Patent AU-2334899-A (AU)
Title: Apparatuses and processes for whole-body hyperthermia
Inventor: ASH STEPHEN R
IPC: A61M1/36
Filed: 1999-01-22
Abstract: Apparatuses for use in whole body hypothermia include a high-flow hyperthermia circuit coupled to a low-flow dialysis circuit in a manner which reduces tensioning of membranes in the dialyzer of the dialysis circuit. The arrangement thereby allows proper membrane movement to assist in mixing a sorbent suspension circulated on the sorbent side of the dialyzer. Additional dialysis apparatuses include advantageous disposable packs including the dialyzer, sorbent heat exchangers arranged to cooperate with heating elements on base units of the apparatuses, and adaptations for very high flow rates useful in the hyperthermic treatment of cancers.
Patent AU-2377600-A (AU)
Title: Periodic speech coding
Inventor: MANJUNATH SHARATH
IPC: G10L19/22
Filed: 1999-12-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for coding a quasi-periodic speech signal. The speech signal is represented by a residual signal generated by filtering the speech signal with a Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) analysis filter. The residual signal is encoded by extracting a prototype period from a current frame of the residual signal. A first set of parameters is calculated which describes how to modify a previous prototype period to approximate the current prototype period. One or more codevectors are selected which, when summed, approximate the error between the current prototype period and the modified previous prototype. A multi-stage codebook is used to encode this error signal. A second set of parameters describe these selected codevectors. The decoder synthesizes an output speech signal by reconstructing a current prototype period based on the first and second set of parameters, and the previous reconstructed prototype period. The residual signal is then interpolated over the region between the current and previous reconstructed prototype periods. The decoder synthesizes output speech based on the interpolated residual signal.

Title: Image processing apparatus and method
Inventor: PIRIM PATRICK
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 1999-01-25
Abstract: A method and apparatus for localizing an area in relative movement and for determining the speed and direction thereof in real time is disclosed. Each pixel of an image is smoothed using its own time constant. A binary value corresponding to the existence of a significant variation in the amplitude of the smoothed pixel from the prior frame, and the amplitude of the variation, are determined, and the time constant for the pixel is updated. For each particular pixel, two matrices are formed that include a subset of the pixels spatially related to the particular pixel. The first matrix contains the binary values of the subset of pixels. The second matrix contains the amplitude of the variation of the subset of pixels. In the first matrix, it is determined whether the pixels along an oriented direction relative to the particular pixel have binary values representative of significant variation, and, for such pixels, it is determined in the second matrix whether the amplitude of these pixels varies in a known manner indicating movement in the oriented direction. In each of several domains, histogram of the values in the first and second matrices falling in such domain is formed. Using the histograms, it is determined whether there is an area having the characteristics of the particular domain. The domains include luminance, hue, saturation, speed (V), oriented direction (D1), time constant (CO), first axis (x(m)), and second axis (y(m)).

Title: A method of biologically cleaning polluted water
Inventor: THOLANDER BENT
IPC: C02F3/12
Filed: 1997-07-02
Abstract: A method of biologically cleaning polluted water uses active sludge and at least three zones, where at least one zone operates as a biological treatment zone and at least two zones variably operate as a biological treatment zone and as a clarifying zone. By this method, the polluted water is fed to a zone operating as a permanent biological treatment zone, where a back-mixing is performed during a period between this zone and a zone variably operating as a biological treatment zone and which has operated as a clarifying zone during a previous period. As a result, the drawbacks are overcome which the known T- and V-channel methods are encumbered with.

IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-02-11
Abstract: The present invention features compositions and methods that are useful for storing labeled detection probes and detecting whether a target nucleic acid sequence is present in a sample. Preferred compositions are made up of a detection probe containing a label susceptible to a chemical or enzymatic alteration and a protection probe that protects the label from alteration and/or decreases the ability of the detection probe to inhibit nucleic acid amplification. Such compositions can be used, for example, to stabilize a detection probe label and to prevent a detection probe from hybridizing prematurely to amplified or target nucleic acid.

Title: Dispenser of individual sheets made of flexible material
Inventor: POHLER HERBERT
IPC: B65H1/24

Abstract: A dispenser of individual sheets made of flexible material, in particular beer mats, has a shaft (1) in which the sheets (2) are stacked. The sheets (2) lie on two parallel horizontal rollers (3, 4). A feeler (5) is arranged between the rollers (3, 4). The shaft (1) is provided with a radial slot (9) oriented in the transport direction of the sheets (2) and located at the height of the sheet (2) that lies on the rollers. A photoelectric barrier located in front of the slot (9) detects a sheet (2) that projects out of the slot (9). The rollers (3, 4) have a controlled drive that turns the roller (3) located away from the slot (9) when the photoelectric barrier is closed, moving the top side of the roller in the direction of the slot (9) until the lowermost sheet (2) touches the feeler (5), then turns the second roller (4) in the same direction of rotation as the first roller and stops the first roller (3) until the sheet (2) that projects out of the slot (9) interrupts the photoelectric barrier, causing both rollers to stop.

Date Aug. 18, 1994In the process for making plastic laminates a stack of prepreg bodies is provided with electrically insulated rigid flattening sheets between each pair of adjacent prepreg bodies. Two continuous metal bands are passed in a serpentine manner back and forth through the stack from one side to the other, while being spaced from each other, so that each metal band contacts only one side surface of each prepreg body and the bends formed in each of the two metal bands are distributed on opposite sides of the stack. After the stack is formed with the metal bands passing through it, an electric current is passed through both metal bands from one end of each band to its opposite end to heat the two metal bands and thus the prepreg bodies and pressure is applied to the stack. After heating and pressing the stack, the two metal bands are cut through at the bends to form the plastic laminates.

Title: Telephone answering service with integrated voice and textual message storage
Inventor: MORLEY JOHN F JR
IPC: H04M3/53
Filed: 1989-09-18
Abstract: A telephone answering system for providing textual messages and voice messages generated by telephone answering of telephones of persons having telephone calls answered by the system. A system memory stores textural and voice messages. A voice message recording system controls recording of voice messages of answered telephone calls of persons having telephone calls answered by the telephone answering system. A textual message recording system controls recording of textual messages provided by an operator who answers telephone calls made to persons having their telephones answered by the telephone answering system. A programmed computer program implements the voice message recording system and the textual message recording system by execution of a program. The computer decodes a telephone number of each telephone call answered by the telephone answering system, determines a program service option to be performed in answering each telephone call based upon the decoded telephone number, causes the voice message recording system to record a voice message in the system memory if the service option is specified to be answering telephone calls by the voice message recording system, initiates ringing of an operator to cause the operator to answer the telephone call and causes the textual message recording system to record textual messages in the system memory if the service option is specified to use an operator to record textual messages. The recording systems function to permit selective playback of individual recorded messages by the placing of a telephone call to the answering system.
