Patent AU-690524-B2 (AU)
Title: Method and apparatus for producing metal strip
Inventor: VINCZE ALBERT M
IPC: B22D11/06
Filed: 1993-10-04
Granted: 1998-04-30
Abstract: The strip is cast on a chilled casting surface of a rotating drum from a pool of the molten metal contained in a tundish having a graphite lip insert seated therein cooperating with, the casting surface adjacent to the tundish to form and contain the pool of the molten metal. The tundish preferably contains a feed chamber, a return chamber, and a diverting chamber, the feed chamber and the diverting chamber effectively removing turbulence from the molten feed and the return chamber having a vertically adjustable weir dividing the return chamber from the diverting chamber for controlling the surface level of the pool of molten metal in the diverting chamber and the lip insert and for diverting a flow of molten metal to the return chamber. A preferred lead alloy is a low antimony-lead alloy which is cast into strip and is subjected to a heat treatment to permit expansion and shaping in subsequent production of expanded mesh battery grids. The battery grids produced by the method have improved electrochemical properties such as corrosion resistance and resistance to growth.

Title: Pressure flow system and method for treating a fluid permeable workpiece such as bone
Inventor: SCARBOROUGH NELSON L
IPC: B08B3/02
Filed: 1998-03-11
Granted: 2002-07-11
Abstract: A pressure flow system and method for its use are provided for contacting the interior of a fluid permeable, e.g., porous, workpiece. The system includes a fluid pressure chamber having an inlet port and an opening formed in one of the chamber walls. An adjustable seal capable of providing a fluid-tight seal about the exterior of a workpiece having a non-uniform surface is positioned within the opening. Fluid under pressure is supplied to the pressure chamber to force fluid to flow through the internal matrix of the workpiece. In a preferred embodiment, the workpiece is a bone or a section thereof, and the fluid is forced to flow from the endosteal portion of bone to the periosteal portion of bone through the vasculature and porous structure of the bone to remove blood, bone marrow and/or other non-bone constituent(s) from the bone. Alternatively, the fluid can be chosen to decontaminate and/or demineralize the bone, to stain the bone to improve visualization of the bone microvasculature or to impregnate with pharmacological agents (antibiotics, bone growth factors, etc.) so that bone can act as a delivery system.
Patent AU-541642-B2 (AU)
Title: Group control for elevators
Inventor: SCHRODER JORIS
IPC: B66B1/24
Filed: 1980-12-19
Granted: 1985-01-17
Abstract: With this group control the allocation of elevator cabins or cars to existing storey or floor calls should be timewise optimized and newly arriving storey calls should be immediately allocated. A computer device provided for each elevator computates at each landing or storey, irrespective of whether or not there is present a storey or landing call, from the distance between the storey and the cabin position indicated by a selector, the intermediate cabin stops to be expected within this distance and the momentary cabin load a sum proportional to the time losses of waiting passengers. In this way the cabin load prevailing at the computation time point is corrected such that the expected number of passengers entering and exiting the cabin, derived from the previously ascertained number of entering and exiting passengers, is taken into account for the future intermediate cabin stops. Such loss time sum, also referred to as the servicing cost, is stored in a cost storage or memory provided for each elevator and infed to a comparator. During a cost comparison cycle the servicing costs of all elevators are compared with one another, and in an allocation storage of the elevator with the lowest servicing cost there can be stored an allocation instruction which designates that storey or floor to which there can be optimumly allocated the relevant elevator cabin.

Title: Flexible, tactile sensor for measuring foot pressure distributions and for gaskets
Inventor: PODOLOFF ROBERT M
IPC: G01L1/20
Filed: 1990-12-11
Granted: 1992-05-14
Abstract: A force and pressure sensor is provided having two sets of parallel electrodes which are positioned facing one another and arranged so that electrodes of one set cross the electrodes of the second set at an angle to create a plurality of electrode intersections. Pressure-sensitive resistive material lies between the electrodes at each intersection. An adhesive layer is applied to at least one of the electrode sets in areas between electrode intersections to secure the first and second electrode sets in facing relationship, the adhesive layer preferably being applied in a pattern which provides passages where the adhesive layer does not exist to allow air to escape from interior areas of the electrode set. The thickness of the adhesive layer may be adjusted to permit preloading or to provide a threshold level for the sensor. In order to permit electrodes of the electrode set to be trimmed around their periphery, electrical contact to each electrode of the electrode sets is made intermediate the ends of the electrodes. This is accomplished by providing an insulating layer over the rear of each electrode set having holes therein at the desired intersection points and having a plurality of connecting conductors on the back of the insulating sheet, one for each electrode, which make contact with the corresponding electrode through the hole in the insulating sheet.

Title: Cable coupling for automatic railway wagon - has divided electric contacts on firm contact carriers and paired switch contact pins
IPC: B61G5/10
Filed: 1969-05-21
Abstract: The cable coupling for automatic simultaneous coupling of electric leads on railway wagons has firm contact carriers fitted with plug socket elements dividing the contacts into pairs of branch contacts on each side of the coupling halves. The switch contacts have paired switch pins each displaceable in one of the movable contacts and closing the contact to the outside when uncoupled. Only one pin from each pair is insertable when one half is coupled, into the allotted branch contact, the other being pushed into the relevant contact of the other half.
