Patent AU-731060-B2 (AU)
Title: Therapeutic combinations of RAR antagonists and RXR agonists and use thereof
Inventor: CHAMBON PIERRE
IPC: A61P17/02
Filed: 1997-08-28
Granted: 2001-03-22
Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for treating an animal, preferably a human, suffering from or predisposed to a physical disorder by administering an effective amount of a composition comprising at least one RAR antagonist, preferably an RARalpha antagonist, and at least one RXR agonist. The combination of an RXR agonist, which has no therapeutic effects alone, with an RAR antagonist allows the use of lower doses of the RAR antagonist than were previously thought to be efficacious; this approach obviates many of the undesirable physiological side-effects of treatment with RAR antagonists.
Patent AU-627780-B2 (AU)
Title: Retortable container
Inventor: PARKINSON KEITH
IPC: B65D81/34
Filed: 1989-10-13
Granted: 1992-09-03
Abstract: A retortable container has a wall of at least two co-formed laminae. This wall is highly impermeable to fluids selected from the group consisting of oxygen and aromatic vapors. The wall includes a first load-carrying lamina (72) of a first plastic material. This load-carrying lamina has been formed without mechanical hysteresis in the melt phase by a thermal pressure forming apparatus to cause strengthening with orientation of the load-carrying lamina in at least one axis but without memory of its pre-melt phase shape. The wall also includes a second sealing lamina (82) of a second plastic material. This second sealing lamina is coextensive with the first load-carrying lamina. Consequently, the container formed by the apparatus is retortable, i.e. it can withstand temperatures and pressures of a retort chamber without undergoing significant and permanent distortion.

Title: Recovery of metal values from aqueous solutions
Inventor: TURCOTTE GILLES RENE
IPC: C22B3/36
Filed: 1989-10-24
Granted: 1992-05-14
Abstract: There is described the recovery, by extraction, of valuable metals, for example gallium, contained in an aqueous solution, the stages of the extraction comprising the bringing of the aqueous solution into contact with a water-immiscible organic phase containing a water- insoluble substituted 8-hydroxyquinoline, the valuable metals being transferred into the organic phase, separation of the organic phase from the aqueous solution and recovery of the valuable metals from the organic phase. The novelty consists in that the valuable metals are recovered by bringing the organic phase, containing the valuable metals, into contact with a concentrated aqueous solution of a strong base, with the valuable metals passing from the organic phase into the aqueous solution and the aqueous solution, containing the recovered valuable metals, having a total hydroxide concentration of at least 4.6 moles per litre, and in subsequently isolating the valuable metals from the aqueous phase.

Title: Method of throughconnecting wideband connections in a digital time switch module between subscribers, and a device for carrying out the method
Inventor: PETERSEN LARS-GORAN
IPC: H04Q3/52
Filed: 1990-06-06
Granted: 1992-07-16
Abstract: A wideband connection between subscribers G and B is throughconnected in a digital time switch module. Information arriving from the transmitting subscriber G is stored in a speech store (SS) on store locations (SM) corresponding to the channel numbers (8, 11, 17, 31) of G. The receiving subscriber B is assigned channels (7, 14, 21, 26). The channel numbers of G are stored in store locations (MM) of a matrix store (MS), and can be read-out via horizontal (HI) and vertical (VI) inputs. A fixed address number (6) is stored in a pointer store (PS) on store location (PM) corresponding to the channel numbers of subscriber B. When establishing the wideband connection, an internal address number (M) is written into a difference store (OS) on a store location (OM) having the address of the fixed address number (6). A time slot counter (TSC) steps forward the time slots (7, 15, 21, 26) of subscriber B and addresses the pointer store (PS), wherein the address number (6) addresses the difference store (OS). On each addressing occasion, the internal address number (M) is read-out to one of the vertical inputs (VI = 18) and the time slot counter (TSC) addresses the horizontal inputs (HI) at the same time. The channel numbers of subscriber G in the store locations (MM) address the speech store (SS) and the content of the store locations (SM) are read-out to the channel numbers of subscriber B. Only the internal address number (M) need to be written-in when establishing the connection.

Abstract: The present invention provides variant HSV-1 glycoprotein D and HSV-2 glycoprotein D molecules capable of preventing infection of cells by herpes simplex virus types 1 and/or 2. Also provided are novel purified and isolated polynucleotides encoding the variant gD molecules. HSV gD-1 and gD-2 region IV variants or fragments thereof are specifically contemplated by the invention. The presently preferred variant molecule gD-1( DELTA 290-299t) is the product of recombinant expression in Sf9 cells of a fusion protein including the signal peptide of honeybee melittin and Patton strain HSV-1 gD wherein (1) the Patton strain amino acid residues 290 through 299 of the mature gD-1 protein have been replaced with the amino acid residues arginine, lysine, isoleucine and phenylalanine, and (2) Patton strain amino acid residues 308 through 369 have been replaced with five histidine residues. When expressed in Sf9 cells, cleavage of the melittin signal peptide results in the presence of aspartate and proline residues at the amino terminus of the variant molecule. The amino acid sequence of gD-1( DELTA 290-299t) is set out in SEQ ID NO: 2 and the preferred DNA sequence encoding gD-1( DELTA 290-299t) is set out in SEQ ID NO: 1.

Title: An asynchronous transfer mode switch
Inventor: SCHRODI KARL
IPC: H04L12/54
Filed: 1991-03-12
Granted: 1993-09-23
Abstract: State of the art/technical problem: When a connection is set up by a switching network 20, the path is selected according to the instantaneous switching network utilisation and is maintained during the connection. The problem of eliminating local blockages through rearrangement of existing connections is not adequately solved due to interferences which thereby occur. Fundamental concept: To provide for ATM with virtual connections the same devices as those which guarantee the correct sequence in connectionless operation. Solution: An output unit 30 is connected downstream of each output of the switching network which guarantees the correct sequence. Advantage: Virtual connections can be adapted at any time without interference to the instantaneous switching network utilisation. The guarantee of the correct sequence can be implemented in such a way that delay jitter is also largely eliminated. <IMAGE>
