Patent AU-685910-B2 (AU)
Title: Blind rivet
Inventor: BROWNE LAURENCE ANTHONY
IPC: F16B19/10
Filed: 1995-04-12
Granted: 1998-01-29
Abstract: A self-plugging blind rivet (10) comprises a tubular rivet shell (11) and a stem (15) disposed in the bore (14) of the shell (11). The shell (11) comprises a generally cylindrical shank (12) with a preformed head (13) at one end. The stem (15) projects from the head end of the shell (11), and has a head (19) which abuts the tail end face (21). The shank (12) has two axially spaced zones (25, 29) of reduced diameters formed by rolling or crimping, and an intermediate zone (26, 27, 28) between them. The projecting stem is pulled to compress and deform the shank (12) to form a blind head. In order to avoid cracking of the blind head and to improve the grip range of the rivet, the intermediate zone has two transition zones (26, 28) forming an angle of 2 DEG  to 20 DEG  with the axis of the shank (12) in which the diameter of the shank increases progressively from that of the zones (25, 29) to a maximum in the intermediate zone (26, 27, 28). <IMAGE>

Title: Analyte detection from steady-state luminescence lifetime
Inventor: ZUCKERMAN RALPH
IPC: A61B5/145
Filed: 1995-04-19
Granted: 1998-05-14
Abstract: Methods are described for the in vivo topographic determination of tissue and bodily fluid oxygen concentration or PO2 within an imaged tissue, as well as a method for measuring blood or bodily fluid PO2 with a fiber optic catheter. In the first method, a lipid soluble, biocompatible fluorescent probe substance is administered to an animal body and accumulates within the lipid bilayers of its tissue cells. In the second method, the fluorescent probe substance is conjugated to a large molecular mass protein which causes it to be retained within a bodily fluid such as blood. In the third method describing a catheter design, in which PO2 is measured at the catheter tip, the tip contains the fluorescent probe substance dissolved in a viscous nonpolar solvent. In all methods described, a fluorescent probe substance is preferred whose fluorescence lifetime is quenched by molecular oxygen, and oxygen concentration or PO2 is determined by measuring the fluorescence anisotropy of the fluorescent probe substance. The bodily fluid or tissue containing the biocompatible fluorescent probe substance, or the fluorescent probe substance in a nonpolar solvent within a catheter tip, is irradiated with continuous linearly polarized ultraviolet light at a wavelength strongly absorbed by the fluorophore. The emitted fluorescence is resolved into its vector components parallel and perpendicular to the plane of polarization of the excitation light, thereby permitting the calculation of the fluorescence anisotropy of the irradiated specimen. Tissue and/or bodily fluid PO2 of the imaged specimen, or the PO2 of a fluid at the tip of a sealed catheter, is determined by applying a mathematical function which relates the fluorescence anisotropy of an O2-quenchable fluorophore to oxygen concentration or partial pressure.

Title: Method and apparatus for a sheet flow water ride in a single container
Inventor: LOCHTEFELD THOMAS J
IPC: E04H4/00
Filed: 1993-03-04
Granted: 1996-05-16
Abstract: Sheet wave generators have recently been hailed as the new generation of simulated wave generating water rides. The present invention relates to a sheet wave generator with a riding surface appended to a single container of water, i.e., a swimming pool, wave pool, or any existing or new water facility. Because the riding surface of the present invention is contained along its outer periphery, the water ride can be compact so that is suitable for placement in a relatively small area of land. The ride surface itself has an inclined surface, a transition turn area, and a downward declining surface which feeds back into the pool. This butterfly configuration is relatively compact, and can be situated such that the flow of water comes from and returns to the pool area. The invention also has a unique nozzle outlet area which is at or slightly below the elevation of the water surface in the pool, so that riders may skim over the nozzle area and onto the riding surface directly from the pool area.
