Patent AU-2009500-A (AU)
Title: Method for combining signals on a digital interface
Inventor: LINDQVIST DAN
IPC: H04W92/00
Filed: 1999-11-19
Abstract: A method for combining signals being conveyed across a digital interface is disclosed. In one embodiment, a subharmonic of a frequency is superimposed on asynchronous data. The subharmonic can be used to carry a frequency reference across the digital interface. In another embodiment, a time stamp algorithm is used to carry a time reference from a master circuit to a slave circuit across a digital interface. The transmission delay between the master circuit and slave circuit is measured. The master circuit transmits time correction messages to the slave circuit, based on the time the correction message is transmitted plus the transmission delay. In another embodiment, a reset signal is carried across a digital interface by discontinuing the transfer of a frequency reference for a predetermined time. A lowpass filter can be used at the receiving side of the interface to recognize the absence of the frequency reference and initiate a reset procedure at that side.

Filed: 1999-12-13
Abstract: An integrative DNA vector and one or more viral proteins having affinity for DNA are packaged in cochleate precipitates. The integrative DNA vector contains one or more therapeutic nucleotide sequences that are preferably positioned between DNA substrates for the proteins. Upon contact with a lipid bilayer of a target cell, the cochleate vector structure delivers one or more of the therapeutic nucleotide sequences and one or more proteins to the interior of the target cell. Upon entry into the cell, the proteins facilitate the integration of the therapeutic nucleotide sequence into the genome of the host cell.

Title: Flame-treating process
Inventor: STROBEL MARK A
IPC: B29C59/08
Filed: 1997-03-28
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of modifying the surface of a polymeric substrate, e.g., to improve the wettability of the polymer film surface and/or alter the reactivity of the surface of the substrate by further oxidation or affixation of nitrogen, comprising exposing the substrate to a flame. The flame is supported by a fuel and oxidizer mixture that includes an effective amount, for modifying the polymeric substrate, of at least one compound that functions as a fuel or oxidizer substitute and is selected from an oxygen-containing compound, in which the oxygen comprises between about 10 and 50 atomic percent of the compound, a nitrogen-containing compound or an oxygen-nitrogen-containing compound. In a preferred embodiment, which affixes nitrogen or nitrogen-containing chemical groups onto the surface of the film, the flame is supported by a fuel and oxidizer mixture that includes ammonia, nitrous oxide, nitric oxide or a mixture thereof in an effective amount. Large increases in the ASTM wetting test, e.g., greater than 13 mJ/m2 over that reported with conventional flame-treating processes, have been observed in films treated according to this invention. In addition, significant increases in polymer film surface oxidation levels, e.g., as much as 55 percent, have been observed, as have significant amounts of nitrogen and nitrogen-containing chemical groups affixed to film surfaces.\!

Title: Protection device for signal and power carrying line
IPC: H04N7/10
Filed: 1992-09-22
Abstract: A module for insertion into a combined signal and power carrying line, especially into a CATV line, for protecting a system associated with the line from an overcurrent comprises: (i) a housing (50) having connection ports (51, 52) for cables (53, 54) forming the line and being impedance matched to the line, one of the conductors of the cables being connected together via a capacitor (23); and (ii) a solid-state overcurrent protection circuit that is connected across the capacitor via inductors (24, 25) to isolate it from the signal on the line, the protection circuit being capable of switching from a conducting to a blocking state in response to an overcurrent and being capable of resetting itself or attempting to reset itself into its conducting state one or more times after it has switched into its blocking state. If line containing  a number of such modules is subjected to an overcurrent, the protection device in the nearest module upstream will switch so that only that part of the line downstream of the module will be affected. In addition, tracing the location of the fault is much simpler because the section of the line in which the fault occurred is known from the protection circuit that has tripped.

Title: Opto-electronic switch which evaluates changes in motion
Inventor: REIME GERD
IPC: H03K17/96
Filed: 2001-01-16
Abstract: The inventive opto-electronic switch comprises a light-emitting element (1) and a receiving element (2) which outputs a first signal (U(t)) whose value changes according to the amount of light received. The emitting element (1) and the receiving element (2) are arranged in such a manner that the light emitted by the emitting element (1) is diffused or reflected by objects, which are located within a determined area, such that at least one portion of this diffused or reflected light reaches the receiving element (2). The first signal (U(t)) is fed to an evaluation unit in which a switching element (18) changes its switching state if the change of the amount of reflected or dispersed light received by the receiving element, which is caused by motion of the object, is located within the limits of a predetermined motion pattern that corresponds to a tapping of a defined area. The evaluation unit determines time-variable changes in motion and identifies a change in motion of the object as tapping.

Title: Multi face multi videodisk reader
Inventor: FAY STEFAN DE
IPC: G11B25/04
Filed: 1985-03-29
Abstract: The reader is of the type comprising at least one video disk with two faces and at least one reading (and recording) head arm which is movably mounted to scan the different possible faces, knowing that the essential interest of this type of readers is that it has a plurality of video disks. It is characterized in that it comprises at least two independent scanners (23-24, 25-25, and 27-28) which are so mounted that they may read both faces of each video disk A, B and C, either simultaneously or separately. A plurality of embodiments enables to adapt the invention to different practical necessities. In particular, it is possible to provide modular installations, by means of which a user may adapt the capacity of its installations to increasing needs. The possibility of reading (or recording) two faces of a same disk provides important advantages since it is then possible to have access within an extremely short time and "continuously" to a considerable number of data or information, and this has practical consequences particularly for exploiting banks of images or for the making of films.
