Patent AU-557804-B2 (AU)
Title: Fibre optic frequency shifter
Inventor: PAVLATH GEORGE A
IPC: G02F1/01
Filed: 1985-03-15
Granted: 1987-01-08
Abstract: This invention relates to fiber optic frequency shifters for producing optical signals of a desired frequency range for input to a device such as an optical rotation sensing system. The rotating birefringence is created in a length of fiber optic material, which has the effect of a rotating half-wave plate upon an input optical signal. The length of fiber optic material may have a jacket of either an electrostrictive or a magnetostrictive material formed thereon such that application of an appropriate field to the jacket compresses the enclosed fiber to induce birefringence therein by means of the photoelastic effect. A half-coupler having a block of electro-optically active birefringent material adjacent the interaction region combined with an electrode configuration and circuitry for producing a rotating electric field in the block also produces a rotating half-wave plate frequency shifter. The evanescent field of light propogating in the optical fiber interacts with the rotating birefringence and experiences a frequency shift. The invention also includes feedback circuitry for processing the optical output of fiber optic rotating half- wave plates to maintain the intensity of components in the output signal having the carrier frequency below a threshold value.

Title: Device and method for removal of ticks from humans and animals
Inventor: LAXVIK LARS
IPC: A61B17/50
Filed: 1996-03-12
Granted: 1999-06-17
Abstract: The invention concerns a method and device for removing ticks from humans and animals. The device comprises: a base part (1) with at least one opening (2a, 2b), a thread loop (6) of resilient material which is arranged to be drawn into the opening (2a, 2b) under the effect of a spring member (5). The cross section of this opening relative to the thread loop (6) is such that the loop (6) outside the opening (2a, 2b), whilst being drawn thereinto, gradually decreases in size. Operatively connected to the thread loop (6) is a member (4, 4a) arranged such that, against the effect of the spring member (5), it shoots the thread loop (6) out of the opening (2a, 2b). According to the method of the invention, owing to pressure being exerted on the pushbutton (4a), the loop (6) is ejected from the opening (2a, 2b), laid around the tick and, since pressure is no longer exerted on the pushbutton (4a), can be drawn into the opening (2a, 2b). The loop (6) is then rotated one turn and the tick releases its grip within approximately three seconds.

Abstract: Defensins are microbicidal, tumoricidal cytotoxic protein components of animal host defense systems. They can be entrapped in liposomes containing release-inhibiting lipid such that the defensins are neutralized, and their release from the liposomes is inhibited; however, the defensins remain effective when exposed to endocytosed material in endocytic vesicles. Liposomal defensin formulations are administered to animals for the treatment or prevention of microbial infections, for the treatment of cancers and for the treatment of disorders characterized by a deficiency of protein-mediated cytotoxic activity in cytoplasmic granules.
