Patent AU-4146701-A (AU)
Title: Controlled vapor phase oxidation of titanium tetrachloride to manufacture titanium dioxide
Inventor: DEBERRY JAMES CLARK
IPC: C01G23/07
Filed: 2001-02-09
Abstract: A process for controlling the formation of TiO2 particles in a multi-stage vapor-phase oxidation reactor wherein the process includes the steps of limiting the fraction of TiCl4 converted into TiO2 in the reaction stream of a first or intermediate stage of the reactor under conditions that control the mean residence time distribution of the reacting mass. By running the reaction in this manner, the growth of TiO2 particles produced is so controlled that after subsequent standard finishing steps (e.g. milling) the fraction of particles having an average size of less than 0.5 mum is reduced or minimized.

Title: A fluidized bed reactor system and method of operation thereof
Inventor: HYPPANEN TIMO
IPC: F23D1/00
Filed: 1996-01-04
Abstract: A fluidized bed assembly, such as an ash cooler, includes first and second fluidized bed chambers each having a bottom portion and side walls. Fluidizing gas is introduced into the bottom portions to fluidize particulates within the chambers. A flow equalizer (such as a barrier having a number of openings associated with it) separates the chambers and provides a substantial uniform flow of particulates from the first chamber to the second chamber so that no dead spots or corners form in the chambers adjacent the flow equalizer. Heat exchanger components are typically provided in the barrier for circulating heat exchange fluid through the barrier. Also, heat exchangers are provided in one or both of the chambers to cool the particulates. The particulates mix in the second chamber, and after cooling may be recirculated to a gasifier/combustor for supplying ash to the first chamber. A classifier chamber is connected between the reactor and the first chamber. Fluidizing gas may be returned from the chambers to the reactor.

Title: Waste water treatment system
Inventor: ROSENBERGER STEFAN
IPC: G21F9/04
Filed: 2000-10-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing waste streams wherein a slipstream is formed on the upstream side of an ultrafiltration membrane (120) to carry collected and concentrated filter reject to a microfilter (170) via a conduit (155) at low flux through the microfilter (170). The low flux allows the particles to form an irregular matrix that itself helps to trap particles. The effluent from this matrix and microfilter (170) is returned upstream of the ultrafiltration membrane (120) to be repeatedly collected and concentrated. The suspended solids removed from the reject stream and microfilter (170) are then disposed of without further processing. To improve metal ion removal efficiency, sulfide compounds, etc. can be injected upstream of ultrafiltration membrane (120). A combination of ozone and water can be used to backflush or to clean the ultrafiltration membrane (120). The backflushing water can be filtrate from the ultrafiltration membrane (120).

Title: Apparatus and method for non-invasively monitoring a subject's arterial blood pressure
Inventor: VOSS GREGORY I
IPC: A61B5/022
Filed: 1999-07-15
Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for non-invasively monitoring a subject's blood pressure, in which a pressure sensor assembly (14) that includes a pressure transducer (50) is compressed against tissue overlying an artery, with sufficient force to compress the artery. A motor (32) first servo control system optimizes the amount of artery compression, which occurs at a mean transmural pressure of about zero, by modulating one side of a lever arm (36) compressing the assembly against the tissue, creating a pressure signal indicative of transmural pressure. Since different pressure effects are realized according to the amount of artery compression, an appropriate control signal can be produced that provides for a second motor (34) to adjust the other side of the lever arm (36) to provide the optimum compression of the assembly into the tissue overlying the artery. The apparatus is optimally positioned over an artery by including an ultrasonic blood flow sensor configured to sense the flow of blood under the pressure transducer.

Title: Molecular differences between species of the (m. tuberculosis) complex
Inventor: BEHR MARCEL
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1999-08-10
Abstract: Specific genetic deletions are identified in mycobacteria isolates, including variations in the  M.tuberculosis  genome between isolates, and numerous deletions present in BCG as compared to  M.tb.  These deletions are used as markers to distinguish between pathogenic and avirulent strains, and as a marker for particular  M.tb  isolates. Deletions specific to vaccine strains of BCG are useful in determining whether a positive tuberculin skin test is indicative of actual tuberculosis infection. The deleted sequences may be re-introduced into BCG to improve the efficacy of the vaccination. Alternatively, the genetic sequence that corresponds to the deletion(s) is deleted from  M.bovis  or  M.tuberculosis  to attenuate the pathogenic bacteria.
