Patent AU-4855196-A (AU)
Title: Composite conformable pressure vessel
Inventor: BLAIR MICHAEL D
IPC: F17C1/00
Filed: 1996-01-11
Abstract: A pressure vessel for holding a pressurized fluid such as compressed natural gas (“CNG”) includes two end cells and zero or more interior cells. The cell geometry ensures that the cells meet one another at tangential circular surfaces, thereby reducing the tendency of adjacent cells to peel apart. A web secured about the cells includes two sheets that are tangent to the cells. Unused volumes between the cells and the web contain wedges of foam or rubber. A valve provides fluid communication between the interior of the pressure vessel and a pressurized fluid line. The filled weight of one pressure vessel does not exceed the filled weight of a conventional gasoline tank that occupies substantially the same space as the pressure vessel. The pressure vessel may be configured with exterior recesses for engaging conventional gasoline tank straps.

Patent AU-5009485-A (AU)
Title: Electrically weldable sleeve for joining thermoplastic pipeline parts
IPC: B29C65/34
Filed: 1985-11-20
Abstract: The electrically weldable sleeve has a tubular sleeve member, heating elements arranged on the inner wall of the sleeve member and terminals for an energy supply. A material recess in the form of slots is provided in the edge zone of the boundary area of the heating element. This makes it possible to completely utilize the shrinkage reserve imparted to the sleeve member during the production of the sleeve, so that it is effective up to the solidification of the core of the melting zone. It also completely compensates for the volume contraction of the material linked with the solidification of the melting zone, so that the occurrence of cavities is reliably avoided. Corresponding to the axial flux of force represented by lines, the material recesses must be located at a point, which leads to no weakening of the sleeve member portions decisive for assembly and operation.

Patent AU-5367196-A (AU)
Title: Ultrahigh brightness calcined clay pigment, manufacture and use thereof
Inventor: FORBUS ELLEN S
IPC: C09C1/42
Filed: 1996-03-21
Abstract: A selected kaolin crude or crude fraction is purified by physical or physical/chemical means, such as froth flotation and/or selective flocculation, to remove discrete particles of TiO2 and in some cases, discrete iron minerals. The pure (or purified clay) must then be agitated in the presence of water with a particulate grinding media such as, for example, sand, alumina or zirconia beads, to increase the 2 micron content of the kaolin. An intermediate ground product that contains a substantial weight percentage of particles finer than 1 micron is generated as a result of grinding. The particles finer than 1 micron in the ground kaolin also include those particles in the previously pure or purified kaolin that were present in the naturally occurring clay. A pulp of the ground clay is then fractionated to remove particles larger than 2 microns, e.g., to remove at least 95%, preferably at 100% by weight, of the particles larger than 2 microns, while minimizing the removal of particles finer than 1 micron. The resulting fine particles size fraction is then treated by conventional series of steps, i.e., optional bleaching, drying, pulverization, calcination and repulverization to produce a low abrasion, ultrahigh brightness (typically 96%) calcined kaolin pigment.

Title: Closed loop guide wire system for driverless vehicles
Inventor: SHERMAN LEIGH ERWIN
IPC: G05D1/03
Filed: 1986-02-14
Abstract: In a guidance system for guiding a plurality of unmanned vehicles along a traffic lay out comprising a plurality of guide wires, a guide wire communications system is disclosed which is provided with a plurality of data communications circuits which can be linked together in a logical tree structure to form an extensive network. The communications circuits are connected to a vehicle traffic control computer which is provided with means for composing a coded vehicle instruction for assigning tasks to said unmanned vehicles. Various parts of the system, including for example, segments along guide wires, are designated as resources. The computer uniquely allocates those resources to each vehicle which are necessary for the performance of the tasks assigned to that vehicle. The vehicle traffic control computer further includes polling means which enables it to poll the status of each vehicle at varying time intervals and to receive a response from said vehicle when the computer next polls the vehicle. The guide wire communications system can communicate coded instructions to the vehicles either individually or as a group.   The guide wire communications system further comprises a network connecting the computer and the communications circuits which is provided with means for preventing reception of data transmissions from more than one vehicle at a time. The communications circuits comprise data transmitters provided with means for generating a communications wave with low frequency and low power but high data transmission rate. The data transmitters further includes means for encoding and decoding digital data using at least two data transmission frequencies. Said means comprise a circuit for digitally constructing a string of single cycles of cosine wave forms of selected frequencies. The communications circuits are provided with receivers for detecting cosine wave segments, transforming such segments into sine wave segments and recovering digital data at a rate substantially equal to the lowest data transmission frequency employed. The data communications circuits also include means for selecting low impedence or high impedence characteristics for a guide wire depending on the function of the guide wire as a data receiving antenna, a data transmitting antenna or a tracking-signal carrier, permitting low power signals to be used. The guidewire communications system further includes a communications circuit on each of a plurality of vehicles which comprises a low frequency, high gain transmit antenna composed of a substantially figure-eight pattern of conductors mounted on the bottom of the vehicle; a transmitter and a receiver substantially as described above, memory for storing a plurality of instructions for serial execution by the vehicle essentially independently; and means for determining estimated completion time of assigned tasks to permit minimum polling of each vehicle by the vehicle traffic control computer at varying time intervals.

Patent AU-5808599-A (AU)
Title: System and method for radiographic imaging of tissue
Inventor: SALB JESSE
IPC: A61B6/03
Filed: 1999-08-31
Abstract: System and method for radiographic imaging of tissue using a non-radioactive, radio-opaque imaging agent that accumulates intracellularly in tissue in proportion to its functional, or physiological, activity. In one embodiment, the imaging agent is a cell-membrane permeable, radio-opaque, high affinity ligand for the intracellular enzyme hexokinase. The imaging agent is administered to a patient, and after an accumulation interval, radiographic images are acquired. The imaging agent preferentially accumulates in malignant tissue and increases its radio-opacity because of its elevated glucose metabolic rate relative to benign and normal tissue. The tissue being examined is transilluminated by X-ray beams with preselected different mean energy spectra, and a separate radiographic image is acquired during transillumination by each beam. An image processing system performs a weighted combination of the acquired images to produce a single displayed image. The image processing procedure isolates the radiographic density contributed solely by differential accumulation of the imaging agent in malignant, benign, and normal tissue. The system and method thus provides a functional image displayed with the anatomical detail and spatial resolution of a radiographic image. The viewer may interactively control the relative proportion of radiographic density contributed by imaging agent, soft tissue, and bone to the displayed image, allowing the display of functional and anatomical information in complete registration, and facilitating localization of malignant tissue in relation to nearby anatomical structures. In other embodiments, the system and method may be used to detect enzymes, nucleic acids, coenzymes, fatty acids, and other cellular targets in diagnostic imaging applications.
