Patent AU-3964985-A (AU)
Title: Improvements relating to retractors
Inventor: SHARPE DAVID THOMAS
IPC: A61B17/02
Filed: 1985-03-08
Abstract: The invention defines a plastics disposable, hand applied medical retractor for retracting flesh at the edges of an incision or aperture in the human or animal body. At one end the retractor has a sharply inturned hook portion on the end of which are short, sharp, triangular teeth for impaling the flesh. The retractor bows upwardly from the hook portion and back down to a pad which has an adhesive undersurface so that it can be pressed directly to the skin so as to anchor thereto to keep the pulled back flesh in the retracted position. The said bowing allows the pulled back flesh to bunch upwardly to prevent such flesh from forcing the teeth out of engagement with the flesh and also provides inherent springiness tension in the retractor when it is applied improving its performance. Instead of the pad having adhesive it may have one part touch and close fastener, the other part being previously applied to the skin by pressure sensitive adhesive.

Title: Improved input/output control system and method
Inventor: ELLISON CARL
IPC: G06F13/12
Filed: 1993-06-15
Abstract: A digital data processing apparatus includes two functional units (40, 50) and a controller (10) for transferring information between them. Each of the functional units includes an associated memory element, (43, 53) such as a random access main memory. The first functional unit includes a sender element (41) that generates a send message descriptor block ("MDB") signal specifying one or more addresses in the associated memory means (43) from which data is to be transferred. The controller (10) identifies a send MDB signal that matches a selected receive MDB signal to generate a signal to effect the transfer of data between the respective memory locations (43, 53) of the first and second functional units (40, 50) specified by the matching MDB signals. A data transfer element (30) within the controller (10) responds to that transfer-effecting signals by (i) applying to the memory (43) of the first functional unit (40) an address signal representative of addresses specified in the send MDB signal and receiving therefrom data signals generated thereby in response to application of that address signal, and (ii) applying those data signals to the memory means (53) of said second functional unit, (50) along with an address signal representative of addresses specified in said receive MDB signal. <IMAGE>

Patent AU-4794385-A (AU)
Title: Adaptive processing network
Inventor: HARWOOD LEOPOLD ALBERT
IPC: H03H21/00
Filed: 1985-09-27
Abstract: An adaptive filtering system is disclosed, which may be used in a digital television receiver to extract low frequency vertical detail information from a comb filtered chrominance signal. This system provides wide bandwidth vertical detail information when the amplitude of the chrominance component of the composite video signal is low and narrower bandwidth vertical detail signals as the amplitude of the chrominance component increases. Adaptive filtering is accomplished by passing the comb filtered chrominance signal through a first low-pass filter (14) and developing two reduced amplitude replicas (21,21) of the filtered signal which are mutually supplementary. The ratio of the amplitudes of these two replicas is variable with a control signal.One replica is passed through a second low-pass filter (22) and combined (26) with the other replica to produce a vertical detail signal. The embodiment of the system that is disclosed includes means (41-46) for developing a control signal that is dependent on the instantaneous amplitude of the chrominance component of the composite video signal.

Title: Electric arc furnace for continuous charging
Inventor: POLONI ALFREDO
IPC: F27B3/06
Filed: 2000-05-17
Abstract: This invention is an electric arc furnace that can be continuously charged with ferrous materials, that can continuously melt the incoming charged materials, and that can semicontinuously tap molten steel by tilting to tap one side of the furnace or another. Continuous melting and refining can occur in lateral shafts adjacent to the central melting zone, and molten steel can be tapped from either of these shafts or directly from the central melting zone if desired. The furnace can be operated and tapped continuously, which provides many distinct advantages over what is currently available in the art.

Title: Regulation of site-specific recombination by site-specific recombinase/nuclear receptor fusion proteins
Inventor: STEWART FRANCIS
IPC: C07K14/195
Filed: 1994-06-28
Abstract: An invention is described that permits the regulation of recombination in cells, organism or appropriate cell-free systems. The invention involves creating fusion proteins between recombinase proteins, or components of recombinase systems, and ligand binding domains derived from nuclear receptors. The fusion proteins show little recombinase activity in the absence of the ligand that binds to the ligand binding domain. Upon binding of the ligand, recombinase activity is induced. The invention provides a practical means to regulate recombination in cells and organisms and, by linking ligand binding to recombination, provides a simple means whereby ligand binding can be measured as recombination achieved.

Title: Ribbon printing mechanism
Inventor: SCHROTZ KURT
IPC: B41K3/06
Filed: 1981-08-10
Abstract: This invention relates to a belt printing mechanism with parallel mounted endless type belts which carry on their exterior surface print types. These type belts extend around an adjustment wheel and a plurality of star wheels where the star wheels are rotatable about a shaft where each star wheel has four corners. A catch mechanism is held under tension against the star wheels and holds these in predetermined detent positions to prevent free rotation of the star wheels. When printing multi-character symbols, the selected print types of adjacent type belts must be brought into predetermined printing positions. In order to assure a clean print copy, care must be taken that the print types rest in the exact same line height. In order to accomplish this, the catch mechanism for each star wheel is provided with a spring tongue which touches at least two separated points of the perimeter of its associated star wheel between two adjacent corners thereof. The plane of each spring tongue with respect to the plane in which its associated star wheel rotates is an acute angle. When the type belts are adjusted, the catch mechanism generates pressures which are clearly recognizable by the operator and which simplify the procedure of bringing the print types into their predetermined printing positions.
