Title: Needle-free medical connector with expandable valve mechanism and method of fluid flow control
Inventor: LEINSING KARL R
IPC: A61M39/02
Filed: 2009-01-12
Abstract: A needle-free medical connector includes a housing with a first port and a second port. The connector also includes a piston element defining a fluid passageway between the first and second ports. The piston element is movable between flow and non-flow positions. The piston element has an expandable section having a variable inner width and volume that forms a part of the flow path through the connector. As the piston is compressed to the flow position, the expandable section is expanded in width by movement over a flow post thereby maintaining or increasing the volume of the fluid passageway through the connector. The expandable section has a configuration permitting the continuous flow of fluid through its entirety.

Patent AU-2010229934-A1 (AU)
Title: A system and method for characterizing fractures in a subsurface reservoir
Inventor: WAYNE NARR
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2010-03-24
Abstract: The disclosed methods, systems, and software are described to optimize fracture characteristics and simulate fluid flow rates in a well model. The well model, which includes at least one fracture intersecting a production well, was generated using static and dynamic data such as measured fluid flow rates from the fractures into the well. Fluid flow in the well model is simulated to obtain simulated fluid flow rates between fractures and the well. Fracture properties, such as length, height and aperture, are then updated responsive to the measured and simulated fluid flow rates. Multiple simulation runs and updating of the fracture properties can be performed until the simulated fluid flow rates converge with the measured fluid flow rates. Pressure data can be used to determine gridblock permeability, which in turn helps constrain the model, thus providing more reliable fracture properties. Uncertainty ranges of the fracture properties can also be calculated.

Title: Compostion and method for hair straightening and curling
Inventor: SAUTE ROBERT
IPC: A61K8/00
Filed: 2010-06-03
Abstract: A composition and method of use therefore that allows for permanent straightening or curling of human hair that is not irritating to the skin, that allows for the immediate shampooing of hair thereafter and that provides for re-treatment of the hair without additional damage. The composition primarily uses dimethyl sulfone (MSM) and high temperatures to break and reform disulfide bonds as a means to allow for the penetration of low molecular weight proteins into the shaft of the hair. When curling the hair, it is understood that devices that will stretch hairs into curls at the temperatures expressed in the scope of the patent will produce a permanent curled hair. A test curl will indicate the heat and temperature required to permanently curl the hair being treated.

Patent WO-2011100796-A1 (WO)
Title: Active adaptive gyrostabiliser control system
Inventor: STEINMANN PAUL DOUGLAS
IPC: G01C19/02
Filed: 2011-02-17
Abstract: A gyrostabiliser control system and method for stabilising marine vessel motion based on precession information only. The control system employs an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) precession controller (60). This system operates with a gain factor that is always being gradually minimized so as to let the gyro flywheel (12) develop as much precession as possible - the higher the precession, the higher the roll stabilising moment. This continuous gain change provides adaptation to changes in sea state and sailing conditions. The system effectively predicts the likelihood of maximum precession being reached. Should this event be detected, then the gain is rapidly increased so as to provide a breaking precession torque. Once the event has passed, the system again attempts to gradually decrease the gain.
