Patent AU-6280699-A (AU)
Title: Improved pushbutton lock
Inventor: BURLEIGH CHARLES E
IPC: E05B37/00
Filed: 1999-09-30
Abstract: Various enhancements are provided to a pushbutton lock to enhance its security. One is the provision of button tips that are mounted on the ends of the button assemblies and spring-loaded to protrude from the face of the lock, regardless of whether the underlying button is "in" or "out". By this arrangement, a bystander cannot readily see the button combination by the pattern of depressed buttons. This arrangement also reduces tactile feedback between the underlying button assembly and the externally available button tips, increasing resistance to pick attacks. A further enhancement is the provision of button bars between adjacent pairs of button tips. Whenever any of the button tips is manually depressed, the corresponding button bar is pressed into engagement with, and prevents movement of, a member that must be moved in order to unlock the lock. This arrangement further increases lock security by preventing an attacker from experimentally pressing buttons and judging the tactile effect thereon in attempted unlockings of the lock. <IMAGE>

Title: Sol-gel process using porous mold
Inventor: GANGULI RAHUL
IPC: C01F7/02
Filed: 1999-10-07
Abstract: A sol-gel process for producing dry porous metal oxide monoliths, e.g., sili ca glass monoliths, in which the successive process steps of gelling, aging and  drying all occur within a mold formed of a porous non-organic-polymer material, e.g., graphite. The mold is inert to the gel solution and has sufficient strength to withstand the temperatures and pressures encountered during the process. The mold and gel thereby can remain within a sealed autoclave during these process steps, and mechanical handling of the mold an d the gel are minimized. This substantially enhances the process' efficiency. Alternatively, the mold can have a non-porous inner skin to enhance ease of cleaning of the mold, and of removal of the gel.

Title: Water-injection nozzle assembly with insulated front end
Inventor: SEVERANCE WAYNE STANLEY JR
IPC: B23K10/00
Filed: 1999-12-01
Abstract: A nozzle assembly for a plasma arc torch includes inner and outer metal nozzle members and an annular insulating element press-fit between the inner and outer nozzle members so that the nozzle members are electrically insulated from one another and bores of the nozzle members are coaxial. Additionally, the annular insulating element is constructed such that the inner and outer nozzle members are secured together to define a water passageway between the interior surface of the outer nozzle member and the exterior surface of the inner nozzle member. The nozzle assembly may further include an outer insulating element secured onto the exterior surface of the outer nozzle member, in which case the annular insulating element between the nozzle members may not be press-fit to the nozzle members. The annular insulating element may define at least one port for introducing water into the water passageway. The port extends in a direction that is generally tangential to an imaginary circle around the longitudinal discharge axis so that the water swirls in the water passageway. Alternatively, the nozzle assembly includes an annular insulating swirl ring press-fit between the inner and outer nozzle members. The swirl ring is displaced along the longitudinal discharge axis from the first annular insulating element and is positioned between the first annular insulating element and the bore of the inner nozzle member. <IMAGE>

Title: Compositions and methods for treating cancer and hyperproliferative disorders
Inventor: NACY CAROL A
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1994-05-26
Abstract: The present invention encompasses methods for reducing or inhibiting growth factor in cancer cells and tissues. More particularly immunogenic growth factor-containing compositions are administered to a human or animal with a cancer or tumor. The immunogenic compositions elicit the production of antibodies specific for growth factor which reduce the level of circulating growth factor, thus reducing or eliminating the proliferation of cancer. The present invention encompasses growth factor-containing liposomes and vesicles having portions of growth factor externally presented on their surfaces. The present invention also includes antibodies specific for growth factor. Thus, according to the present invention, growth factor levels are reduced either by active immunization of an individual using immunogenic growth factor-containing compositions or by passive immunization via administering to the individual an antibody or a group of antibodies specific for growth factor.

Title: Roof support in underground roadways
Inventor: DURRFELD WERNER
IPC: E21D11/15
Filed: 1982-04-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a process and device for backfilling of a roadway structure of mine and tunnel construction utilizing support hoses filled with a hardening filler. The hoses, when empty, are supported by the roadway support, after being put in place on the support are filled and thereby stretched out to form an inflated profile which locks onto the support section. The process and device used has the advantages of not being limited to certain specific support structure spacings and may be applied to a variety of roadway sections. The support section has the general shape of an I-beam and when used in multi-part roadway structures the section junctions are protected against overloads even when they are designed with limited yieldability. The support hose is laid on and supported over part of its length directly by the outer face of an "I" beam support section flange facing the rock. Where the flange supports the hose, the support section flange wholly or partly indents the cross-section contour of the inflated profile when the support hose is stretched out as it is filled with the hardener compound.

Title: Freely separable surgical drill guide and plate
Inventor: CESARONE MORRIX DANIEL
IPC: A61B17/16
Filed: 1998-06-20
Abstract: Instrumentation for osteofixation including a locking bone plate and a surgical drill guide. The plate has a plurality of fastener holes with inner walls of a preselected hole diameter. The drill guide has a guide member, for guiding a drill bit, and a hollow collet disposed substantially coaxially with the guide member. A radially expandable forward end of the collet comprises a radially expandable neck and an outwardly projecting rim disposed forward of the neck. This rim defines a contracted outer rim diameter that is smaller than the hole diameter in a contracted collet position, and an expanded outer rim diameter that is larger than the hole diameter in an expanded position. Thus, the rim is freely extractable through the plate hole in the contracted position, but is unreceivable through the plate hole in the expanded position. The collet neck is configured and dimensioned to press outwardly against an inner wall of the plate hole when the neck is expanded.

Uma armação de subestrutura de escavadeira é produzida para reduzir o grau de usinagem necessária para suportar um mancal oscilante e anel de suporte, sobre as quais uma plataforma oscilante superior, incluindo a cabina e a plataforma do operador, são montadas. A armação é feita de duas seções de armação separadas, tendo placas de topo e saias periféricas moldadas, que aninham-se juntas para formar um suporte planar, sobre o qual o anel de base de um mancal oscilante e anel de suporte são montados. As placas de seção de armação são finas o suficiente para que se flexionem para conformarem-se com o anel de base do mancal oscilante, de modo que não é necessário fornecer uma superfície usinada para o mancal oscilante. As seções de armação são soldadas entre si somente em torno das bordas periféricas e saias, de modo que a distorção das placas é substancialmente eliminada. As placas podem ser então aparafusadas ou presas diretamente ao anel de base de mancal, preferivelmente empregando-se um anel de fixação sobre a base das placas de armação, e fornecerão um adequado suporte com as duas espessuras de placas, e serão retas e quadradas sem usinagem.
