Patent NZ-333944-A (NZ)
Title: Medicament carrier for an inhalator, with at least two carrier screens.
Inventor: VAN OORT MICHIEL
IPC: A61M15/00
Filed: 1997-07-30
Abstract: The specification describes a medicament carrier (10) having a first and a second spaced apart screen (12, 14).  Each of which has surfaces (12B, 14B) defining a plurality of interstices (12A, 14A). The carrier (10) contains powdered agglomerated medicament particles (SM) loaded onto the first screen surface (12B) such that the interstices (12A) of the first screen (12) are at least partially open and free of the agglomerated medicament particles (SM). When an air stream is provided to the carrier to entrain the agglomerated powdered medicament particles (SM) and move them from the first screen (12) through the interstices (14A) of the second screen (14), the agglomerated powdered medicament particles (SM) are sheared by air flow gradients created by the first and second screens (12, 14) and by contact with the surface (14B) of the second screen (14) to create particles of respirable particle size range. The carrier (10) can be used in a dry powder inhalator device.

Title: Method of suppressing supersaturation in underground electrical cables by determining ratio of supplied volume of dielectric enhancement fluid with determined absorbed volume of dielectric enhancement fluid
Inventor: BERTINI GLEN J
IPC: H01B13/32
Filed: 1999-09-22
Abstract: A method for enhancing the dielectric properties of an electrical cable having a central stranded conductor encased in a polymeric insulation. The cable defines an interstitial void space (v1) between the strands of the conductor. The volume (v2) of a dielectric enhancement fluid required to be absorbed by the cable to reach a predetermined level of dielectric enhancement is determined. The ratio of (v1/v2) is computed. If the ratio of (v1/v2) is greater than a maximum ratio of 1.4, then a quantity of the dielectric enhancement fluid is diluted with a sufficient quantity of a diluent to produce a mixture of diluent and dielectric enhancement fluid, such that when the volume (v1) of the mixture is supplied to the cable interior, the cable will have been supplied with a volume (v3) of the dielectric enhancement fluid within the mixture such that (v3/v2) is less than 1.4. The diluent is substantially insoluble in the polymeric insulation, has a sufficiently low initial viscosity to enable introduction into the cable interior, and is miscible with the dielectric enhancement fluid.

Title: Diverter valve/filter and downpipe filter
Inventor: VISSER TIMON JACOB
IPC: E03B3/02
Filed: 2000-06-26
Abstract: A diverter and filtration unit for insertion into a guttering system includes a tank (100) having an inlet (102) from the guttering system and two outlets (112, 104). Outlet (112) is covered by a filtration device (114) to provide a source of clean water whereas outlet (104) provides an unfiltered water outlet as a bypass for an initial quantity of water flow. A valve (106) closes the outlet (104) after a delay so that the water flows substantially through the outlet (112). The reservoir (110) drains through the drain (109). The valve plate (106) is fixed to the reservoir (110) by rod (108). The reservoir (110) is filled via the tube (154) having a water control valve therein. The tube (154) has a branch tube (160) connecting to the tube (154) below the water control valve and bleeding water from a level (161) within the tank (100). Inlet (102) delivers water to a valley or channel (150) the lip (155) of which distributes water to the rear of the filter (114) thereby tending to wash debris therefrom. The valley (150) has an aperture (152) to which tube (154) is connected. The valve (106) closes when the weight of the water flowing into the reservoir (110) overcomes the bias of the spring (170) and the valve (106) is reset, the reservoir (110) rising, by loss of water through drip valve (120).

Title: Human urocortin-related polypeptide (URP) and uses thereof to rreat a pathophysiological state, eg stress, anxiety and appetite dysfunction
Inventor: VALE WYLIE W
IPC: A61K38/22
Filed: 2001-07-31
Abstract: A human urocortin-related peptide (URP) with significant sequence homology to the corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF) neuropeptide family was identified. A mouse cDNA was isolated from whole brain poly (A+) RNA that encodes a predicted 38 amino acid peptide protein designated herein as urocortin II. Both human URP and mouse family members, CRF and urocortin (Ucn). These peptides are involved in the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis under basal and stress conditions, suggesting a similar role for URP and Ucn II. Synthesized Ucn-II and URP peptide binds with higher affinity to CRF-R2 than to CRF-R1. Ucn II and human URP appear to be involved in the regulation of body temperature and appetite and may play a role in other stress related phenomenon. These findings identify Ucn II and human URP as new members of the CRF family of neuropeptides, which are expressed centrally and bind to CRF-R2.
