Patent AU-3445184-A (AU)
Title: One-piece sealing closure
Inventor: BROWNBILL THOMAS DUNCAN
IPC: B65D41/04
Filed: 1984-10-18
Abstract: A one-piece plastics closure for a carbonated beverage bottle has a sealing ring (17) pivotally attached at the junction between its closure panel (10) and dependent skirt (11). The sealing ring is forked, having two annular and mutually divergent fins 20, 21. The upper fin (20) is engaged by the free end of the container neck as the closure is fitted, and by pivotal movement of the sealing ring brings the lower fin (21) into sealing relation with the side surface of the container finish. The resilience of the closure material and the substantial deformation to which the sealing ring is subject thereafter maintain the effectiveness of the seal despite creep and backing-off of the closure which may occur.

Title: Trans-xanthophyll ester concentrates of enhanced purity and methods of making same
Inventor: LEVY LUIS W
IPC: A23L1/275
Filed: 1999-04-14
Abstract: Trans-xanthophyll ester concentrates having a trans-xanthophyll ester content of at least four times greater and preferably at least nine times greater than the cis-xanthophyll ester content are obtained. Xanthophyll ester concentrates having a total xanthophyll ester content of at least 40 wt. % and preferably greater than about 55 wt. % are also obtained. A method of obtaining a trans-xanthophyll ester concentrate of high purity includes contacting plant material containing xanthophyll esters with a hydrocarbon solvent for a time sufficient to extract xanthophyll esters from the plant material, separating the hydrocarbon solvent and extract dissolved therein from the remaining plant material, evaporating the hydrocarbon solvent from the dissolved extract to obtain a crude xanthophyll ester concentrate, admixing the crude xanthophyll ester concentrate with an alcohol at approximately ambient temperature to dissolve non-xanthophyll impurities and cis-xanthophyll esters from the concentrate and removing the alcohol containing impurities and cis-xanthophyll esters from the crude trans-xanthophyll concentrate to obtain a purified trans-xanthophyll ester concentrate. By using only the corollas of marigold flowers, lutein ester concentrates of high purity are obtained with pesticide residues absent from the concentrate at parts per billion detection levels.

Title: Method and apparatus for improving the quality of speech signals transmitted over wireless communication facilities
Inventor: HOFFBECK JOSEPH P
IPC: H04W52/18
Filed: 1999-08-26
Abstract: It has been recognized that in a wireless communication system certain frames of encoded speech data transmitted between a base station and a mobile unit, or between a mobile unit and a base station, are more critical than others. A frame may be determined to be erased by the receiving base station or mobile unit due to noise or interference over the wireless transmission medium. If an erased frame cannot be recreated from one or more preceding frames, then it is more critical than a frame that can be recreated by an extrapolation of data from one or more preceding frames. Accordingly, on a frame-by-frame basis, each frame in a sequence of frames is identified as being critical or non-critical. Each frame that is identified as being critical is then transmitted in a manner that is more robust than the manner in which non-critical frames are transmitted to decrease the likelihood that a receiver will determine that the frame is erased. In a CDMA system, a current frame is identified as being critical by forming a weighted sum of the differences between corresponding frame parameters that represent the current frame and frame parameters that represent a previous frame. That weighted sum is compared with a threshold. If the weighted sum exceeds the threshold, then the current frame is classified as being a critical frame and is transmitted at a higher output level than non-critical frames are transmitted. <IMAGE>

Title: A hard gasified sweet (candy) with a spherical shape or any other regular or irregular shape, incorporating or not incorporating a stick and the process for its preparation
Inventor: ORESTE FABBRO
IPC: A23G3/00
Filed: 1985-08-15
Abstract: The gasified sweet with a spherical shape or any other regular or irregular shape, incorporating or not incorporating a stick of plastic or other suitable material, and producing small popping noises resembling the bursting of the bubbles in gasified drinks, is obtained continuously and automatically by means of machines for the formation of the caramel stick, for calibration and stamping-out, optionally with introduction of the stick, and for cooling, which are subjected to pressurisation at certain pressures greater than atmospheric pressure, and preferably between 10.1525 and 81.06 bar. The successive stages of the process take place continuously inside pressurised containers, from the instant when the molten and gasified caramel mass is present in the initial container until the instant when the gasified sweet with a stick is completely crystallised, its internal temperature being below 30<o>C. Due to the fact that the occluded gas ruptures the protective film when the hard sweet is consumed, the latter produces, in a uniform and continuous fashion, a hissing resembling the popping noises produced by the bursting of the bubbles in refreshing, gasified drinks, without producing strong cracks which would break the piece of confection attached or not attached to the stick.
