Title: Tube squaring tool
Inventor: MARSHALL MARK A
IPC: B23B5/16
Filed: 1998-10-26
Abstract: A tube squaring tool includes a housing having forward and rearward end areas and a tubular workpiece clamping device located at the forward end area for securing and retaining a tubular workpiece relative to the housing so that the end of the workpiece can be machined by a rotary cutting head carried by the housing and movable towards and away from the end of the workpiece by manipulation of a feed mechanism. The tubular workpiece clamping device includes a pair of saddle members carried within a saddle mounting ring with one of the saddle members being frictionally secured within the mounting ring using a detent mechanism and the other saddle member being movable relative to the mounting ring and the opposing saddle member by a threaded connector that enables clamping of a tubular workpiece between the saddle members when the moveable saddle member is moved in a clamping direction towards the opposed fixed saddle member. Interchangeability of the saddle members to accommodate different size workpieces is facilitated by the friction coupling between one of the saddle members and the mounting ring and the saddle members are configured so that they may be readily removed and replaced through a radial retaining projection located on the forward end of the mounting ring.

Patent AU-1455883-A (AU)
Title: Data transmission
Inventor: ODAKA KENTARO
IPC: G11B5/09
Filed: 1983-05-16
Abstract: In the recording/reproducing of digital audio signals, errors are detected and corrected by using two parity words, one arranged at the center of the block formed of data words and the arranged at one end of the block. The probability that uncorrectable error will be present in the center of the block is relatively high, so placing the parity word there prevents loss of the more valuable data. Maximum correctable burst errors are determined by the length of the block, so placing the other parity word on the end of the block lengthens it and improves burst error correction. The parity words are arranged as indicated before adding a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code to the data signal and then modulation coding the signal before recording. During playback, the reproduced signal is demodulated and the CRC code used to detect errors for which error pointers are generated. The reproduced data is read into memories (3,4) in accordance with generated addresses and the pointers prevent the writing in of words found to be in error, which error words are subsequently corrected if possible using parity codes originally encoded into the signals prior to recording.

Patent AU-1855797-A (AU)
Title: Application programming interface for data transfer and bus management over a bus structure
Inventor: SMYERS SCOTT D
IPC: G06F13/10
Filed: 1997-01-29
Abstract: An application programming interface implements and manages isochronous and asynchronous data transfer operations between an application and a bus structure. During an asynchronous transfer the API includes the ability to transfer any amount of data between one or more local data buffers within the application and a range of addresses over the bus structure using one or more asynchronous transactions. An automatic transaction generator may be used to automatically generate the transactions necessary to complete the data transfer. The API also includes the ability to transfer data between the application and another node on the bus structure isochronously over a dedicated channel. During an isochronous data transfer, a buffer management scheme is used to manage a linked list of data buffer descriptors. This linked descriptor list can form a circular list of buffers and include a forward pointer to the next buffer in the list and a backward pointer to the previous buffer in the list for each buffer. The linked descriptor list may all form a linear list to which the application can append additional buffers or remove existing buffers from the list. During isochronous transfers of data, the API provides implementation of a resynchronisation event in the stream of data allowing for resynchronisation by the application to a specific point within the data. Implementation is also provided for a callback routine for each buffer in the list which calls the application at a predetermined point during the transfer of data.

Title: Apparatus and method for welding pipes together
Inventor: BELLONI ANTONIO
IPC: B23K9/127
Filed: 1999-12-21
Abstract: Two pipes are arranged, when forming a deep sea pipeline, end to end thereby defining a circumferentially extending narrow angled (less than 10 degrees) groove. Two arc welding torches are arranged directly adjacent to each other on a single carriage that moves around the pipes, thereby forming a twin arc welding system. The position of the arc of each torch is independently oscillated between the walls of the groove to form a weld therein. The arcs are guided automatically by an electronic guidance system, wherein electrical characteristics (such as arc current voltage and/or impedance) of the welding of each torch with regard to one of the two pipes are compared with the corresponding electrical characteristics relating to the other of the pipes. The position of an arc of a torch may thus be aligned with the center line of the groove.
Patent AU-2406092-A (AU)
Title: Sanitary can carriers
IPC: B65D71/50
Filed: 1992-08-07
Abstract: Can carriers are provided with upwardly protruding can-receiving members having oppositely paired can-receiving recesses and can-stacking platforms. The can-receiving recesses each are defined by an annular locking ring is joined to a protective inverted cup-shaped cover wall sized and configured to closely correspond to the top bead of a conventional can. The locking ring thus seats below the top bead of the can thereby removably locking the can to the can carrier. A camming surface downwardly and radially outwardly extends from the locking ring and assists during the forcible insertion of a can into the can-receiving recess by urging the locking ring to bend and/or flex radially outwardly a sufficient amount to allow for the diametrically larger top bead to pass thereby. Once the top bead is seated in the can-receiving recess, the locking ring will again resiliently return to its normal state. Paired finger openings are preferably provided in association with a raised pad region. Structurally reinforcing rib elements may also be provided with the pad regions.

Title: Simplified method for removing free protein during preparation of protein-polysaccharide conjugates and vaccines using restricted-access media
Inventor: LEES ANDREW
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1999-02-04
Abstract: Removing free protein from a liquid mixture containing the protein and a protein-polysaccharide conjugate can be a technologically difficult, expensive, and time consuming process. The procedure described herein for removing the protein from such a mixture simplifies this removal. The procedure includes contacting the liquid mixture, including the protein and the protein-polysaccharide conjugate, with a solid phase, restricted-access media material. This material at least partially binds with the protein and separates it from the liquid mixture, thereby providing a purified liquid containing at least a portion of the protein-polysaccharide conjugate and a reduced amount of the protein. The purified liquid can be collected for further processing or use. As one example, the restricted-access media material can include porous silica particles that generally allow the protein to enter, but restrict or limit access to the protein-polysaccharide conjugate. In this manner, at least some of the free protein adheres, attaches, or otherwise binds to the restricted-access media material and separates from the conjugate. The process of the invention can be used for preparing protein-polysaccharide conjugates that can be used in vaccines or other pharmaceutical compositions.
