Patent AU-700750-B2 (AU)
Title: A disposable cartridge and method for an assay of a biological sample
Inventor: SHARTLE ROBERT J
IPC: G01N35/00
Filed: 1995-08-31
Granted: 1999-01-14
Abstract: A cartridge is provided to present a biological sample for analysis by an imaging instrument. The cartridge of the invention utilizes a series of channels, capillaries, reservoirs and stop junctions to precisely move a sample, reagent and diluent through the cartridge as a function of the sum of capillary, gravitational and low centrifugal forces. The operator applies a precise amount of sample to the cartridge; therefore, the cartridge fluidics need not meter the sample prior to dilution. A practical and cost effective cartridge and assay process is disclosed which overcomes many of the limitations of the prior art. Such a cartridge is especially useful with fixed volume assays which permit low centrifugal accelerations to move the fluids within the cartridge.

Patent AU-646796-B2 (AU)
Title: Thermal inter-cooler
Inventor: NIVENS JERRY W
IPC: F25B41/42
Filed: 1990-01-23
Granted: 1994-03-10
Abstract: A non-restrictive, constant pressure refrigerant recycling and cooling unit that interrupts the normal refrigerant cycle to permit a lower temperature liquid to enter the expansion device, and thus provide a lower temperature, and therefore a lower pressure gas for delivery to the inlet side of the compressor, which acts to reduce the energy requirement and cost to operate the compressor. This reduction in pressure and temperature also results in lower operating costs and lower maintenance costs and utilizes less refrigerant quantity requirements. A key factor in attaining the above advantages is the construction of the thermal inter-cooler that is so made that no restrictions are specifically inserted in the inter-cooler system, and that direct physical contact exists between the metal compressor inlet suction line and the metal (Cu) refrigerant hot line for optimum heat transfer, and as a result an increased volumetric efficiency and increased capacity occurs by a lowering of the pressure on both sides of the compressor.
