Patent AU-712675-B2 (AU)
Title: Compact moisture sensor with collimator lenses and prismatic coupler
Inventor: TEDER REIN S
IPC: G01N21/17
Filed: 1997-05-20
Granted: 1999-11-11
Abstract: A compact rain sensor for mounting on the inner surface of a windshield includes collimator lenses and a detachable prismatic coupler to facilitate the mounting of emitters and detectors on a circuit board which is positioned parallel to the inner surface of the windshield. A thin optical coupler is adhesively secured to the windshield. A sensor housing is detachably secured about the outer edges of the coupler. Within the sensor housing, surface-mounted infrared emitters and detectors, as well as signal processing circuitry, are all mounted on a single printed circuit board secured in the housing. When the sensor housing is mounted on the coupler, the printed circuit board is parallel to the inner surface of the windshield and in close proximity thereto. In operation, a light beam from the emitter enters the windshield at a forty-five degree angle and is reflected back from the outer surface of the windshield to the detector, which generates a control signal based on the amount of light reflected from the outer surface. Moisture on the outer surface of the windshield reduces the amount of light reflected to the detector. Surface mounted emitters and detectors, which are very cost and space efficient, are mounted on the circuit board with an initial optical axis perpendicular to the circuit board. In order to achieve the desired forty-five degree angle of entry into the windshield, the light beam emitted from the emitter is reflected, refracted, and collimated prior to entry into the windshield by collimator lenses mounted on the circuit board and by prismatic regions formed in the coupler.

Granted: 1987-08-13
Abstract: A sleeved gown (10) is formed with an integral hoods (19) having a narrow front opening (21) in line with the eyes of a wearer (20). The material of the gown (10) is held in close contact with the wearer's face across the forehead and below the eyes but above the nose by means of tapes (22) tied around the hood (19). Exhaust duct means (11) extends over each of the wearer's shoulders beneath the gown (10) and has a plurality of exhaust inlets (14) in the region of the wearer's chest.Preferably, upward airflow is restricted to a vertical passageway formed by an outward billowing (25) of the gown material. This arrangement is most effective in drawing away air-borne emissions from the wearer's body, and causing ambient air to enter from the bottom of the gown (10) and gaps at each side of the wearer's nose. It is more comfortable than previous arrangements as there is no rigid mask or visor. Also as air extraction does not take place adjacent the wearer's face, no special communication equipment is required.

Title: Wheel/rail adhesion enhancement
Inventor: TUNLEY JOHN DAVID
IPC: B61C15/10
Filed: 2000-05-08
Granted: 2003-12-04
Abstract: If the wheel/rail adhesion for a railway vehicle is insufficient then the wheels may slip when braking. If slipping is detected, a control system may reduce the brake pressure to permit a controlled level of slip and so to optimize the braking force for the available adhesion. By determining the pressure supplied to the brake cylinder, a signal may be obtained which indicates the value of the adhesion. Alternatively the adhesion may be monitored by detecting any discrepancy between the braking deceleration demanded by the driver and the observed deceleration. The adhesion signal may activate a warning. It may also be used to adjust the rate at which sand is supplied by a sander to the wheel/rail interface. The rate at which sand is supplied may also be adjusted in accordance with other parameters such as the train speed.

Title: Collapsible container
Inventor: BRAMBACH JOHAN ARIE
IPC: B60P3/24
Filed: 1996-01-26
Granted: 1998-03-12
Abstract: A container (1) for fluids, in particular fluids containing gas, comprises an outer casing (2) of flexible, pressure resistant material, at least a gas and/or fluid tight inner casing (3) of flexible material lying inside the outer casing and being separated therefrom, and at least a filling connection (4) for filling the inner casing. As a result, the container (1) is collapsible so that filling the container may take place from the collapsed condition and filling is therefore possible without pressure difference while the fluid does not enter an empty space. The egress of gas from the fluid is substantially reduced thereby. When fluid is discharged from the container (1), the volume of the container can also decrease by collapsing so that also during use of the fluid gas is prevented from egressing. Consequently, the quality of the fluid is maintained, both during filling of the inner casing with fluid and during discharge of fluid from the inner casing. When the container (1) is completely empty, it is collapsible in a flat manner and occupies only little room, which is very favorable for transport and storage. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1992-11-12
Abstract: A tweezer for removal of ticks has two legs (10, 12), connected at one end (11) by a loop formed spring, pinched together partly within a movable cylinder (26), which through the action of a coil spring (24) is pushed against the bent portions of the legs' (10, 12) end parts in order to exert a preset squeezing force between the end parts and their sharp edged gripping points (19). By retracting the cylinder (26) the gripping points (19) are opened and when the cylinder (26) is released, the legs' (10, 12) end portions and their gripping points (19) can grasp the tick (40) and its head (38) with such a predetermined force that the tweezer will lose its grip if the tick's head (38) has not first been loosened by turning. The turning is brought about by turning the cylinder (26), which maintains the predetermined pinching force by the help of the coil spring (24).
