Title: Irrigation conduit with centre located swivel union
Inventor: EASTON GEOFFREY JAMES
IPC: F16L27/087
Filed: 2000-03-02
Abstract: The connection member is to be used with a movable land irrigation line, such as a sprinkler system for a paddock, comprises of a finite length conduit (1) with a plurality of spaced holes or irrigation nodes (2). The conduit (1) is connected to a water supply (3) via this connection member (4). Therefore, the connection member has a first end to connect to the water supply, and a second end connecting in fluid communication to the conduit (1). The first and second ends are rotatable relative to each other about a pivot axis. This relative rotation is aided by stops that prevent the conduit (1) from being in parallel with the connection member (4). This is because such an arrangement could cause unwanted bending and restriction to the connection line (4).

Title: A broadband indoor communication system using ofdm
Inventor: RICHARDSON DEREK BERNARD
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2000-08-25
Abstract: An orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) broadband wireless network communication system includes transmitters and receivers.  Each transmitter includes a data signal source 101, a transmit modulator 102 that arranges the data into data packets and appends a pilot symbol of a repeated pseudo random binary sequence to the start of each data packet.  The serial data packets are converted to parallel format by a multiplexer 3 and the parallel data is Fourier transformed 5 from the frequency to the time domain, filtered 7 and converted 8 to an analogue data format then transmitted at high frequency by the RF module 9.  At each receiver the transmitted signals are demodulated 9, converted 11 to digital data and filtered 12 and down-sampled 14 to condition the data signal for detection. The packet detector and frame timing block 16 search for significant pilot signal correlations in the received data and the frame timing block receives an estimate of the time varying frequency error from the packet detect block and makes initial estimates of the signal parameters, namely the time varying phase and frequency error estimates, which are used in the phase lock loop 17 for the removal of estimated phase and frequency offsets from the low pass signal.  Within a second stage receiver the data output from the phase look loop 17 is transformed 18 from the time to the frequency domain, the estimated sub-sample timing errors are removed 19 from the Fourier transformed data stream, and to which allowable data point each bit in the transformed data is assigned is decided 20 to produce noise free data which is converted 22 from parallel to serial data and decoded 23.  The noise free data and the Fourier transformed data are used at 21 to update the estimate of the signal parameters.

Title: Method of determining physical properties of wood
Inventor: YANCEY MICHAEL JAMES
IPC: G01N29/04
Filed: 2004-05-14
Abstract: A method is described for determining a physical property of a log or similar wood member. A small amount of a liquid or solid is projected against the end of the log with sufficient energy to induce a stress wave. Water is a preferred liquid and an ice pellet is the preferred solid material. A water pulse of about 40 g or less shot from a distance of about 1.2 m with about 9-10,000 kPa pressure will induce a useful shock wave. Similarly an ice pellet weighing 5-10 g shot from the same distance at about 400- 500 kPa has given excellent results. The travel lime of the stress wave may be measured by an accelerometer in contact with the log. Alternatively, a laser Doppler vibrometer aimed at the log end can record the travel time. The use of the method obviates the need for a mechanical hammer striking the log as well as the requirement for the logs to be even ended at the test location.
