Patent NZ-510586-A (NZ)
Title: Taps and containers for dispensing fluid
Inventor: SAVAGE CHESTER
IPC: B67D3/04
Filed: 1999-10-27
Abstract: A tap for dispensing fluid from a vessel includes a main tap body, an actuator, and a seal member. The main tap body includes a passage with an inlet and an outlet and a seat with a shoulder formed around the outlet. The actuator has a handled and is pivotally attached to the main tap body and dispenses fluid from the vessel upon activation of the handle by a user. The seal member is received within the seat and attached to the actuator. The seal member includes a retaining portion received against the shoulder of the seat and a sealing portion which is releasably engageable with the seat. The seal member is resilient to provide a bias force to urge the sealing portion against the seat. The actuator is pivotal between a closed position in which the sealing portion is biased against the seat, thereby preventing fluid from passing through the outlet, and an opened position in which at least a portion of the sealing portion is pulled away from the seat against the bias force, thereby allowing fluid to flow through the outlet.

Patent NZ-512979-A (NZ)
Title: Interconnect system switch allowing for priority wormhole routing between nodes and direct messaging to a chosen node
Inventor: HESSE JOHN E
IPC: H04L45/02
Filed: 1998-01-22
Abstract: A scalable low-latency switch extends the functionality of  a  multiple  level minimum logic interconnect  structure for   usage   in  computers  of  all  types,  networks   and communication  systems.  The multiple  level  minimum  logic interconnect  structure employs a data flow technique  based on  timing  and positioning of messages moving  through  the structure.  The  scalable low-latency switch is  distributed throughout  multiple  nodes  in  the  structure  so  that  a supervisory  controller providing a global control  function and   complex  logic  structures  are  avoided   while   the interconnect  structure operates as a "deflection"  or  "hot potato"  system in which processing and storage overhead  at each  node is reduced. The interconnect structure using  the scalable  low-latency switch employs a method  of  achieving wormhole  routing through an integrated circuit  chip  by  a novel  procedure  for  inserting  messages  into  the  chip. Rather  than  simultaneously inserting a message  into  each unblocked  node  on  the  outer  cylinder  at  every  angle, messages are inserted simultaneously into two columns A  and B  only  if an entire message fits between A and B. Messages are  inserted into column 0 at time 0. Messages are inserted into column 1 at time t0+tC, where time tCis the time for  a first bit of a message to move from column 0 to column 1  on the  top level. Messages are inserted into column 2 at  time t0+2tC,  and so forth. The strategy prevents the  first  bit of  one  message  from colliding with  an  interior  bit  of another  message  already in the switch. Contention  between entire  messages  is addressed by resolving  the  contention between  the  first  bit  only  so  that  messages  wormhole through many cells.

Title: Pressure controller for artificial respirator, adjustable by moving adjustment device axially and then rotating
Inventor: MATSUBARA TERUMI
IPC: A61M16/20
Filed: 2009-12-16
Abstract: A pressure controller for an artificial respirator according to this invention includes a control valve (24) facing a gas passage between an inspiratory gas inlet (21a) and an inspiratory gas outlet (21b), and an elastic biasing means (25) for elastically biasing the control valve (24) against a valve seat (67). When an adjustment manipulating member (28) moves backward, even the turning motion of the adjustment manipulating member (28) does not operate an adjustment operating member (26, 27). When the adjustment manipulating member (28) is pulled out, the turning motion of the adjustment manipulating member (28) operates the adjustment operating member (26, 27), thereby adjusting the elastic biasing force of the elastic biasing means (25). A pressure controller is provided for an artificial respirator capable of reliably preventing unnecessary operating of the adjustment operating member (26, 27) although the turning operation of the adjustment manipulating member (28) is simple as a whole, and there is no possibility that the adjustment manipulating member (28) and the like are broken.
