Patent AU-1232788-A (AU)
Title: Thermodynamic printing method and means
Inventor: KUEHNLE MANFRED R
IPC: G03G15/32
Filed: 1988-02-26
Abstract: In a method of printing on a printing medium (S) a variable thickness ink dot pattern representing an original image in response to an incoming digital data stream, a printing member, e.g. a cylinder (72), is formed which defines a multiplicity of discrete, independently electrically chargable capacitor microcells (94) adjacent to a printing surface of that member. Selected ones of the microcells (94) are activated in accordance with the incoming data stream so that the activated microcells are geometrically related to the dots in the pattern to be printed. Then, electrical charges are deposited on the microcells (94) selected for activation at controlled variable coulombic charge levels to create at the printing surface localized electrical fields of various strengths that are proportional to the print densities desired for the related dots in the pattern to be printed. Following this, the printing surface is contacted by a two-component, voltage sensitive, thermoplastic whereby the ink, under the influence of the fields, is deposited on the printing surface only at the locations of the microcells selected for activation, with the thickness of each ink deposit being proportional to the strength of the field at that microcell, thereby to form a variable-thickness ink pattern on the printing surface. That ink pattern is then transferred completely to the printing medium to provide a faithful hardcopy reproduction of the original image. Apparatus for practicing the method are also disclosed.

Patent AU-1927099-A (AU)
Title: Acoustic emission severance detector and method
Inventor: JULIAN JOHN
IPC: B26D3/26
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: The invention has utility generally for monitoring any part for severance of the part. The invention is specifically useful for monitoring severance of a tension blade in a tension blade grid. For general monitoring of a part, the apparatus has wireless connection between the sensing unit and the control unit. The wireless connection is achieved with a transmit/receive unit using radiofrequency power transfer for electrical power and using infrared transmitters and receivers for signal transfer. For food processing, specifically for a vegetable cutting method employing at least one tension blade in a first tension blade grid through which vegetables are passed for cutting the vegetables wherein the at least one tension blade is severed during the cutting, the invention provides for diverting the vegetables to a second tension blade grid. Diversion is accomplished with an acoustic emission sensor acoustically coupled to the at least one tension blade so that during the vegetable cutting, the acoustic emission sensor detects acoustic energy from tension blade severance. The acoustic energy is converted to an electronic signal that is compared in a microprocessor to a threshold. In a severance condition, an actuator receives an alarm signal from the microprocessor and diverts the vegetables to the second tension blade grid.
Patent AU-1986597-A (AU)
Title: Multi-tool positioning system
Inventor: CUTLER DONALD R
IPC: B23K26/08
Filed: 1997-03-04
Abstract: A multi-rate, multi-head positioner (150) receives and processes unpanelized positioning commands to actuate slow stages (56, 58) and multiple fast stages (154) that are mounted on one of the slow stages to simultaneously position multiple tools (156) relative to target locations (162) on multiple associated workpieces (152). Each of the fast stages is coupled to a fast stage signal processor (172) that provides corrected position data to each fast stage positioner to compensate for fast stage nonlinearities and workpiece placement, offset, rotation, and dimensional variations among the multiple workpieces. When cutting blind via holes in etched circuit boards (ECBs), improved throughput and process yield are achieved by making half of the tools ultraviolet ("UV") lasers, which readily cut conductor and dielectric layers, and making the other half of the tools are infrared ("IR") lasers, which readily cut only dielectric layers. The UV lasers are controlled to cut an upper conductor layer and a portion of an underlying dielectric layer, and the IR lasers are controlled to cut the remaining dielectric layer without cutting through or damaging a second underlying conductor layer. The throughput is increased by cutting conductor layers in unprocessed ECBs while concurrently cutting dielectric layers in ECBs that have already had their conductor layer cut. The process yield is increased by performing a workpiece calibration prior to each cutting step to account for any ECB placement, offset, rotation, and dimensional variations.

Title: Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor receptor
Inventor: FOX GARY M
IPC: C12N5/10
Filed: 1997-04-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), a potent neurotrophin that exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities on a variety of cell types from both the central and peripheral nervous systems. The present invention involves the cloning and characterization of a high affinity receptor for GDNF. This molecule has been named GDNF receptor (GDNFR) since it is the first known component of a receptor system. Nucleic acid and amino acid sequences are described for GDNFR protein products. A hydrophobic domain with the features of a signal peptide is found at the amino terminus, while a second hydrophobic domain at the carboxy terminus is involved in the linkage of the receptor to the cell membrane. The lack of a transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic region indicates that GDNFR requires one or more accessory molecules in order to mediate transmembrane signaling. GDNFR mRNA is widely distributed in both nervous system and non-neural tissues, consistent with the similar distribution found for GDNF.
