Title: Live vaccine for human immunodeficiency virus
Inventor: BURNETT MARY SUSAN
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 1999-02-04
Abstract: The present invention discloses development of a model live vaccine for HIV, using an attenuated strain of Salmonella engineered to surface express specific HIV proteins and testing of this vaccine in mice. There are provided two recombinant plasmids, containing the Lpp-OmpA genes required for surface exposure, followed by the genes for the HIV-1 proteins, Reverse Transcriptase or Transactivating protein (Tat). These plasmids are electroporated into an attenuated strain of Salmonella, and antigen expression is verified. These live vaccines are then used to orally inoculate mice and the vaccinated mice are tested for fecal IgA response and helper T cell response specific for the HIV antigens.

Title: Precision double-sided aspheric element
Inventor: BEN-MENACHEM BARUCH
IPC: B24B41/06
Filed: 1999-04-15
Abstract: A precision optical element is described, such as is used in thermal imaging systems in the infra-red, manufactured by means of single point machining, with both of its surfaces having an aspheric form, with or without the addition of a diffractive optics pattern. The element is produced while held in a novel vacuum chuck, whose support surface has a width in the radial direction significantly less than the size of the element, and which is aspherically machined to match the aspheric first surface of the element. A method whereby such an element can be produced by means of single point machining, such as diamond turning or fly cutting, is also described. Also described are new optical system designs and applications using such double-sided aspheric elements, thereby providing significant improvement over currently available optical systems.

Title: Air cooled power machine
Inventor: LEIJONBERG GUNNAR
IPC: F01P1/02
Filed: 1997-07-10
Abstract: The present invention is for the kind of power machine, engines, pumps or compressors which have two or more pistons which work against each other preferably with a common combustion space or corresponding in a stationary cylinder, and where the power is transmitted to or from a rotating motion without an intermediate crankshaft. Independent of whether the machine works as engine, pump or compressor there is a need to cool the cylinder. For applications such as engines for lawn-mowers and power saws the engines must be air-cooled as in practice it is not possible to arrange a water-cooling system. Cooling of the cylinder is obtained by that holes or channels (30, 31) are arranged both in the rotating and the stationary discs and cooling air is made to flow through these channels. In order to further improve the cooling the outside of the cylinder may have flanges. In other embodiments of the invention the connecting means between the rotating disc and the outgoing shaft are so shaped that they also function as fan blades (34-35) and cause a desired air flow.

Patent AU-4214199-A (AU)
Title: Stereo pulse oximeter
Inventor: AL-ALI AMMAR
IPC: A61B5/024
Filed: 1999-05-27
Abstract: An improved pulse oximeter provides for simultaneous, noninvasive oxygen status and photoplethysmograph measurements at both single and multiple sites. In particular, this multiple-site, multiple-parameter pulse oximeter, or "stereo pulse oximeter" (100) simultaneously measures both arterial (SPA02) and venous (SPV02) oxygen saturation at any specific site and generates a corresponding plethysmograph waveform. A corresponding computation of arterial minus venous oxygen saturation is particularly advantageous for oxygen therapy management. An active pulse-inducing mechanism having a scattering-limited drive generates a consistent pulsatile venous signal utilized for the venous blood measurements. The stereo pulse oximeter also measures arterial oxygen saturation and plethysmograph shape parameters across multiple sites.; A corresponding calculation of delta arterial saturation and comparison of plethysmograph shape parameters between multiple sites is particularly advantageous for the detection and management of persistant pulmonary hypertension in neonates (PPHN), a patent ductus arteriosis (PDA), and aortic coarctation.
