Title: Trenchless underground boring system with boring tool location
Inventor: STUMP GREGORY S
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 1996-12-20
Abstract: An apparatus and method for locating an underground boring tool using a radar-like probe and detection technique. A boring tool is provided with a device which generates a specific signature signal in response to a probe signal transmitted from above the ground. Cooperative operation between the probe signal transmitter at ground level and a signature signal generator disposed within the boring tool provides for the accurate locating of the boring tool, despite the presence of a large background signal. The signature signal produced by the boring tool, may be generated either passively or actively, and in a manner which differs from the probe signal in one or more ways, including timing, frequency content, or polarization. A survey of a boring site, made either prior to or during the boring operation, provides data related to the characteristics of the ground medium subjected to the survey and the identification of underground hazards, such as buried utilities. <IMAGE>

Title: Integrated fluid manipulation cartridge
Inventor: POURAHMADI FARZAD
IPC: B01D11/00
Filed: 1998-12-24
Abstract: A cartridge (101) for separating a desired analyte from a fluid sample includes a sample port (103) and a sample flow path extending from the port through the body of the cartridge. The sample flow path includes at least one flow-through component (122), e.g. filter paper or a microfabricated chip, for capturing the desired analyte from the sample as the sample flows through the cartridge. The cartridge also includes an elution flow path for carrying elution fluid through the component (122) to release captured analyte from the component into the elution fluid. The elution flow path diverges from the sample flow path after passing through the component (122). Flow controllers (41A and 41B) direct the remaining fluid sample into a waste chamber (139) after the sample flows through the component (122) and direct the elution fluid and eluted analyte into a reagent chamber (141) and reaction chamber (143). The continuous-flow design of the cartridge permits the rapid processing of a fluid sample that is larger in volume than any interactive region within the cartridge, allowing increased sensitivity in the detection of low copy concentrations of analytes, such as nucleic acid. A preferred embodiment relates to a device for lysing components of a fluid sample, the device comprising inter alia, an ultrasonic transducer.

Patent AU-2682392-A (AU)
Title: Unidirectional ear microphone and method
Inventor: NORRIS ELWOOD G
IPC: H04M1/05
Filed: 1992-09-23
Abstract: An ear piece device configured for being supported in the ear and providing a microphone which primarily detects only sounds originated by the user is contained within a housing which is configured at one end to fit snugly at the ear canal of the user, but not to extend within the ear canal. A microphone element is coupled within the housing in a position such that the microphone element is separated from contact with the skull of the user by the housing. This microphone element is contained within a casement which is mechanically and acoustically isolated from vibrations occurring within the housing. Mounting rings formed of acoustical absorbing materials are interposed around the casement and between the housing and casement in a displaced configuration on opposing ends of the casement to result in cancellation of residual vibrations passing to the microphone element from the housing. A speaker element may be included within the ear device and can be decoupled acoustically so as to avoid feedback. This system can operate with full duplex and enable hands free communication and direct voice command by user through computer modems, telephone networks and other communication systems.

Patent AU-2774484-A (AU)
Title: Radiation curable pvc resins
Inventor: MARTENS JOHN ARTHUR
IPC: C08F259/04
Filed: 1984-05-07
Abstract: This invention relates to radiation-curable poly(vinyl chloride) resin compositions that can be processed to form shaped articles, coatings, and films. Poly(vinyl chloride) resins are generally characterized by low impact strength. To remedy this shortcoming, radiation curing of compositions of poly(vinyl chloride) resins containing various plasticizers and crosslinking agents has been utlized. However, certain crosslinking agents cause radiation-cured poly(vinyl chloride) resins to become cloudy and exude oily materials upon storage. 
<??>It has been discovered that poly(vinyl chloride) resin compositions containing an ethylenically-unsaturated compound having carbonylamino or thiocarbonylamino groups are readily convertible at low temperatures to crosslinked polymers and are radiation-curable to dimensionally stable articles and films that are clear and that do not exude oily materials. 
<??>The cured poly(vinyl chloride) resin compositions of the invention are useful in the form of such shaped articles as self-supporting films, foils, and sheets and as coatings. The compositions of this invention are particularly useful as a sheet for a tape support for an adhesive and as coating compositions for substrates such as wire and flat cable insulation.

Title: Method and apparatus for facilitating physiological coherence and autonomic balance
Inventor: CHILDRE DOC L
IPC: A61B5/024
Filed: 2000-03-01
Abstract: Method and apparatus for determining the state of entrainment between biological systems which exhibit oscillatory behavior such as heart rhythms, respiration, blood pressure waves and low frequency brain waves based on a determination of heart rate variability (HRV) and an evaluation of the power spectrum thereof. Entrainment reflects a harmonious balance between the two branches of the autonomic nervous system within the body. This internal state of heightened physiological efficiency enhances health and promotes optimal performance. According to one embodiment a method is used to determine the entrainment level based on an entrainment parameter related to HRV. The method first determines the power distribution spectrum (PSD) and then calculates an entrainment parameter (EP), which is a measure of the power distribution in the HRV spectrum. High EP values occur when this power is concentrated within a relatively narrow range of frequencies, and lower values when the power is distributed over a broader range of frequencies. In one embodiment, an apparatus is provided for monitoring the heart beat and presenting this information via a personal computer, handheld device, or other processing means.

Patent AU-3804185-A (AU)
Title: Gas motor
Inventor: NEUKOMM PETER A
IPC: F01B27/02
Filed: 1985-01-24
Abstract: A piston of a gas engine is reciprocatingly guided in a cylinder. A gas inlet valve whose valve closure component consists of a ball is situated in the cylinder head. The ball is pushed open in the top dead-center position of the piston by a protrusion formed on the upper portion of the piston in order to admit propellant gas into an expansion chamber formed by the cylinder. The gas engine must be set into operation by turning a crankshaft. If the piston accidentally lies near top dead-center when starting, the piston must be moved against full gas pressure. In order to alleviate starting, a shut-off device is provided which has a start position and an operational position. The shut-off device connects the inlet side of the gas inlet valve with an air conduit opening into ambient air and obturates a pressurized gas container in the start position. The shut-off device obturates the air conduit and clears a gas supply conduit leading from the pressurized gas container to the inlet side of the gas inlet valve in the operational position. With the help of this shut-off device, it is possible to start even gas motors equipped with gear-reduction transmissions.

Title: Self-sealing fluid conduit and collection device
Inventor: COLEMAN CHARLES M
IPC: A61B5/15
Filed: 1989-09-11
Abstract: A self-sealing fluid collection tube is provided with an elongated bore and a fluid entry end. A plug of super-absorbent material is provided within the tube opposite the fluid entry end. This plug is preferably vented and is adapted to seal the tube by expanding when contacted by a fluid, such as blood. After the fluid has been collected, the tube is placed in a pipetter-dispenser in which a plunger, which is inserted into the tube, moves through a calibrated distance thereby advancing the plug into the tube and expelling a selected volume of fluid from the tube. Alternatively, the fluid may be transferred into another receptacle by piercing the sealed plug to form a new vent channel to permit drainage of the collected fluid into a receptacle.
