Patent AU-562294-B2 (AU)
Title: Coin testing apparatus
Inventor: JOHNSON PETER REGINALD
IPC: G07D5/00
Filed: 1984-07-27
Granted: 1987-06-04
Abstract: @ A coin testing apparatus subjects a coin inserted into a coin entry (1) and rolling down an inclined track (2) to testing at a testing station (3) comprising sensors (4,5,6) which may for example be inductive sensors. If a coin is found to be acceptable an accept signal is generated and this causes gate mechanism (8) to open to permit the coin to access accept path (9), the gate mechanism (8) being normally closed so that unacceptable coins can only access a reject path (10). A post-gate detector (11) in the accept path (9) senses the passage of an accepted coin and serves to close the gate mechanism (8) and also to determine allocation of a customer credit. A pre-gate detector (12) upstream of the gate mechanism (8) has its output logically processed with the accept signal produced when an acceptable coin is tested and/or with the output of the post-gate detector (11).

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FR92/01145 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 7, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 7, 1993 PCT Filed Dec. 3, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/13382 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 8, 1993.A cartridge tube for a grenade capable of being fired by a live round of a weapon has a bullet trap to stop the bullet and a plug made of a deformable material to prevent the fragments produced when the bullet impacts on the bullet trap from escaping from the cartridge tube. The plug bears against a wall positioned between the plug and the bullet trap. The wall is attached to the cartridge tube and is substantially perpendicular to the center-line of the tube. The wall is positioned at a distance from the bullet trap along the center-line of the cartridge tube, thus establishing an empty space between the wall and the bullet trap.

Patent AU-759944-B2 (AU)
Title: Oligonucleotides containing pyrazolo(3,4-d)pyrimidines for hybridization and mismatch discrimination
Inventor: MEYER RICH B JR
IPC: C12Q1/6827
Filed: 1999-04-05
Granted: 2003-05-01
Abstract: Oligonucleotides in which one or more purine residues are substituted by pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines exhibit improved hybridization properties. Oligonucleotides containing pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine base analogues have higher melting temperatures than unsubstituted oligonucleotides of identical sequence. Thus, in assays involving hybridization of an oligonucleotide probe to a target polynucleotide sequence, higher signals are obtained. In addition, mismatch discrimination is enhanced when pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-containing oligonucleotides are used as hybridization probes, making them useful as probes and primers for hybridization, amplification and sequencing procedures, particularly those in which single- or multiple-nucleotide mismatch discrimination is required.

Title: Data communication method and system
Inventor: BLAIR CHRISTOPHER DOUGLAS
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1990-07-16
Granted: 1993-12-23
Abstract: A method of multipoint communications utilises a protocol in which data messages (10) sent by a primary source are multicast to a plurality of secondary receiving stations (S1..Sn). Each message packet contains a control field comprising a station identifier code (14) and an instruction for the specified station to acknowledge a predetermined number of messages. Each successive message packet comprises a station identifier code which differs in an alterable set cyclical sequence. Thus, acknowledgements of correct receipt of data are taken in a cycle of length L such that in a space of L messages each receiver must acknowledge at least once. In this way the primary source need only keep the L latest messages because all the stations have acknowledged correct receipt of at least up to the current message minus L. The multipoint communications method uses a protocol which can be applied to existing communications networks.
