Patent AU-5203893-A (AU)
Title: Means for predicting performance of stainless steel alloy for use with surgical needles
Inventor: BENDEL LEE P
IPC: C22C38/00
Filed: 1993-11-29
Abstract: A martensitic stainless steel alloy comprised of 11.5 to 12.5% chromium by weight, between 9.5 and 10.2% nickel by weight, molybdenum 0 to 4.7% and the combination of titanium and tantalum ranging from 0.89% to 5.6%, with the remainder comprising iron and trace elements, containing less than 0.1% carbon is claimed. The formula for martensite finish temperature, Mf ( DEG F), enables one to predict the temperature at which a steel is entirely converted to martensite, and is described as Mf = 1027 - 78% Ni - 27% Ti - 34% Mo. A desirable needle alloy for this amount is nickel at 10%, molybdenum at about 2.7%, and titanium at about 2%.

Title: Process for producing usable energy from parallel flows
Inventor: SCHATZ JURGEN
IPC: F03D3/04
Filed: 1996-05-08
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE92/00450 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 24, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 24, 1993 PCT Filed May 29, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/21878 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 10, 1992.A device including a flow unit generating a potential vortex having an inflow aperture and an outflow aperture, together with a turbine arranged in the direction of flow of the potential vortex. The flow unit comprises an outer hollow member having a plurality of flaps and plates at both ends, with one plate containing the outflow aperture, and an inner hollow member arranged concentrically of the outer hollow member. The built-up pressure acting on the outer hollow member opens some of the movable flaps and closes others, which generates a rotary flow. The rotary flow, while flowing tangentially into the inner hollow member, is accelerated further and forms a swirl flow which is directed outwardly by the vacuum at the outflow aperture and which, after having passed through the outflow aperture, is converted into the potential vortex by the shear forces of the parallel flows. A separating element in the outer member divides the rotary flow into a first and a second partial flow and has a through-flow aperture directed towards the inner hollow member. The potential vortex draws a flow volume from the second partial flow or from outside through the through-flow aperture, with the turbine being arranged in the potential vortex. Vortex generating elements convert the second partial flow into a plurality of vortices, with the vortices being included in the potential vortex. The potential vortex coil produced in this way generates an intensifying flow field.

Title: Annular fluid manipulation in lined tubular systems to enhance component mechanical properties and flow integrity
Inventor: TAYLOR JACK CURTIS
IPC: F16L59/14
Filed: 2000-06-13
Abstract: A method of treating fluids in an annulus (18), comprising the steps of: providing a fluid-circulation annulus (18) between a host tubular (10) and a liner (17) therein; and manipulating fluids in the annulus (18) so that the relative proportions of fluid components in the annular fluid correspond to the relative permeation rates of the fluid components from the bore to the annulus (18). The method may further comprise the steps of: detecting an undesired fluid in the annulus (18); and manipulating the annular fluids in response to the undesired fluid, so that the relative proportions of fluid components in the annular fluid, including the undesired fluid, correspond to the relative permeation rates of the fluid components from the bore to the annulus (18). In a case where the undesired fluid has potential for harm to the host tubular (10), the manipulating step may reduce the potential for harm.

Title: Capping machine
Inventor: HASLAM JAMES KEITH
IPC: B67B3/20
Filed: 1986-04-11
Abstract: A capping machine for applying removable closures to bottles, jars or other containers has a capping head cantilevered (without other support) from a post (38) rising from the machine base, the capping head height being infinitely variable by simple adjustment. The side belts (50) which engage the containers are also infinitely variable for height, being carried by a parallelogram structure (108,128,130,138) pivoted on the capping head body and adjustable by means of a single nut (146). The cap chute has a pair of retractable rollers to locate the closures at the pick-up point, these rollers being mounted on tension-spring biassed cranked levers so pivoted that their lever arm, for movement of the roller axes, makes only a small acute angle with the path of the closures. The sealing shoe is suspended in the capping head by a pair of levers which permit the shoe to rock in a vertical plane.

Title: Impregnated substrate incorporating an indicator dye
Inventor: FELLOWS ADRIAN NEVILLE
IPC: D06M13/00
Filed: 1986-07-22
Abstract: An impregnated fabric material comprising a fabric substrate to which has been bonded an active cationic impregnant characterised in that there has also been applied to the substrate an anionic indicator dye in combination with a further cationic component, and in that the dye bonds to the further cationic component more readily than to the substrate and thrt the further cationic component competes with the impra- gnant for bonding to the dye. In the case of a wiping cloth, when the dye, which can act as an indicator, has been removed to indicate exhaustion of the active component, enough active component in fact remains on the cloth to provide a safety margin.

Title: Photocurable compositions
Inventor: POCOCK STEPHEN JOHN
IPC: C08F290/00
Filed: 1990-08-17
Abstract: Photocurable compositions comprising a photocurable resin produced by reacting from 0.4 to 0.9 equivalents of acrylic acid with 1.0 equivalents of a cresyl novolak-type epoxy resin and thereafter reacting the product with a dicarboxylic acid anhydride, the reaction of the acrylic acid with the cresol novolak-type epoxy resin having been catalysed in the absence of an amine or phosphine catalyst. The absence of an amine or phosphine catalyst avoids gelling, particularly at reactant ratios where gelling has been encountered hitherto.

Title: Methods and apparatus for handling tubing used in medical procedures
Inventor: GOLDSTEEN DAVID S
IPC: A61F2/82
Filed: 1997-11-05
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for delivering and installing a new length of tubing between two sections of a patient's existing body organ tubing and at least partly outside of that existing structure. For example, the new length of tubing may be for the purpose of providing the patient with a coronary bypass. The new tubing may be an artificial graft, a natural graft (harvested elsewhere from the patient), or both. The new tubing is delivered to and installed at the operative site primarily by working through the patient's existing tubular body organ structure. This avoids the need for any significant surgery on the patient. The artificial grafts may have shapes other than tubular. Certain procedural and apparatus aspects of the invention have uses other than in connection with grafting in general or tubular grafting in particular.

Such device includes a shift register (10) for receiving input data (13); and data processing means (12), including a pseudorandom nonlinear sequence generator (32), for executing the following data processing routine a selected number of cycles to provide output data (15): processing (18, 22, 30) the contents (16) of said shift register with a key signal (14) to provide initially processed data (28); initializing the pseudorandom nonlinear sequence generator with the initially processed data; running the pseudorandom nonlinear sequence generator to generate a keystream (34); segregating (36, 38) portions of the keystream; processing (44) said segregated portions of said keystream with a portion of the data in the shift register to provide a block of processed data; and shifting said block of processed data into the shift register. To further increase the randomness of the pseudorandom keystream generator, and hence the encryption security, the data processing routine segregates the keystream in accordance with a routine (36) wherein the beginning of said segregated portion is provided at a time related to the beginning of the keystream in response to a duration indication (Y); segregates (38) every nth bit of the keystream from said beginning of said segregated portion for a selected number of segregated bits in response to a frequency indication (n); and provides said initially processed data by first processing (18) said shift register contents and said key signal and then rotating (22) data produced by said first processing in response to a rotation indication (X). The duration indication, the frequency indication and the rotation indication are each separately provided for each of the cycles and may be different for each of the cycles. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>
