Patent AU-4850200-A (AU)
Title: Expandable medical device delivery system and method
Inventor: SHANLEY JOHN F
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2000-05-12
Abstract: A delivery system and method are provided for accurately locating, orienting, and implanting expandable tissue supporting devices at a lumen junction or bifurcation in a body lumen. For example, the system may be used to deliver a tissue supporting device to a bifurcated artery such that, on expansion, the tissue supporting device provides side ports of a specific size and geometry to accommodate bifurcations in the artery. The delivery system is capable of accurately orienting these side ports both radially and longitudinally with respect to branch lumen openings of the artery. The delivery system achieves orientation by utilizing a guide member which is positioned to extend from the side port feature of the tissue supporting device. The guide member is tracked along a guidewire which extends into the branch lumen, ultimately orienting the side port of the tissue supporting device properly at the branch lumen opening. After expansion of the tissue supporting device, the guide member drops out of the enlarged side port and is withdrawn.

Title: Puffing tobacco
Inventor: ROTHCHILD RONALD D
IPC: A24B3/18
Filed: 1980-02-08
Abstract: Tobacco containing solid carbon dioxide is fed into an expansion chamber (14) in which it is expanded by hot gas; the solid carbon dioxide thereby being sublimed and moisture and organic material in the tobacco being volatalised. The gas and expanded tobacco enter a separator (15) from which the tobacco is discharged through a rotary valve (17). Gas is withdrawn from the separator (15), a portion of it vented, and the remainder heated by heater (27) and then returned to the expansion chamber (14). In order substantially to preclude air flowing through the rotary valve (17) into the separator (15) the pressures below and above the rotary valve are equalised. Alternatively, some of the gas withdrawn from the chamber (15) my be used to isolate the valve (17) from the atmosphere. By precluding air flow into the separator (15) the tobacco may be expanded without using steam (other than that evolved from the tobacco) or excessive temperatures.

Title: Rapid battery charging method and apparatus
Inventor: PETROVIC VLADIMIR
IPC: H01M10/44
Filed: 2000-07-18
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for battery charging provide a charging cycle in which charging periods alternate with discharging periods. During the charging periods a lead acid battery is charged at a rate of about 0.55xC amperes to about 0.65xC amperes, where C is the battery capacity in ampere hours. The charging periods have durations of about 60 to 180 seconds. During the discharging periods the battery is discharged at a rate in the range of about 0.05xC to about 0.07xC. The discharge periods have durations of about 10 to 20 seconds. By introducing discharging periods while charging the battery, the battery's internal resistance is deceased and less heat is generated during charging. The charging time is about 1-2.5 hours for lead-acid batteries.

Abstract: This invention concerns interactions among APRIL/G70, AGP-3/BLYS, BCMA, and TACI and related methods of use and compositions of matter. It has been found that (1) sAPRIL/G70 binds to the cell-surface receptors BCMA and TACI on T and B lymphoma cells, resulting in stimulation of proliferation of primary human and mouse B and T cells both in vitro and in vivo; (2) APRIL competes with AGP3's binding to TACI and BCMA; (3) sBCMA inhibits APRIL and AGP3 binding to its receptors; (4) sBCMA ameliorates T cell dependent and T cell independent humoral immune responses in vivo; (5) sTACI inhibits APRIL and AGP3 binding to its receptors and ameliorates T cell dependent and T cell independent humoral immune responses in vivo; and (6) BCMA exhibits similarity with TACI within a single cysteine rich domain located N-terminal to a potential transmembrane domain. These discoveries provides a strategy for development of therapeutics for treatment of autoimmune diseases, and cancer, for prevention of transplant rejection. Disease states and disease parameters associated with APRIL and AGP-3 may be affected by modulation of BCMA or TACI; disease states and parameters associated with TACI can be affected by modulation of APRIL; disease states and parameters can be affected by modulation of any of TACI, BCMA, APRIL and AGP-3 by a single therapeutic agent or two or more therapeutic agents together.

Title: Method and apparatus for linearizing an amplifier
Inventor: DANIELSONS DAVID
IPC: H03F1/32
Filed: 2000-06-30
Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided for linearizing a first amplifier having a non-linear signal response characteristic to an applied input signal wherein the amplifier is located between a signal source and a load. This is accomplished by selecting a second amplifier that exhibits a non-linear signal response characteristic to an applied input signal similar to that of the first amplifier. A portion of the input signal obtained from the signal source is then applied to the second amplifier to generate an output signal. A determination is made as to whether there is any difference between the input signal and the output signal and a difference signal is provided in accordance therewith. The difference signal is phase inverted to obtain an inverted difference signal. This inverted difference signal is combined with the input signal to provide a corrected input signal. The corrected input signal is applied to the first amplifier to obtain a corrected output signal therefrom.
