Patent AU-4378385-A (AU)
Title: Optimizing process and device in a process for reducing the size of the flowering of a galvanized steel strip
Inventor: FRANCOIS BERNARD
IPC: C23C2/26
Filed: 1985-06-18
Abstract: The process for optimizing the solidification of zinc on a steel strip (2) under the action of germs of crystallization constituted by zinc in the form of a fine powder, which are projected by a conveying fluid inside a case (1) onto the two sides of the strip (2), is characterized in that the temperature of the strip at the exit of the case (1) is measured and this temperature is maintained at an optimal value by regulating the flow of air blown into the case as a function of the difference between the measurement obtained and the optimal temperature.
Patent AU-4384789-A (AU)
Title: A method of forming metal matrix composite bodies by a spontaneous infiltration process, and products produced therefrom
Inventor: AGHAJANIAN MICHAEL KEVORK
IPC: B22F3/26
Filed: 1989-10-27
Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel process for forming metal matrix composite bodies. Particularly, an infiltration enhancer and/or an infiltration enhancer precursor and/or an infiltrating atmosphere are in communication with a filler material (2) or a preform, at least at some point during the process, which permits molten matrix metal (3) to spontaneously infiltrate the filler material (2) or preform. Such spontaneous infiltration occurs without the requirement for the application of any pressure or vacuum.
Patent AU-4632196-A (AU)
Title: Rolling membrane stent delivery device
Inventor: KUSLEIKA RICHARD S
IPC: A61F2/966
Filed: 1996-02-26
Abstract: A device for deploying radially self-expanded stents and other radially expandable stents includes an inner catheter, an outer catheter surrounding the inner catheter, and a tubular stent retaining sheath formed of a rolling membrane. The sheath is doubled over upon itself to provide an inner sheath layer attached to the inner catheter, and an outer sheath layer attached to the outer catheter. The sheath layers extend along and surround a radially self-expanding stent, to maintain the stent distally of the inner catheter and in a radially compressed, axially elongated state. Distally of the stent, the inner and outer sheath layers converge and are narrowed in the distal direction to define a tapered distal tip. To release the stent, the outer catheter is moved proximally to roll the membrane away from its surrounding relation to the stent, whereupon the stent radially self-expands progressively, beginning at its distal end. When completely retracted after stent release, the sheath surrounds a distal region of the inner catheter, and can provide a protective layer between arterial tissue and a dilatation balloon supported along the distal region. As an alternative, a stent formed of a recovery metal can be plastically deformed into a reduced radius state for delivery, which facilitates use of a more flexible stent retaining sheath. A further alternative involves securing the sheath proximally of the dilatation balloon, so that sheath retraction leaves the dilatation balloon exposed, rather than covered by the sheath.

Title: Scanning head for scanning documents
Inventor: KRUGER TILMANN
IPC: H04N1/10
Filed: 1999-06-19
Abstract: The invention relates to the line-by-line optical scanning of documents and images by means of a sensor. According to the invention, to this end a reference point of the optical axis is displaced along a v-shaped trajectory, whereby the distance from the sensor to the document remains the same. This allows for a very simple mechanical structure for the optical support, which can be part of an articulated quadrangle.

Title: Method of noise rejection in a magnetostrictive position detector including determining a valid time range for propagation of sonic pulses over a reference distance
Inventor: BEGIN JOHN D
IPC: G01B7/02
Filed: 1993-07-16
Abstract: A position detection probe having a magnetostrictive wire stretched between a head and a reflective foot end termination, and a magnet movable along the probe uses the sonic pulse propagation time from the magnet to the head as one parameter and the time from the magnet to the foot and reflected back to the head as another parameter for determining the magnet position. The sum of the propagation times is a constant which is used as a reference value. Upon receipt of the first two pulses the propagation times are summed and compared to the reference value, and the data is accepted if the sum is within a prescribed window around the reference value. When noise occurs, it creates a false measure of propagation time so that the sum of the propagation times is no longer equal to the reference value and the data is rejected.

Title: Preparation of emulsifier-free aqueous polyurethane dispersions
Inventor: FISCH HERBERT
IPC: C08G18/08
Filed: 1990-02-06
Abstract: Emulsifier-free aqueous polyurethane dispersions are prepared by reacting (a) dihydroxy compounds, (b) diisocyanates and (c) chain extenders to give a prepolymer having terminal isocyanate groups, then reacting the prepolymer with (d) salts of aliphatic aminocarboxylic or -sulfonic acids or amino-containing or hydroxyl-containing tertiary ammonium salts, dispersing the resulting polyurethane in water and, if required, removing the organic solvent by distillation. In the process, an organic condensation resin which is dissolved in a solvent is admixed before the polyurethane obtained is dispersed in water.

Patent AU-5250299-A (AU)
Title: Enzymes for biopolymer production
Inventor: PEOPLES OLIVER P
IPC: C07K19/00
Filed: 1999-07-30
Abstract: In order to optimize the flux or flow of carbon intermediates from normal cellular metabolism into PHAs it is desirable to optimize the expression of the enzymes of the PHA biosynthetic pathway. Gene fusions are genetic constructs where two open reading frames have been fused into one and encode hybrid proteins and in some cases bifunctional hybrid enzymes. Linkers may be added to spatially separate the two domains of the hybrid protein. In the case of enzymes which catalyse successive reactions in a pathway, the fusion of two genes results in bringing two enzymatic activities into close proximity to each other. When the product of the first reaction is a substrate for the second one, this new configuration of active sites may result in a faster transfer of the product of the first reaction to the second active site with a potential for increasing the flux through the pathway.

Title: Method and device for the three-dimensional representation of information
Inventor: SCHWERDTNER ARMIN
IPC: G02B30/30
Filed: 1997-12-15
Abstract: The invention relates to an autostereoscopic method and a device for the three-dimensional representation of information according to a barrier-, lenticular-, prismatic mask-, or similar method using flat-panel displays (liquid crystal-, plasma-, electroluminescent- or other displays) for use in the computer and video technology, games and advertising, medical engineering, virtual reality applications, and other fields. According to the invention, the image points are proportionally tracked to lateral movement of the observer by shifting, for each colored subpixel, of the intensities of the colored subpixels to horizontally adjacent colored subpixels. The method can be used with known devices. It becomes especially useful when, for each image point, n+1 adjacent colored subpixels are addressed. Observers moving sideways continue to see the image in practically consistently high quality.

Title: Interactive book
Inventor: BURROWS ROGER IAN
IPC: G09B5/00
Filed: 1994-06-14
Abstract: An interactive book or device (100) having a mechanism for generating a plurality of sensory outputs in a manner that maximizes the interaction between the user and the book or device. The interactive book includes function initiators (106) for initiating a unique sensory output that corresponds to a visual indicia (114) on a page of the book (104). A function level selector (108) is coupled to the function initiators (106) that selectively changes a function level and thereby selectively changes the sensory output corresponding to each function initiator (106). Consequently, the number of sensory outputs is increased and thereby enables greater interaction between the user and the book. It also encourages the user to creatively combine the sensory outputs to obtain a cognizable aggregate output. <IMAGE>
