Patent NZ-338049-A (NZ)
Title: Apparatus for the generation of power using a ramjet engine thrust modules
Inventor: LAWLOR SHAWN P
IPC: F02C5/02
Filed: 1999-09-27
Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus using partially unshrouded type supersonic ramjet thrust module(s) at the periphery of a low aerodynamic drag tapered disc rotor (102).   An unshrouded ramjet inlet compresses an impinging inlet air stream by utilizing the thrust module inlet structures and an adjacent housing sidewall (105, 106). Fuel is oxidized in the ramjet thrust module(s) producing combustion gases which rotate the ramjet at supersonic velocities about a shaft (108) for power generation.   Figure 14 depicts one embodiment where the apparatus is connected to an electrical generator (404) through a gear box (400).  Heat from the exhaust gases can be conventionally collected and for example past through an exhaust gas duct (430) to a heat exchanger (440), through which secondary working fluid or coolant (442), such as water, is circulated.  The heat exchanger can be designed to generate steam and the steam can be used to generate further power such as through a turbine (410) where the turbine in turn can be used to generate electricity utilising a generator (404).

Title: Method of coating and method of bonding
Inventor: LEACH ROGER JOHN
IPC: B05D3/02
Filed: 1999-10-08
Abstract: A method of coating is disclosed, wherein different thermosetting materials are deposited in two successive layers of powder form one upon the other on a substrate, the powders of the two layers have different cure-rates, while the layers are both in powder form, heat is applied to melt and fuse the powders into respective coatings bonded together on the substrate. Such coatings on a glass substrate are formed by laying down layers of different thermosetting materials one upon the other in powder form on surface. The powder of transparent bottom coating has a higher-cure rate than that of the top colour coating so that when heat is applied, top colour coating remains in the melt condition while the coating hardens, to bond with and enable rolling out onto the bottom coating, as well as bonding with a uppermost backing. Materials of different cure-rates are also used for bonding substrates together by bringing the two materials together while one is partly-cured and the other in the melt condition.

Title: Apparatus for detecting enuresis in a patient
Inventor: SMITH TOBY E
IPC: G01N27/04
Filed: 2000-07-21
Abstract: This invention relates generally to patient monitoring systems and more particularly concerns devices and systems used to monitor bed patients in hospital or other care-giving environments. In accordance with a first aspect of the instant invention, there is provided a wetness detector for use in-patient monitoring situations and which is adjustable in its degree of sensitivity to wetness. It contains at least two conductive regions (130, 140) placed on a non-conductive base (120) and which are preferably separated laterally by some distance. Isolated electrical leads (145) are attached to each conductive region (130, 140). Electrical current passes much more readily between the two conductive regions (130, 140) when an electrolytic solution such as urine is present within the switch, thereby making it possible for a separate electronic monitor to determine when wetness is detected.

Title: Methods for stabilizing and controlling apomixis
Inventor: CARMAN JOHN G
IPC: A01H1/00
Filed: 2000-10-30
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the induction, stabilization, and control of apomixis (asexual seed formation) in angiosperms for the purpose of producing, improving, and economically using superior-yielding agamic crops (crops possessing a capacity for both sexual and apomictic seed production). "Stabilizing" apomixis refers to processes that either convert a facultative apomict to obligate apomixis or confer mechanisms to a facultative apomict that prevent, during facultative sexual seed formation, the recombination of genes that cause apomixis such that progeny produced sexually from said facultative apomict inherit the allelic combinations required for apomixis. More specifically disclosed is (i) the production of two or more sets of genetically divergent sexual lines, either inbred or outcrossed, which sets of parental lines remain homozygous for genes that cause apomixis when hybrids are produced by crossing a member of one of such sets of lines with a member of another set, (ii) the hybridization of sexual inbred or outcrossed parental lines to produce apomicts, (iii) the stabilization of such apomicts through cytogenetic or molecular modifications, (iv) the improvement of apomicts by breeding or genetically engineering parental lines or apomicts, (v) the modification of facultative apomicts to abort female meiosis resulting in obligate apomixis except when a recombinant DNA that aborts meiosis is inhibited, and (vi) the modification of facultative apomicts to remain facultative except during inducible expression of a recombinant DNA that causes obligate apomixis by aborting meiosis. The various facets of this biological operating system may be selectively combined for the efficient production, improvement, and use of agamic crops.

Title: Interlocking closure device
Inventor: CISEK RONALD J
IPC: B65D33/25
Filed: 2002-08-15
Abstract: A closure device (121) for a thermoplastic bag (120) which includes two opposing, longitudinally extending interlockable male and female fastening strips (130, 131) having respective male and female closure elements or profiles (134, 136) that are deformed to interdigitate and produce an audible clicking sound and or tactile effect that is perceptible to the touch as the closure device is opened and closed. Interdigitation of the two profiles is achieved by cold forming the profiles while interlocked. The shape of the cold form is a stepped deflection (126a, 126b) of both profiles so that their shapes are generally congruent. The stepped deflections provide a change in the occlusion and peel force of the interlocking closure device thereby resulting in an audible clicking or popping sound as the closure device is opened and closed and a tactile effect that is perceptible to the touch as the closure device is closed.
