Patent AU-2563588-A (AU)
Title: Improvements in microwave heating
Inventor: KEEFER RICHARD MACKAY
IPC: A47J27/00
Filed: 1988-11-17
Abstract: A susceptor for use in the heating of a foodstuff or other material in a microwave oven is constructed to have at least two regions (12,14) which are each adapted to couple with and absorb microwave energy for the generation of heat in such regions, which heat is then radiatively and conductively transferred to the material. The invention is characterised by one such region (12) having a different lossiness from the other (14), the regions being contiguous with each other. They preferably have a stepwise discontinuity of lossiness between them, which causes higher order mode or modes of microwave energy to be generated or accentuated. The susceptor may be a separate panel or may be a wall component, e.g. the bottom, of a container or utensil, or a removable cover therfor.

Abstract: Disclosed are injectable suspensions of gas filled microbubbles in an aqueous carrier liquid usable as contrast agents in ultrasonic echography. The suspensions comprise amphipathic compounds of which at least one may be a laminarized phospholipid as a stabiliser of the microbubbles against collapse with time and pressure. The concentration of phospholipids in the carrier liquid is below 0.01% wt but is at least equal to or above that at which phospholipid molecules are present solely at the gas microbubble-liquid interface. Also disclosed is a method of preparation of the stable suspensions of air or gas filled microbubbles.

IPC: B65D39/10
Filed: 1997-04-02
Abstract: The invention concerns a lid for sealing a sheet metal drinks can, a sealing element (102) being associated with this lid. Within its surface, the lid comprises a breakable region which is delimited by a notched line (103) and is surrounded by a cylindrical central wall (106) of a central enclosure (W). The sealing element comprises a corresponding cylindrical part (112) which engages in the central wall. Engagement and counter-engagement elements (115, 109), which co-operate in the manner of a bayonnet closure, are provided at the base of the cylindrical walls. Pressure elements and pressure surfaces (117, 116), which are designed and arranged such that when the sealing element is rotated relative to the lid, the notched line is made to break open (104) and the pouring aperture is released, are further provided at the base of the sealing element and at the base of the lid surface (111), these pressure elements and pressure surfaces co-operating with one another in the axial direction. An edge flange (139) of the sealing element is urged sealingly with appropriate pre-stress onto an annular surface (107) at the upper end of the central enclosure (W) of the lid by rotation.

Patent AU-2853395-A (AU)
Title: Recombinant vectors derived from adenovirus for use in gene therapy
Inventor: BOUT ABRAHAM
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1995-08-15
Abstract: The invention provides novel vectors derived from adenovirus which are specifically suitable for use in methods of gene therapy. <??>The vectors have a deletion compared to wild-type adenovirus in that the E1 region is not present in a functional manner. <??>Additionally the vectors are characterized in that they do contain a part of the E3 region of adenovirus which is biologically functional. This results in vectors which do normally not lead to expression of adenoviral proteins, but which in the cases where such proteins do become expressed will repress the host's immunological response to said proteins. Thereby host cells infected (provided) with the vector will live longer. Therefor the product introduced into said cells providing the therapy will be produced in larger amounts, or at least for a prolonged period. Preferably the vector comprises genetic information for antisense therapy, or for genes which will combat tumors, such as genes encoding cytokines, preferably IL-1, or so called suicide genes, such as Herpes Simplex Virus thymidine kinase. <??>Methods for producing said vectors and methods of gene therapy or uses therein are also disclosed.
Patent AU-2876484-A (AU)
Title: Hybrid hitch control system combining electrically-sensed inputs with non-electrically sensed position and draft- force inputs
Inventor: WEIGARDT GORDON K
IPC: A01B63/111
Filed: 1984-05-28
Abstract: A hydraulic rockshaft actuator (24) operates a rockshaft (12) to raise and lower a hitch in accordance with mixed position control set by a lever (28) and draft control set by a lever (32). The set points established by these levers are combined mechanically with actual rockshaft position sensed mechanically by a ramp (14) on the rockshaft and actual draft load sensed hydraulically by a load sensor (34) and communicated to the mechanical combining arrangement (16) via a load control valve (17). In order to provide this known system with engine speed control (to avoid labouring the engine) and/or wheel slip control (to avoid excessive wheel slip), an electronic control unit (46) processes signals from corresponding transducers (54, 58, 60) and derives an electrical control signal. A pressure control valve (40) in the hydraulic line between the draft load sensor (34) and the load control valve (17) enhances the hydraulic load signal so that reduced engine speed and/or increased wheel slip emulates increased draft load and therefore leads to the hitch being raised. To this end the control valve (40) has electrical pilot control (44) responsive to the electrical control signal in parallel with hydraulic pilot control (42) responsive to the pressure from the draft load sensor (34). The draft control lever (32) sets the proportions of the mixed control and, within the control unit (46) the electrical control signal is gain-scaled in dependence upon a signal (A(6)) from a transducer (52) on the lever (32) so that the effect of the electrical control signal is the greater the greater the proportion of draft load control in the mixed control.

Title: Enhancement of antibody-cytokine fusion protein mediated immune responses by co-administration with angiogenesis inhibitor
Inventor: GILLIES STEPHEN D
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1999-04-15
Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for enhancing a cytocidal immune response directed against a preselected cell-type in a mammal. The methods and compositions rely on a combination of an antibody-cytokine immunoconjugate and an angiogenesis inhibitor. Once administered to the mammal, the immunoconjugate induces an immune response against the preselected cell-type, for example, a cancer cell which, as a result of the synergy with the angiogenesis inhibitor, is greater than the immune response induced by the immunoconjugate alone. The methods and compositions are particularly useful at killing solid tumors or virally-infected cells in a mammal.

Title: Receiver for local calls
Inventor: LUIGI BRUNO DE
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 1993-05-26
Abstract: This receiver, commonly called "pager", is intended to receive radio broadcast message signals, comprising call signalling information and the message information. It comprises a receiver (3) intended for receiving and demodulating the coded message signals, a memory (5) for holding the said message information, a decoder (4) of the coded message signals for selectively supplying the message information to the memory (5) and means of function control (8) capable of supplying control signals to the memory and of receiving therefrom the message information which is held there. The memory (5) comprises internal processing means for controlling the reception of the message information originating from the said decoder (4). Hence, selected message information supplied by the decoder (4) can be held in the memory without it being necessary to make use of the command from a microcomputer or from a microprocessor external to this memory, which thus becomes, to some extent, "intelligent". Application especially to pagers built into a wristwatch.
