Abstract: PCT No. PCT/NO97/00135 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 28, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 28, 1998 PCT Filed May 28, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/45345 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 4, 1997A belt steering assembly for centering of conveyor belts (5) comprises a mechanism with steering rollers (1) and guide rollers (9). In the event of a lateral misalignment of the belt (5), the belt's movement will be transferred from the guide rollers (9) to the steering rollers (1), with the result that the steering rollers return the belt to a neutral position. Preferred ratios are described between different lengths of a lever arm (6) for transfer of the movement. A method for loading of a conveyor belt comprises moving the conveyor belt (5) laterally before loading to a position where the centre of gravity of the loaded material (15) falls on the conveyor belt's central portion (12), and after loading steering the conveyor belt laterally to its neutral position.

The instruments generally include a tube (20) which is typically coupled to the end effectors via a clevis around which the end effectors pivot, a push rod (60) extending through the tube and coupled to the end effectors, and an actuator apparatus engaging the tube and the push rod with the actuator apparatus including a handle (85) which surrounds and rotatably engages the proximal end of the tube, and a lever arm (75) which pivotally engages the handle and is coupled to the push rod such that pivotal movement of the lever arm relative to the handle effects axial movement of the push rod relative to the tube and pivotal movement of the end effectors. In order to alternatively fix or allow rotation of the actuator apparatus relative to the tube and end effectors, the tube is provided with a plurality of peripherally spaced apart recesses (330) in a portion thereof, and the handle is provided with a resiliently biased contact element (300) which is coupled to an electrode (99) and which when seated in a recess restrains rotation of the outer tube about the longitudinal axis, but which can be unseated by a sufficient relative rotational force. To decouple rotation of the push rod from the lever arm, a generally spherical push rod engaging element (190) is provided in a cylindrical bore (200) of the lever arm. <IMAGE>

Title: Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants
Inventor: HAMPSON AIDAN J
IPC: A61P25/28
Filed: 1999-04-21
Abstract: Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia. Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention. A particular disclosed class of cannabinoids useful as neuroprotective antioxidants is formula (I) wherein the R group is independently selected from the group consisting of H, CH3, and COCH3.

Title: A testing circuit
Inventor: MARSH MICHAEL JOHN CAMILLE
IPC: G01R31/02
Filed: 1994-02-16
Abstract: A testing circuit is provided for testing the operability both of a load (30) and of a capacitor (26) incorporated into a main detonator circuit and arranged to discharge into the load for detonation thereof. A test pulse is generated at a central controller to which a ring of detonators is connected on a harness. The test pulse is routed via the harness for storage in the capacitor. A controlled switch (44) is operated to allow the capacitor to discharge into the load. A transistor (52) is operated by the discharge signal, the transistor having an output for delivering a discharge value signal (56) in response to the discharge signal remaining above or falling below a threshold value. The discharge value signal is latched and is in turn used to inhibit a local oscillator (66). The inhibited signal from the oscillator is routed back to the controller so as to indicate a fault either in the capacitor (26) or in the load (30). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Sensors for determining the presence and concentration of bio-molecules in a biological sample are provided in the form of polymer brushes, which comprise a substrate having a surface that is modified with a water-dispersible or water-soluble polymer segment having functional groups that bind probes. The method of synthesis of such sensors preferably includes use of controlled free radical polymerization techniques, and in particular the use of an iniferter initiator, which allows for controlled architecture polymers to modify the surface of the substrate. In this manner functional groups in the polymer chain are removed from the surface, which allows for solution chemistry to be more realistically reproduced with the benefits of a solid bound probe.

Patent AU-5999390-A (AU)
Title: An apparatus and method for preventing unauthorized access to bios in personal computer system
Inventor: BEALKOWSKI RICHARD
IPC: G06F21/12
Filed: 1990-07-30
Abstract: An apparatus and method for protecting BIOS stored on a direct access storage device (62) into a personal computer system (10). The personal computer system (JO) comprises a system processor (26), a system planar (24), a random access main memory (32), a read only memory (36), a protection means and at least one direct access storage device (62). The read only memory (36) includes a first portion of BIOS and data representing the type of system processor (26) and system planar (24) I/O configuration. The first portion of BIOS initializes the system (10) and the direct access storage device (62), and resets the protection means in order to read in a master boot record into the random access memory (32) from a protectable partition on the direct access storage device (62). The master boot record includes a data segment and an executable code segment. The data segment includes data representing system hardware and a system configuration which is supported by the master boot record. The first BIOS portion confirms the master boot record is compatible with the system hardware by verifying that the data from the data segment of the master boot record agrees with the system processor (26), system planar (24), and planar (24) I/O configuration. If the master boot record is compatible with the system hardware, the first BIOS portion vectors the system processor (26) to execute the executable code segment of the master boot record. The executable code segment confirms that the system configuration has not changed and loads in the remaining BIOS portion from the same protectable partition on the direct access storage device (62) into random access memory (32). The executable code segment then verifies the authenticity of the remaining BIOS portion and vectors the system processor (26) to begin executing the BIOS now in random access memory. BIOS, executing in random access memory (32), then activates the protection means to prevent further access to the protectable partition. BIOS boots up the operating system to begin operation of the personal computer system.
