Title: Anterior dorso-lumbar spinal osteosynthesis instrumentation for the correction of kyphosis
Inventor: LAURAIN JEAN-MARIE
IPC: A61B17/88
Filed: 1995-02-15
Abstract: The instrumentation comprises a pair of vertebral implants (1) provided with screws (4) for anchorage to two corresponding vertebrae located on each side of a damaged vertebra, and a plate (3) having two end portions (3a) for connection to the two implants, and equipped with serrations (6, 15) for fixing it to the implants.

Patent AU-1882500-A (AU)
Title: A method of testing a cell sample
Inventor: SHINE IAN BASIL
IPC: G01N33/49
Filed: 1999-12-24
Abstract: The present invention measures agglutination using a process which is capable of testing how tightly agglutinated cells are bonded by measuring how much force is required to separate them. By causing red cells which are approximately biconcave discs to sphere, the effective surface area available for bonding diminishes. Sphering a cell increases the space between antigen binding sites and increases the mean distance across which bonding occurs. As the surface area available for bonding between cells decreases as cells sphere they lose bonding strength, thus allowing clumped cells to separate. By recording the inducing pressure and the number of cells (or quantities related to it) as they change with respect to the inducing pressure, agglutination can be detected, quantified and monitored. This provides a simple but effective test for blood grouping and cross-matching by introducing an appropriate source of antibodies and detecting whether or not agglutination occurs.

Title: Burner and combustion method for heating surfaces susceptible to oxidation or reduction
Inventor: SIMPSON NEIL GEORGE
IPC: F27D99/00
Filed: 2001-03-26
Abstract: A method of heating a surface provides for a central fuel rich jet (40) having a peripheral shroud (41) of substantially stoichiometric combustion products and one or more fuel lean jets (30) each having a peripheral shroud (31) of substantially stoichiometric combustion products. The fuel lean jets (30) are placed around the periphery of the central fuel rich jet (40). The fuel lean jet or jets each having shrouds of substantially stoichiometric combustion products and a careful choice of relative velocities for each results in minimizing the mixing of the fuel rich and fuel lean jets until they are at or near the surface of the material to be melted. The placement of the fuel lean jet and fuel rich jets may be reversed in applications where an oxidizing atmosphere is required at the surface to be heated.
