| 20080282479 | LAUNDRY MACHINE, CONTROL AND METHOD - The present invention relates to a method for determining load size in a washing machine. A sensor detects the water level, step 51, in the machine before a recirculation pump is activated, step 50, and after it is de-activated, steps 52-54. The load size can be calculated from the difference in water level, steps 55, 56. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080303463 | MOTOR CONTROL - A washing machine and a method of operating same is disclosed. A electronically commutated motor for using in a washing machine is also disclosed. The washing machine has an agitator operated by an electronically commutated motor. An agitate cycle of the washing machine is detected. During an agitate cycle, the motor is electronically commutating with two phase firing if the agitator is rotating at rate below a first threshold, or the motor is electronically commutating using an optimised firing angle with three phase firing if the agitator is rotating at rate above a first threshold. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20120005841 | METHOD OF DETECTING AN OFF-BALANCE CONDITION OF A CLOTHES LOAD IN A WASHING MACHINE - An off-balance detection method comprises a plurality of off-balance detection schemes that utilize wash basket speed to detect an off-balance load condition at speed ranges that span the entire spin cycle and include speeds corresponding to natural frequencies of a mass comprising a wash tub and a wash basket. The schemes can be used alone or in combination with one or more of the other schemes. The off-balance detection method can further comprise a power limiting method to prevent motor overload when an off-balance condition is present. | 01-12-2012 |

| 20100310450 | METHOD OF DIAGNOSIS AND AGENTS USEFUL FOR SAME - The present invention relates generally to a method of screening for a neoplastic cell in a subject. More particularly, the present invention provides a method of screening for both viable neoplastic cells and, still further, cytotoxin induced neoplastic cell death by detecting the level of expression of La protein and/or gene by a cellular population in said subject or in a biological sample derived from said subject. The method of the present invention is useful in a range of applications including, but not limited to, diagnosing, prognosing or assessing a neoplastic condition, monitoring the progression of such a condition, assessing the effectiveness of a therapeutic agent or therapeutic regime and predicting the likelihood of a subject either progressing to a more advanced disease state or entering a remissive state. The present invention also provides diagnostic agents useful for detecting La protein and/or nucleic acid molecules. | 12-09-2010 |

| 20100135903 | USE OF A DNA DAMAGING AGENT AND A LIGAND FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER - The present invention relates generally to a method of treating a neoplastic condition and to agents useful for same. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a method of facilitating the treatment of a metastatic neoplastic tumour in a localised manner by effecting the exposure of neoplastic cell intra-cellular molecules, preferably intra-nuclear molecules, suitable for use as a therapeutic target. The co-localisation of tumour cells and metastases to discrete tissue locations thereby renders the method of the present invention useful in terms of the delivery of bystander-based therapy. | 06-03-2010 |
