Patent AU-673160-B2 (AU)
Title: Photopolymerizable biodegradable hydrogels as tissue contacting materials and controlled-release carriers
Inventor: HUBBELL JEFFREY A
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 1993-03-01
Granted: 1996-10-31
Abstract: Hydrogels of polymerized and crosslinked macromers comprising hydrophilic oligomers having biodegradable monomeric or oligomeric extensions, which biodegradable extensions are terminated on free ends with end cap monomers or oligomers capable of polymerization and cross linking are described. The hydrophilic core itself may be degradable, thus combining the core and extension functions. Macromers are polymerized using free radical initiators under the influence of long wavelength ultraviolet light, visible light excitation or thermal energy. Biodegradation occurs at the linkages within the extension oligomers and results in fragments which are non-toxic and easily removed from the body. Preferred applications for the hydrogels include prevention of adhesion formation after surgical procedures, controlled release of drugs and other bioactive species, temporary protection or separation of tissue surfaces, adhering of sealing tissues together, and preventing the attachment of cells to tissue surfaces.

Abstract: A process for coating inorganic particles with dense amorphous silica is provided in which a suspension of inorganic particles is coated by adding an acid to a solution of a silicate, preferably an alkali metal silicate. During at least a part of the addition the suspension is subjected to the effects of ultrasonic vibrations. Coatings of dense amorphous silica which are substantially continuous and impervious can be produced using the new method at temperatures of about 60 DEG C and in an acceptable time whereas previously known economical methods for producing a coating of dense amorphous silica generally employed temperatures of approximately 90 DEG C. The process is particularly useful for producing titanium dioxide pigments having very high durability.

Date Nov. 1, 1990.A molten metal inclusion sensor comprises a single use disposable probe which is detachably connected to a support member. The probe may comprise a tube of heat resistant material having an inner electrode mounted on its interior wall and an outer electrode mounted on its exterior wall, the molten metal entering the tube interior through an orifice in its wall past a jet-preventer insert upon its immersion in the molten metal, whereupon the flow of metal with entrained inclusions is monitored by measuring the voltage between the electrodes. Alternatively the tube may be of electrically-conductive heat-resistant material and constitute the inner electrode. The flow may be assisted by a reduced pressure established within the tube, or may be slowed by a positive pressure to maintain the Reynolds number of the flow below 2000. The tube interior is divided by a narrow bore into two compartments so that metal enters one compartment and freezes in the bore so that it cannot enter the second compartment, protecting the vacuum source if provided and establishing the quantity of metal entering the probe. The orifice is closed by a meltable cover and the cover is protected by a meltable shield to enable the probe to be passed through an overlying slag layer without entry of slag to the probe interior. Various suitable materials are disclosed for the electrodes and for the body of the probe which should have a useful life in the bath of about 2 minutes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and furnace apparatus for bending and tempering glass sheets. A glass sheet is supported on the same outline mould throughout the entire handling process. A bending furnace (10) is designed to be sufficiently long in the traveling direction for carrying a partially bent glass sheet towards a tempering section (16) in such a manner that the glass sheet reaches its final shape during the passage occurring within the bending furnace (10). For this purpose, the glass sheet is heated in the bending furnace (10) with such a high effect that it reaches its tempering temperature before reaching its final shape. The movements and heating of glass sheets are controlled individually on the basis of the thickness and measured temperature of each glass sheet. <IMAGE>

Title: Protocol for Packet Data Communication System
Inventor: TYMES LAROY
IPC: H04B1/713
Filed: 1994-03-30
Granted: 1996-09-05
Abstract: A packet data transmission system is used to link a number of remote hand-held data-gathering units such as bar code readers to a central computer. Data packets are sent from the remote units by a spread spectrum RF link to intermediate base stations, then sent by the base stations to the central computer by a serial link. The remote hand-held units initiate an RF exchange to and from the base stations, receiving only during a time window following a transmission from the remote unit. The base stations cannot initiate an exchange with the remote units, but instead send data to the remote units only as part of the exchange. To alert a remote unit when a message is waiting at a base station to be sent to a particular unit, some of the acknowledge (base-to-remote) packets sent by the base station may contain an identification such as a list of all remote units (identified by ID number) which have messages waiting. Alternatively, a bit map can be used to identify these remotes. These base-to-remote packets with the identification of remotes with messages waiting are called "announcements." Each remote unit (if not engaged in regular exchanges for a time interval) periodically listens (activates its receiver) to receive an announcement packet containing such a list or bit map and decodes this announcement to see if it has a message waiting. If so, this remote unit then sends a transmit packet so the base can send the waiting message in an acknowledge packet.

The method can also include identifying in a substantially real time manner when conditions are favorable for treatment and when conditions are unfavorable for treatment and can verify or quantity how much of a known drug dose or radiation dose was actually received at the tumor. The method can include remote transmission from a non-clinical site to allow oversight of the tumor's condition even during non-active treatment periods (in between active treatments). The disclosure also includes monitoring systems with  in situ in vivo  biocompatible sensors and telemetry based operations and related computer program products.

Granted: 1984-04-05
Abstract: A process for periodically and pneumatically stirring a bath of molten metal, wherein during the periods in which no stirring effect is required a fluid in gaseous state is injected through injection devices below the surface of the bath of molten metal in an amount sufficient to prevent blockage of the devices, whereas during the periods in which a stirring effect is required a fluid in liquid state which will vaporize quickly upon contact with the liquid metal is injected to provide an optimum amount of mixing gas with a minimum of injection devices. The process is advantageously used in converters for pneumatically converting pig iron into steel and in which oxygen is blown from above onto the bath of molten metal.
