Patent AU-3657793-A (AU)
Title: Wastewater treatment process and apparatus
Inventor: MACLAREN DAVID S
IPC: C02F3/20
Filed: 1993-02-03
Abstract: A wastewater treatment plant for removal of organic matter, suspended solids and other pollutants comprising a pre-treatment chamber, a biofilm-aeration chamber and a settling chamber. Biofilm grows on biofilm support structure which is stationary and submerged in the mixed liquor of the biofilm aeration chamber. The combination of submerged or surface aeration and suspended solids particle size reduction occurs thereby creating a sufficient fluid flow within the biofilm aeration chamber. This combination of sufficient fluid flow, and reduced size suspended organic particles results in the efficient digestion of organic matter and pollutants by the biofilm growing on the biofilm support structure submerged in the biofilm aeration chamber. This results in a vastly more effective digestive process than conventional processes producing no sludge. Further, resulting treated effluent has a high dissolved oxygen content and low BOD and SS. The apparatus and process has the following advantages: low MLSS concentration, short biofilm incubation time, no clogging of the system, good response to shock loading, high DO in the effluent, consistent effluent quality, sludge is eliminated, wastewater treatment duration is shortened, the process is not temperature sensitive, plant design is greatly simplified, plants of the present invention are small by comparison to conventional plants, the present invention can be a significant step in the treatment of drinking water, energy consumption during treatment is low, the present invention is very cost effective, the process permits other purification processes to be used and the process is volumetrically and BOD insensitive.

Abstract: The invention provides a handle (38) for hand and garden tools which causes a preferred coupling position of an assigned group of hands when the respective tool is used. The handle (38) contains a first section for contacting the palm and a second section that is intended for being encompassed by the fingers. The first section contains a distal part (50) that is intended for being encompassed by the thumb bridge, a proximal part (54) that is intended for contacting the ball of the hand root and a center part (52) that lies between the two aforementioned parts and has a pronounced radially outward directed curvature that extends over at least part of its circumference and is intended for snugly adjoining the inner surface of the hand. The distance of this curvature from the longitudinal axis (39) is at its greatest in a maximum (59) that lies in a central region of the curvature and distinctly decreases from this location to the distal and the proximal part (50, 54). According to the invention, a length (L0.1) of the center part (52) amounts to 45-55% of the hand width of the assigned group of hands and has a curvature-if viewed in a longitudinal section that contains the longitudinal axis (39)-with a curvature radius (R2.1) of 50-120 mm in the maximum (59). The invention also provides handle sets, hand or garden tools and hand or garden tool sets containing handles of this type (FIG. 5).

Patent AU-4510796-A (AU)
Title: Integrated optical system for endoscopes and the like
Inventor: HOOGLAND JAN
IPC: G02B23/26
Filed: 1995-12-06
Abstract: Optical systems for endoscopes, borescopes, dental scopes, and the like which are characterized by having three groups of lenses of positive optical power and an external entrance pupil. Typically, all three groups of lenses are displaced from the pupil and focal planes. As a consequence, the displaced groups take part in the image transfer as well as in the pupil transfer. The optical power requirements can thus be shifted from one group to another, distributing as well as reducing the overall power requirement. Moreover, the aberration correction can also be shared between these groups. The first group, which conventionally has the highest optical power, and consequently a large amount of aberrations to be corrected, can in this way transfer some of the optical aberration correction to the other groups. The sharing of the optical functions and aberration correction results in a fully integrated optical system. The reduction in the total amount of optical power is so large that a line-of-sight deviating prism can be readily accommodated between the entrance pupil and the first lens group. The resulting simplicity of the optical system makes it suitable as a disposable item.

Patent AU-5144199-A (AU)
Title: Method for separation and enrichment of isotopes in gaseous phase
Inventor: GUEVREMONT ROGER
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 1999-08-05
Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for selectively transmitting ions and trapping the ions within a defined 3-dimensional space at atmospheric pressure. The invention is based on the ion focussing principles of high field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry in which an analyzer region is defined by a space between first and second spaced apart electrodes, the analyzer region having a gas inlet and a gas outlet for providing a flow of gas through the analyzer region. Ions which are introduced into the analyzer region are carried by a gas flow towards a gas outlet. At least one of the electrodes has a curved surface terminus located near the gas outlet and the gas flow is adjusted so that ions are trapped in a defined 3-dimensional space located near the tip of the terminus. Trapping of ions in a defined 3-dimensional space allows a more concentrated flow of desired ions.

IPC: D05B51/00
Filed: 1986-04-22
Abstract: A slit (7) is formed which lies in a vertical plane and extends from an upper surface of a sewing machine frame (1) to a front surface. A tension device (5), a thread take-up spring (30), and upper and lower thread guides (23, 24) are disposed along the direction in which the slit (7) extends. A thread take-up lever (12) is installed so that it is reciprocated horizontally across the space between the pair of thread guides (23, 25). The placement of the thread in the tension device (5), thread take-up spring (30), and two thread guides (23,24) can be attained by simply pulling the upper thread vertically downward through the slit (7). When the thread take-up lever is reciprocated, during its forward stroke it arrests the portion of the thread positioned between the two thread guides (23, 24) and draws it in V form. During its return stroke, the thread take-up lever (12) releases the thread to allow the latter to loosen in loop form.
