Title: Heat exchanger for use in building ventilation systems
Inventor: WILSON GEORGE
IPC: F24F7/08
Filed: 2001-09-21
Abstract: A heat exchanger for use in building ventilation systems to transfer heat from warm air extracted from the building to cold air supplied to building is described.  The heat exchanger includes a plurality of plate members, lower type and upper type, stacked parallel above one another to define two separate fluid flow paths between alternate pairs of adjacent plate members and contained within a base plate and a top plate, two side plates and four inlet grilles.  To ensure the zigzag walls and channels do not nest with one another and restrict flow, the pattern of zigzag walls is interrupted over the surface of the lower plate by several pips located in channels between internal walls.  The walls in the region of the pips is reduced in height to form notches so that air flowing along the channels can flow through the notches into adjacent channels and is not restricted by the presence of the pips.

Title: A substrate and a method for determining and/or monitoring electrophysiological properties of ion channels
Inventor: PETERSEN JON WULFF
IPC: G01N33/483
Filed: 2000-10-02
Abstract: The present invention relates to a substrate and a method for obtaining an electrophysiological measuring configuration in which a cell forms a high resistive seal (giga-seal) around a measuring electrode making it suitable for determining and monitoring a current flow through the cell membrane. The substrate is typically part of an apparatus for studying electrical events in cell membranes, such as an apparatus for carrying out patch clamp techniques utilised to study ion transfer channels in biological membranes. The substrate has a plurality or an array of measuring sites with integrated measuring and reference electrodes formed by wafer processing technology. The electrodes are adapted to conduct a current between them by delivery of ions by one electrode and receipt of ions by the other electrode and are typically silver/silver halide electrodes. This allows for effective and fast measuring of cells in configurations where there is a direct electrical connection between the measuring electrode and the cell interior, a whole-cell measuring configuration.
Patent NZ-520412-A (NZ)
Title: Low density paperboard articles
Inventor: MOHAN KOSARAJU KRISHNA
IPC: B65D81/38
Filed: 2001-01-26
Abstract: The invention provides a low density paperboard material (12) and associated method for use in producing an insulated container, and is especially well-suited for making cups (10). The paperboard material (12) comprises a paperboard web including wood fibers and expanded microspheres (24), and has a relatively low density ranging from about 6 to about 10 lb/3MSF/mil, a relatively high caliper ranging from about 24 to about 35 mil, and an internal bond strength of at least about 80 x 10-3 1ft-lbf. For applications such as cups the material is also coated on one or both sides with a barrier coating, preferably low density polyethylene, to limit liquid penetration into the web. The low density paperboard material of the invention is convertible for manufacture of containers, particularly cups, and exhibits insulative properties comparable to higher cost materials conventionally used to make cups. Also, the surface of the low density board may have a sheffield smoothness of 300 SU or greater compared with the surface smoothness of 160 to 200 SU for conventional cupstock, the latter having been thought necessary for adequate print quality. However, it has been found that the low density board exhibits good printability on flexo printing machines despite its relatively rough surface, which is surprising and bonus effect realized.
