Patent AU-1162801-A (AU)
Title: Assay of micro-organisms in cell cultures
Inventor: CROUCH SHARON PATRICIA MARY
IPC: C12Q1/04
Filed: 2000-11-08
Abstract: Micro-organisms which over-produce ATPase, especially mycoplasmas in a sample of a cell culture, are detected by making use of the ATPase activity to convert cellular or externally added ATP to ADP. The decrease in ATP externally added or the increase or absolute level of ADP produced from cellular ATP can then be detected or measured. For example, if a reagent such as phosphenol pyruvate/pyruvate kinase is added to convert that ADP back to ATP, the resulting high level of ATP can be detected bioluminescently using the reaction: Luciferin+luciferase enzyme+ATP->hv+products.

Title: Measuring nuclear magnetic resonance
IPC: G01N24/08
Filed: 1983-03-11
Abstract: For the purpose of limiting NMR spectroscopy to a selected area of a body the said area is prepared by applying first a homogeneous magnetic field passing through the entire body and superimposing thereafter upon the said magnetic field a first magnetic field of identical orientation whose strength varies in a first sense (first field gradient), exciting thereafter all the selected nuclear spins present within the body and in addition, selectively, only the nuclear spins present in a first body plane containing the volume element and extending vertically to the said first field gradient so that the selected nuclear spins contained in this body plane are returned to the direction of the homogeneous magnetic field while the nuclear spins outside this plane receive an orientation differing from the sense of the homogeneous magnetic field. This process is repeated twice, using each time a different gradient field, so that thereafter only the nuclear spins located within the volume element selected by means of the three gradient fields are parallel to the homogeneous magnetic field and can be excited by means of one or more pulses to obtain an oscillation generating an induction signal.

Patent AU-1378192-A (AU)
Title: Sensor devices
IPC: C12M1/34
Filed: 1992-03-12
Abstract: Analytical sensor devices incorporating a permselective medium immobilised as a continuous liquid or gel phase barrier between sample and detector. The barrier is electrically insulating, impermeable to charged non-lipophilic species, selectively partitions lipophilic species diffusing through it, and its selectivity can be controlled or optimised by pH adjustments. The preferred barrier form has the permselective medium (e.g. a lipid or ester) immobilised by incorporation as plasticiser in a polymer (especially PVC). The preferred detector is an electrode, especially of non-potentiometric type. The sensor can be used to detect components as such or indirectly by allowing them to react to produce other materials to which the detector responds (e.g. an ionic species or an ion concentration or activity change) and is also applicable to detecting neutral or small uncharged hydrophilic species, e.g. hydrogen peroxide -- especially that formed by enzyme action in the sensor or detector system. <IMAGE>

Patent AU-1998497-A (AU)
Title: Method for resolution of natural-language queries against full-text databases
Inventor: ADDISON EDWIN R
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1997-05-01
Abstract: The method of the present invention combines concept searching, document ranking, high speed and efficiency, browsing capabilities, "intelligent" hypertext, document routing, and summarization (machine abstracting) in an easy-to-use implementation. The method of the present invention also offers Boolean and statistical query options. The method of the present invention is based upon "concept indexing" (an index of "word senses" rather than just words.) It builds its concept index from a "semantic network" of word relationships with word definitions drawn from one or more standard human-language dictionaries. During query, users may select the meaning of a word from the dictionary during query construction, or may allow the method to disambiguate words based on semantic and statistical evidence of meaning. This results in a measurable improvement in precision and recall. Results of searching are retrieved and displayed in ranked order. The ranking process is more sophisticated than prior art systems providing ranking because it takes linguistics and concepts, as well as statistics into account. <IMAGE>
