Patent AU-2003285074-A1 (AU)
Title: Soft tissue orientation and imaging guide systems and methods
Inventor: LEE ROBERTA
IPC: A61B17/34
Filed: 2003-10-29
Abstract: Systems and methods for the orientation of soft tissue such as breast tissue for enhanced accuracy of imaging and/or procedures such as a biopsy or excision are disclosed. The system for orientating and maintaining the orientation of soft tissue generally includes a frame defining an opening, the frame being configured to orient and immobilize an area of soft tissue positioned on one side of the opening, an attachment mechanism to secure the frame to an attachment region defined by the area of soft tissue or by a skin surface overlying the area of soft tissue, to facilitate orienting and immobilizing the area of soft tissue, and an imaging device to image the area of soft tissue. The opening may allow a probe of the imaging device or imaging energy transmitted by the imaging device to be movable therein for image scanning of the soft tissue. The probe, e.g., an ultrasound transducer can be rotated within the frame such that the probe scans at least either of two perpendicular directions within the frame. The frame may be adjustable in at least one dimension in order to adjust the size of the frame opening so as to facilitate the scanning and positioning of the probe within the frame opening. The frame may be attached and secured to the soft tissue with vacuum, adhesive, and/or clips or hooks. The soft tissue may be stretched into a desire orientation prior to attachment of the frame. An anchored lift member may be connected to the frame so as to slightly lift the frame and thus position and immobilize the soft tissue to which the frame is attached. Lifting of the soft tissue improves and enhances a tissue separation process using a tissue separation device. A connector may connect the imaging device to the tissue separation device to maintain a portion of the tissue separation device within the image plane of the probe to further improve and enhance the tissue separation process.

Title: Rapid production of oligonucleotides
Inventor: RICHMOND KATHRYN E
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2005-06-08
Abstract: A method of rapidly producing a double-stranded target DNA is disclosed. The method includes the step of producing multiple single stranded primary DNA constructs having (a) partially overlapping and complementary internal regions that together define the target DNA, and (b) flanking regions on either side of the internal regions containing a PCR primer recognition site and a restriction enzyme recognition site. The primary DNA constructs are amplified to form a pool of double-stranded primary constructs, and a restriction enzyme is used to cleave off the flanking regions. The target double-stranded DNA is then assembled from the cleaved fragments. Hundreds of thousands of oligonucleotides can be synthesized and quickly and efficiently assembled into many different individual double-stranded DNA target sequences using this method.

Title: Method and apparatus for continuous producing of metallic titanium and titanium-based alloys
Inventor: BLUMBERGS ERVINS
IPC: F27B3/08
Filed: 2007-05-22
Abstract: Metallic titanium is continuously produced in an electric-arc furnace under a vacuum by the metallothermic reduction of titanium tetrachloride by a reducing agent such as magnesium. The nanoparticles of titanium obtained from the reduction are simultaneously melted in a bath of molten titanium formed by the heat of an electric arc between a consumable titanium electrode and the molten titanium. A voltage applied across the electrode and the molten titanium is adjusted so that molten titanium is maintained in a cooled crystallizer during the entire process. The molten titanium solidifies on the top of a dummy bar that is drawn down as additional titanium is produced. Upon completion of each iterative reduction reaction, the vaporized reducing agent chloride is pumped out of the electric-arc furnace into a condenser using a vacuum pump. Then, additional reducing agent and titanium tetrachloride are added into the furnace, and the process is repeated.

Title: A method for removing the contamination of C, N utilizing heterotrophic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria
Inventor: PENG GUANGHAO
IPC: C02F3/34
Filed: 2007-08-08
Abstract: An approach that uses heterotrophic ammonia oxidation bacteria (HAOE) in order to remove carbon and nitrogen pollutants in wastewater includes the cultivation of the heterotrophic bacteria in an activated sludge environment and then use of the above bacteria to remove carbon and nitrogen from the wastewater. According to the physiological characteristics of HAOB and the principles of combined oxidation of carbon and nitrogen, the approach is able to achieve simultaneous removal of carbon and nitrogen under the condition that the bacteria do not grow. The process is able to be carried out in the temperature range between 6 - 40°C. No excess sludge is produced in the process. The approach is able to control the process and product composition of aerobic ammonia oxidation through the control of organic carbon source, and is able to realize zero-accumulation of NO3--N in the nitrification process. The approach can fully utilize existing activated sludge systems to remove C and N. Therefore there is no need to build new facilities, and all C and N removal process can be finished in a single reactor.
