Title: Systems and methods for fail safe process execution, monitoring and output control for critical systems
Inventor: BANNING RONALD RAY
IPC: G05B9/02
Filed: 2000-12-14
Abstract: Methods and systems for fail-safe process execution, monitoring and output control for critical systems operating on an open bus architecture with multiple, independent partitions on a single processor is presented. The control system state variables and their status of critical systems, within the control laws and mode logic, are monitored for process completion and health, and shut down if necessary. The embodiments provide for a dual path for shut down of, for example, flight critical systems so that the failure of one partitioned module does not affect the operation of the remaining partitioned modules. One path involves the CPM and IOM determination of command/response health. If persistent faults are detected, then either the DSP monitoring or the CPM performance monitoring results in a discrete signal being sent to the H-bridge disable to shutdown the current output. The second path is CPM controlled via a separate discrete signal on the input/output controller to the flight critical system shut-off valve. By implementing these separate paths, critical systems in one partition cannot be defeated by a single failure in another partition.
Patent AU-2112001-A (AU)
Title: Implantable glucose sensor
Inventor: CLARK LELAND C
IPC: G01N33/66
Filed: 2000-09-13
Abstract: The sensitivity of enzyme-based polarographic electrodes to oxygen concentration can be significantly reduced or eliminated by providing an oxygen-reservoir in intimate contact with the oxidative enzyme. This is achieved by making a stabilized emulsion between the enzyme and a compound in which oxygen is extremely soluble. An aqueous glucose oxidase solution is emulsified with a perfluorocarbon liquid, and the resulting emulsion is stabilized by chemically crosslinking the mixture to form a gel. Thin layers of the emulsion are fabricated by spreading a layer of the liquid emulsion before gelation occurs. Additional carrier proteins such as albumin may be added to the enzyme prior to crosslinking to protect enzymatic activity and enhance gel strength. Additional electron transport compounds may be added to further reduce sensitivity to oxygen concentration.

Title: Device and kit for rapidly laying pollution booms in water
Inventor: MANZIN SERGIO MATTEO
IPC: E02B15/04
Filed: 1999-04-23
Abstract: The invention concerns modular construction of a retainer system which simultaneously can serve both for retaining and temporary storage. The design calls for a few basic elements which can be attached like "lego" and are always based on the same connecting elements (23). However, the design includes both lengthways and crossways coupling. This enables linear, star-shaped and web-shaped retainers to be constructed. The basic element consists of light-weight tubular canisters which serve as containers (13) for the dual sealed tubes folded into themselves. The length of the dual sealed tubes can be adapted to the particular situation and ranges, for example, from 5-100 meters. In the case of large-scale accidents, the new system can be combined with the heavy state-of-the-art retainers. However, it is particularly suited for smaller and medium oil spills, in the course of which the collection and skimming of oil can be particularly well optimized.

Patent AU-3625493-A (AU)
Title: Data compression process during storage and/or transmission of digital audio signals for studio applications with perceptive coding and variable length code
Inventor: BRANDENBURG KARL-HEINZ
IPC: G10L19/035
Filed: 1993-02-25
Abstract: A data compression process is disclosed for the storage and/or transmission of digital audio signals. Known processes, such as ASPEC, allow high quality music to be transmitted in a data stream that contains less than 10 % of the information contained in the data stream used in a CD. Known compression processes do not measure up, however, to the requirements of the professional studio technology, as the subsequent processing of the audio signals that takes place in the studio leads to audible disturbances. The disclosed process is insensitive to subsequent processing, such as tandem coding, mixing or fading. To achieve this insensitivity, the transposition of the audio signal from the time domain to the frequency domain is carried out with perfect reconstruction by means of a filter bank, the psychoacoustic masking effect is utilised to an essentially less extent, and a cascade multidimensional Huffman code is used for coding variable word lengths. This process allows audio signals destined to be used in studio technology to be transmitted at a data rate of 192 kbit/sec per channel.
