Title: Device such as a syringe for reconstituting a therapeutic solution, suspension or dispersion
Inventor: CHERIF-CHEIKH ROLAND
IPC: A61M5/24
Filed: 2000-10-10
Abstract: A syringe-type device for freshly preparing a solution, suspension or dispersion, for example injectable formulations, preferably according to a method for reconstitution in a vacuum as shown in the figure is disclosed. A method for packing the fresh preparation of the solution, suspension or dispersion in a cylindrical reservoir that can be used in a single or multi-dose syringe provided for the same is also disclosed. This is a method for packing the preparation inside the cylindrical reservoir, which is closed on one side by an injection plunger whose movement in the reservoir is limited. This method is characterised in that the elements to be packed are introduced into the reservoir from the injection plunger side before the reservoir is closed by the plunger. Said reservoir is a tube or ampoule that is closed on the other side in advance.

Title: Highly efficient method of mixing dissimilar fluids using mechanically induced cavitation
Inventor: HUDSON KELLY
IPC: B01F33/40
Filed: 2001-05-02
Abstract: Methods of mixing two or more dissimilar fluids, such as gas and a liquid, are provided. The methods include the steps of introducing one fluid into the other to form a mixture, inducing cavitation in the mixture to reduce at least one of the fluids to a large number of relatively small units, and distributing the small units uniformly throughout the mixture. In a preferred embodiment, the step of inducing cavitation includes introducing the mixture into a chamber 15 that has a rotating disk 17 formed with arrays of irregularities 24 such as bores. The irregularities on the rotating disk induce cavitation in the mixture. The cavitation also breaks down van der Waals attractions within the mixture to enhance mixing.

Title: Heat exchanger with multiple turbulent flow paths
Inventor: INNES RODNEY MITCHELL
IPC: F28F1/06
Filed: 2003-01-31
Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a body (4) on the surface of which are provided helical and spiral paths (5) which will provide multiple and turbulent flow paths A for a first fluid such as water which is caused to flow through chamber (3) relative to a spirally wound heat exchange tube (6) and in a heat transfer relationship with a second fluid flowing through the tube (6). The tube (6) has one or more further helical or spiral flow paths (9) on its external surface. The multiple flow paths A will extend the residence time for the first fluid within the heat exchanger (1) and this together with the turbulence will maximize heat transfer. Preferably a portion of the first fluid flow will be through a central aperture in body (4) where turbulence is also created by the helical or spiral paths of the tube (6) as it extends through the aperture.

Patent NZ-536480-A (NZ)
Title: No-apical meristem proteins, polynucleotides and methods of use for same
Inventor: GUO MEI
IPC: C12N15/29
Filed: 2003-05-15
Abstract: Disclosed are polynucleotides and related polypeptides of the protein ZMNAM isolated from maize endosperm. ZMNAM is a novel gene and is regulated by gene-specific imprinting. ZMNAM expression is endosperm-specific and expressed throughout the endosperm development, peaking at 25DAP. Genomic imprinting has been implicated to play a role in endosperm development. Genes regulated by allele-specific imprinting are suspected to be non-essential to seed development. Gene-specific imprinting however, regulates developmentally important genes. The ZMNAM gene, a putative transcriptional factor, may play an important role in endosperm development, which may further affect kernel size, plant vigor during germination and at the early seedling stage.
Patent NZ-541108-A (NZ)
Title: Traction control for a personal transporter by sensing acceleration of a wheel and reducing torque applied above a pre-determined acceleration
Inventor: KAMEN DEAN L
IPC: B62K11/00
Filed: 2001-10-11
Abstract: Disclosed are methods for controlling a motorized balancing transporter that has two wheels in contact with the ground in normal operation. Upon detection of a fault condition, a control variable is adjusted at a specified increment in the direction of a goal value until the control variable equals the goal value. A user is afforded accelerated access to operation of the balancing transporter by first initializing a single-axis stabilizer, and, while intializing a 3-axis stabilizer, allowing operation of the transporter, and then completing initialization of the 3-axis stabilizer. Traction is maintained between wheels of a transporter and an underlying surface by comparing acceleration of a wheel with a specified pre-set value and incrementally reducing the torque applied to the wheel based on the existence of slip condition, with the slip condition cleared on the basis of a determined value of a dynamic characteristic of the wheel such as the inverse moment of inertia. This application is directed at controlling slip of a wheel by monitoring acceleration and reducing torque in response to a slip condition flag, and clearing the slip condition flag based upon a determined value of a dynamic characteristic of the wheel.
