Title: Apparatus for preparing wire pieces for a stapling machine
Inventor: HANSCH EGON
IPC: B27F7/17
Filed: 1991-02-07
Abstract: The wire-section dispensing unit (14) has an advancing device (28) for advancing the wire (18) stepwise. The two advancing wheels (110, 112) are driven intermittently via a four-bar mechanism (120) and a freewheel (114) in the direction of the arrow (E, E'). It is ensured by means of the wire guiding element (34) that the beginning of the wire (18) is reliably inserted in each case into the recess (42) of the receiving part (40). The groove-shaped recess (42) is open towards the bottom and, before a wire section (10) is cut off by means of the knife (38), is closed by a transfer part passing by the opening (44) of the recess (42). The transfer part receives the cut-off wire section (10) and conveys it away.

Patent AU-7171691-A (AU)
Title: Redox mediator reagent and biosensor
Inventor: GERBER MARTIN T
IPC: C12M1/34
Filed: 1990-12-14
Abstract: A biosensor that includes working and counter electrodes of substantially the same size and made of the same electrically conducting material. A reagent is contained in a reagent well in the biosensor. The reagent includes a redox mediator, an enzyme, and a buffer, and covers substantially equal surface areas of portions of the working and counter electrodes. When a sample, containing the analyte to be measured, is added to the reagent well, a reaction occurs that oxidizes the analyte and reduces the redox mediator. After this reaction is complete, an electrical potential difference is applied between the electrodes. The amount of oxidized form of the redox mediator at the counter electrode and the applied potential difference must be sufficient to cause diffusion limited electrooxidation of the reduced form of the redox mediator at the surface of the working electrode. After a short time delay, current produced by the electrooxidation of the reduced form of the redox mediator is measured and the observed current is correlated to the amount of the analyte in the sample. In some cases, the analyte sought to be measured may be reduced and the redox mediator may be oxidized. In such cases, current produced by diffusion limited electroreduction of the oxidized form of the redox mediator is measured and correlated to the amount of analyte in the sample.

Title: Sortation system diverter switch
Inventor: BOZARTH CHARLES W
IPC: B65G47/84
Filed: 2001-04-26
Abstract: A positive displacement sorter, preferably of the parallel displacement type, includes a conveying surface, a plurality of pusher shoes capable of travelling laterally of the conveying surface, a plurality of diverting rails extending diagonally under the conveying surface and a plurality of electromagnetic actuators associated with the diverting rails. The pusher shoes include a transfer assembly below the conveying surface including a pilot member made of a magnetically permeable material.

The transfer member associated with the pusher shoe mechanically completes the divert that is initiated magnetically. This allows actuators to be positioned at a pitch that is no greater than the shoe pitch.

Date Dec. 17, 1987.A high speed coin sorter of the belt type has an elongate plate (8') along which coins (12) to be sorted are carried in single file by a belt (1) which is driven by a pulley (2). A series of coin deflecting recesses (15 to 18) of hockey stick shape are formed in the upper surface (8) of the plate (8'), and in dependence upon the denomination of a coin, as determined by a coin discriminator (10, 11) positioned in advance of the recesses, the coins are selectively deflected from their straight line paths along the surface (8) by respective solenoid-actuated pins (19 to 22), such that a coin is pressed by the belt into the appropriate deflection recess corresponding to that coin denomination. A shaft encoder (4, 6) is associated with the belt drive pulley (2), and the signals from the encoder are used to track the progress of the coins along the surface (8) from the discriminator to provide a timing signal for projecting the appropriate deflection pin. The encoder signals may be used by the discriminator (10, 11) as the basis of a diameter measurement.

Patent AU-7807398-A (AU)
Title: Surgical microtomes
Inventor: KLOPOTEK PETER J
IPC: A61F9/007
Filed: 1998-06-01
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for removal of biological tissue slices or layers, preferably in the form of lamellar sections of predetermined shape and thickness employing a reference member that engages a target tissue site and cooperates with a cutter in order to remove the tissue segment or lamella. The cutter can include a flexible cutting element such as a wire or band element that is brought into physical contact with a guiding edge integrated with, or otherwise coupled to, the reference member. Alternatively, the cutter can include a stiff rigid blade element that is maintained in contact with the guiding edge. The cutter is drawn along a path defined by the guide edge through the tissue to sever, at least partially, a tissue section. In one particularly useful aspect of the invention, devices for keratectomy are disclosed employing an ocular reference member that engages the upper central region of the cornea and cooperates with a cutter to remove a lamellar segment from the cornea. Such lamellar resections are useful in preparing the cornea for further surgery (by mechanical or laser surgical techniques), or in performing refractive keratectomy directly upon the eye, or in treating (e.g., smoothing) the corneal surface to correct abnormalities, (e.g., to remove ulcerated tissue or otherwise improve the optical properties of the cornea).
Patent AU-7829691-A (AU)
Title: Sulfite modified continuous digesting
Inventor: STROMBERG BERTIL
IPC: D21C7/00
Filed: 1991-06-11
Abstract: In the production of paper pulp by the sulfite pulping process, the amount of sulfite cooking chemical consumed per ton of pulp produced is significantly lowered, a much lower K-No. can be achieved without screen plugging, the wash circulation temperature is lowered, and the digester (19) runs better, in the practice of the invention. According to the invention, the wood chips entrained in sulfite cooking liquor are fed into the top of a digester, and flow co-currently to a central portion (21) of the digester, at which portion waste liquor is extracted and passed to flash tanks (25). An effective amount of the sulfite cooking liquor (preferably about 5-20%) utilized for producing the pulp is introduced into the vessel in the wash circulation (36), adjacent the bottom of the digester, to flow countercurrently to the material moving downwardly in the vessel. The produced sulfite pulp is withdrawn (at 33) from the bottom of the digester. The invention is primarily applicable to acid or bisulfite pulping, but also can be utilized with alkaline or neutral sulfite pulping. In some circumstances the entire cooking flow can be countercurrent (e.g. 5% up to close to 100% of the sulfite cooking liquor flows countercurrently to the material). <IMAGE>

Title: Method for esophageal invagination and devices useful therein
Inventor: FILIPI CHARLES JOSEPH
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1991-10-09
Abstract: A technique for invaginating the esophagus (20) at the gastroesophageal junction (10) is disclosed, as well as an invagination device (70) useful in the described technique. The invagination device includes an introducer guide (75) which has an outside diameter approximating that of the esophagus and a plurality of needle-receiving lumens (78) extending to its outer diametric surface. The invagination device also has an engagement assembly which includes 10 needles (88), each having a retracted position in which they lie within the needle-receiving lumens of the introducer guide, and an extended position in which they extend out of the lumens and project radially from the guide for engagement with the esophagus at the gastroesophageal junction. The invagination device is introduced transorally into the esophagus, its engagement assembly is activated to place the needles in their extended position in engagement with the esophagus, and the engaged invagination device is advanced the toward the stomach to fold the attached esophagus beyond the gastroesophageal junction. A remotely operable fastening assembly (50), which has been introduced into the stomach through an operating channel/insufflation port, is then operated to fasten the invaginated gastroesophageal junction to the surrounding involuted fundic wall. Finally, the needles are retracted back into their needle-receiving lumens and the invagination device and the fastening assembly are removed from the body of the patient. This minimally-invasive technique accomplishes the formation of a new valve between the esophagus and stomach, thus preventing acid reflux.
