Patent AU-1619799-A (AU)
Title: Avalanche life-preserving jacket with airbag
Inventor: VISOCEKAS ARIEL R
IPC: A62B33/00
Filed: 1998-12-02
Abstract: An avalanche life jacket having an airbag inflatable by a gas release system upon actuation is disclosed. The life jacket provides a torso strap and buckles for attaching the life jacket to the user. Prior to inflation, the airbag is folded and enclosed within the harness. The harness encloses the airbag via an enclosure mechanism which opens during inflation of the airbag to allow the airbag to fully expand. The life jacket further comprises a gas release system which may be automatically actuated by an accelerometer and/or manually actuated by the user's pulling of a release handle. Upon actuation, the gas release system releases gas into and inflates the airbag. The airbag inflates to surround at least the back and sides of the user's head to thereby provide physical protection and a thermal buffer between a portion of the user and the external environment, for example, during and after an avalanche and to facilitate search and rescue of the user after the avanlache. The inflated airbag also provides a buoyant force against the downward force exerted by the current of the avalanche as well as a supply of breathable gas. A hood or mesh is also included to shield the user from the external elements such as snow and thereby facilitate in preventing injury and/or suffocation during a fall or an avalanche.

Title: Endoscopic ligating instrument
Inventor: AHMED MUNIR
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 1995-01-31
Abstract: An endoscopic instrument for ligating multiple lesions within a hollow body organ. A flexible endoscope 10 is provided with channels 16-21 for accomodating means for illumination, viewing and application of suction and is also provided with a hollow tubular member 101 affixed to the insertion end of the endoscope. A plurality of cords 103 are laid over the tube 101 to extend longitudinally thereon and be folded over the distal end of the tube. The cords 103 are connected to one another at a common point by a connector 106 inside the tube 101.

Title: Device for making decisions by estimating the viterbi algorithm in a mobile radio system
Inventor: MOUROT CHRISTOPHE
IPC: H04L1/20
Filed: 1995-05-16
Abstract: The device includes a number of terminals, with each terminal including a unit (14) for reception of information signals. The units use the Viterbi algorithm to equalise or decode the received signals after demodulation. An arrangement (18) calculates the manner and type of transmission of each branch of the Viterbi algorithm. Another arrangement (20) determines the quality level of a transmission parameter according to the result from the first arrangement (18). A comparator (24) compares the estimated level of quality to a required quality level for each parameter. A decision signal is generated according to the result of the comparison and supplied to a decision device (26). The decision device can modify one or more of the transmission characteristics in response to the decision signal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/SE89/00029 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 24, 1990 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 24, 1990 PCT Filed Jan. 27, 1989 PCT Pub. No. WO89/07227 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 10, 1989.A method and apparatus for enabling refrigerants, preferably freons, to be emptied from refrigeration systems or heat pump systems with the aid of piston compressor pumps when repairing or scrapping such systems. The compressor suction line is connected to one chamber of a heat exchanger and a pressure reduction valve is connected in the suction line upstream of the heat exchanger. The pressure line extending from the compressor passes to an oil separator and then to the other chamber of the heat exchanger. The fall in pressure in the reduction valve and heating of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger causes the refrigerant to be in a gaseous state when reaching the compressor, which is a prerequisite for safe operation of the compressor. The pressure increase achieved in the compressor pump and cooling of the refrigerant in the heat exchanger enables the refrigerant to be delivered to a container, preferably in a liquid state.

Patent AU-3360984-A (AU)
Title: Bending glass sheets
IPC: C03B35/14
Filed: 1984-09-26
Abstract: @ An apparatus disclosed for use in bending heated sheets of glass transported generally horizontally on a conveyor within a furnace heating chamber includes a holder and a counter-balanced bending member, both of which are located above the conveyor in a spaced relationship such that a heated sheet of glass can be transported under the holder. The holder includes a curved, downwardly facing surface with spaced openings in which vacuum is drawn to receive the glass sheet from the conveyor. Gas, such as air, is blown upwardly from below the conveyor against the heated sheet of glass such that the sheet is moved upwardly and into engagement with the curved surface of the holder. The bending member then moves downwardly below the holder surface and thereafter upwardly against the heated sheet of glass to provide bending thereof to the curved shape of the holder surface. The bending member then moves back to its home position above the holder surface. A carrier mold ring moves under the supported glass and the vacuum is then terminated so the glass drops onto the ring and bends under the bias of gravity in a manner that allows the glass to be further bent. Subsequently, the mold ring is moved from the furnace to a quench unit that tempers the glass.

Title: Container bag
Inventor: FUTERMAN CHARLES SYDNEY
IPC: B65D88/16
Filed: 1989-05-11
Abstract: A method of making an intermediate bulk container having zones (12) for the attachment of lifting loops (20) from a fabric (10) having eight such zones with lifting loops attached to the zones comprises attaching the opposite selvedges (14, 16) of the fabric together and then attaching the base (26) to complete the bag. The zones (12) are arranged in four pairs with a zone (12a) of one of the pairs being adjacent to one of the fabric selvedges (14). The side seam (24) of the bag so made is thus spaced from its adjacent corner. This means that all four lifting loops can be attached to the fabric while it is still in the flat state since no lifting loop has to cross the seam in the finished IBC> This form of construction lends itself to automatic stitching processes and radically increases speed of production.

Inventor: PROUD NICHOLAS WILLIAM
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 1989-05-31
Abstract: A method and apparatus for installing optical fibres (11) in tubes or ducts (29). An optical fibre is fed from a reel (13) into a small diameter feed portion of duct (25), and compressed air is introduced into the duct. This advances the fibre, using viscous drag forces, into a main duct of larger diameter. There is a pressure drop at the intersection of the two ducts. Subsequently, the advancement of the fibre is continued by maintaining the air supply, and the viscous drag forces, acting on the increasing length of the fibre in the duct, advance it along the duct. Two or more fibres, which may be unsheathed primary coated fibres, may be installed simultaneously.
