Patent AU-3761497-A (AU)
Title: Delivery and aquisition of data segments with optimized inter-arrival time
Inventor: GUO ZICHENG
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 1997-09-16
Abstract: Data pages (305,310,315,320,325,330,335) of an interactive program guide (IPG) for television are transmitted according to a shuffle function which allows different television receivers to retrieve particular segments of the data pages based on the day and time of program listings which a viewer wishes to see. A page of data, which corresponds to a full-screen image, is divided into segments and retrieved by the receivers over time. The segments are shuffled to provide an optimal separation in the data stream. The optimal separation corresponds to the receiver's input buffer size and processing speed. The pages may be arranged sequentially, or with the even-numbered pages separated from the odd-numbered pages. The pages are partitioned into a number of subsets, and, within the pages of each subset, the segments are shuffled according to a perfect shuffle function such that respective adjacent segment pairs are arranged in an order which maximizes a minimum of their inter-segment distance after shuffling. The minimum inter-segment distance of all the subsets is used to determine a characteristic inter-segment arrival time, which must be large enough to correspond to the receiver's processing capability. The required input buffer size and processing speed of the receivers is reduced, yet data page acquisition speed is increased for all viewers.

Title: An optical communication system
Inventor: ALI AMAR
IPC: H04J99/00
Filed: 1986-02-17
Abstract: The invention relates to an optical communication system for transmitting subscriber-assigned information in both directions between a center (1) and a plurality of subscribers (3ato 3n), particularly to the subscriber loop of a broadband communication system. In a remote distribution facility which is of either distributed (FIG. 1) or lumped (FIG. 2) design, the optical waveguides (5ato 5n) of a group of subscribers living or working near each other are coupled to a common optical waveguide (4) (or to two common optical waveguides) connected to the center (1). Subscriber-assigned signals to be transmitted from the center to the subscribers are combined into an electric time-division-multiplex signal which is transmitted as an optical signal with a single wavelength ( lambda o) to the vicinity of the subscribers and distributed to the latter. From the electric time-division-multiplex signal, each of the subscribers takes only the signal intended for him. The signals to be transmitted from the subscribers to the center are transmitted as optical signals with subscriber-assigned wavelengths ( lambda l to  lambda n ) through subscriber-as-signed optical waveguides to the common optical waveguide (4), are coupled into the latter, and are transmitted as a wavelength-division-multiplex signal to the center.

Patent AU-6497396-A (AU)
Title: Chemical signal-impermeable mask
Inventor: KURNIK RONALD T
IPC: A61B5/1486
Filed: 1996-07-16
Abstract: A chemical signal-impermeable mask is positioned in the electrolyte flow such that the mask is between a source of chemical signal and a working electrode which senses the chemical signal transported from the source (e.g., by diffusion). The configuration of the mask is such that the mask prevents substantially all chemical signal transport from the chemical signal source having a radial vector component relative to a plane of the mask and the catalytic face of the working electrode, thus allowing primarily only chemical signal transport that is substantially perpendicular to the place of the mask and the catalytic surface of the working electrode. By reducing or eliminating chemical signal radial transport toward the working electrode, the mask thus significantly reduces or eliminates edge effects. By substantially reducing edge effects created by radial transport of chemical signal, it is possible to obtain a more accurate measurement of the amount (e.g., concentration) of chemical signal that is transported from a given area of source material.

The present invention is further directed to novel packaging cell lines that are transformed at a minimum with the adenoviral E1 and E4 gene regions and function to propagate the above novel replication-deficient adenoviral vectors.
Patent AU-6587998-A (AU)
Title: Ligand/lytic peptide compositions and methods of use
Inventor: ENRIGHT FREDERICK M
IPC: A61K38/24
Filed: 1998-03-26
Abstract: Amphipathic lytic peptides are ideally suited to use in a ligand/cytotoxin combination to specifically inhibit cells that are driven by or are dependent upon a specific ligand interaction; for example, to induce sterility or long-term contraception, or to attack tumor cells, or to selectively lyse virally-infected cells, or to attack lymphocytes responsible for autoimmune diseases. The peptides act directly on cell membranes, and need not be internalized. Administering a combination of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) (or a GnRH agonist) and a membrane-active lytic peptide produces long-term contraception or sterilization in animals in vivo. Administering in vivo a combination of a ligand and a membrane-active lytic peptide kills cells with a receptor for the ligand. The compounds are relatively small, and are not antigenic. Lysis of gonadotropes has been observed to be very rapid (on the order of ten minutes). Lysis of tumor cells is rapid. The two components -the ligand and the lytic peptide- may optionally be administered as a fusion peptide, or they may be administered separately, with the ligand administered slightly before the lytic peptide, to activate cells with receptors for the ligand, and thereby make those cells susceptible to lysis by the lytic peptide. The compounds may be used in gene therapy to treat malignant or non-malignant tumors, and other diseases caused by clones or populations of "normal" host cells bearing specific receptors (such as lymphocytes), because genes encoding a lytic peptide or encoding a lytic peptide/peptide hormone fusion may readily be inserted into hematopoietic stem cells or myeloid precursor cells.
