Patent AU-3736993-A (AU)
Title: Sprayable refractory composition
Inventor: RUMPELTIN CHARLES R
IPC: B22D11/10
Filed: 1993-03-03
Abstract: The present invention discloses an alkali oxide free low density refractory material especially adapted for use as a disposable liner material for molten metal containing vessels. This material includes about 0.1 to about 2 weight percent of a stiffening agent, about 0.1 to about 2 weight percent of a set retarding agent, about 0.1 to 6 weight percent of density reducing materials, about 0.1 to about 5 weight percent of a plasticizer, up to about 2 weight percent of a secondary binder, and the balance of a refractory aggregate which is preferably MgO. The stiffening agent and set retarding agent are used in substantially the same amounts to provide the disclosed refractory material with increased resistance to slumping while, at the same time, allowing spraying apparatus residence times of up to 30-40 minutes without clogging. The composition includes less than about 0.1 weight percent of alkali oxides, so that reaction and fusion of the disposable liner with a permanent liner is avoided thereby allowing increased ease in mechanical removal of the disposable liner. Also, the invention relates to methods for applying the disposable lining by spraying and an apparatus for holding molten metal which includes a steel shell, a relatively permanent refractory lining disposed therein and a disposable lining disposed upon at least a portion of the permanent refractory lining.

Patent AU-3836693-A (AU)
Title: Stirling engine with heat exchanger
Inventor: WEBER ECKHART
IPC: F02G1/057
Filed: 1993-05-03
Abstract: A Stirling engine in which a displacer plate 5 can be moved backwards and forwards between two housing plates 1, 2, the said displacer plate being without sliding friction relative to the ends 10 of the housing along the circumference, is known. It is desirable here for the Stirling engine to be designed for larger output ranges with a reduced outlay on construction by making the housing plates and the displacer plate as large as possible, taking into consideration the resistance to pressure of the housing. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that the two housing plates 1, 2 are held at a distance from one another by struts 3 arranged in a distributed manner, the struts extending at right angles to the displacer plate 5 and passing through the latter, and by virtue of the fact that the displacer plate 5 is guided along its end edges relative to the ends 10 of the housing by linear rolling diaphragms 9. The housing plates are reinforced over the surface area by the struts and the displacer plate is guided exactly parallel with regard to the struts by the rolling diaphragms. <IMAGE>

Title: Double layer dynamic prosthesis for surgical treatment of the inguinal hernia
Inventor: VALENTI GABRIELE
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 1995-11-07
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/IT95/00179 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 8, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 8, 1996 PCT Filed Nov. 7, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/14805 PCT Pub. Date May 23, 1996The present invention relates to a double layer prothesis that is applied to every patient suffering from inguinal hernia. The two lower and upper layers of this dynamic prosthesis can move independently one from the other, since each of said two layers is fixed only on a side facing the side of the other layer. All this avoids, during muscular movements, (deambulation, cough efforts and so on), the formation of some traction and/or torsion points, frequently responsible for immediate post-operative and/or long term troubles and pains. The lower layer creates a new internal inguinal orifice and exercises a "sling" action on the spermatic cord. Said cord takes a "S" shape crossing the double prosthetic layer. The combination of the "sling" with the "S" shape of the cord prevents relapsing external oblique hernias.

Title: Meter and method for in situ measurement of the electro- magnetic properties of various process materials using cutoff frequency characterization and analysis
Inventor: JEAN BUFORD RANDALL
IPC: G01R27/26
Filed: 1993-04-21
Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for the measurement of, for example, the moisture in a material or, more generally, for the measurement of any material parameter which may be inferred by measuring the electromagnetic properties of the material under investigation. The electromagnetic properties of use in the present invention are complex electrical permittivity or the magnetic permeability of the material. The meter apparatus of the present invention comprises a controllable source of electromagnetic energy having stable selectable frequency. The controllable source of electromagnetic energy is coupled to a material measurement chamber by means of probes, loops, antennas, apertures or other structures so as to establish an electromagnetic wave inside the measurement chamber thereby causing the wave to interact with the material contained in the chamber. Its preferred structure comprises coupling of microwave energy from a coaxial transmission line to the measurement chamber over a multi-octave bandwidth via an intermediate microstrip to slotline coupling circuit.

Title: Indwelling ureteral stent placement apparatus
IPC: A61F2/94
Filed: 1989-10-17
Abstract: An indwelling ureteral stent positioning apparatus (10) is provided for allowing single intrusion placement of a stent (20) in the ureter of a patient. The apparatus is pre-assembled and includes a wire guide (12) with floppy tip (14). The stent (20) is positioned about the wire guide (12) adjacent to the floppy tip (14) of the wire guide (12), and is adjustably situated on the wire guide (12) to expose a pre-determined length of the floppy tip (14) for insertion into the patient. The stent (20) is a dual open-ended tubular stent having a resilient retentive curved circular or pigtail shape at each end for retention in the kidney and bladder. A positioner (25) is conveyed on the wire stent until the end of the positioner abuts the anatomically distal end (24) of the stent (20). A pin-vise clamp (30) abuts the external end of the positioner (25) and releasably engages the wire guide (12) to stabilize the apparatus (10) during insertion. When used to position the stent (20) within the ureter, the apparatus (10) is conveyed along the ureter until the floppy tip (14) is within the renal collecting system. The positioner (25) is advanced along the wire guide (12) to push the anatomically proximal end (23) of the stent (20) over and beyond the floppy tip (14) so that the retentive coil forms within the kidney. The pin-vise clamp (30) is released to allow the wire guide (12) to be withdrawn until it passes the anatomically distal end (24) of the stent (20), wherein the retentive coil shape is formed within the bladder. With the stent fully indwelling, the positioner (25) and wire guide (12) are removed from the patient. <IMAGE>

Title: Surgical clip
Inventor: MONASSEVITCH LEONID
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 1997-10-07
Abstract: This invention is a surgical clip (10) including three lengths of wire integrally formed of a shape memory alloy, two of which (12, 22) each form closed geometrical shapes similar in configuration and magnitude to each other, and the third (18) connects the first two. When at a first temperature or higher, the first and second lengths of wire (12, 22) are positioned in a side by side closed position. The shape memory alloy is in an elastic sate. When at a second temperature or lower, below the first temperature, the shape memory alloy is in a plastic state, thereby enabling the first and second lengths of wire (12, 22) to be moved into and to retain a spaced apart position. Upon heating of the clip to a temperature at least equal to the first temperature, the first and second lengths of wire return to the side by side closed position, thereby to apply a compressive force to tissue located therebetween; and a method of anastomosing a gastrointestinal tract with such a surgical clip (10).
