Patent AU-4837899-A (AU)
Title: Automatic drain valve
Inventor: CORNWELL JAMES P
IPC: F16K51/00
Filed: 1999-06-28
Abstract: A drain valve removes liquid from a compressed air system whenever cycling pressure of the system reaches either a preselected high drain pressure or a preselected low drain pressure at an inlet port of the valve. An inlet face of a piston of an adjustable pressure valve assembly within a valve body normally seals the inlet port when there is no pressure. The piston is located within a portion of a central cavity of the valve. The piston's inlet face is of a size which allows the force of the adjustable pressure valve assembly to be overcome by a pre-selected high drain pressure at the inlet port. The area of a vent face on the other side of the piston has a size which, when the vent face is sealing the vent passageway, prevents the force exerted by the adjustable pressure valve assembly from overcoming the pressure of the compressed air system until a pre-selected low drain pressure is reached at the inlet port. In either case, the relative sizes of an opening between an inlet cavity and a vent cavity within which the piston is mounted and a vent orifice, and the area of a dividing member mounted across the piston between the inlet cavity and the vent cavity, allow liquid to be drained by the drain valve until such time as all liquid has been removed and compressed air fills the valve.

Title: Autosegmentation/autocontouring system and method for use with three-dimensionalradiation therapy treatment planning
Inventor: HIBBARD LYN
IPC: A61N5/10
Filed: 1998-03-03
Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for automatically computing contours representing the boundaries of objects in three-dimensional tomographic images that may be formed by computed tomography ("CT"), magnetic resonance imaging ("MRI"), positron emission tomography ("PET"), single proton emission computed tomography ("SPECT"), or other appropriate methods. The system and method begin with a sample region of the object's interior and the single region is expanded in a step-wise fashion. At each step, a contour maximally matching the region's current edge, local gray-level gradient maxima, and prior contour shapes is determined. Upon completion of region expansion, the object contour is set to that step-contour having the maximum value of an objective function summing contributions from region edges, gradient edges, and prior shapes. Both the region expansion and the boundary contour determination are formulated such that there is a guaranteed average minimum error in the determination of the contours. This contour is represented as a parametric curve in which the contour size and shape are specified by the values of the parameters. These parameters are independent variables of the objective function. The parameters also are considered to be random variables capable of encoding a distribution of contour shapes, and by assuming a particular distribution, the contribution of shape constraints to the object function can be computed. The resulting contour corresponds to the set of parameters for which the objective function is a maximum.

Title: Method, pressure-supply member and pressure-supply system for active after-feeding of castings
Inventor: JACOBSEN OLE ANDERS
IPC: B22D18/08
Filed: 1998-03-18
Abstract: When pouring casting cavities in casting moulds having after-feeding reservoirs, tubular lances are introduced, firstly with their point at a short distance from the after-feeding reservoir, after which the lances are pressurized from a pressure chamber and by means of a member with an inclined surface pressed downwardly through the last short distance to the after-feeding reservoir so as to pressurize the latter. With this arrangement it is possible to pressurize the after-feeding reservoirs without the need of equipping the casting moulds with complicated extra equipment and without risk of the molten metal being pressurized unnecessarily.
