Patent AU-5225199-A (AU)
Title: Interspersed heating/cooling to shrink tissues for incontinence
Inventor: INGLE FRANK W
IPC: A61B18/00
Filed: 1999-07-22
Abstract: The invention provides improved devices, methods, and systems for repeatably and reliably contracting fascia and other support tissues, particularly for the treatment of urinary incontinence. A probe surface includes at least one heating element with a heating area and at least one cooling element with a cooling area. The heating and cooling areas are interspersed along the probe surface so as to produce alternating heated and cooled regions across a tissue engaged by the probe. Sufficient controlled energy is transmitted from the surface into the engaged tissue to contract the tissue and inhibit incontinence (or otherwise provide the desired therapeutic results). The interspersed cooling element helps decrease trauma to the tissue for a given amount of shrinkage.

Title: Method and apparatus for directly sampling a fluid for microfiltration
Inventor: COVILLE WILLIAM E
IPC: B01L99/00
Filed: 2000-05-30
Abstract: Filtration cells capable of direct sampling of a fluid from a container and which may be used for microfiltration of both small and large microvolumes of a fluid to be filtered are provided. Also a process for directly transferring a fluid to be filtered from a container to a filtration cell is described. The filtration cells have one or more reservoirs and are in communication with fluid in a container to be filtered through a piercing instrument connected to a base and support for a reservoir that receives the fluid to be filtered after it passed across a filter membrane. The filtration cell may then be pressurized and vented to allow fluid to be filtered to reciprocally and tangentially pass across a filter membrane between either a container having a fluid to be filtered and a single reservoir for small volume filtrations or between two reservoirs after pressurizing a fluid to be filtered into the reservoirs from a container using a piercing instrument. Side wells for collecting samples from the bottom up from the filtration cell outlet are also provided as are a process incorporating automated equipment for transferring the container having fluid to be filtered to the piercing point for entry into the filtration cell.
Patent AU-5302696-A (AU)
Title: Blood collection and separation system
Inventor: KINGSLEY GORDON F
IPC: B04B5/04
Filed: 1996-03-05
Abstract: A system for collecting and processing blood from a donor (70), wherein the system may be compact enough to be located entirely beside the donor's chair, and be able to process the blood while the donor is still resting in the chair after having donated the blood. Thus, the separated blood components (plasma and red blood cells) may be stored in their individual optimum environments immediately after the whole blood is drawn, and the blood does not need to be transported back to a separation laboratory for processing. The system includes a needle (72) (or other cannula-like device) for insertion into a vein of the donor and drawing whole blood therethrough, a variable-volume rotor (2a) for holding the blood after it is drawn, and a motor (50) for spinning the rotor so as to cause the blood to separate into components, for example, plasma and red blood cells. The system also provides for a container for collecting a separated component. In a preferred embodiment two containers are used: the first container (92) for containing an anticoagulant, which is preferably added to the whole blood as it is drawn from the donor, and then for storing the plasma after it has been separated from the red blood cells, and the second container (91) for storing the separated red blood cells. The system further includes tubing (73), which may have valving (81) built into it and which may be acted on externally, so as to direct the blood components in the desired manner.
