Title: Container closure and method for manufacture thereof
Inventor: BROWN EDWARD M
IPC: B65D41/18
Filed: 1989-05-10
Abstract: A container closure (122) comprises a cylindrical molded unitary member defining a top panel (122h) and a skirt depending from the top panel to an open end for securement to the container, the skirt being interiorly tapered (122f) at the open end. The taper begins flush with the outer surface of the skirt (122g) and ends in a first circumference extending radially of the central axis of such cylinder. The skirt further defines a bead (122d) extending radially interiorly of the skirt to a second circumference radially closer to the cylinder central axis than the first circumference. The closure provides sealing retention pressure in accordance with the radially interior extent of the bead and exhibits evidence of an initial removal from the container. In one embodiment, the bead is generally of semispherical configuration and flow passages (122d-1) may exist in the bead, preferably over less than the hemispherical extent thereof. In another embodiment; said skirt further defines front and rear locking tabs (220, 220A, 226) respectively mutually spaced perimetrically at a location above said tapered surface and a bead at a location below said top panel and said locking tabs. The method for making the closures involves the use of a stripper plate (118) to participate in part in defining a mold cavity.

Title: Process for the production of ultrafine powders
Inventor: MCCORMICK PAUL GERARD
IPC: C01F17/235
Filed: 1999-05-17
Abstract: A process for the production of ultrafine powders that includes subjecting a mixture of precursor metal compound and a non-reactant diluent phase to mechanical milling whereby the process of mechanical activation reduces the microstructure of the mixture to the form of nano-sized grains of the metal compound uniformly dispersed in the diluent phase. The process also includes heat treating the mixture of nano-sized grains of the metal compound uniformly dispersed in the diluent phase to convert the nano-sized grains of the metal compound into a metal oxide phase. The process further includes removing the diluent phase such that the nano-sized grains of the metal oxide phase are left behind in the form of an ultrafine powder.

Patent AU-4851700-A (AU)
Title: Task scheduling and message passing
Inventor: BINNS PAMELA A
IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 2000-05-15
Abstract: Methods for modeling real-time periodic and aperiodic task scheduling and message passing within multitask systems. The methods utilize undelayed and single sample delayed message connections among software task objects and hardware objects. Task priorities are assigned inversely with period or deadline, so that tasks with shorter periods or deadlines have higher scheduling priorities. Periods of high-criticality tasks are decomposed into smaller pieces that are sequentially dispatched at higher rates where the initial assignment of priority is inconsistent with task criticality. The methods provide for deterministic communication among periodic processes.

Patent AU-5184090-A (AU)
Title: Matrix metalloproteinase peptides: role in diagnosis and therapy
Inventor: LIOTTA LANCE A
IPC: C07K16/00
Filed: 1990-03-01
Abstract: A family of metalloproteinases exist which cleave extracellular matrix molecules. These metalloproteinases are secreted in a latent inactive form and require activation in order to specifically cleave the preferred substrate. A series of peptides have been prepared based on the complete sequence analysis of type IV procollagenase. Peptide inhibitors were synthesized which correspond to cysteine repeat regions and histidine containing regions; the mechanism of action of these peptides involves inhibition of binding of the enzyme to the substrate. Peptide inhibitors were synthesized which correspond to the peptide cleaved off during activation, and constitute a novel class of metalloproteinase inhibitors. These inhibitors are members of a series of peptides which contain the core amino acid sequence RKPRC or analogs thereof. The cysteine residue is required for activity. Affinity purified antibodies directed against specific peptides can be used to a) detect any general metalloproteinase enzyme with the sequence in part VAAHE or PRCGNPD, and distinguish it from other known members of the metalloproteinase family, b) block functional domains resulting in the inhibition of enzyme activity, and c) distinguish latent from activated forms of the enzyme.

Title: Decorative signage with portions in relief and method of making same
Inventor: STECKER WILLIAM M
IPC: B29C41/22
Filed: 2000-05-19
Abstract: A method of producing a low stress, decorative article of manufacture having at least one relief portion extending therefrom includes casting a first thermosetting resin into recesses formed within a mold surface such that the first resin is not in contact with the mold surface. The first resin is partially cured to a "B" stage to provide an air inhibited out-of-mold surface. A coating of second thermosetting resin, such as unsaturated polyester, is then applied onto the partially cured first resin and onto the mold surface. A substrate having a face is placed in contacting relationship with the second thermosetting resin film and a progressively moving compressive force is applied to the second thermosetting resin via the substrate to prevent air from becoming entrained within the second thermosetting resin. The first and second thermosetting resins cure without the second thermosetting resin imparting shear stress on the first thermosetting resin.

Title: Disposable syringe for once-only use
Inventor: DUCA CARMELO LO
IPC: A61M5/50
Filed: 1990-06-20
Abstract: This invention relates to a disposable syringe for once-only use. The syringe comprises a hollow cylinder which carries a needle at one end and houses a plunger connected to one end of a shaft, the other end of which is provided with a manually operable shaped head. The diameter of this head is a maximum in proximity to that portion adjacent to the shaft and reduces gradually towards the free end of the head. The shaft length is such that when the plunger has been pushed to the bottom of the cylinder, the maximum diameter portion of the head is housed within the cavity of the cylinder, from which the decreasing diameter portion of the head projects, so that the shaft head can no longer be gripped by the fingers in order to move the shaft backwards and reuse the syringe.

Title: Method of producing an elastomer blend that is similar to thermoplastic elastomers, on the basis of reclaimed rubber or waste rubber
Inventor: MICHAEL HANNES
IPC: C08J11/00
Filed: 2000-05-17
Abstract: An elastomer blend that is similar to thermoplastic elastomers is produced from powered reclaimed rubber or waste rubber. The powdered rubber is processed to compounds by subjecting it to a melt-mixing process in a mixer together with a thermoplastic material and at least one stabilizer. A mixture that consists of two phases that are usualy incompatible, namely the powdered rubber and a thermoplastic material, is processed to a blend that is characterized by the properties of the rmoplastic elastomers. To this end, at least one polypropylene copolymer or a mixture thereof with at least one polypropylene type is melted in the mixer and powered rubber, at least part of which has been pre-swelled in a radical donor, is dosed to the melt. The powered rubber is dispersed in the plastic matrix by applying high shearing strains and admixing radical-forming agents in order to couple the two phase.

Title: Method for removal of monovalent ions from ZnSO``electrolyte by electrodialysis
Inventor: BALL DONALD L
IPC: C01G9/06
Filed: 1986-07-22
Abstract: Monovalent ions, especially chloride, fluoride and thallium, are efficiently removed from ZnSO4 electrolyte by electrodialysis using alternating monovalent anion permselective membranes and cation exchange membranes or monovalent cation permselective membranes. Electrodialysis is carried out under turbulent flow conditions, at up to 60 DEG C, a differential membrane pressure of less than 150 kPa, a current density of 10 to 500 A/m<2>, and a pH of less than 5.5. Where both chloride and fluoride are removed a pH of 3.5 to 5.5 is maintained. Deposition of manganese and zinc on the electrodes is minimized by at least one of a number of means including arranging the membranes such that the end membranes are monovalent anion permselective; selecting a large electrode rinse flow; adding a small amount of soluble antimony and/or cobalt to the rinse flow; and using a cathode made of a material that promotes hydrogen evolution over zinc deposition. The electrode compartments are preferably rinsed with a 0.1 to 1.0 M Na2SO4 solution at pH 0 to 4.
