Title: Apparatus for checking coins and reading cards in an article vending machine
Inventor: MENOUD EDOUARD
IPC: G07F9/04
Filed: 1995-08-02
Abstract: A coin checker and card reader for use with a vending machine includes a housing having a coin slot and a separate card slot which merge into a chute that communicates with a first coin channel and a card channel. A coin inserted into the coin slot rolls through the chute into the first coin channel and passes sensors which determine whether the coin is accepted or rejected. A door is actuated to direct an accepted coin into a coin retainer through a second coin channel. A rejected coin is directed to a return tray through a third coin channel. A subscriber card with a memory inserted into the card slot is guided into the card channel to actuate a switch to activate a microprocessor for exchanging information with the subscriber card memory and processing a transaction. The microprocessor checks the data being exchanged to prevent loss of data should card be removed before the transaction is completed and to vend an article only after valid data has been exchanged.

Title: Serpulina hyodysenteriae vaccine
IPC: A61P33/00
Filed: 1992-12-22
Abstract: According to the present invention a vaccine can be prepared containing a mutant Serpulina hyodysenteriae which is defective in its production of biologically active hemolysin. The mutation by which Serpulina hyodysenteriae is made defective in its production of hemolytically active hemolysin is established by means of genetical engineering techniques. Such mutations comprise e.g. deletion of part or the entire gene coding for hemolysin and/or nucleotide sequences controling the production of hemolysin, or insertion of an extra nucleotide or polynucleotide into the gene encoding hemolysin and/or the nucleotide sequences controling the production of hemolysin, or a combination of said deletion and insertion. These vaccines are useful in the prevention of Serpulina infections in susceptible animals such as swine.

Title: Methods of synthesizing gm3
Inventor: SCHMIDT RICHARD
IPC: C07H15/18
Filed: 1999-02-17
Abstract: The invention describes an improved method for making monosialoganglioside GM3 and its intermediates. Following reaction of a neuraminic acid donor and a lactose acceptor in the presence of an acid catalyst, the  alpha  and  beta  isomers of GM3 are formed. The  alpha  isomer is converted to a lactone, via action of a ring forming basic catalyst, which is then separable from the  beta  isomer. The lactone is then treated with a basic catalyst in the presence of an alcohol, to form GM3 or a GM3 intermediate.
Patent AU-3328295-A (AU)
Title: Upward deflecting support disk for electrochemical cell seal
Inventor: DEPALMA CHRISTOPHER L
IPC: H01M2/04
Filed: 1995-08-17
Abstract: A metal support disk for an electrochemical cell seal exerts a resilient outward radial force against the seal to maintain seal integrity over a wide range of operating temperature and, at the same time, exerts an upward force against the bottom of the metal end cap terminal of the cell to assure electrical contact between the anode inside the cell and the terminal. The disk includes a central, circular platform connected to an outer, sealing edge sealing flange by an annular flexure means which permits radially inward and outward movement of the sealing edge when the end of the cell is radially crimped during the sealing process. The crimping also moves the central portion of the disk up which results in the upward force being exerted against the end terminal. The flexure means is a sequential series of three annular, curved fibs with the first and third curved downward and the second curved upward. A ring depending radially outward and at an upward angie from the first fib connects the first fib to the second fib and helps to prevent plastic deformation of the disk during sealing.

Patent AU-3568593-A (AU)
Title: Liquid dispensing means
Inventor: SLADE BRIAN PARRY
IPC: B65D35/22
Filed: 1993-04-02
Abstract: Means for dispensing simultaneously two liquids held in respective flexible containers (2,24), one within the other, comprise concentric tubular passages (16,38) for flows of the liquids from their containers when pressure is applied to the outer container. The inner passage has a narrow elongate form and terminates within the outer passage a final exit section of which provides a common conduit for both flows. A reduced liquid pressure is produced at the inner passage termination by having a tapered upstream end (52) of said conduit overlapping said termination and the conduit is configured to inhibit mixing of the flows along its length. The two liquids are thus dispensed in a single stream in which an, eg. coloured, flow from the inner passage is visible in the core of the stream. By adjusting the position of said conduit taper (52) relative to the inner passage termination it is possible to vary the proportions of the two components in the flow. <IMAGE>

Title: Instrument for constructing tissue arrays
Inventor: LEIGHTON STEPHEN B
IPC: C12M1/16
Filed: 2000-03-06
Abstract: A simple, robust and precise instrument for constructing tissue arrays. The instrument includes multiple punches mounted on a punch platform, the punch platform displaceable between precisely defined positions. Mechanical d+E,acu e+EE tentes or stops are provided which mechanically arrest the movement of the punch platform in the precisely defined positions. This arrangement greatly saves time and improves accuracy over use of conventional precision linear positioning means. By the simple step of moving the punch platform from a first position to a second position, either punch can be quickly brought into operating position (and the other moved into a non-interfering position) by either manually or by automatic means, making it possible to quickly alternate from one punch to the other.

Title: Process for preparing microspheres for the prolonged releaseof the LHRH hormone and its analogues, microspheres and formulations obtained
Inventor: BILLOT GENEVIEVE BERNADETTE
IPC: A61K9/16
Filed: 1993-07-19
Abstract: Process for the preparation of microspheres, for the prolonged release of the hormone LHRH and its analogues, the hormone being dispersed in a water-insoluble polymeric or copolymeric matrix, the solvent evaporation-based process is characterised by the use of a pair of organic solvents one of which makes it possible more specifically to obtain a homogeneous suspension of the hormone in the pulverulent state simply by stirring and the other of which is slightly miscible in water so as to allow more specifically the microdispersion of the organic phase in the aqueous phase in which the hardening of the microspheres is carried out. This process results in the preparation of LHRH-containing microspheres which are remarkable by virtue of their purity, especially in microspheres with a complex matrix, as well as in formulations comprising at least two types of microspheres.

Title: Apparatus and method for compressing a continuous web
Inventor: EDGE DAVID THOMAS
IPC: B30B5/06
Filed: 1993-05-05
Abstract: A method and apparatus for compressing a continuous web comprises sandwiching the web (27) between two steel belts (14, 22). The belts (14, 22) are passed around a rotating drum (20) with the web (27) sandwiched therebetween to compress the web (27). Means (20, 25) are provided for establishing a temperature gradient through the thickness of the web (27) such that the lower surface of the web (27) is at a higher temperature than the upper surface of the web (27). The temperature gradient is sufficient that shear forces applied to the web (27) by the belts (14, 22) as they pass round the drum (20) cause shearing in the region of the lower rather than the upper surface of the web (27). The invention is particularly advantageous when used to compress a web (27) having a patterned upper surface whereby smearing of the pattern is minimised. <IMAGE>
