Patent AU-2252292-A (AU)
Title: Endoscopic extraction device having composite wire construction
IPC: A61B17/22
Filed: 1992-06-16
Abstract: Disclosed herein is an endoscopic extraction device which retains its operative usefulness for longer periods of time, and therefore need to be replaced less frequently. This extended instrument life is accomplished through the use of a composite wire construction, which includes, an inner monofilament wire of nitinol material surrounded by six stranded stainless steel wires. A wire construction in which a nitinol wire is surrounded by five stranded stainless steel wires is also disclosed. After constructing a wire basket in the normal manner using this material, heat is applied to the formed basket in its pre-formed shape to set the memory characteristics of the inner nitinol core.

IPC: B65D41/34
Filed: 1995-05-26
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/CH95/00120 Sec. 371 Date May 8, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date May 8, 1996 PCT Filed May 26, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/00171 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 4, 1996Closure caps with anti-tamper strips (3) are used to visually display initial opening of a container to the public. The possibility of opening such a container without evidence should be prevented as far as possible. The possibility of stretching the anti-tamper strip (3), in order to then manipulate it past the bead on the container mouth, is here countered by an additional security ring (7). This security ring (7) is arranged coaxially to the actual anti-tamper ring (3). It is connected to the anti-tamper ring and mainly surrounds the lower area (5) of said anti-tamper ring. Access to the actual anti-tamper ring is considerably hindered as a result. In a preferred embodiment, the security ring possesses weakened zones (10) that break during manipulation, so that the interference will be visibly displayed to the outside.

Patent AU-2776989-A (AU)
Title: Surround-sound system
IPC: H04S5/00
Filed: 1989-01-06
Abstract: Spectral imbalance (alteration in timbre) when playing home video versions of motion pictures is overcome by re-equalization according to a unique correction response curve which compensates for the equalization for playback in large theater-sized auditoriums inherent in motion picture soundtracks. Surround-sound home playback of motion pictures is enhanced by employing main channel loudspeakers that produce generally direct sound fields and surround channel loudspeakers that produce generally diffuse sound fields. Preferably, further equalization is applied to the reproduced surround channel to compensate for the differences in perceived timbre between direct and diffuse sound fields. In addition, the reproduced surround-sound channel is further enhanced by decreasing the interaural cross-correlation of the surround-sound channel sound field at listening positions within the room, preferably by introducing slight pitch shifting in the signals applied to multiple surround loudspeakers.

Title: Improvements relating to annealing
Inventor: DONOHUE PAUL PETER
IPC: H01L41/43
Filed: 2000-03-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus for annealing an integrated ferroelectric device ( 10 ) is disclosed in which the device ( 10 ) comprises a first layer of material capable of existing in a ferroelectric state and a second layer of material defining an integrated circuit below the first layer such as a microbridge thermal detector. The method comprises producing a pulse of energy, extending the pulse temporally using a pulse extender ( 200 ) and illuminating the first layer with the extended pulse. The duration and wavelength and fluence of the extended pulse are selected so that the material of the first layer is annealed into a ferroelectric state without exceeding the temperature budget of the integrated circuit. Application of the method in heating other articles which comprise a layer to be heated and a temperature sensitive layer is also disclosed. By extending the temporal width of the pulse, energy is supplied at a rate which ensures a more even heating of the first layer without damaging the temperature sensitive layer over time.

Title: Method and apparatus for providing guaranteed quality of service in a local or wide area network
Inventor: GOLDEN MICHAEL E
IPC: H04L45/02
Filed: 1999-04-09
Abstract: A method and apparatus for adapting existing packet-switched LAN infrastructures (e.g. packet-switched Ethernet) so as to be able to provide reserved-bandwidth virtual-circuit switching services in addition to their conventional capabilities. A centralized control point is incorporated within the infrastructure, preferably via a firmware upgrade to an existing enterprise-class switch, that maintains a map of paths between endstations in the network, as well as the bandwidth capabilities of all links and switches along the paths. When a virtual circuit connection between endstations is requested, the centralized control point determines whether the requested bandwidth is available all along the path. If so, the resources along the path are reserved for the connection. Existing switches in the LAN infrastructure are adapted to give priority to packets belonging to the connection, thereby providing the desired QoS for that connection.

Title: Automatic clamping unit for receiving and holding a tool holder
Inventor: ERICKSON ROBERT A
IPC: B23B29/04
Filed: 1989-08-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic clamping unit of the type having a spring loaded lock rod that is movable between an unlocked and locked position. A pair of locking balls are confined about the locking rod and are operative to move outwardly for engagement with the shank of a tool holder in response to the locking rod moving from the unlocked position to the locked position. The lock rod of the present invention includes a variable sloped ramp for engagement with each locking ball. As each locking ball moves along the variable sloped locking ramp, the mechanical advantage applied to the locking balls through the ramp varies due to the variation in slope. Each locking ramp is particularly configured such that the resultant locking load exerted by the locking balls against the shank of the tool holder is relatively constant although the position of the locking rod and the force being applied to the locking rod varies.
