Patent AU-1647301-A (AU)
Title: Laser effects and laser devices
Inventor: COOK GARY
IPC: G02F1/39
Filed: 2000-12-01
Abstract: A glass fiber ( 22 ) has a core ( 24 ) provided with Raman laser effect particles ( 28 ) embedded in a glass matrix ( 30 ), with glass cladding ( 26 ) around the core. The refractive index of the glass matrix ( 30 ) is matched to that of the Raman laser effect particles ( 28 ) so as to avoid scattering. It is not necessary to have a single crystal of Raman laser material to create a laser effect in the glass fiber. A length of fiber in the order of meters or tens of meters can produce optical laser light. It is possible to have a single fiber ( 22 ) emit laser light at different frequencies due to Stokes and Anti-Stokes emissions. A simple laser device can therefore produce several colors of laser beams.

Title: Correcting errors in digital transmission of video signals
Inventor: STREHL HERBERT
IPC: H04N19/895
Filed: 1984-03-30
Abstract: Method and apparatus for the correction of image distortion in the digital transmission of video signals, in which at the receiving end a comparison is made between the received signal values and estimated video signal values computed from adjacent video signal values.

A feature of the present method and apparatus is their ability to distinguish edges of objects when there are sharp fluctuations in expected signal level values.
Patent AU-2706384-A (AU)
Title: Colorimetric immunoassay on solid surface
Inventor: WADA HENRY GARRETT
IPC: G01N33/52
Filed: 1984-04-18
Abstract: The inventive concept provides an immunoassay using an enzyme label, in which the detection of the unknown substance is performed colorimetrically directly upon a solid surface. Preferably, the surface is an impermeable surface of a dipstick. To detect antigen in a biologically derived fluid sample, a dipstick containing bound antibody may be contacted with the sample and with a soluble enzyme-labeled antibody, to cause the antigen to bind to both the immobilized antibody and the labeled antibody on the surface. After separation of unreacted reagents, the solid surface is contacted with a substrate which converts from a soluble form to an insoluble colored form in the presence of the enzyme and deposits upon the surface of the solid surface. The solid surface is separated from the solution. The sandwich immunoassay technique may also be employed to detect antibody in the sample by reversing the roles of the antigen and antibody. The system is also applicable to a competitive binding technique. The invention further includes a colored dipstick produced by this means.
