Patent AU-2009261466-B2 (AU)
Title: Heat exchanger
Inventor: KIM HYUNYOUNG
IPC: F28F1/32
Filed: 2009-06-17
Granted: 2012-08-02
Abstract: A heat exchanger from which condensation water is more smoothly discharged.  In a heat exchanger (10), first cut lines (121) and second cut lines (122) are formed in a blank material for corrugated fins (12) before the blank material is bent in corrugations.  The first cut lines (121) each cross an imaginary center line (X) of a bent section of the corrugations, and the second cut lines (122) each extend from the vicinity of an end of the first cut line (121) and cross the imaginary center line (X).  When the blank plate is bent, acute-angled triangle portions sandwiched between the first cut lines (121) and the second cut lines (122) are raised to form cut-and-raised sections (12b).  The distance between the top and root of each cut-and-raised section (12b) is greater than that of conventional products to increase the amount of contact between cut-and-raised sections (12b) adjacent to each other in the top-bottom direction.  This allows condensation water to more easily flow through the cut-and-raised sections (12b), improving water discharge ability of the heat exchanger.

Title: Method for cultivating plants as well as a floating carrier
Inventor: VAN DER KNAAP MAURICE CORNELIS ANTONIUS
IPC: A01G9/00
Filed: 2010-02-15
Granted: 2015-01-22
Abstract: Method for the floating cultivation of a plant (9), in which, in a first stage of growth, the roots of the plant are kept at a distance from a water supply (8) which is situated underneath the plant. The supply of moisture to said plant can be effected via the intermediate space (10) between the float for said plant and the water supply and from the top side of the plant (leaf part). As the plant develops further, the root system grows in the direction of the water supply and, in a second stage of growth, the vast majority of the water requirement is satisfied directly by said water supply. This is achieved by means of a panel (3) which floats on the water supply and is provided with holes (6) for accommodating the plant. If desired, this panel may be provided with recesses which are closed at their top sides and reduce the area of contact with the water and provide closed chambers (7).

Title: Novel tissue protective erythropoietin receptor (NEPOR) and methods of use
Inventor: JACKSON DAVID B
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2010-05-26
Granted: 2015-07-23
Abstract: There is disclosed a molecular composition(s) of a novel tissue protective erythropoietin (EPO) binding receptor protein complex, termed NEPOR. Presence of NEPOR components on a tumour allows EPO to impinge on the survival of associated cells thereby enhancing tumour progression and negatively effecting patient survival. Presence of NEPOR represents a prognostic bio marker for poorer patient outcome. Thus, methods are provided for stratifying patients having a tumour as suitable (i.e. NEPOR not present) or non-suitable (i.e., NEPOR present) for EPO treatment, comprising: (a) isolating a tissue sample from an individual who is receiving or is a candidate for receiving erythropoietin, (b) determining the level of expression of the NEPOR gene(s) (mRNA) and/or the presence of the NEPOR gene product (protein) from the isolated tissue, and (c) correlating the presence of an NEPOR gene expression product or the presence of NEPOR protein to a physiological response to the treatment with erythropoietin. Furthermore, by disclosing the molecular compositions of NEPOR species, there are disclosed methods for rationally identifying/designing NEPOR modulating therapeutics. Methods also are provided for treating neurological insults such as stroke (via enhancement of NEPOR activity) and cancer (via down-regulation of cyto- protective signaling from NEPOR).

Title: Turbine with radial inlet and outlet rotor for use in bidirectional flows
Inventor: FRANCO DE OLIVEIRA FALCAO ANTONIO
IPC: F03B3/18
Filed: 2011-02-15
Granted: 2016-02-04
Abstract: The present invention describes a turbine for extracting energy from an alternating bidirectional flow, as is the case in ocean wave energy conversion systems. The turbine has a blade rotor with two peripheral openings through which fluid is alternatively admitted and discharged, as a radial centripetal flow when admitted and as a radial centrifugal flow when discharged. Two embodiments of the stator are possible, to promote the deflection of the flow as it nears the rotor, creating a circumferential speed component of flow oriented in the same direction as the normal direction of rotation of the rotor, with the aim in both cases of minimising discharge flow turbulences. In one embodiment, the guide blades are arranged near the rotor and move axially depending on the direction of flow so as to guide the inflow and not hinder the discharge flow. In another embodiment, the guide blades are axially fixed and arranged at a distance from the rotor in the radial direction.
