Patent AU-660722-B2 (AU)
Title: Heat exchanger for a water heater
Inventor: AFSHAR MOHAMMAD REZA
IPC: F24H9/12
Filed: 1992-09-10
Granted: 1995-07-06
Abstract: A swimming pool or spa heater unit having a heat exchanger manifold designed to permit the use of direct plastic piping connections to the manifold header. The manifold is principally characterized by a header end having an inlet port and outlet port located on a level below the manifold inlets and outlets communicating with the heat exchanger. The inverted arrangement of the header ports relative to the manifold inlets and outlets to the heat exchanger permits unreturned water in the unit heated by residual heat from the heater to form a temperature gradient therebetween which prevents the temperature of the water at the header connection from reaching a level incompatible with the use of direct plastic piping connections. The manifold is also integrally provided with weirs which serve to provide dry-fire protection for the heater.

Title: Method for determination of ammonia
Inventor: MURACHI TAKASHI
IPC: C12Q1/58
Filed: 1984-08-02
Granted: 1987-09-03
Abstract: The quantity of ammonia in a sample to be measured for ammonia content can be determined by: (A) contacting the sample with L-glutamate dehydrogenase in the presence of reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide or reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate and  alpha -ketoglutarate to produce glutamate in a quantity corresponding to the ammonia content in the sample; (B) catalyzing the resultant mixture by L-glutamate oxidase in the presence of oxygen to produce hydrogen peroxide in a quantity corresponding to the glutamate content in the resultant mixture; (C) measuring the quantity of hydrogen peroxide produced or the production rate thereof; and (D) calculating the ammonia content from the quantity of hydrogen peroxide produced or the production rate thereof thus measured. In accordance with the method of the present invention described above, it has become possible to determine the quantity of ammonia with high sensitivity in a short period of time by using as a signal a measurable value associated with hydrogen peroxide via a continuous autoanalyzing system.

Title: Multi-axial bone screw assembly
Inventor: SHERMAN MICHAEL C
IPC: A61B17/58
Filed: 1997-09-24
Granted: 2000-11-30
Abstract: A multi-axial bone screw assembly includes a bone screw having a partially spherical head. The bone screw head is truncated at an upper surface in which a tool receiving recess is defined. The assembly includes a receiver member including a central bore that defines a tapered recess to receive a contracting collet carrying the head of the bone screw. The bore of the receiver member also defines a channel communicating with the recess and configured to receive a spinal rod therein. A portion of the channel is threaded to receive a set screw above the rod. The assembly also includes a contracting collet disposed between the rod and the head of the bone screw. The collet defines a partially spherical recess to receive the head of the bone screw, and includes deflectable fingers that substantially surround the screw head. As the set screw is tightened into the receiver member, the set screw compresses the rod against the collet, which presses the collet into the tapered recess of the receiver member, thereby deflecting the fingers of the collet against the bone screw head.

Granted: 1992-03-05
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for establishing point-to-point full duplex communication between two stations served by a local area network (LAN) or connected by a communication link. One station initially transmits a request message through the link. The request message indicates that a first station is available for full duplex communication and also serves as a test to determine whether any non-full duplex devices are present along the point-to-point link between the first station and a second station. A second station receives the request message and responds by transmitting a reply message which indicates its availability for full duplex communication. Subsequently, full duplex communication may commence. The two stations periodically exchange additional messages to continuously verify that full duplex communication is operating properly.

Title: Difference detection methods using matched multiple dyes
Inventor: MINDEN JONATHAN
IPC: C07K1/13
Filed: 2000-08-09
Granted: 2004-11-11
Abstract: A process and a kit are provided for detecting differences in two or more samples of protein, including proteins bearing post-translational modifications and peptides. Proteins are prepared, for example, from each of a different group of cell samples or body fluid samples to be compared. Each protein extract is labeled with a different one of a luminescent dye from a matched set of dyes. The matched dyes have generally the same ionic and pH characteristics but emit light at different wavelengths to exhibit a different color upon luminescence detection. The labeled protein extracts are mixed together and separated together by electrophoresis or a chromatographic method. The separation is observed to detect proteins unique to one sample or present in a greater ratio in one sample than in the other. Those unique or excess proteins will fluoresce the color of one of the dyes used. Proteins common to each sample migrate together and fluoresce the same.
