Patent AU-665584-B2 (AU)
Title: Electrosurgical cutting tool
Inventor: NARDELLA PAUL C
IPC: A61B18/00
Filed: 1992-10-14
Granted: 1996-01-11
Abstract: An electrosurgical tool (10) comprises a retractable cutting blade (34) movable along a linear cutting path and an electrical energy supply source (26) which communicates electrical energy (e.g. radio frequency energy) through the cutting blade (34) and to tissue adjacent the cutting blade. During surgical procedures the electrosurgical cutting device (10) is able to simultaneously cut tissue and cauterize, or fuse, the tissue in areas adjacent the incision through the application of electrical energy. The effect is a reduced amount of bleeding associated with surgical procedures and an enhanced ability to control and eliminate bleeding. Optionally, the electrosurgical cutting device (10) may also include a supply of surgical staples (38) which are deployed simultaneously with the cutting action and delivery of electrosurgical energy to adjacent tissue.

Title: Drying pipelines by vacuum
Inventor: STEINHAUS HAROLD
IPC: F17D1/04
Filed: 1984-05-31
Granted: 1987-04-02
Abstract: During the drying of long-distance pipelines, in a development of vacuum drying-possibly in combination with compressed-air drying, go-devils and/or alcohol drying-a flooding is provided which precludes the recondensation of the water in the residual water vapor. For this purpose a movement of drawn-off water vapor and following scavenging gas in the same direction is ensured and the scavenging gas is throttled in its input of travelling speed so that no condensation occurs even in the boundary region to the departing water vapor.

Title: An open center hydraulic system
Inventor: MILLER JAMES ANTON
IPC: F15B11/16
Filed: 1984-07-25
Granted: 1987-03-19
Abstract: An open center hydraulic system is disclosed which contains a primary work circuit and a secondary work circuit. A fixed displacement pump is fluidly connected between a reservoir and the primary and secondary work circuits for supplying pressurized fluid thereto. The primary work circuit includes a control valve which regulates fluid flow from the pump to a primary hydraulic function and which includes a feedback mechanism connected thereto. The secondary work circuit also includes a manually operable control valve for regulating fluid flow from the pump to a secondary hydraulic function. A priority valve is connected between the pump and the secondary work circuit and is movable between an open and a closed position to regulate the pressure of fluid discharged by the pump. Pressurized fluid from the primary work circuit is conveyed through a load signal line to the priority valve such that the pressurized fluid will urge the priority valve towards the closed position thereby assuring that adequate fluid pressure is available from the pump to the primary work circuit. The system also includes a control valve for sensing pressure variations between the fluid discharged from the pump and fluid present in the load signal line. This valve controls fluid flow out of the primary hydraulic function, via the load signal line, when the pressure of the fluid discharged by the pump is less than the pressure of the fluid in the load signal line and thereby essentially eliminates kickback from the primary control valve.

Title: Preventing tissue adhesion using (in situ) modification of alginate
Inventor: ABERMAN HAROLD M
IPC: A61L31/04
Filed: 1993-04-02
Granted: 1996-08-15
Abstract: A method of modifying salts of alginic acid in situ for prevention and treatment of various intra-articular and extra-articular (spine) complications modifies the alginate in situ to an insoluble gel. This in situ modification provides a final product which can be compressed within the intra-articular space thus remaining localized. The modified material can have varied mechanical strengths and thus varied degradation times and can serve as a matrix for localizing and slowly releasing therapeutic agents. The modified material is biocompatible and biodegradable, thus requiring no reoperation for removal.

Filed: 1999-07-15
Granted: 2003-01-30
Abstract: A method and system are described for defining a user's access to one or more features of an application. One or more "attributes" are assigned to users of a computer system and stored in a data table. Each attribute has a name which designates the feature to which access is being defined, (e.g, the ability to access data within the database), and a value defining the limits of access. Attributes may be assigned in groups to eliminate the burden of preparing attribute assignments one by one for each user. When an application is run, the attributes are retrieved and enforced such that the user's access to the features of the application is defined in accordance with the retrieved attributes.

Arranged in the conduit is a holding valve which, when the conduit is connected to the tank, maintains a minimum pressure in the conduit branch leading to the machine unit. A pressure sensor arranged in this conduit branch determines the actual value of the conduit pressure. If this decreases with respect to the minimum pressure predetermined by the opening pressure of the holding valve, which is determined by a comparison device, this is an indication that the conduit section has a leak, if only a small one.
