Patent AU-762936-B2 (AU)
Title: Droplet deposition apparatus
Inventor: TEMPLE STEPHEN
IPC: H04M1/72445
Filed: 1999-11-15
Granted: 2003-07-10
Abstract: A method of manufacturing an ink jet print head includes the steps of bonding a body of piezoelectric material to a base plate and cutting channels into the piezoelectric material to form ink chambers which are actuated by applying voltages to electrodes provided on surfaces of the chambers. The base plate carries IC's which contain the drive circuitry for actuating the ink chambers. To ensure reliable electrical connection between the chamber electrodes and the IC's, the electrodes and conducting tracks on the base plate are formed in a single step by depositing a conductive layer over both the PZT body and the base plate. A step of masking or selective removal of material may be performed to achieve the necessary patterning of the electrodes and tracks.

Title: Inertial filter
Inventor: WITT JAMES JOHN DE
IPC: B01D45/08
Filed: 1995-01-24
Granted: 1998-01-08
Abstract: This invention relates to an inertial filter (1) which utilises differential fluid velocity of a fluid flowing through fluid passageways (9) to remove particulate matter entrained in said fluid. The filter (11) has a plurality of baffle plates (2) located within a housing (3). Each baffle plate (2) has a medial deflector plate (4) from which extends a pair of lateral deflector plates (5). The plates have flanges (7,8) and adjacent plates are cooperable in use to form a fluid passageway (9) through the filter. The orientation and configuration of the flanges and plates form at least two areas where fluid flowing between the plates is alternately speeded up and slowed down. As the fluid flows centrifugal force flings particulate matter entrained in this fluid outwardly where it collects on the plates, flows operatively downwardly along the plates, is collected in a channel towards the operative bottom of the filter and is removed. <IMAGE>

Title: Downhole tool with extendable members
Inventor: EDDISON ALAN MARTYN
IPC: E21B10/32
Filed: 1999-11-19
Granted: 2004-05-27
Abstract: A downhole tool (10) for mounting on a drill string comprises: a mandrel (16); a body (18) axially movably mounted on the mandrel; and radially extendable members, such as stabiliser blades or cutters (30), mounted in the body and being operatively associated with the mandrel such that relative axial movement of the mandrel and body induces radial movement of the members. Application of axial tension to the tool produces axial movement of the body relative to the mandrel, tending to retract the members from an extended configuration. The mandrel may be arranged to draw the members inwardly to permit positive retraction of the members from an extended configuration. Further, the body may define a channel (32) and the mandrel and the members include an arrangement (38, 39, 40, 42) for maintaining a desired orientation of the members relative to the body channel.

Title: Process and apparatus for the production of bodies, especially building units from afterhardening materials
Inventor: ALPAR TIBOR DR
IPC: B28B3/24
Filed: 1988-04-28
Granted: 1990-10-25
Abstract: To produce articles, especially building elements from a material mixture which contains cement or/and lime as binder and is to be cured, the raw mixture is filled continuously into a template (1) and pressed in by ramming. CO2 gas at superatmospheric pressure flows through the mixture in the template space (5), whereby the mixture is cured by means of an instantaneous carbonating reaction to give a moulded article. Escape of the CO2 gas in the surroundings of the feed opening of the template (6) is prevented by making the material virtually gas-tight by mechanical means, for example by ramming it in. In the direction of the outlet opening (7), the pressure of the CO2 gas is reduced and, in the region of the outlet opening, the quantity of CO2 gas fed is then only just that which is still required for the chemical reaction. Consequently, there is not even a gas loss here. The continuously issuing article is cut to measure, for example by means of a saw (21).

Title: Interferon and interferon inducers combined with tobacco products
Inventor: ALVIN CARTER WILLIAM
IPC: A24B15/30
Filed: 1983-08-04
Granted: 1987-05-14
Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for preparing stabilized interferons and for combining stabilized interferon with cigarettes. Special domains of the interferon molecule are recognized by methods which are described. A means for constructing these domains by recombinant DNA technology is detailed. A method for stabilizing natural interferons is also described. A process for combining the stabilized interferon with cigarettes is presented. The combination of interferons and cigarettes is synergistic, especially because interferon effects are magnified at elevated temperatures and because interferon has a preferential effect on tumor cells, but for other reasons as well. The process is not obvious and will be beneficial to a large segment of mankind; those who use tobacco products.
