Title: Simulated marble
Inventor: ROCHEFORT MALCOLM PAUL
IPC: B44F9/04
Filed: 1985-04-24
Granted: 1987-06-11
Abstract: A method of forming simulated marble articles from materials polymerisable within a cell or mould characterised in that the mould is filled under conditions in which the polymerisable materials are introduced as streams following the flow path into the cell or mould and the contents are polymerised with the cell or mould disposed so that the flow lines are on a height gradient relative to each other. Limited intermixing of the compositions during the initial stages of the curing process produce an attractive simulated marble effect. The mould may be filled so that the flow lines are disposed in a near vertical position and then rotated so that they are in a near horizontal position with adjacent flow lines on a near vertical height gradient.

Patent AU-528534-B2 (AU)
Title: Smoke detector
Inventor: TRESCH ERWIN
IPC: G01N21/53
Filed: 1980-01-18
Granted: 1983-05-05
Abstract: A smoke detector containing a radiation source operating in a pulsed mode and a scattered radiation receiver connected in a coincidence circuit. This circuit contains a counter which counts both the radiation pulses and the incoming scattered radiation pulses. With undisturbed operation this counter, following each radiation pulse, has an even numbered counter state. The appearance of an uneven numbered counter state is indicative of the presence of spurious pulses and leads to resetting of the counter to null, so that there is prevented attainment of a counter state adequate for tripping an alarm signal. On the other hand, with the presence of a predetermined even numbered counter state there is triggered an alarm. Such smoke detector is almost immune to spurious pulses and does not tend to trigger faulty alarm signals.

Title: Ablation catheter
Inventor: FEARNOT NEAL EDWARD
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1991-08-21
Granted: 1993-11-18
Abstract: An ablation catheter is provided with an elongated member or shaft (110) and a plurality of helically-shaped cutting wires (104) atached to the shaft to form a cutting basket (150). Each of the cutting wires has a section formed as a circumferentially subscribing arc (105) and together the wires present a circumferential cutting area of an essentially cylindrical configuration. Each of the wires (104) comprises a first curved or straight section (123) extending from the distal end of shaft (110) to a discontinuity such as a corner or kink (125). Obstructing matter on the inner surface of a vessel cavity, such as a blood vessel or the like, is separated from the surface as the catheter is moved through the vessel. The catheter may be inserted in a vessel in a standard fashion using a wire guide (102) which extends through a longitudinal passageway in the shaft and a hub (103) interconnecting the basket wire. The shaft and basket together may be contained in an outer sheath to facilitate insertion. The outer sheath with the basket in a collapsed state in the outer sheath may be readily moved past an obstruction, and the sheath withdrawn to allow the basket to expand and come in contact with the interior surface of the vessel cavity. The proximal ends of the cutting wires extend from the shaft through a vibratory transducer, and the distal ends are connected together by a hub. Electrical current is applied to electrical terminals connected to the cutting wires at the proximal end of the shaft to heat the wires to facilitate separating obstructing matter from a vessel surface. Futhermore, the vibration transducer vibrates the cutting wires to further aid in separating plaque and obstructions from soft tissue such as the intima layer of the wall of a blood vessel.

Title: Port liner
Inventor: NIEDERT DAVID WILLIAM
IPC: F02B77/02
Filed: 1982-10-07
Granted: 1986-03-20
Abstract: An improved port liner and its method of assembly into a cylinder head of an engine such that an air insulating layer is formed between the outer periphery of the liner and the inner diameter of an exhaust passage. The liner is a thin, stainless steel member having an arcuately-shaped section and a straight section which permits it to be inserted only one way into an exhaust passage. This is important for it allows for automated machine assembly of a valve guide which must be pressed through an opening located in the outer surface of the liner. The method of assembly also limits the physical contact between the liner and the cylinder head and this in conjunction with the air layer reduces the loss of thermal energy from the passing exhaust gases.
