller shots are then applied, selectively removing the epithelium from the remaining regions. Again, the fluorescence patterns are observed, and the process is repeated until no epithelium remains. At this point, all of the epithelium is removed, and further a map is created of the initial epithelial thickness at each point in the area from which the epithelium was removed.
