Patent AU-714041-B2 (AU)
Title: A long QT syndrome gene which encodes KVLQT1 and its association with minK
Inventor: KEATING MARK F
IPC: C07K14/00
Filed: 1996-12-20
Granted: 1999-12-16
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.

Title: Peroxyacid antimicrobial composition
Inventor: OAKES THOMAS R
IPC: A01N37/16
Filed: 1992-05-29
Granted: 1994-08-18
Abstract: A peroxyacid antimicrobial concentrate and use composition is provided comprising a C1 to C4 peroxycarboxylic acid, and a C6 to C18 peroxyacid. The combination of these acids produces a synergistic effect, providing a much more potent biocide than can be obtained by using these components separately. Other components can be added to the composition such as hydrotrope coupling agents, stabilizers, etc. An effective antimicrobial use solution is formed at low concentrations when the concentrate composition is diluted with water to a pH in the range of about 2 to 8. Sanitizing of substantially fixed, "in-place" processing lines in dairies, breweries, and other food processing operations is one utility of the composition.

Title: Simulator cart
Inventor: BRAYTON DWIGHT
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 2000-03-23
Granted: 2003-11-13
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided which allow control systems to be tested. Specifically, a test system is coupled to a control system in a manner which allows the test system to communicate with and drive the control system by sending and receiving signals via both the controller-I/O communication channel and the field I/O connectors. In essence, the test system is used to both simulate a plant to be controlled and to monitor, validate, and or modify the internal state of the control system controller and possibly the control system I/O interface. Plant simulation is accomplished by simulating the I/O devices to which the control system is coupled (and hence the plant processes) when installed in its operational environment. In addition to the simulation of I/O devices, the test system takes advantage of the fact that many commonly used controller and I/O interfaces are capable of communication with other devices by using such communications ability to provide instructions to or obtain information from a control system's controller(s) and I/O interface(s).

Title: Decorated polyester tube package for aqueous compositions
Inventor: MILLON JOEL
IPC: C08J7/048
Filed: 2000-04-26
Granted: 2004-02-12
Abstract: Injection stretch blowmolded polyester tubes have been developed for use in packaging water-containing products. Polyester resins have good barrier properties for organic materials but poor moisture barrier properties. It has been found that the moisture barrier properties can be increased by coating the exterior surface of the tube with a first material which adheres to the tube polyester surface and to an overlayer of a moisture barrier comprising polyvinylidene chloride, However, since the overlayer of polyvinylidene chloride can develop a yellow tint, the overlayer in one embodiment is coated with an opaque decorative layer to prevent or mask the gradual yellowing of the polyvinylidene chloride overlayer. In another embodiment where the tube is to be substantially transparent, the product in the tube will have a color that will substantially cancel the yellow tint that is developed by the polyvinylidene chloride overlayer. In a further embodiment the tube is of a color to cancel out the yellow tint color of the polyvinylidene chloride layer. The moisture transmission of the tube wall in any of the embodiments is reduced to less than about 1 gram/m2/day. In a preferred embodiment both the tube wall and the upper tube shoulder have this coating structure to decrease moisture loss from the contained product through both the tube shoulder and the sidewall.

Title: A method and circuit board for mounting a semiconductor component
Inventor: HEIDEMANN ROLF
IPC: H01L23/538
Filed: 1989-12-13
Granted: 1992-07-02
Abstract: Printed circuit boards in which the components are secured by a sprung mounting plate are known. The mounting plate serves not only as current path but as cooling plate. Such a component fixture is not suitable for high-frequency applications. The problem of the invention is to mount high-speed chips (for frequencies of over 1 GHz), which cannot be built into small microwave housings owing to the requirements to be met for such high frequencies, on a board in such a way a connection suitable for microwave applications and the necessary heat dissipation from the component can be achieved with simple means. The basic idea of the solution is to connect the metallic base surface of the chip housing (2) to the metallic layers of the multilayer printed circuit board (1) via plated-through holes. For this purpose, the printed circuit board (1) is provided with through holes (21) which open into a mounting pad (20) on the printed circuit board (1) and which are in contact with planar conductor tracks (13, 14) in the printed circuit board. The housing base (4) is placed on the mounting pad (20) and the holes (21) are filled with a molten solder. This connects the housing (2) in a thermally and electrically conducting manner to the planar conductor tracks (13, 14). <IMAGE>
