Title: Articulated seat
Inventor: JACQUES LESCURE
IPC: A47C1/032
Filed: 1983-04-27
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FR83/00078 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 23, 1983 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 23, 1983 PCT Filed Apr. 27, 1983 PCT Pub. No. WO83/03957 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 24, 1983.A back rest and a chair seat are pivoted to each other about a displaceable axis and the back rest is pivotally attached to a support along an axis parallel to that axis. The back rest and the seat are continuously displaceable with respect to each other between a sitting position and a recumbent position of the user. At least the displacement of the chair seat is guided at the end opposite to the axis of pivotal attachment of the seat to the back rest along a curve so determined that, when the back rest and seat undergo a displacement between the two positions mentioned above, the center of gravity of the user's body moves away from a horizontal plane over a distance which is sufficiently short to ensure that the user can modify the relative position of the back rest and seat by exerting acceptable efforts without any need to rise from the chair.

Patent AU-1742897-A (AU)
Title: KVLQT1 - A long QT syndrome gene which encodes KVLQT1 which coassembles with minK to form cardiac 1ks potassium channels
Inventor: KEATING MARK T
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1996-12-20
Abstract: One aspect of the invention relates to the identification of the molecular basis of long QT syndrome. More specifically, the invention has identified that mutated KVLQT1 causes long QT syndrome. The analysis of this gene will provide an early diagnosis of subjects with long QT syndrome. The diagnostic methods comprise analyzing the nucleic acid sequence of the KVLQT1 gene of an individual to be tested and comparing them with the nucleic acid sequence of the native, non-variant gene. Alternatively, the amino acid sequence of KVLQT1 may be analyzed for mutations which cause long QT syndrome. Presymptomatic diagnosis of long QT syndrome will enable practitioners to treat this disorder using existing medical therapy. A second aspect of the invention relates to the realization that KVLQT1 coassembles with minK to form a cardiac potassium channel.; This allows one to assay for drugs which interact with this channel to identify new drugs which are useful for treating or preventing long QT.

Patent AU-2694092-A (AU)
Title: Actuator and hood for dispensing device
IPC: B65D83/14
Filed: 1992-09-23
Abstract: A dispenser device for a foam producing gel includes an actuator and a hood, the actuator being mounted at the top of a gel container and having an inlet contacting the valve stem of the gel container and a nozzle having an outlet directed radially outwardly from the top of the container. The hood is open at the bottom and engages the outer surface of the actuator to cover the actuator when not in use. An opening is provided in the hood and a notch in the rim of the opening contacts a detent on the outer surface of the actuator to ensure that the hood opening is opposite the nozzle outlet of the actuator when the hood is in place. The hood opening when so positioned serves to inhibit excess foaming of gel remaining between the actuator inlet and nozzle outlet when the hood is in place after usage, and a notch is formed in the nozzle structure below the actuator outlet to provide a path of flow downwardly from the outlet as foamed product expands outwardly from the outlet.
