Patent AU-1924995-A (AU)
Title: Method and apparatus of providing audio feedback over a digital channel
Inventor: GROB MATTHEW S
IPC: H04L5/02
Filed: 1995-02-17
Abstract: Providing an audible feedback feature giving the user the ability to audibly monitor the progress of a data connection over a digital wireless channel. Audible tones generated within a base station and received from a telephone network are encoded within the base station and transmitted over the digital wireless link to a mobile unit. The mobile unit decodes the signal received from the base station and provides the audible tones to a user. The user can thus monitor the success or failure of the data connection.

Inventor: BARTHOLMES PETER
IPC: C12M1/00
Filed: 1995-03-01
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP95/00752 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 29, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 29, 1996 PCT Filed Mar. 1, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/23845 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 8, 1995An accelerated micro-organism culture method is for decomposing harmful substances. For this purpose, the cultivation, mutagenic treatment and stabilization of the micro-organisms are carried out simultaneously in a mutation fermenter containing a nutrient-rich basic medium (basic medium 1); selection is carried out in a selection fermenter containing a basic medium which is low in nutrients and is enriched with the harmful substance (basic medium 2); small amounts of biomass released from the nutrient-rich basic medium (basic medium 1) of the mutation fermenter are continuously removed from the mutation fermenter and transferred to the selection fermenter. Small amounts of biomass released from the basic medium which is low in nutrients (basic medium 2) of the selection fermenter are removed from the selection fermenter and transferred to the mutation fermenter. The entire process is carried out continuously in alternating selection and mutation phases, in the manner of a repeated cycle. The mutation fermenter and the selection fermenter are associated with computerized control circuits by means of which the fermentation parameters can be adjusted independently of one another in both fermenters.

Title: Macrophage-derived inflammatory mediator (mip-1alpha and mip-1beta)
Inventor: CERAMI ANTHONY
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 1988-10-03
Abstract: An inflammatory cytokine is disclosed which has been isolated from cells that have been incubated with a stimulator material. The inflammatory cytokine comprises a protein that is capable of binding to heparin, inducing localized inflammation characterized by polymorphonuclear cell infiltration when administered subcutaneously and inducing in vitro polymorphonuclear cell chemokinesis, while lacking the ability to suppress the activity of the anabolic enzyme lipoprotein lipase, cause the cytotoxicity of cachectin/TNF-sensitive cells, stimulate the blastogenesis of endotoxin-resistant C3H/HeJ thymocytes, or induce the production of cachectin/TNF by primary thioglycollate-elicited mouse macrophage cells. A particular inflammatory cytokine MIP-1 has been isolated and has been found to comprise a peptide doublet of similar molecular weights of about 8,000 daltons, and to show a pI of about 4.6. The doublet has been resolved into its component peptides, MIP-1 alpha  and MIP-1 beta for which distinct cDNA's have been cloned and sequenced.

Title: Ozone bleaching of pulp
IPC: D21C11/00
Filed: 1992-09-16
Abstract: When closing the process of manufacturing cellulose pulp of high brightness, i.e. including the recovery of essentially all waste liquor, there is an untenable enrichment of certain basic elements, such as sodium and sulphur. The present invention provides a partial solution to this problem and is concerned with a method in bleaching with ozone lignocellulosic material (cellulose pulp) which has been at least partially manufactured chemically, in the presence of water at a degree of acidity, expressed as pH, of 2-5. The method is characterized in that the acidity is maintained during the ozone bleaching process by adding a sulphuric acid solution or an acid sodium sulphate solution produced by electrolysis (or electrodialysis) of an essentially neutral sodium sulphate solution obtained by recycling chemicals in a system to which rest solution (waste liquor) from the ozone bleaching process is added.

Title: Brew pot
Inventor: REBBE KLAUS
IPC: C12C13/10
Filed: 2000-02-19
Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a brew pot which facilitates production of a single-vessel brewing machine with two outer filter elements and an outer heating unit. To this end, a bottomless middle part (10) is linked with two hollow lids (13a, 13b) via gaskets (14, 18) and bent-lever ring closures. Since there are no filter elements located on the bottom that stop the supply of heat, the brew pot can be heated from outside via the hollow lids. At the end of a partial brewing process a filter disk is inserted into the tension springs in the upper hollow lid and is pushed down to the lower hollow lid and into the tension springs together with the material to be filtered. By turning the brew pot upside down the filled hollow lid is brought to the top. Once it has been removed and cleaned, it can be reapplied together with the stirring apparatus and measuring devices to start the second partial brewing process. Due to its design and its simple operability the brew pot is particularly useful for home hobby brewers since on the basis of said pot an inexpensive machine can be put on the market.

Title: Laminated integrally woven papermaker's fabric
Inventor: FARGEOUT PATRICK

Filed: 1997-08-22
Abstract: A laminated integrally woven on-machine-seamable papermaker's fabric includes two single-layer woven fabric plies sharing a common machine-direction (MD) yarn. The common MD yarn, which is the weft yarn on the loom during the weaving of the fabric by a modified endless weaving technique, forms seaming loops which join the plies to one another at the ends thereof. The fabric may be needled with a batt of staple fiber material. During the weaving of the press fabric, solvent-removable binder yarns join the two plies, which are accordingly integrally woven. When the weaving is completed, the solvent-removable binder yarns are removed through dissolution with an appropriate solvent, yielding the laminated structure. A batt of staple fiber material may be needled into and through the laminated structure. The papermaker's fabric may be used as a forming, press or dryer fabric, or as a base for a polymer-coated, paper industry process belt, such as a long nip press, sheet-transfer or calender belt.
