Patent AU-6209094-A (AU)
Title: Method for making hard-pressed wood
Inventor: KAUSE JAAKKO
IPC: B27M1/02
Filed: 1994-03-10
Abstract: A method for making hard-pressed wood by compressing a piece of wood to a volume smaller than its original volume. A piece of wood (11; 11a) sufficiently moist or even saturated with water is compressed preferably at room temperature in a direction transverse to the fibres by a relatively rapid compression motion so that substantially the same pressure exists in the transverse direction of the whole compressible piece of wood (11; 11a), whereby water is removed from the faces of the piece of wood (11; 11a) when the compression continues. After having been compressed to its final size, the piece of wood (11; 11a) is kept in the achieved compression volume and heated as a whole so that the materials therein plasticizing under the influence of heat bind the remaining wood material to an integral material, after which the wood still being in its compressed volume is cooled so that the wood solidifies permanently in its compressed form.

Patent AU-6231994-A (AU)
Title: Improved liquid decontamination apparatus and method
Inventor: ALLEN JUDITH L
IPC: B01F5/04
Filed: 1994-01-21
Abstract: In a multi-pass system for purifying oil or other liquids, an improved apparatus and method for mixing air with the contaminated liquid for separation after a phase change from liquid to gas. The contaminated liquid is drawn from a reservoir by a pump, filtered, and heated, and atmospheric air is induced into the contaminated liquid downstream of the heater by an eductor, which promotes the phase change from liquid to vapor. The liquid/contaminant mix, which now includes entrained air, is passed immediately through a second eductor, the compressibility of the air in the mix, followed by expansion of the compressed air as the mix exits the second eductor, causing intimate contact of air and contaminant, thereby promoting the stripping of the contaminant from the liquid. The air/liquid/contaminant mix is then routed to a level controlled separation tank, water vapor, contaminants, and condensate being released from the tank in the space above the pooled liquid. Purified, dry liquid is drawn from the tank by a second pump and delivered back to the reservoir.

Title: Process for drawing off a milk sample
Inventor: KOCHLI HEINRICH
IPC: G01N1/10
Filed: 1990-09-25
Abstract: In the device for taking milk samples from a milk feedline (1), in order to remove any milk residues left adhering in a suction line (5) and an injection needle (6) by the previous supplier, before the current supplier takes samples, the suction line (5) and injection needle (6) are filled with milk and, after being filled completely, are emptied again by pumping the milk back into the feedline (1). The complete filling is monitored by a control means (9) which controls a hose pump (7) in such a way that only the milk quantity just necessary for filling the suction line (5) and injection needle (6) is conveyed. Not until after this filling and emptying operation is the injection needle (6) introduced into a sampling bottle (8) arranged on a liftable plate (15). A holding-down device (16, 17, 18) guarantees that the injection needle (6) is stripped off perfectly from the sampling bottle (8) during the lowering of the plate (15) at the end of the sampling operation. The apparatus is characterised by the simple method by which residual milk can be removed from the suction line and injection needle in order to prevent carry-overs.

Filed: 1990-11-15
Abstract: A method of producing an optical multi-fibre conductor element (11) by extruding (5) a secondary sheathing (6) loosely around a fibre bundle of several optical fibres (1); providing the fibres with a desired extra length (8) with respect to the secondary sheathing; and reeling the conductor element onto a receiving reel (12).

Title: Method for coding an audio signal
Inventor: HERRE JURGEN
IPC: H04B1/66
Filed: 1998-03-13
Abstract: A method for coding or decoding an audio signal combines the advantages of TNS processing and noise substitution. A time-discrete audio signal is initially transformed to the frequency domain in order to obtain spectral values of the temporal audio signal. Subsequently, a prediction of the spectral values in relation to frequency is carried out in order to obtain spectral residual values. Within the spectral residual values, areas are detected encompassing spectral residual values with noise properties. The spectral residual values in the noise areas are noise-substituted, whereupon information concerning the noise areas and noise substitution is incorporated into side information pertaining to a coded audio signal. Thus, considerable bit savings in case of transient signals can be achieved.
