Patent AU-692536-B2 (AU)
Title: Drive arrangement for vacuum power circuit breakers, in particular in a tri-polar configuration
Inventor: MUCKSCH DIETMAR
IPC: H01H33/66
Filed: 1995-03-23
Granted: 1998-06-11
Abstract: In a known drive arrangement in which the switching-off process is initiated after actuation, for example, of an electromagnet by a pin secured to an "off"-trigger shaft as a result of rotation of the latter, thereby enabling a roller of the switching lever to run past the "off"-trigger shaft, the switching-off process occurs when the switching lever has rotated back and the articulated lever systems have moved out of the extended position. However, as the switching lever moves past, it strikes the "off"-trigger shaft. In order to reduce the resultant wear of the "off"-trigger shaft (6) and to actuate the wiping contact (11') associated with the "off"-trigger shaft (6) only during the switching-off process, so as to attain an even greater number of switching cycles, the switching lever (1) has a circular segment (7) with the peripheral surface (9) of which the "off"-trigger shaft (6) is operationally connected in any position of the switching lever (1). Detachably mounted on the "off"-trigger shaft (6) is a trigger bar (11) for connecting and disconnecting a wiping contact (11'). The drive arrangement can also be used for small oil-volume power circuit breakers.

Title: Active spall suppression armor
Inventor: MUSANTE RONALD E
IPC: F41H5/04
Filed: 1988-09-02
Granted: 1991-06-06
Abstract: A spall backing material (40) contiguously attached to an armor plate (20) at least suppresses the formation of lethal armor spall (24) from being propelled from the inner surface of the armor plate when the outer surface of the armor is impacted by a weapon with sufficient impact to release high velocity spall from unprotected armor. When the impedance of the spall suppression armor is equal to or greater than the impedance of the armor plate, the formation of lethal spall in the armor will be prevented. When the spall backing material is reduced in thickness to minimize weight and has an impedance lower than that of the armor plate, or a more powerful weapon is used, armor spallation will occur but will be suppressed by the spall backing material to minimize lethality.

Title: Conversion of stacked fcc unit
Inventor: CABRERA CARLOS A
IPC: C10G11/18
Filed: 1989-08-15
Granted: 1991-08-29
Abstract: A stacked FCC reactor-regenerator arrangement is converted into an FCC riser unit having a two-stage regenerator. In this method, a stacked FCC unit having a bottom regeneration vessel, a superadjacent reactor vessel, and a stripping vessel laterally offset from and in open communication with the reactor vessel are used to make a two-stage regenerator having a lower first stage of regeneration, an upper second stage regeneration vessel, and a catalyst cooler for removing heat from the regenerated catalyst. This method involves modifying the vessels in the stacked reactor regenerator arrangement by converting the bottom regeneration into a first stage regeneration vessel, the upper reactor vessel into a second stage regeneration vessel and the stripping vessel into a regenerated catalyst cooler which operates as a downflow type catalyst cooler or a backmix type catalyst cooler. Therefore, apart from the addition of a new riser reactor only relatively minor modifications are necessary to convert the stacked reactor-regenerator arrangement into modern unit having a a two-stage regenerator.

Title: Minimally invasive valve annulus sizer
Inventor: RHEE RICHARD S
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1999-06-18
Granted: 2003-04-03
Abstract: An annulus sizer measures the size of a valve annulus during annuloplasty surgery. The annulus sizer includes a sizing portion for measuring the valve annulus and a coupling portion for attaching to a handle. The coupling portion is disposed on a proximal surface of the sizing portion. The sizing portion has a thickness on the order of about 0.1 inch. This relatively small thickness of the sizer facilitates minimally invasive annuloplasty surgery. For example, the sizer may be inserted through a relatively small intercostal incision. In addition, the relatively thin sizing portion minimizes optical distortion. The coupling portion may be disposed on the sizing portion at a location which is offset from the center of the sizer, thereby defining an enlarged viewing area. The coupling portion may have threading to engage with threading of the handle to ensure secure attachment.

Title: Method and apparatus for making cohesive sheets from particulate absorbent polymeric compositions
Inventor: REZAI EBRAHIM
IPC: B29C43/00
Filed: 1993-09-23
Granted: 1997-07-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus (1) for making a cohesive sheet from particulate substantially water insoluble, absorbent hydrogel-forming polymer materials. The method comprises the steps of continuously layering dry absorbent gelling particles onto a conveyor. The particles are then sprayed with a liquid mixture, which is a solution of water and a cross-linking agent for the polymers in the particulate material. The amount sprayed is sufficient to cause effective surface cross-linking of the particulate material after the sheet is cured. The layering and spraying steps can then be repeated a number of times if desired. Pressure is then applied to the particulate material by passing it through a pair of compaction rolls. The apparatus (1) comprises a conveyor (3), one or more feeders (5) for layering the dry absorbent gelling particles onto the conveyor, one or more sprayers (4) for spraying the particles on the conveyor with the liquid mixture and a pair of compaction rolls (6).
