Patent AU-5093499-A (AU)
Title: Therapies using hemoproteins
Inventor: STAMLER JONATHAN S
IPC: A61K38/42
Filed: 1999-07-09
Abstract: Herein it is shown that hemoproteins (e.g., Ascaris hemoglobin, myoglobin, flavohemoglobins) have NO-consuming and deoxygenase activities. The invention provides a method of reducing the concentration of oxygen and/or nitric oxide in a mammal. The method of the invention comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a hemoprotein having NO-activated deoxygenase activity or an enzymatically active fragment thereof to a mammal. The method can be used to treat a mammal having pathologically proliferating cells, such as a tumor. In one embodiment, the hemoprotein is administered to reduce the oxygen concentration of a tumor. In another embodiment, the hemoprotein is administered together with a cytotoxic agent to treat a mammal having a tumor. The invention also provides a method of enzymatically generating toxic reactive oxygen species in a mammal for therapeutic purposes. The method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a hemoprotein to a mammal. The invention also provides a composition comprising a hemoprotein having deoxygenase activity or an enzymatically active fragment thereof and a physiologically acceptable carrier. In one embodiment, the composition further comprises a cytotoxic agent and/or a reducing agent. The invention further provides a method of treating a mammal infected with Ascaris sp., comprising administering to said mammal a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of NO synthase. The NO-consuming activity of a hemoprotein (e.g., a flavohemoglobin) can be used in a treatment where constriction of blood vessels is desirable, or where it is otherwise desirable to reduce NO concentration, as in inflammation.

Title: Value transfer system
Inventor: EVERETT DAVID BARRINGTON
IPC: G06Q20/36
Filed: 1996-05-09
Abstract: The invention is concerned with systems for transferring value between electronic purses, usually in the form of IC or "Smart" cards, via the intermediary of an interface device. In order to control the flow of value between purses a hierarchical class structure is proposed. This is achieved by assigning to each purse a class which controls the conditions under which value may be transferred to and from (mainly from) a purse. Thus each purse stores in memory a representation of its own class, together with a list of those classes to which the purse can transfer value.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the control of linear motors
Inventor: KELLY HUGH-PETER GRANVILLE
IPC: H02P25/06
Filed: 1990-09-04
Abstract: A linear motor comprises a stator 1 and an armature 2 provided, respectively, with a set of spaced apart permanent magnets and a set of drive coils (not shown). The permanent magnets produce a radial magnetic field whose strength varies periodically along the length of the stator 1. The field strength is to derive speed and position signals by means of detectors constituted by field coils 4 and Hall Effect sensors 10. The periodic variation of the field strength is compensated for in the case of the field coils 4 by staggering their phases along the length of the armature and selectively combining their outputs; in the case of the Hall Effect sensors, the periodical variation is used to derive positional information.
