Patent AU-2368401-A (AU)
Title: Method and device for the determination of the gas permeability of a container
Inventor: GEBELE THOMAS
IPC: G01M3/32
Filed: 2000-12-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for the determination of the gas permeability of a container, for example, a PET bottle. Said container is enclosed by a sheath, which hermetically seals the container from the environment. The intermediate space, between the container and the sheath, has only a very small volume in comparison to the volume of the container. The determination of the gas permeability is begun by bringing said intermediate space to, for example, atmospheric pressure, whilst the container is filled with a test gas by means of a special feed, until the container is at an overpressure relative to the intermediate space. The pressure in the intermediate space increases by means of the resulting diffusion of the test gas through the wall of the container into said intermediate space. The increase in pressure per unit time is a measure of the permeability of the container.

Title: Method of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopic analysis and associated apparatus
Inventor: OCALI OGAN
IPC: G01R33/54
Filed: 1997-04-18
Abstract: The invention provides a method for magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopic analysis of a specimen which includes positioning the specimen within a main magnetic field and introducing an antenna having a loopless antenna portion in close proximity to the specimen. Radio frequency pulses are provided to the region of interest to excite magnetic resonance signals, gradient magnetic pulses are applied to the region of interest with the antenna receiving magnetic resonance signals and emitting responsive output signals. A processor processes the responsive output signals to provide image information for display in a desired manner. The method in a preferred form involves employing a flexible antenna. The method in another preferred form involves employing an impedance matching circuit electrically interposed between the loopless antenna and the processor to enhance radio frequency power transfer and magnetic resonance signal-to-noise ratio from the loopless antenna to the processor. The method may be used on a wide variety of specimens and in a preferred use is introduced into small blood vessels of a patient to facilitate determination of atherosclerotic plaque. Medical intervention procedures, such as plaque removal, may be employed generally simultaneously with the imaging of the present invention. Corresponding apparatus and magnetic resonance antenna assembly are provided.

Title: Radio controlled engine kill switch
Inventor: MURRAY STEVE
IPC: B63J99/00
Filed: 1997-04-24
Abstract: A engine kill switch system has a transmitter and receiver which are linked through specific transmitted codes within a frequency. The receiver is mounted directly on the boat and wired to an engine kill switch, maintaining the switch in the closed position as long as a signal is received from all of the activated transmitters. Once the transmitter signal is unintentionally deactivated, the receiver shuts down the engine. A range adjustment allows the separation distance between the transmitter and receiver to be changed, dependent upon the size of the boat and end use. A strobe and audio warning can also be attached to the receiver and activated simultaneously with, or as an alternative to, the deactivation of the engine. Automatic transmitter activation and deactivation can be provided through storage ports tied to the receiver. The transmitter is a battery powered remote device carried by a user. The transmitter has a programmed unique code recognized by the receiver. The system, or individual components, are provided with deactivation codes entered through an input device. The system can also be used as an antitheft device simply by removal of one transmitter, thereby rendering the engine inoperable.

Patent AU-3212900-A (AU)
Title: Activation of regulatory t cells by alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone
Inventor: TAYLOR ANDREW W
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2000-01-21
Abstract: The invention encompasses a method of down-regulating a T cell-mediated immune response, through activation or T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation of antigen-primed T cells in the presence of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), which may be optionally enhanced by adding transforming growth factor-beta2 (TGF-beta2) approximately 4-6 hours after the start of the primed T cells' exposure to alpha-MSH. Activation of the primed T cells may be mediated by presentation of the specific antigen to the primed T cells, or by an anti-TCR antibody or a T cell mitogen. As a result of the alpha-MSH treatment modulating the T cell activation, antigen-specific, regulatory, CD 4 +/CD 25 + T cells are generated that produce transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and can non-specifically down-regulate Th 1 -mediated inflammatory activities. The method may be used to down-regulate or suppress an autoimmune condition or a graft rejection in a transplant patient. The invention also encompasses a kit for generating regulatory T cell comprising a specific antigen, alpha-MSH, and optionally, TGF-beta2 and/or a T cell culture medium. Also provided are gene therapy treatments for suppressing an autoimmune or graft rejection response, or for re-establishing autotolerance, by introducing genetic material (e.g. nucleic acid) for expressing alpha-MSH or a receptor-binding portion thereof, into a localized tissue site.
