Patent AU-4751096-A (AU)
Title: Optical coupler
Inventor: FORKNER JOHN F
IPC: F21V8/00
Filed: 1996-01-16
Abstract: An optical fiber manifold is provided for coupling light from an illumination source to a plurality of spaced, large diameter output fibers, or "light pipes", which are used for a variety of purposes, such as illuminating pools, spas, hazardous material zones, jail cells, and other applications where direct lighting is dangerous, difficult to maintain, or subject to vandalism. The manifold comprises a light converging element, which may be either a lens or a reflector, for converging light separately on each of the spaced optical fibers. The light converging element is segmented, with each segment corresponding to one of the optical fibers, and is precise enough that substantially all of the convergent light is received by the respective cores of each of the spaced output fibers, thereby minimizing light loss.

Title: Toy vehicle having impact-responsive crash simulation
Inventor: HALFORD WAYNE
IPC: A63H17/02
Filed: 1999-08-02
Abstract: A front portion (12) and rear portion (14) of a toy vehicle (10) are pivotally secured to each other by a pivot (32) and an over-center action spring mechanism (70). The front and rear portions define travel limit stops which secure the front and rear portions in a straight line arrangement in one direction of over-center spring action. Additional limit stops are provided in the opposite direction in which the front and rear portions are pivoted into a crash simulation configuration. In one embodiment, the pivotal attachment of the front and rear portions of the toy vehicle allows pivotal movement in the horizontal position while, in an alternate embodiment, the pivotal attachment between front portion and rear portion of the vehicle allows pivotal movement thereof in the vertical plane. In both instances, the over-center action of the spring mechanism operative upon the pivot provides a maintaining spring force for straight line configuration and for angled crash simulation configuration.

Title: Hydraulic percusive machine
IPC: B25D9/12
Filed: 1986-03-18
Abstract: In a hydraulic percussive machine with a shuttle valve 19 to control the flow of fluid to and from a drive chamber 14 there are no timing lands on the piston 11 and a seal 25 between the drive and return chambers. This is made possible as a result of a restrictive orifice 24 connected to the shuttle valve of conventional design and a port 22 in the return chamber 15 which is covered and uncovered by the piston 11. When the port 22 is uncovered the shuttle valve 19 moves over under pressure. When the port is covered, pressure leaks through the orifice 24 to that the shuttle valve moves back again.
Patent AU-5818280-A (AU)
Title: Ultrasonic doppler detection
Inventor: GLENN W E
IPC: A61B8/06
Filed: 1980-05-07
Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a method and apparatus for determining the velocity of a material within a body, and which is also capable of simultaneously imaging sections of the body. In the velocity-determined method, a focused beam of ultrasound is directed, over a given aperture, toward the skin of the body, the central ray of the focused ultrasound beam being oriented substantially normal to the skin. The ultrasound beam reflected from the body is received over the same aperture. Preferably, the steps of directing and receiving the ultrasound employ the same single transducer, and focusing is achieved using a focusing lens. Beat frequency signals are detected in the received beam, these signals resulting from the beating of Doppler effect components reflected from the moving material, for example, blood corpuscles of moving blood within the body. Velocity-representative indications, for example, audio or video presentations, are then generated as a function of the detected beat frequency signals. The detected beat frequency signals are beats between Doppler effected portions of the received ultrasound beam which have frequency components above and below the frequency of the originally directed ultrasound beam.

Title: Accurate range and range rate determination in a satellite communications system
Inventor: DAI JIN
IPC: G01S5/12
Filed: 1999-09-08
Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for accurately determining the distance (range) between one or more satellites and a user terminal and the rate of change (range rate) of that distance. When accurately determined according to the present invention, these quantities can be used to determine the location of the user terminal with a high degree of accuracy. When one satellite is available, the present invention determines the range and range rate based on the Doppler frequency shift that a signal experiences between the satellite and the user terminal, the round trip delay a signal experiences during transmission from the satellite to the user terminal and back via a satellite to a gateway, the Doppler frequency shift a signal experiences between the satellite and the gateway, and the timestamps of the measurements. When a second satellite is available, the present invention determines the range and range rate between the second satellite and the user terminal based on the round trip delay, the Doppler frequency shift that a signal experiences between the second satellite and the user terminal, and the difference in arrival times at the user terminal of the signals from the satellites.
Patent AU-6422100-A (AU)
Title: Torque limiting device for surgical use
IPC: B25B23/157
Filed: 2000-08-17
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a device for limiting the maximum torque that is applied to a screw during a surgical procedure. The driving connection between the input and output shafts of the device is established through a plurality of transmission balls, which are maintained in position by the action of an elastic element within the torque limiting device. When the counter-torque created by the resistance of the screw exceeds the torque exerted by the elastic element, the transmission balls are caused to be disengaged, thereby severing the driving connection between the input and output shafts and preventing overtightening of the screw. The present torque limiter can be fully sterilized by autoclaving, as required for use in a surgical setting.
