Title: Oxygen scavenging condensation copolymers comprising polyester segments (such as PET and PEN) and polyolfin segments for bottles and packaging articles suitable for recycling with other polyester bottles
Inventor: CAHILL PAUL J
IPC: B32B27/08
Filed: 1997-09-22
Abstract: Compositions for scavenging oxygen are disclosed. These compositions comprise condensation copolymers comprising predominantly polyester segments and an oxygen-scavenging amount of polyolefin oligomer segments. The polyester segments comprise segments derived from typical bottling and packaging polyesters such as PET and PEN. The copolymers are preferably formed by transesterification during reactive extrusion and typically comprise about 0.5 to about 12 wt.% of polyolefin oligomer segments. The copolycondensates are capable of absorbing at least 0.4 cc of oxygen per gram of copolymer in the solid state at ambient temperatures and are typically used as layers in films, liners, cups, wraps, bottles, etc. Use of these oxygen scavenging compositions in bottles provides a clear and rigid bottle similar in appearance to unmodified polyester bottles. In a series of preferred embodiments, bottles fabricated with the oxygen scavenging copolycondensates of this invention are over 99.4 wt.% polyester and suitable for recycle with other polyester bottles.

Title: A method of analysing a sample of free cells
Inventor: SHINE IAN BASIL
IPC: G01N15/00
Filed: 1999-12-24
Abstract: A method of analysing a sample of free cells, in particular blood cells. Blood platelet counts are obtained by agitating a blood cell suspension in the presence of air and counting the number of small particles in the suspension both before and after agitation. Cell friability is determined by subjecting a sample of cells to stress in vitro and detecting the number of cell fragments caused by the applied stress. Since applied stress affects red blood cell fragments and platelets differently, it is possible to distinguish between the two types of cells.

Title: Gaming machine with prize determined by outcome of feature game over base game
Inventor: BRYANT NATALIE
IPC: A63F13/12
Filed: 2001-03-30
Abstract: A gaming machine including a display and a game controller arranged to play a game wherein one or more random events are displayed on the display and if a predetermined winning event results, the machine awards a prize. The graphical representation of the awarding of the prize changes, but can be stopped using a device that is operated by the player. Therefore, the outcome and hence the amount awarded to a player is selected. In one configuration, the game controller selects a random threshold value. If the threshold value is reached by the graphical representation before the player stops it, the player loses, but if the player operates the device before the graphical representation reaches the threshold value, the player is awarded the amount shown by the graphical representation. The feature can also be played as a tournament across a bank of linked gaming machines.
