Brendan Edward Allman, East Brunswick Victoria AU

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080225227Apparatus and Method for Correcting for Aberrations in a Lens System - A method and apparatus for compensating for aberrations or distortions of an optical system such as an eye of a patient which is to be imaged by a camera is disclosed. Light passing through the optical system is detected by a charge coupled device (09-18-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110229015METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING THE SURFACE PROFILE OF AN OBJECT - The present invention relates to a method, apparatus, computer code and algorithm for determining the surface profile of an object. The invention involves capturing three or four images of the object at different planes of which some of the images can be taken outside the depth of field of the optical system and some inside the depth of the field of the optical system. The invention may have particular application in instances of surface analysis and security applications under ambient lighting conditions.09-22-2011

James H. Allman, Chelmsford CA

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110100496I-Beam Check Valve - A check valve for one-way flow of a fluid comprises a valve body defining at least two pairs of axially-extending sidewalls, each pair of sidewalls having a pair of resilient lips defining slit opening at the outlet end of the valve. In one embodiment of the invention, the valve body defines three pairs of sidewalls and corresponding lips which are arranged one another so as to provide the check valve with an “I-beam” cross-sectional shape. The I-beam check valve has a compact cross-section, making it suitable for mounting either inside or outside a pipe. The I-beam shape provides support along the valve axis so that the valve does not require any supplemental support structure. In another embodiment, the valve body may define two pairs of sidewalls having a “T-shaped” transverse cross section.05-05-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090305236METHODS OF ENRICHING FETAL CELLS - The present invention relates to methods of enriching fetal cells from a pregnant female. The present invention relates to removing, from a sample, cells that comprise at least one MHC molecule. The present invention also relates to methods that rely on using telomerase, mRNA encoding components thereof, as well as telomere length, as markers for fetal cells. Enriched fetal cells can be used in a variety of procedures including, detection of a trait of interest such as a disease trait, or a genetic predisposition thereto, gender typing and parentage testing.12-10-2009

20110027795CELL PROCESSING AND/OR ENRICHMENT METHODS - The present invention relates to methods of processing and/or enriching cells from a pregnant female. More particularly the invention provides methods for processing and/or enriching fetal cells from a pregnant female. The enriched fetal cells can be used in a variety of procedures including, detection of a trait of interest such as a disease trait, or a genetic predisposition thereto, gender typing and parentage testing.02-03-2011
20110203639Solar Panel - A solar energy collecting panel includes a support substrate and one or more solar energy receiving surface disposed on the support substrate. The panel is mountable to extend in a mounting plane across an underlying structure. The support substrate is configured so that when the panel is mounted to the underlying structure at least a portion of the solar energy receiving surface is at an inclined angle to the mounting plane.08-25-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110220212Brine Discharge Assembly - A brine discharge assembly includes a discharge pipe having a body that defines an interior passage, a pipe inlet, and a pipe outlet spaced from the pipe inlet. The pipe inlet and pipe outlet are able to be in fluid communication with the interior passage, and the pipe is connectable to a source of brine and configured to convey the brine from the pipe inlet to the pipe outlet. The brine discharge assembly also includes a dilution assembly able to be connected to a source of liquid diluent. The dilution assembly includes one or more injectors and one or more ports, and is coupled to the pipe so that the one or more ports are able to be in fluid communication with the interior passage of the pipe intermediate the pipe inlet and pipe outlet. The one or more injectors are configure09-15-2011
