Patent AU-5164400-A (AU)
Title: Apparatus and method for the precise location of reaction plates
Inventor: KOWALLIS REID BURTON
IPC: B01J19/00
Filed: 2000-05-25
Abstract: Generally, the present invention provides a device and method for accurately locating a multi-well plate at a plate-support location, e.g., a work surface, of an automated laboratory machine, such that one or more acting members of the machine, such as an array of pipette tips, optical sensors, or the like, can accurately address and operate on the individual wells. Interior and/or exterior surface regions of one or more wells of a multi-well plate are used as the primary plate features engaged by locating structure of the machine. In one particular embodiment one or more upwardly tapered projections extend from a plate-support surface of a plate-handling machine for mating engagement with the exterior surface regions of one or more wells. In another embodiment, the exterior surface regions along one or more well bottoms are engagingly received within bores, or other receiving structure, formed on the plate-support surface of a machine. In a further embodiment, one or more downwardly extending projections depend from an acting-member support, along with the acting members of a machine. Introduction of the projections into some of the wells of a multi-well plate serves to align the acting members with the plate's other wells. A biasing assembly can be used to press together the engaging surface regions of the wells and the locating structures of the machine.

Patent AU-5559290-A (AU)
Title: High linearity d/a converter
Inventor: GLEIM GUNTER
IPC: H03M1/68
Filed: 1990-05-10
Abstract: A high linearity digital-to-analog converter (D/A) provides a linear output voltage using two D/A's. One D/A provides a number of coarse steps and another D/A increments the output voltage within the coarse steps using fine steps. Discontinuities in the output voltage caused by the changing from one coarse step to another are avoided by using reference voltages which ensure that the initial voltage available at the start of a coarse step is lower than the final voltage available at the end of the preceeding step.

Title: Macrodiversity transmission in a mobile radio system
Inventor: HAGELE FRANK
IPC: H04L1/06
Filed: 2000-07-04
Abstract: Mobile radio systems are known in which base stations receive radio signals from a mobile station in parallel over different radio paths and forward the user data contained in the radio signals as data blocks (TB1 to TBn) to a central station. Transmission is in the form of data frames (see Fig. 1b). In the receiver of the central station, erroneous data blocks are replaced with data blocks received correctly over another radio path. An erroneous data block (TB1) is detected by means of an entry in an associated check field (CID1). To speed up the reading of the check fields (CID1 to CIDn) and the access to the data blocks (TB1 to TBn), a newly structured data frame (see F in Fig. 1b) is proposed. The data blocks (TB1 to TBn) are arranged immediately side by side, with each data block containing a number of bits divisible by 8, and all check fields (CID1 to CIDn) are written into a check block (CB) provided for this purpose. This specific byte-oriented structure permits very fast access to individual data blocks. Also disclosed are a novel method of transmitting the data blocks (TB1 to TBn) as well as a mobile radio system, a central station, and a base station for carrying out the method.

Patent AU-6790181-A (AU)
Title: Pipe connector
Inventor: PICKERING D J
IPC: F16B7/04
Filed: 1981-02-27
Abstract: A pipe connector for connection to a pipe having a plain end comprises a body (10) having a profile matching that of the pipe, and a pair of jaws (12) extending outwardly for insertion within the end of the pipe. The jaws are formed with oppositely directed clamping surfaces (24, 26) for engaging the inner wall surface of the pipe end. One of the jaws (14) is fixed and integral with the body (10). The other jaw (16) is pivotally mounted on the fixed jaw (14) and is extended inwardly of the body (10) where it is threadedly engaged by a screw (38) which connects the pivoted jaw with the body so that by rotating the screw (38) in the appropriate direction the pivoted jaw (16) pivots away from or towards the fixed jaw (14) to clamp or unclamp the jaws from the pipe. The screw (38) thus provides a positive clamping force which greatly assists the dismantling of the connector from a pipe end when desired. The screw (38) also retains the pivoted jaw (14) in place and there are no loose parts to become lost.
