Patent AU-682230-B2 (AU)
Title: A gypsum/cellulosic fiber acoustical tile composition
Inventor: BAIG MIRZA A
IPC: B32B23/02
Filed: 1995-01-06
Granted: 1997-09-25
Abstract: An acoustical tile composition based on a gypsum/cellulosic fiber composition which can replace all or a portion of the mineral wool normally present in acoustical ceiling tiles. The gypsum/cellulosic fiber composition is combined with a lightweight aggregate material and a binder to form a composition which is used in a water-felting process to manufacture acoustical ceiling tiles and panels. The preferred source of the cellulosic fiber is a composite gypsum/cellulose fiber material which is prepared by mixing the gypsum and cellulosic fiber material with sufficient water to form a dilute slurry which is then heated under pressure to calcine the gypsum, converting it to an alpha calcium sulfate hemihydrate. The resulting composite material comprises cellulosic fibers physically interlocked with calcium sulfate crystals. Another source of both gypsum and cellulosic fibers is waste (scrap) gypsum wallboard. Expanded perlite is the preferred lightweight aggregate material.

The apparatus includes a plurality of spring loaded, radially adjustable jaws and an annular piston in operative communication with the jaws. The piston can move hydraulically towards the jaws and can be returned hydraulically to its neutral position. The effective area of the piston, by means of which it is returned to its neutral position, amounts to only a fraction of the piston-area which advances the piston. The end of the piston remote from the jaws engages in an annular hydraulic cylinder, the entire cross-section of the piston which is largest at this end, forming the effective piston-area which advances the piston.

Date Aug. 6, 1992.To vacuum up a fluid using a vacuum cleaner, there is provided an attachment (1) to which a vacuum cleaner hose (31) is connected. The attachment comprises a separation chamber (3) in which the vacuumed up liquid is separated from the suction air through deposition on the wall surfaces (5, 6, 8, 11) of the separation chamber, with the liquid then dripping down into the collection chamber (21). The liquid is thus completely separated from the air using a common vacuum cleaner without the potential for vacuum cleaner damage. To insure that the suction through the attachment is cut off in the event that the liquid in the container reaches the vicinity of the suction channel, a valve element (18) and a float element (20) are provided which cut off the suction air and therewith the flow of liquid to the attachment when the maximum liquid level has been reached in the container. A finger operated valve can optionally cut off the suction through the attachment to regulate the vacuum.

Title: Fluorescent intensity assay for duplex and triplex nucleic acid hybridization in solution utilizing fluorescent intercalators
Inventor: DAKSIS JASMINE I
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2000-12-21
Granted: 2004-12-23
Abstract: The invention provides a homogeneous assay for nucleic acid hybridization. The fluorescent intensity of a hybridization medium containing a probe, a target and an intercalating agent is a function of the hybridization efficiency of the probe with respect to the target. The assay can detect specific hybridization between single-stranded probes and non-denatured double-stranded targets to form triplexes, thus obviating the need to denature the targets. The assay can also detect duplex hybridization complexes. The assay can be used to identify accessible regions in folded nucleotide sequences, to determine the number of mismatched pairs in a hybridization complex, and to map genomes.

Granted: 1990-11-01
Abstract: An in-mold labeling apparatus (10) includes a label transfer assembly (24) carrying a number of label carriages each with a number of label tranfer heads (92). A continuously rotating drive arm (52) raises and lowers the assembly (10) in simple harmonic motion to move the label transfer heads (92) between label magazines (14) for pickup of labels and mold halves (16) of a blow molding machine.

Title: Whistle
Inventor: FOXCROFT RONALD LEWIS
IPC: G10K5/00
Filed: 1988-09-20
Granted: 1990-11-29
Abstract: The invention provides a new whistle, intended for sports referees, and for small boat emergency use, where a loud piercing sound is required without the possibility of loss of sound by "over-blowing" or by sticking of the freely-moving ball used in conventional whistles. The profile of the new whistle preferably is of flat-topped "mandolin" shape in side elevation, so that it is familiar and readily acceptable by established users, and yet includes three separate fipple-type whistle elements in a single whistle body, each with its own air column chamber (24, 26, 28) and vibration-producing knife edge (24a, 26a, 28a), at least two of which chambers are of slightly different lengths, so as to produce complex harmonics and beats that increase the piercing quality and audibility of the sound. This is done by providing two elements (24, 26) side-by-side and parallel to one another, with the third also parallel and below (or above in an inverted shape) the other two protruding into the space between them. The body is provided with a rearwardly- protruding boss (18) into which the third column (28) extends, so that its knife edge (28a) can be set back from the others to retain the desired side profile, and yet it can be the longest of the three. The whistle is made as a three-part (32, 34, 38) moulding, two (34, 38) of which fit within the third (32), the moulding parts providing different parts of the three element chambers (24, 26, 28), their knife edges (24a, 26a, 28a), air-directing passages (24c, 26c, 28c) and the boss (18), so that all three parts can be moulded without the use of complex moulds and the whistle is complete when the three are assembled together.

Title: Conductive probe for heating contact lens mold assemblies during demolding
Inventor: WIDMAN MICHAEL F
IPC: B29D11/00
Filed: 1997-05-27
Granted: 1999-08-19
Abstract: Demolding apparatus for reliably and repeatedly mechanically separating contact lens mold assemblies without damaging the contact lens formed therebetween. The mold assembly includes a frontcurve mold having a central mold section with a surrounding flange, and a corresponding backcurve mold also having a central mold section with a surrounding flange, with a contact lens being molded therebetween. The demolding apparatus includes a conductive heating probe which contacts the backcurve mold of the lens mold assembly to conductively heat the backcurve mold. Heat is conducted by the backcurve mold to cause a temperature gradient between the backcurve mold and the lens being demolded. The temperature gradient causes a differential expansion and shifting of the surface of the backcurve mold relative to the surface of the lens to lessen the adhesion therebetween to assist in separation of the molds, while leaving the lens in the frontcurve mold. The conductive heating probe includes a convex heating surface which contacts and is the same general shape as a concave surface on the backcurve mold, and can also include a compliant heat conductor to conform to the concave surface on the backcurve mold. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a conductive heating probe assembly having an n x m array of conductive heating probes which contact each backcurve mold of an n x m array of molds assemblies positioned in a support pallet.

Abstract: Electric circuit breaker or load switch, comprising a housing (21), at least one pair of contacts consisting of a fixed contact (23) and a movable contact (24) which can assume a first and second position relative to the fixed contact (23). A spring system, made up of a rigid arm (33) and a leaf spring (30), which leaf spring (30) is hinged by one end (32) to the arm (33), such that an arm-leaf spring assembly in the form of a toggle mechanism with a first (31) and second end (34) is formed. The first end (31) of this toggle mechanism is hinged to a movably supported element (25) having the movable contact (24), and the second end (34) is disposed hingedly supported at a distance from and opposite the fixed contact (23).
