Patent AU-5123199-A (AU)
Title: Nutritional and therapeutic uses of 3-hydroxyalkanoate oligomers
Inventor: MARTIN DAVID P
IPC: A23L1/30
Filed: 1999-07-22
Abstract: Nutritional or therapeutic compositions are provided for increasing ketone body levels in the blood of mammals by providing a source of ketone bodies in the form of linear or cyclic oligomers and/or derivatives of 3-hydroxyacids. The 3-hydroxyacid can be in the form of a linear oligomer of 3-hydroxyacids other than linear homo-oligomers of 3-hydroxybutyric acid if administered in combination with acetoacetate, cyclic oligomers of 3-hydroxyacids, esters of the linear or cyclic oligomers, esters of 3-hydroxyacids other than 3-hydroxybutyric acid, and combinations thereof. An oligomer generally refers to a polymer of three or more hydroxyacids. Preferred 3-hydroxyacids include 3-hydroxybutyrate, 3-hydroxyvalerate, 3-hydroxyhexanoate, and 3-hydroxyheptanoate. Oligomers of odd-carbon number 3-hydroxyacids such as 3-hydroxyvalerate have advantages since they have a higher energy content than oligomers of 3-hydroxyacids having an even-number of carbons. The cyclic oligomers have advantageous properties since they result in a sustained, and/or controlled, ketone blood level over a period of hours. The compositions can be administered orally, for example, as a nutritional or dietary supplement, or intravenously. Increasing blood ketone levels is useful for seizure control, metabolic disease control, reduction of protein catabolism, appetite suppression, parenteral nutrition, increasing cardiac efficiency, treatment of diabetes and insulin resistant states, and treatment of effects of neurodegenerative disorders and epilepsy.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP90/00487 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 20, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 20, 1992 PCT Filed Mar. 27, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO82/03745 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 11, 1982.In a method and an apparatus for forage processing, in order to accelerate its drying process, mown stalk material is fed to rotating pressing elements (7, 7a, 7b), which consolidate the stalk material into a mat of stalk material. In order to produce an inherently stable mat of stalk material, the thickness and density of said mat are to be held constant, independent of the quantity of stalk material supplied by a mowing or collecting means (1), and the forage constituents within the mat are to be better mixed. To this end, the volume of stalk material fed to the pressing means (7) and a conveying speed of the pressing elements (7a and 7b) are continuously transmitted to a control means (20) as measured values, and on the basis of these parameters the conveying speed is reduced by means of the control means (20) in the case of a small quantity of stalk material accumulating (FIG. 1).

Inventor: SIRCAR SUBHASISH
IPC: F28F9/04
Filed: 2000-07-12
Abstract: One free machining aluminum alloy includes bismuth as a free machining elemental constituent that functions as a discontinuity in the aluminum alloy matrix rather than a low melting point compound.

Another free machining aluminum alloy has bismuth and tin as free machining constituents for improved machining. When using bismuth and tin, the bismuth ranges between 0.1 and 3.0% by weight and the tin ranges between 0.1 and 1.5% by weight.
Patent AU-6081099-A (AU)
Title: Reactor and method for carrying out electrochemical reactions
Inventor: LOWE HOLGER
IPC: C25B9/17
Filed: 1999-09-10
Abstract: Reactor for carrying out electrochemical reactions with an electrode and a counter-electrode are known, whereby the electrodes are separated form one another by a capillary gap. Such reactors do not comprise a homogeneous flow rate distribution in the capillary gap which can thus lead to a reduction of selectivity and of local temperature increases. In addition, high ohmic resistance requires the use of conducting salts. The aim of the invention is to provide a reactor in which the voltage drop in the electrolyte is minimized and which can be better optimized over a short resistance time distribution. To this end, the capillary gap comprises at least one channel as a reaction chamber having a height less than or equal to 200 mum. According to the inventive method, the volume flow of the educt current is measured such that the flow of the educt current is laminar over the length of the channel having a height less than or equal to 200 mum.
Patent AU-6129094-A (AU)
Title: Technique for bridging local area networks having non-unique node addresses
Inventor: FISCHER MICHAEL A
IPC: H04L12/46
Filed: 1994-01-27
Abstract: A bridging apparatus provides the capability of transparently and unambiguously communicating LAN packets between two separate LAN segments which have nodes with duplicate IDs. A communicator connected to each LAN segment includes a controller which aliases the source identification (SID) of remotely originated or sourced LAN packets with an unused ID which is an alias (AID) before sending the LAN packet with the AID as its SID on the local LAN segment. The reverse occurs in response to locally sourced LAN packets containing the AID as the DID. The ID of the remote node which correlates to the AID is substituted as the DID before the LAN packet is transmitted to the remote LAN segment. By aliasing in this manner LAN packets are communicated by use of the AIDs between the nodes having the duplicate IDs on the two LAN segments without changing the LAN protocol. Each communicator preferably includes a transmitter and receiver by which to communicate bridge packets between communicators. The LAN packets are encapsulated in the bridge packets. Unique communicator source and destination identifications are included in each bridge packet to form a tuple which uniquely identifies each node in the Group without regard to the duplicate IDs on the separate LAN segments.
