Patent AU-2154099-A (AU)
Title: Device for imaging radiation
Inventor: SPARTIOTIS KONSTANTINOS E
IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 1998-11-16
Abstract: An imaging device for radiation imaging is an array of image cells. The array of image cells consists of an array of detector cells and an array of image cell circuits. Each detector cell is connected to the corresponding cell in the array of image cell circuits. Each individual cell in the detector cell array generates a charge based on the radiation that hits the cell. Each cell in the array of image cell circuits accumulates the charge on a storage capacitor. The storage capacitor can be, for example, the gate of a transistor. Single cells in the array of image cells can be grouped together to form larger area super cells. The size of the super cell can be controlled by control signals, which select the operating mode. The output from a cell, a single cell or a super cell, is read out in current mode and is scaled according to the size of the cell. The read out line is pre-charged prior to read out to reduce the effect of parasitic capacitance in the read out line. Several modes can be implemented in the imaging device. Also, an imaging system for larger area radiation imaging can be implemented by connecting several imaging devices together in form of a two-dimensional array.

Title: RNA interference mediating small RNA molecules
Inventor: TUSCHL THOMAS
IPC: C12N15/113
Filed: 2001-11-29
Abstract: Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces sequence-specific post-transcriptional gene silencing in many organisms by a process known as RNA interference (RNAi). Using a Drosophila in vitro system, we demonstrate that 19-23 nt short RNA fragments are the sequence-specific mediators of RNAi. The short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are generated by an RNase III-like processing reaction from long dsRNA. Chemically synthesized siRNA duplexes with overhanging 3' ends mediate efficient target RNA cleavage in the lysate, and the cleavage site is located near the center of the region spanned by the guiding siRNA. Furthermore, we provide evidence that the direction of dsRNA processing determines whether sense or antisense target RNA can be cleaved by the produced siRNP complex.

Title: Production of medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoates from fatty acid biosynthetic pathways
Inventor: AQUIN STEPHANIE
IPC: C12N15/54
Filed: 2001-11-16
Abstract: Methods for producing polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) from fatty acid biosynthetic pathways using a 3-hydroxy acyl ACP thioesterase, a PHA synthase, and an acyl CoA synthetase, have been developed. Methodology for enabling PHA production from fatty acid biosynthetic pathways in non-native bacterial PHA producers and plants using an enzyme having the catalytic activity of 3-hydroxy acyl ACP thioesterase, an acyl CoA synthetase with substrate specificity for medium chain length 3-hydroxy fatty acids, and a medium chain length PHA synthase, has been developed. Acyl CoA synthetase activity can be supplied either by the endogenous acyl CoA synthetase of the host organism, when sufficiently expressed, or the host organism's activity can be supplemented by the expression of a recombinant acyl CoA synthetase gene. New strategies are described for plant based PHA production in the chloroplasts, cytosol, and peroxisomes of biomass crops as well as the plastids, cytosol, and peroxisomes of oil seed crops.
Patent AU-3726895-A (AU)
Title: Method for preparing a sample in a scan capillary for immunofluorescent interrogation
Inventor: DUBROW ROBERT S
IPC: G01N15/14
Filed: 1995-09-22
Abstract: An assay and sample mixture for the enumeration of fluorescently stained target components of a whole blood sample by an imaging instrument. The sample preparation method ensures that the amount of target components per unit of volume of the whole blood sample is preserved by elimination of certain non-quantitative preparation steps while producing an even hematocrit layer within a scan capillary. Typical target components include white blood cells that express certain surface antigens, such as CD-4 and CD-8 proteins. To inhibit aggregation of the red blood cells, a reagent is added to an aliquot of whole blood sample. The aliquot of whole blood is mixed and with a preselected amount of a fluorescent dye and ligand complex which tags the target components. The sample and fluorescent complex are allowed to incubate a sufficient amount of time to bind enough of the fluorescent complex to the target components to provide a fluorescent signal from the target components which will be distinguishable from the fluorescent signal from the unbound fluorescent complex in the sample. The resulting mixture allows the imaging instrument to detect peak intensities of fluorescence from the target components, thereby allowing the target components to be volumetrically enumerated with an improved level of accuracy and efficiency.

Title: Method for power saving in a cellular radiotelephone apparatus
Inventor: HOLCMAN ALEJANDR RAUL
IPC: H04B7/26
Filed: 1995-09-29
Abstract: The filter of the present invention pre-processes signaling messages transmitted by the base station while the radiotelephone is in the idle mode. The radiotelephone informs the filter of the roam status and idle status and identity of the radiotelephone. The filter then intercepts the incoming signaling messages while the processor is in the sleep mode conserving power. When the filter detects a message requiring further processing by the processor, the filter interrupts the processor to process the message.
