Patent AU-4232600-A (AU)
Title: Suture package
Inventor: BRAGINSKY MICHAEL
IPC: B65D73/00
Filed: 2000-04-11
Abstract: The present invention provides a suture package and packaging method which ensures rapid access to sutures, one at a time, from a suture package which is easy to handle and store. Each suture is readily located in an advantageous position in the package, to be grasped by a needle holder, without the possibility of pulling unwanted sutures from the package, or the need to fumble through a bunch of needles to ensure that a single suture is obtained. This is done by providing a suture package, comprising a panel or panels having an open window to expose the needles, and a plurality of raised support elements on at least one side of the panel, which elements support a suture in conjunction with the panel, the support elements being arranged to permit withdrawal of a suture from the package by pulling one end of the suture in a direction parallel to the plane of the panel. The needle window opening is located on the top edge of the package, exposing the needles in the opening, and showing the number of sutures available, as well as allowing access to the needles. Preferably, the suture package also employs at least one panel which has support elements for supporting sutures on each side of the panel. Preferably, the panels comprise separate needle window openings for the sutures on each side, and those needle window openings are separated from each other, so that the withdrawal of the suture will withdraw only one suture and in the assembled package, the windows on each panel line up with each other.

Title: Chimeric target molecules having a regulatable activity
Inventor: LEGENDRE DANIEL
IPC: C12N9/00
Filed: 1997-11-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to a chimeric target molecule having an activity which can be regulated or modulated by a binding molecule. The invention also relates to methods of using the chimeric target molecule to detect the presence and/or amount of a desired analyte in a sample. The analyte is a binding molecule, or a competitor of a binding molecule, which binding molecule, upon binding to the target molecule, alters the activity of the target molecule in a detectable way. In one aspect of the invention, a binding molecule binds to the chimeric molecule, inactivating it. An analyte in a test sample competes and/or displaces the binding molecule from the chimera, reactivating it. The reappearance of activity in the presence of the analyte indicates its existence in the test sample existence and amount. Another aspect of the invention relates to a binding molecule which regulates a chimeric target molecule and methods of producing it.

Title: Truncated triangular insulator
Inventor: CAMPBELL F
IPC: F27B9/24
Filed: 1980-10-28
Abstract: An insulator suitable for use with a truncated triangular shaped support member or skid pipe having a base member, a pair of converging side members which terminate in an apex member and a pair of shoulders extending oppositely one another from the joinder of the apex member and each corresponding side member. The insulator includes a base unit and a pair of converging side walls. When slidingly received around the skid pipe, the insulator closely conforms to the periphery of the base member and side members of the skid pipe. The side walls of the insulator preferably abut a lower lip of each shoulder so that molten slag and other impurities cannot migrate between the insulator and the skid pipe to degrade and dislodge the insulator. The insulator is secured to the support member by its novel geometry; that is, when the insulator is slidingly received around the structural member, the converging side walls of the insulator bear against the converging side members of the structural member thereby maintaining the insulator in proper position on the structural member.

Title: Site protected protein modification
Inventor: PETTIT DEAN K
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1998-03-05
Abstract: Processes for conjugating proteins with polyethylene glycol are disclosed. The disclosed processes provide modified proteins having little or no decrease in their activity and include the steps of protecting one or more sites on the protein, contacting the protected protein with polyethylene glycol under conditions suitable for conjugating the polyethylene glycol to the protein, and deprotecting the protein. This advantageous retention of a desired protein activity is attributed to the availability of one or more protein binding sites which is unaltered in the conjugation process and thus remains sterically free to interact with a binding partner ligand or cognate subsequent to the conjugation process.
