Patent AU-2195097-A (AU)
Title: Inhibition of selectin binding
Inventor: SPEVAK WAYNE R
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1997-02-28
Abstract: This invention provides compositions for inhibiting the binding between two cells, one expressing P- or L-selectin on the surface and the other expressing the corresponding ligand. A covalently crosslinked lipid composition is prepared having saccharides and acidic group on separate lipids. The composition is then interposed between the cells so as to inhibit binding. Inhibition can be achieved at an effective oligosaccharide concentration as low as 106 fold below that of the free saccharide. Since selectins are involved in recruiting cells to sites of injury, these composition scan be used to palliate certain inflammatory and immunological conditions.

Title: Nitric oxide synthesis inhibitors for potentiating the action of pressor agents in certain hypotensive patients
IPC: A61K31/223
Filed: 1992-07-01
Abstract: A method for treatment of an animal for systemic hypotension induced by internal nitric oxide production caused by endotoxin or cytokines. The method involves administering an  alpha 1 adrenergic agonist and an amount of an inhibitor of nitric oxide formation from arginine to restore vascular contractile sensitivity to  alpha 1 adrenergic agonists. A preferred inhibitor of nitric oxide formation is an NG-substituted arginine having at least one hydrogen on a guanidino amino group replaced by another atomic or molecular species, including NG-aminoarginine, NG-nitroarginine, and NG-alkylarginines such as NG-methylarginine, NG-ethylarginine, NG-propylarginine and NG-butylarginine. Arginine derivative inhibitors are preferably of the L configuration and include pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts. Treatment of systemic hypotension in a patient which has been induced by chemotherapy with biologic response modifiers such as tumor necrosis factor or interleukin-2 may be likewise accomplished. Treatment of an animal for systemic hypotension induced by endotoxin, or other bacterial toxins, e.g., septic shock, may also be accomplished by treatment with  alpha 1 adrenergic agonists and an inhibitor such as an arginine derivative, restoring vascular contractile sensitivity to the  alpha 1 adrenergic agonists.

Title: Multigrade asphalt cement product and process
Inventor: KRIECH ANTHONY J
IPC: C10C3/02
Filed: 1988-08-29
Abstract: A gelled asphalt cement having improved properties over conventional asphalt cement, including reduced temperature susceptibility and lower rate of age hardening is disclosed.

Title: Prioritization between handoff and new call requests in a cellular communications system
Inventor: BODIN ROLAND
IPC: H04W36/08
Filed: 1992-12-08
Abstract: A method and system for ensuring that handoff requests take priority over new cell requests to engage voice channels assigned to a particular target cell are provided. A certain number of channels are reserved for handoff requests. However, if no channels, reserved or unreserved, are available, handoff requests to a particular target cell are stored in a corresponding queue for a predetermined period of time. Thus, when voice channels become available, they are seized in order to satisfy the handoff requests stored in that queue. If the handoff queue is empty, new call requests to a target cell may be assigned to available voice channels.

Title: Pressure vessel with composite sleeve for microwave assisted chemistry applications
Inventor: HARGETT WYATT PRICE JR
IPC: H05B6/80
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: A self sealing vessel assembly for high pressure microwave assisted chemistry is disclosed. The vessel assembly includes a polymeric cylinder (12) and a circular polymeric cap (13) for the cylinder, the cylinder being closed at one end and open at the other end to receive the cap. The open end of the cylinder has a lip that is bevelled inwardly from the open end, and the circular polymeric cap (13) has a bevelled lower edge that engages the bevelled lip when the cap (13) is placed upon the polymeric cylinder (12). For high pressure applications, a choke cylinder depends from the bevelled lower edge of the cap, and has an outer diameter substantially the same as the inner diameter of the polymeric cylinder (12) so that the choke provides a self sealing mechanism for the cylinder as pressure from a chemical reaction increases within the cylinder. A supporting frame (14) extends along the cylinder (12) and across the lid (13) and across the closed end of the cylinder, and prevents the lid from being displaced from the cylinder when pressure is generated inside of the vessel. <IMAGE>

Title: Splitting of non-metallic materials
Inventor: KONDRATENKO VLADIMIR STEPANOVI
IPC: B26F3/16

Title: Means for identifying data structures
Inventor: TURBAN KARL-ALBERT
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 1993-08-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for synchronisation of a system which is frame-structured along the lines of a digital synchronous hierarchy, in particular according to CCITT G.708. A frame synchronisation word is determined in a search mode, and a first pointer (AU-4), which is positioned at a predetermined interval from the synchronisation word and which addresses a cell-structured data field (VC4), is then read. The headers of the ATM cells addressed via the pointer are then decoded in the data field and if x headers are correctly decoded in succession, transition to the synchronisation state takes place. 
<??>If data structures of an SDH system or a purely cell-structured transmission of ATM cells can be identified, an incoming bit string is examined for a predetermined frame synchronisation word (SDH frame) and subsequently for regularly inserted cell header-indicating code words and a transition takes place to either a frame synchronisation mode or a cell synchronisation mode.

IPC: G03F7/022
Filed: 1979-12-07
Abstract: A process for the preparation of planographic printing forms is described, in which a light-sensitive material composed of a support having a hydrophilic surface and of a light-sensitive layer, which contains a 1,2-naphthoquinone-diazide, is exposed imagewise, developed and then heated to a temperature above 180 DEG  C. for such a time and at such a temperature level that an oleophilic precipitate is formed on the hydrophilic image background, and the precipitate is then removed by treatment, for example wiping over, with an aqueous solution of about 0.01 to 50% by weight of polyvinyl phosphonic acid. The treatment has the advantage that in this case the support surface, for example anodically produced aluminum oxide, is not significantly attacked and is nevertheless completely freed from impurities.

Title: Powered rotatable curved instrument
Inventor: SMITH GRAHAM
IPC: A61B17/28
Filed: 1994-01-28
Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a first member that has an opening in its distal region for admitting tissue and that is rotatable with respect to a base from which the first member extends to allow the rotational orientation of the opening to be selectively changed with respect to the axis of the instrument. A second member is disposed within the first member to transmit force to move a cutting implement disposed at its distal end and cause it to cut tissue that is exposed to the implement through the opening. In one embodiment, a curved, rigid member is disposed coaxially with the first and second members to provide the first member with a bend region that angularly offsets the distal region (and hence the opening) from the axis of the instrument in a selected direction. The first member is relatively flexible, at least in the bend region, to allow the rotational orientation of the opening to be changed without changing the selected direction of the offset. At least a portion of the second member that is disposed in the bend region is also relatively flexible to transmit the applied force through the bend region to the cutting implement. <IMAGE>
