Patent AU-5402298-A (AU)
Title: Non-return device
Inventor: CURRID STEVE
IPC: E03C1/122
Filed: 1997-12-04
Abstract: A non-return device (10) comprises a flat silicone rubber tubing (50) defining a pair of walls (70, 90) which separate to admit fluid in a forward direction but remain together to block fluid flow in a reverse direction. A tubular body (30) surrounds the tubing (50) and comprises an off-set outlet (34) to provide an uninterrupted fluid flow surface for use in a non-vertical orientation. The tubing (50) is mounted on a cartridge (130) which moves axially within the tubular body and compresses the tubing against the tubular body to effect a seal when the device is mounted on an outlet. The tubing (50) provides good operational characteristics and sensitivity as a consequence of having a wall thickness which is 0.3% to 3% of its width.

Title: System and device for supplying oxygen-containing gas into a furnace
Inventor: UPPSTU ERIK
IPC: F23L9/06
Filed: 1993-11-18
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FI93/00488 Sec. 371 Date May 23, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date May 23, 1995 PCT Filed Nov. 18, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/12829 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 9, 1995This invention is directed to an arrangement and a device for distribution of oxygen-containing gas (air) in a furnace, into which fuel is supplied as solid or fluid particles (1). The fuel consists of e.g. spent liquor from the pulp industry. Said liquor burns partly as char (2) on the floor (3), and partly as suspended particles and as volatiles. Horizontal rows of gas jets (4) activate the char burning on the floor. Vertically extended configuration of gas jets (5) higher up induces strong horizontal gas circulation but reduces vertical flow extremes. The improved horizontal mixing increases burning stability, capacity and energy efficiency, but reduces emission of SOx, NOx and TRS. Lowered vertical recirculation permits better concentration of burning in the lower furnace and less carry-over of fuel particles.

Title: Orthotic apparatus and method for using same
Inventor: BRANCH THOMAS P M D
IPC: A61H23/04
Filed: 1999-08-10
Abstract: An inflatable bladder position a distance from a joint is attached to an external structural support which crosses the joint but does not support it. By inflating the bladder one limb segment is forced towards the external support thereby increasing the ranges of motion of that joint. Further, the inflatable bladder has an instant release valve which, when pressed, will instantly release the pressure within the bladder. The limb is positioned intermediate the bladder and the external structural support for optimal biomechanical efficiency.

Title: Power assisted liposuction and lipoinjection equipment
Inventor: MOZSARY PETER G
IPC: A61B17/32
Filed: 1998-03-09
Abstract: A power assisted liposuction/lipoinjection handpiece includes a handle (12) which provides power to reciprocate a cannula (10) back and forth during surgery The cannula (10) can be connected to the handle (12) by a connector (24) that is affixed to, integrally formed with, or selectively joinable to a reciprocating member (14). Benefits in sterilization, distribution and surgical use can be realized when the cannula (10) and connector (24) are joined together, such that the surgeon merely needs to remove the cannula (10) from the package and connect it to a reciprocating member of a powered handle (12). The handle (12) may be configured such that the reciprocating member (14) is selectively detachable; thereby, allowing the handle (12) to be used for additional surgical procedures such as sawing or drilling. A vacuum hose (26) is connected to the cannula (10) such that vacuum pressure can be exerted through the cannula (10) for aspirating severed fat tissue. Preferably, the connector (24) radially offsets the cannula (10) from the reciprocating member (14) to a position which is axially in alignment with the vacuum hose (26); thereby avoiding bend regions and enhancing suction.

Patent AU-7238081-A (AU)
Title: Mounting electrical devices
Inventor: GRUNST H
IPC: H02B1/48
Filed: 1981-06-30
Abstract: In devices for mounting electrical devices, in particular switch, command or signal devices on a plate, like a bottom plate of a switch box or an assembly plate of a switch box or switch board of the type with at least one mounting bar for the devices disposed parallel to the plate as well as with two vertically-extending supports mounted on the plate for each mounting bar and with screw connections between the supports and the mounting bar, the difficulty exists that it is hard to reach the screw connections between the supports and the mounting bars, because of tight space conditions due to a tight arrangement of the devices relative to each other and due to the wiring which leads to the devices. In order to be able to obtain a simple servicing and safe support of the mounting bars on the supports, even at the tightest space conditions, it is proposed to provide screws which are disposed vertically with respect to the plate and which cooperate with clamping plates which are so designed that by tightening the screws, the supports are rigidly connected with the mounting bar due to the clamping effect.

Title: Anti-theft product rack and method
Inventor: BULLIANT KENNETH W
IPC: G08B13/14
Filed: 1987-06-12
Abstract: The anti-theft product rack (10) continuously monitors the weight of the rack including individual product units (12). When a weight deviation is detected (16), it is characterized as either a disturbance or as the removal of one or more product units. An alarm (41) is sounded if the rack is continuously disturbed for a programmable number of continuous weight sensing cycles, or if a programmable number of disturbances occur during a programmable period of time. In addition, an alarm is sounded if the number of product units detected as being removed at one time exceeds a programmable limit. Finally, if the number of detected product units removed exceeds a programmable number during a programmable period of time, an alarm is sounded. The product display rack presents no physical barriers to product removal and requires no intervention of sales personnel for product removal. Thus, the present invention presents an aesthetically pleasing product rack while providing a high degree of protection against shoplifting or employee theft.
