Patent AU-4987500-A (AU)
Title: Optical probes and assays
Inventor: POLLOK BRIAN A
IPC: C12Q1/37
Filed: 2000-05-05
Abstract: This invention provides an optical probe useful as an optical probe or sensor of post translational type modifications, such as phosphorylation. The invention comprises a polypeptide moiety, which contains a recognition motif for a post translational type activity and a protease site, which is coupled to a probe moiety. Modification of the polypeptide, by the post translational type activity, results in a modulation of the rate at which a protease cleaves the polypeptide which is sensed by a measurable change in at least one optical property of the optical probe upon cleavage. The present invention also includes a recombinant nucleic acid molecule that encodes an optical probe and a vector and host cell or library of cells that include the recombinant nucleic acid molecule. The optical probe can be used in methods to determine whether a sample, including a cell or a sample from an organism, contains a post-translational type modification activity. Such methods can also be used to determine whether a test chemical modulates the activity of a modifying activity, and thus can be used to identify therapeutic compositions. The identification of such therapeutic compositions can be automated using a system that includes an optical probe.

Patent AU-5665086-A (AU)
Title: A contact sensor for measuring dental occlusion
Inventor: MANESS WILLIAM
IPC: A61C19/04
Filed: 1986-03-28
Abstract: A contact sensor for detecting points on a grid where the sensor is being contacted on opposing sides by teeth surfaces or other contacting points. The contact sensor includes two sets of parallel electrodes which are each formed of a thin, flexible supporting sheet. The electrodes are coated with a thin, resistive coating. Two such electrode structures are oriented at approximately right angles to create a grid where the intersecting electrodes cross separated by the resistive coatings. The resistive coatings may be made from conventional resisitive inks and are optionally separated by a separation material, such as talcum or mesh. In the absence of an external force, the material between the electrodes sets provides a high resistance between intersecting electrodes. The novel composition of the intermediate layer results in a structure which provides a "switching" effect such that the resistance between electrodes is very high where there is no external pressure and changes to a comparatively low value at locations where external pressure is applied by two contacting points or surfaces. The sensor output is dynamic in the sense that the resistance will change back and forth between high and low resistance states as external pressure is repeatedly applied and removed. The sensor may be made extremely thin and can provide high resolution capable of distinguishing between contact points separated by 0.050 inches or less. Additionally, the sensor output may be provided by means of a small computer or similar digital processor which monitors the signals from the sensor grid and which provides an output which indicates the variation in contacting points with time.

Title: Automatic operant conditioning system especially for scoliosis
Inventor: SILVERMAN GORDON
IPC: A61F5/01
Filed: 1990-05-22
Abstract: A system and method for the operant conditioning of subjects using biofeedback includes means to measure a variable condition, such as posture, which is controllable by the subject. The apparatus sets criteria which, if not met, may result in a negative reinforcement, such as unpleasant audio tone or, if the criteria is met, will reward the subject. The criteria is automatically adjusted, upwards or downwards, in accordance with the subject's history of reaching, or not reaching, the criteria. One embodiment is a device for the training of patients with idiopathic scoliosis (curvature of the spine), as a replacement for a brace. The device includes two cables, one about the chest to measure breathing and the other longitudinally about the trunk to measure spine length. The variable lengths of the cables are converted to digital signals by rotary-to-digital converters. The device includes a programmed microcomputer whose inputs are the digital converters which automatically adjusts the criteria and which controls a tone generator and its speaker to provide an audio feedback of out-of-criteria postures.

Patent AU-6078400-A (AU)
Title: Tdma/tdd access method for a wireless transmission system
Inventor: JACOB W JORGENSEN
IPC: H04L47/27
Filed: 2000-07-07
Abstract: A method for modifying operation of a transmission control protocol (TCP) sliding window algorithm in a wireless point to multi-point (PtMP) transmission system. The method includes ensuring that transport of a packet over a wireless telecommunications link is occurring reliably; and modifying operation of a TCP sliding window algorithm if transport is not occurring reliably in order to control a TCP transmission rate. The ensuring step includes awaiting acknowledgement of wireless transmission of the packet at a link layer over the wireless link; and retransmitting at the link layer a lost one of the packets. The link layer can be a packet-centric QoS aware media access control (MAC) layer. The modifying step includes suppressing transmission of a TCP layer communication that would cause the TCP sliding window algorithm to modify the TCP transmission rate. The suppressing step can include preventing a source TCP from retransmitting the packet. The suppressing step can include avoiding modification of a source TCP layer and a destination TCP layer. The source and destination TCP layers can be unaware of operation modification. The suppressing can include intercepting retransmission requests between a destination TCP layer of a subscriber workstation coupled to a subscriber CPE station which is in wireless communication with a wireless base station, and a source TCP layer of a host workstation coupled to the wireless base station. The method can include detecting real congestion and permitting transmission of a TCP layer communication that would cause the TCP sliding window algorithm to modify the TCP transmission rate if real congestion is detected. Here, the detecting step can include determining from the link layer whether the wireless transmission of the packet was acknowledged.
