Patent AU-663219-B2 (AU)
Title: Delabeler and method
Inventor: LERNER HERSHEY
IPC: B08B9/32
Filed: 1993-09-07
Granted: 1995-09-28
Abstract: A machine (10) for removing tubular plastic labels from bottles (13) to facilitate their re-use and recycling. The machine (10) has a multi-station turret and supply (24) and exit conveyors (80) to sequentially supply labelled bottles (13) in line to the turret and remove delabelled bottles (17) from the turret. The delabelling is accomplished with a cutter (54) which is preferably in the form of a high-pressure jet of water. Ideally, the cutter is adjusted so that it is a differential cutter which will cut a label without cutting or marring a bottle from which a label is being removed. With one embodiment, a water flush mechanism (34) is provided to flush cut labels from their bottles (13) and the turret onto a screen conveyor (36). The flush water passes through the conveyor (36) into a container (38) from which it is pumped for re-use. Removed labels are transported by the screen conveyor (36) to a collection bin (39).   With another embodiment, an air blast mechanism (40) is used to strip cut labels from bottles (13) and a vacuum pick (41) up is used to collect stripped labels. <IMAGE>

Title: Clot resistant multiple lumen catheter
Inventor: TWARDOWSKI ZBYLUT J
IPC: A61M1/28
Filed: 1996-01-31
Granted: 1999-06-10
Abstract: Blood is circulated through a multiple lumen catheter which connects between a vein of a patient and the blood treatment device. The catheter and the lumens thereof each define distal ends which are positioned within the vein. By this invention, one withdraws blood from the vein through one of the lumens at a flow rate of at least about 200 ml./min. while also inserting blood into the vein through another of said lumens at a similar flow rate. The distal ends of the lumens are longitudinally spaced from each other by no more than about 5 mm. It has been found that the following advantages can be achieved by this method: less clot formation coupled with low direct blood recirculation and longer catheter survival. Also, the catheter of this invention works well in either direction of blood flow through the respective lumens.

Title: Regeneration agent for back-up software
Inventor: CHEN CHIA-HWANG
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 1997-10-22
Granted: 2001-01-04
Abstract: A system for updating an agent used in a backup software program. The backup software program operates on a network having, for example, a server and a number of workstations. A backup engine executes on the server. An agent executes on each of the workstations to be backed up. The backup engine transmits an updated agent to each workstation, transmits an executable regeneration module to each workstation and transmits an execute command to the agent at each workstation. The agent at each workstation stores the updated agent and the executable regeneration module and causes the execution of the executable regeneration module. The executable regeration module deletes or renames the agent, and also renames the updated agent to the name of the agent and thereafter enables operation of the updated agent as the agent.

Filed: 1996-04-01
Granted: 1999-08-19
Abstract: A data transmission apparatus for transmitting an original data has a converter for converting the original data to sequential data codes. The data code is formed by a combination of HIGH level binary codes and LOW level binary codes. The maximum length of a continuous binary codes of one level, such as HIGH level, in the data codes is limited to Tmax, e.g., to 14T, in which T is a unit length representing one binary code, and the minimum length of a continuous binary codes of one level, such as HIGH level, in the data codes is limited to Tmin, e.g., 3T. A generator generates a synchronization code. The synchronization code is formed by a combination of HIGH and LOW level binary codes. The synchronization code comprises an identifier having a continuous binary codes of one level, such as HIGH level, with a predetermined length 16T which is 2T greater than Tmax. An inserter inserts the synchronization code intermittently in the sequential data codes.

Title: Code-word recognition in a tdm communication system
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 1990-06-29
Granted: 1993-01-21
Abstract: There are time division multiplex information transmission systems in which synchronisation takes place by means of code words transmitted at regular time intervals and coded in a particular code. In systems in which the signals to be transmitted are transmitted in packets of uniform length, the code words in each case contain the information of the so-called header of a packet. The test device according to the invention tests all n-bit bit groups (Xj to Xj+n-1) beginning with an (Xj) of the successive bits of the bit sequence received successively for whether they are coded in the particular code. This is done by calculating the syndrome (S1 to Sn-k) in several parallel networks (N1 to Nn-k), each of which calculates one syndrome component. The bit sequence received is delayed until the networks have calculated the syndrome for a particular n-bit bit group and a syndrome evaluating circuit (LS) indicates, by means of the calculated syndrome, whether the bit group is a code word. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for laser treatment of body lumens
Inventor: FOX KENNETH R
IPC: A61B18/24
Filed: 1986-09-04
Granted: 1990-01-11
Abstract: A laser microsurgical method and apparatus are disclosed for safely treating occluded body lumens with laser energy. The disclosed method involves the use of pulsed laser energy from an argon-ion laser (62) to destroy the tissue of luminal occlusions, such as atheromatous plaque and the like, with substantially no thermal necrosis of the surrounding tissue. A flexible catheter and associated laser microsurgical system is also disclosed which provides for aiming of the fibers (18a-18d) to transmit the laser beam at the distal end of the catheter and rotational positioning of the catheter to permit coverage of virtually the entire cross-sectional area of the lumen. A lens system (46-48) at the distal end of each laser fiber minimizes beam divergence and directs the beam toward the central axis of the catheter. A further embodiment of the catheter of the invention provides an array of laser fibers (118) which are optically scanned (66) with laser energy to cover the cross-sectional area of the lumen. The system is designed to minimize the possibility of damage to or perforation of the surrounding tissue of the lumen.

Title: Chimeric binding peptide library screening method
Inventor: MCGREGOR DUNCAN
IPC: C12N15/12
Filed: 1998-09-02
Granted: 2001-11-22
Abstract: There is described a method of isolating nucleotide sequences encoding target peptides from DNA libraries using DNA binding proteins to link the peptide to the sequence which encodes it. DNA libraries are prepared from cells encoding the protein of interest, or from synthetic DNA, and inserted into, or adjacent to, a DNA binding protein in an expression vector to create a chimeric fusion protein. Incorporation of the vector DNA into a carrier package, during expression of the chimeric fusion protein, results in the production of a peptide display carrier package (PDCP) displaying the DNA-bound fusion protein on the external surface of the carrier package. Employment of affinity purification techniques results in the PDCP particles containing sequences encoding the desired peptide to be selected and the desired nucleotide sequences obtained therefrom.
