Patent AU-2139802-A (AU)
Title: Gravity gradiometry
Inventor: ETKIN BERNARD
IPC: G01V1/00
Filed: 2001-11-27
Abstract: A gravity gradiometer is combined with a two-stage actively controlled isolation system. The gravity gradiometer and two stage isolation system may then be mounted within (or on) a mobile vehicle such as, for example, an aircraft. It has been recognized by the inventors herein that the accelerations imparted to an aircraft during normal operations can be separated through system design into two relatively distinct regimes within the frequency domain. The invention provides a first isolation mount, which forms part of the isolation system, to isolate accelerations (and resulting translations) falling within a first of the two frequency regimes. The second isolation mount, which is mounted to the first isolation mount, isolates accelerations falling within the second of the two frequency regimes. A gravity gradiometer can then be mounted to the second isolation mount. As a result of housing the gravity gradiometer within the nested isolation system (a combination of the first and second isolation mounts), the gravity gradiometer is substantially isolated from the accelerations experienced by the mobile vehicle. Consequently, gravity gradients measured by the gravity gradiometer are relatively noise free and provide heretofore-unobtainable accuracy.

Title: Method and apparatus for merging video data signals from multiple sources and multimedia system incorporating same
Inventor: WAKELAND CARL K
IPC: H04N5/272
Filed: 1992-06-30
Abstract: A method for merging first and second digital video signals generated by first and second video controllers, respectively, for merged transmission to a digital video decoder. The first video controller transmits the first digital video signal to the decoder while monitoring the signal to detect a luminance component which designates the boundary between a first image constructable from the first video signal and a second image constructable from the second video signal. When the luminance component is detected, a colorkey signal is generated by the first video controller and transmitted to the second video controller to initiate transmission of the second digital video signal to the decoder in place of the first digital video signal. The first video controller continues to monitor the first video signal until the absence of the luminance component is detected. The first video controller then transmits a second colorkey signal to the second video controller to terminate the second digital video signal and transmission of the first digital video signal to the decoder recommences.

Title: Battery-powered door lock assembly and method
Inventor: CORDER THOMAS F
IPC: E05B47/00
Filed: 1988-08-05
Abstract: A lock assembly (21) including a movable bolt (28), a movable handle (23) coupled to move the bolt (28) to an open position and a locking assembly (29) mounted for movement between a locked position securing the bolt (28) against movement and an unlocked position releasing the bolt (28) is disclosed. The locking assembly (29) moves in response to movement of the handle (23) and is normally supported in an unlocked position. Movement of the lock assembly (29) by the handle (23) results in moving to a locked position prior to movement of the bolt (28) to an opened position. An electromagnet (31) responsive to an input signal is provided to hold the locking means (29) in the unlocked position and to prevent movement of the locking means (29) to the locked position upon movement of the handle (23). This holding of the locking assembly (29) in the unlocked position permits opening of the bolt (28). Any movement without energization of the solenoid (37, 38) produces immediate locking of the bolt (28) by locking assembly (29), while movement after energization of the electromagnet (31) holds the locking assembly (29) in an unlocked position.

Patent AU-2793201-A (AU)
Title: Electronic locking system
Inventor: DAVIS PAUL
IPC: E05B17/20
Filed: 2001-01-17
Abstract: An electronic locking system comprises a cylinder housed within and rotatable with respect to a shell. A key has a power supply. At least one of the key and the cylinder is capable of generating a signal when the key is electrically connected with the cylinder. An electrically powered locking mechanism is housed within the cylinder and includes a lock member moveable between an open position and a locked position. The lock member in the locked position interferes with movement of the cylinder. A power source is connected to the locking mechanism in response to the signal. The locking mechanism allows movement of the lock member from the locked position to the open position in response to the signal so that the cylinder may be rotated within the shell. The cylinder further includes an interfering member that resists movement of the locking member. In addition, a biasing mechanism urges the cylinder toward a home position when the cylinder is rotated away from the home position.

Title: Automatic electric connection device for the rapid and fugitive connection of electronic circuits
Inventor: ALAIN BIGGIO
IPC: H01R4/24
Filed: 1984-09-18
Abstract: A device for the automatic and momentary electrical connection of the wires of a cable with the circuit of a memory. A sensor connects each wire of the cable with a telescopic tip and an electronic chip which connects the telescopic tips to a memory. As a button provided on the cover of the sensor is depressed, the telescopic tips pierce through a protecting film on the face of the electronic chip and provide electrical contact between the cable and the memory. The sensor and electronic chip each have a bevel gear, the teeth of which position the sensor relative to the electronic chip so that each engages an electrical contact on the surface of the electronic chip. An electronic circuit connected with the cable senses the angular position of each of the telescopic tips with reference to the electrical contacts. This device provides a momentary electrical contact with the electronic chip to read a memory or store data therein.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU95/00585 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 29, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 29, 1996 PCT Filed Sep. 8, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/07363 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 14, 1996A scalpel blade remover removes a blade from the tang of a scalpel. The scalpel is inserted in, and withdrawn from, the blade remover along the same substantially straight-line path. The blade remover has a rocker block which pivots about an axis transverse to the insertion path. When the scalpel is inserted into the blade remover, its tang pushes against a contact surface of the rocker block, causing the rocker block to pivot. A pair of legs at the other end of the rocker block apply a transverse force to the heel of the blade on either side of the tang, thereby lifting the heel of the blade off the tang. When the scalpel has been inserted far enough, a pawl drops behind the heel of the blade. The pawl strips the blade from the tang when the scalpel handle is removed. The blade remover is typically mounted in the lid of a sharps container.
