Patent AU-3564593-A (AU)
Title: Friction welder and orbital drive motor therefor
IPC: H02K41/06
Filed: 1993-03-31
Abstract: An electromagnetically actuated friction welder produces orbital motion at interfaces between parts (usually of thermoplastic material) to bond the parts by fusion generated by friction. This welder can also be operated alternatively to produce reciprocating vibratory forces thereby providing flexibility as to the selection of an orbital or reciprocating mode, depending upon the joint to be welded. The velocity of motion is controllable preferably around the resonant frequency of the driven structure by adjusting the frequency of the AC power which operates the electromagnetic drive motor of the welder. A plate which carries one of the parts to be welded and which is driven is flexurally mounted for movement in an orbital plane or planes containing the interfaces without substantial tilting by an array of stiff members, such as rods, located around the drive motor, attached to the plate at one end and to a tubular structure at the opposite ends thereof. The tubular structure is desirably attached to a massive support carried by the frame of the welder.

Title: System for electrochemical quantitative analysis of analytes within a solid phase
Inventor: LU FANG
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 2000-05-05
Abstract: System, method, and test strip for solid phase, electrochemical, quantitative analysis of analytes contained in biological fluid samples. Preliminary to analysis, a test sample solution can be applied to a sample collection pad associated with the solid phase test environment of the test strip. The test sample solution and a test kit reagent are thereby initially contacted, under assay conditions, within this solid phase test environment, and caused to migrate along a fluid pathway therein. Irrespective of the assay format (competitive assay, sandwich assay, etc.), a test kit reagent (e.g. labeled substance) and the analyte of interest (e.g. proteins, hormones or enzymes, small molecules, polysaccharides, antibodies, nucleic acids, drugs, toxins, viruses or virus particles, portions of a cell wall and other compounds which have specific or characteristic markers that permit their identification), either interact with one another to form a complex, or, alternatively, compete with one another for interaction with another test kit reagent, resulting in the concentration of an indicator substance within a delimited area of the solid phase. Thereafter, the delimited area of the test strip is subjected to electrochemical analysis and the results determined by monitoring an electrochemical transition in the form of an indicator, or derivative of the indicator (e.g. indicator species), by potentiostatic or potentiometric quantitative analysis (e.g. anodic stripping voltammetry). This electrochemical transition of the indicator has a characteristic electrical fingerprint that can be measured and which, when compared to a standard, can be correlated with the concentration of the analyte in the sample. This method is suitable for the determination/monitoring of therapeutic range of drugs (anti-convulsants drugs), determination of critical and potentially dangerous levels of endogenous materials which are indicative of disease states (prostate cancer), and numerous other applications presently requiring elaborate and time-consuming clinical laboratory analysis.

Patent AU-5329500-A (AU)
Title: Narrowband based navigation scheme
Inventor: DVORAK MARK D
IPC: G01S5/12
Filed: 2000-06-08
Abstract: Multiple pulses of narrow band signals of varying frequency are detected by multiple spaced apart receivers such that average time difference of arrivals of the signals from an item to be located are determined. The average time differences are used to calculate a position of the item to be located with a desired accuracy, such as within one meter in one embodiment. One of multiple receivers or rangers initiates a location process by transmitting a sync pulse. The sync pulse is received by a scout and other rangers. The scout is a small robot which acts as a transponder, sending out its own narrow band return pulse in response to the sync pulse. Each ranger then determines a difference in time between the sync pulse it receives and the return pulse generated by the scout. The location process is then repeated again at different selected narrow band frequencies, and an average of the difference in time at each ranger is determined. Each ranger is networked together via a standard wireless network, and also obtains position information via standard GPS methods. An iterative calculation of the location of the scout is used to improve an estimated position solution. Time difference of arrival between two rangers is expressed as an equation with three unknown variables, x, y and z, which define a position of the scout in three dimensional space. The locus of a point that satisfies this equation is hyperbolic. The iterative calculation uses a least squares approach to improve the estimated position to within a required tolerance.
Patent AU-5383599-A (AU)
Title: Inflation device
Inventor: PERRINS JOHN
IPC: B63C9/19
Filed: 1999-09-06
Abstract: An inflation device (5) for an inflatable article (such a life jacket), includes a housing (8) for holding a container of pressurised fluid (6), a displacement means (12) including a piercing means (15) displaceable so as to penetrate the container (6) and allow the release of said pressurised fluid, and actuation means (23, 27, 28, 29) having engaging co-operating elements (17, 25) which engage to retain the displacement means (12) in an unactuated configuration. The actuation means (23, 27, 28, 29) release the displacement means (12) both through the presence of water or by manual operation. The co-operating elements (17, 25) are substantially radially arranged. The line along which the displacement means (12) acts may be coaxial with the radii of the co-operating elements (17, 25). One of the co-operating elements (17) is capable of inward radial movement, and the actuation means (27, 28, 29) operates to prevent that co-operating element's (17) radially inward movement. Similarly, one of the co-operating elements (25) is capable of outward radial movement, and also prevented by the actuating means (23). When the actuation moms (23, 27, 28, 29) is triggered (by water or by the manual release), the movement of one of the co-operating elements (17, 25) causes the displacement means (12, 15) to pierce the container.
