Patent number: 9489824Abstract: A pest detector (1) for actively detecting pest activity within the environs of a structure. The pest detector includes a pest detection unit (2) that detects pest activity through the analysis of sounds of pest activity within a pest bait. The pest bait is typically timber or cellulose material (3). Upon detection of pest activity, a signal is sent to wireless transmitting device which transmits a radio frequency signal which includes data identifying the pest detector. Advantageously, the radio frequency is in the cellular radio frequency spectrum and is transmitted via the cellular radio network to a remote base station. The signal can be in the form of a short message service message. In this way, the pest detector can be remotely monitored and any pest activity dealt with appropriately. The pest detector can be used within a pest detection system and the pest detection unit can be retrofitted to known pest monitoring systems.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: EDITH COWAN UNIVERSITYInventor: Adam Osseiran

Publication number: 20140086836Abstract: The present invention provides methods for predicting whether a subject will develop a disease capable of affecting cognitive function. More specifically, the present invention relates to the predictive detection of neurological diseases in a subject. The methods and systems provided enable a quantitative assessment and theoretical predictions of neocortical amyloid loading or amyloid beta levels based on the measurement of biomarkers in biological fluids that will provide an indication of whether a subject is likely to develop a neurological disease, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2012Publication date: March 27, 2014Applicants: MENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH INSTITUTE, Commonweath Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, NATIONAL AGEING RESEARCH INSTITUTE, EDITH COWAN UNIVERSITYInventors: Samantha C. Burnham, Noel Faux, Simon M. Laws

Patent number: 8197147Abstract: The present invention provides an optical connection component which comprises a solid state laser component for emitting a modulated beam of light in response to an applied electrical signal. The optical connection component also comprises an optical lens positioned relative to the solid state laser component at a predetermined position in which the optical lens reduces divergence of the emitted beam of light. The optical lens is formed at the predetermined position in a manner such that the optical lens is immobile relative to the solid state laser component. The optical connection component further comprises an optical waveguide having a core for guiding the light. The optical waveguide has first and second end-portions. The first end-portion is positioned for coupling the modulated light from the optical lens into the core.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2006Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignees: Edith Cowan University, Ytel Photonics Inc.Inventors: Yong Tak Lee, Kamal Alameh

Patent number: 8021903Abstract: Provided are a method of fabricating a microlens using selective etching of a compound semi-conductor and a method of fabricating a photoelectric device having the microlens. The formation of the microlens includes patterning a compound semiconductor layer and removing a lateral surface of the compound semiconductor layer to form a roughly hemispheric lens. The lateral surface of the compound semiconductor layer is removed by a digital alloy method. In particular, the lateral surface of the compound semiconductor layer is removed by a wet etching process.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2006Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignees: Ytel Photonics Inc., Edith Cowan UniversityInventors: Ki-Soo Chang, Yong-Tak Lee, Alameh Kamal
