Patent NZ-531615-A (NZ)
Title: One-use retracting syringe with positive needle retention
Inventor: SHAW THOMAS J
Filed: 2002-12-02
Abstract: A retracting syringe (10) of one use has a plunger (38, 40) comprising a handle portion (38) and a needle retention portion (40) forward of the handle portion which serves as the plunger and preferably also serves to trigger the retraction mechanism (20) when the handle (38) is moved forward beyond the forward end-of-injection position. The positive locking structure (66) in the syringe barrel (12) permits one withdrawal of the handle in the rearward direction to fill the variable fluid chamber (56) and one movement in the forward direction to empty the variable fluid chamber but thereafter limits the rearward movement of the needle retention chamber and/or the handle to ensure that the syringe cannot be reused even if the user fails to trigger the retraction device to retract the needle (18).

Title: Methods and systems to identify code hierarchy bias in medical priority dispatch systems
Inventor: CLAWSON JEFFREY J
IPC: G16H40/20
Filed: 2009-06-25
Abstract: A computer system for identifying code hierarchy bias in a medical priority dispatch system, computer system for identifying code hierarchy bias in a medical priority dispatch system is disclosed. Further disclosed are a computer-implemented method to improve the clinical accuracy of determinant level codes generated by medical priority dispatch systems; a computer-implemented method for generating codes based on caller responses to enable evaluation and research of code hierarchy bias in medical priority dispatch systems and a computer-implemented method for emergency medical dispatch response. The computer system for identifying code hierarchy bias in a medical priority dispatch system comprises a medical priority dispatch system and a code hierarchy system The medical priority dispatch system generates a determinant level code indicative of the criticality of the call based on caller responses to questions asked by a dispatcher. The questions are provided to the dispatcher according to a pre-scripted protocol by the medical priority dispatch system, and the responses report represents a plurality of aspects and the determinant level code represents a subset of the plurality of aspects. Each aspect of the plurality of aspects comprising one of the following: a sign, a symptom, a condition. The code hierarchy system is in communication with the medical priority dispatch system. The code hierarchy system is configured to receive the determinant level code generated on the medical priority dispatch system, to generate a determinant level sub-code based on a combination of signs, symptoms, and conditions reported in the caller responses to the questions asked by the dispatcher, to store the determinant level code and the determinant level sub-code pair; and communicate to an emergency response agency the determinant level code and determinant level sub-code. The determinant level sub-code represents the combination of reported signs, symptoms, and conditions. The computer system compares the determinant level code and determinant level sub-code pair to other determinant level code and determinant level sub-code pairs to identify whether a combination of reported aspects of a situation is susceptible to code hierarchy bias and outputs information resulting from the comparison of determinant level code and determinant level sub-code pairs that can be used to improve the clinical accuracy of the determinant level codes generated by the medical priority dispatch system.

Title: Ground network with access node clusters for end-to-end beamforming
Inventor: CRONIN CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H04B7/204
Filed: 2017-01-13
Abstract: Techniques for end-to-end beamforming in a wireless communication system using access node clusters that are distinct from a user coverage area are described. Forward link end-to-end beamforming may involve multiple access nodes in one or more access node clusters transmitting signals that, when relayed by multiple transmit/receive signals paths within an end-to-end-relay, form user beams in the user coverage area. Return link end-to-end beamforming includes applying beamforming weights to signals transmitted by user terminals and relayed by multiple transmit/receive signals paths in the end-to-end relay to the access nodes to form return beam signals associated with return user beams. The access node clusters may overlap or be outside the user coverage area, and multiple access node clusters may serve one or more user coverage areas selectively or concurrently. Multiple feeder-link frequency bands may be employed by the same or different access node clusters.
Patent NZ-735393-A (NZ)
Title: Sign with variable indicia
Inventor: WAYNE FALCONER BELLANEY
IPC: G09F9/00
Filed: 2017-09-11
Abstract: Signs are widely used to indicate various items, a common use being to indicate a house or business address. One drawback of existing sign indicia is that they are generally sold as individual indicia e.g. a set number or a pre-set sequence of indicia. The retailer needs to have enough stock on hand to cater for varying indicia e.g. numerals which carries greater expense than if only one product was required. A further drawback in the art is the pervasiveness of adhesives as the mounting means and lack of a protective face on the indicia exterior. Adhesives can loose their strength over time and, once applied to a substrate, cannot be removed and replaced without causing damage. Described herein is a sign comprising: a stencil having a body and variable indicia, the variable indicia being formed as frangible segments in the stencil body using segment display numbering, the frangible segments thereof being separable from the stencil body by breaking the frangible segments from the stencil body, to display a desired indicia or indicia sequence on the stencil; a reflective panel located behind the stencil so that the reflective panel or a part thereof is visible through broken off frangible segments of the stencil so as to reflect light from the exposed variable indicia segments in the stencil; and a casing comprising a substantially clear or transparent cover and a mounting plate, the cover and mounting plate mating together to retain the casing together and completely enclosing the stencil and reflective panel inside the casing. Further, a method is described of indicating indicia, the method comprising the steps of providing a sign as described above and separating the frangible segments from the stencil to form the desired indicia or indicia sequence; then inserting the stencil into the casing and affixing the sign to a substrate. The sign and method described provides for various combinations of indicia in the one product, does not use decals and has a weather resistant and tamper resistant construction.

Title: System and method for producing high-purity high-activity vanadium electrolyte
Inventor: ZHU QINGSHAN
IPC: H01M8/18
Filed: 2017-01-16
Abstract: A system and method for producing high-purity high-activity vanadium electrolyte; using fluidised bed (2) gas phase ammoniation to convert high-purity vanadium oxytrichloride into ammonium salt, and in another fluidised bed (3), reducing the ammonium salt into low-valence vanadium oxide having an average vanadium valence of 3.5, adding clean water and sulphuric acid dissolution, and further using ultrasonic activation to obtain a 3.5-valence vanadium electrolyte that can be directly used for a new all-vanadium redox flow battery stack. The process of producing ammonium salt containing vanadium by means of fluidised bed (2) gas phase ammoniation is short and highly efficient; implementing accurate regulation and control of the state of the reduction product by arranging internal components in a reduction fluidised bed (3) and using ultrasound processing to activate the vanadium ions greatly improves electrolyte activity. The present method has the advantages of a short procedure, efficiency and cleanliness, and stable product quality, and can be used in large-scale industrial production, having good economic and social benefits.
