Patent AU-4010895-A (AU)
Title: Automatic swimming pool cleaners and associated components
Inventor: CLARK WILLIAM T
IPC: E04H4/16
Filed: 1995-10-24
Abstract: Automatic swimming pool cleaning systems are disclosed. The systems include an automatic swimming pool cleaner incorporating one or more curved wipers protruding from its lower surface. The wipers and flat bottom of the cleaner induce a vortex as fluid flows to its central inlet, entraining debris in the flow. A fluted throat surrounding the inlet additionally assists the interior of the base of the cleaner in retaining debris when opened for cleaning, additionally providing an improved flow path for enhanced debris pick-up. Also disclosed is a valve useful for controlling and indicating the rate of fluid flow to a cleaner. Included within the valve is a plunger attached to a spring, with the spring force opposing fluid flow through the valve. Flow sufficient to overcome the spring force compresses the spring, however, thereby moving the plunger within the tube and providing a dynamic indication of the rate of fluid flow. A diffuser and fluid release ports permit the valve to be adjusted to achieve a desired flow rate.

Title: Continuous process for making a detergent composition
Inventor: MORT PAUL R
IPC: C11D11/00
Filed: 1999-09-03
Abstract: A continuous process for preparing granular detergent composition including a first step of dry neutralizing an acid precursor of an anionic surfactant with a particulate water-soluble alkaline material in a high speed mixer for a mean residence time of about 0.2 to about 50 seconds, thereby partly or totally neutralizing the acid precursor and producing a dry neutralized material containing the anionic surfactant, in the form of a free-flowing powder; and a second step of agglomerating the free-flowing powder into a detergent agglomerate using an agglomeration binder. The agglomeration binder is preferably a viscous sufactant paste binder. The resulting agglomerates are dry, free-flowing, and have a substantially more narrow particle size distribution, compared to the free-flowing powder, with reduced fine particles and over-sized particles that generally are recycled.

Title: Method of automatically controlling an electrostatic precipitator
Inventor: LEUSSLER WILHELM
IPC: B03C3/68
Filed: 1986-07-25
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the operation of an electrostatic precipitator so as to provide a pure gas having a predetermined dust content with a minimum consumption of energy. Characteristics for the operation with an unpulsed voltage are recorded for different dust resistivities. Each characteristic has then associated with it that k value with which a pure gas having a predetermined dust can be achieved with a minimum energy consumption. During operation, the actual characteristic is compared with the recorded characteristics and that k value is selected which is associated with the recorded characteristic which coincides with the actual characteristic or is next below the actual characteristic. The actual characteristic is determined in predetermined intervals, the duration of which is determined in dependence on the speed with which the operating conditions may be expected to change.

Title: Method of preparing tissue samples
Inventor: MALLUCHE HARTMUT H
IPC: G01N1/28
Filed: 1986-07-07
Abstract: A method is described for preparing tissue samples for use in diagnostic evaluation involving the rapid fixation, dehydration, and embedding of a tissue sample as well as rapid mounting of plastic sections to glass slides, dissolution of plastic and optimal staining of tissure components. The rapid and controllable fixation and the dehydration of the tissue sample utilizes the denaturing effects of microwaves on the proteins in combination with a heat sink. Alternatively, the dehydration of the tissue sample utilizes the principles of freeze drying. The tissue sample can be embedded using conventional paraffin embedding or plastic embedding techniques. Rapid penetration of plastic into the tissue is facilitated by microwaves, adhesion of plastic sections to glass slides is promoted by microwaves, as is the fast and optimal staining of tissue components. The method of this invention provides a very rapid technique for processing of tissue for diagnostic and analytic evaluation.
