Patent AU-2688200-A (AU)
Title: Continuous frames of glasses from metallic plates
Inventor: MOCCIARO SALVATORE
IPC: G02C5/00
Filed: 2000-02-02
Abstract: This invention refers to a way of producing frames for glasses of different types but all with the characteristic of lacking in weldings and in the hinge that normally joints the frontal with the bars since such a purpose has been absolved by the elasticity of the material. During the same production process also the exhibitor for the point of sale will be realized, thereby reducing costs, times and wastes. Besides, with a couple of spectacle or sun lenses, even if expensive, it will be possible to preserve them, while the frame will be replaced by a different one compatible with the couple of lenses. Frontal, bars and nose pads, that is all the structure of the glasses, are made at the same time from one metallic plate. Through different techniques such as the laser cut, the electric erosion and above all the photo-chemical etching technique, the metallic plate is worked and subsequently is folded up in the suitable way to achieve the definitive shape. A part of the plate will generate the frames for glasses, and another part will be used for the samples of color, while the remaining part that contains the whole will be used like an exhibitor of the same glasses, once folded up in the correct way. Part of the bending is transmitted to the frames, that have the right thickness for the purpose, by the same lenses with negative chamfer to be inserted in the elastic joint with the suitable shape. The compactness of the frames and of the exhibitor, when not folded up, facilitates the delivery and the storage of their collection. Besides, for removing the problem of holding the folded up glasses, a tubular sheath of plastic transparent material, in which the glasses will be put in, will be employed.

Title: A method of improving the availability of a computer clustering system through the use of a network medium link state function
Inventor: PRICE DANIEL M
IPC: G06F11/20
Filed: 2001-12-19
Abstract: A method for improving the availability and reliability of a computer clustering system having first and second servers that are connected to each other by a communication link and that each have an associated mass storage device. In one implementation, the method begins when the first server detects a loss of communication over the communication link from the second server to the first server that prevents the servers from communicating with each other. The first server then analyzes the communication link to determine if the communication link is functioning properly. If the communication link is functioning properly, then the first server continues operation, assuming a right to survive without communicating with the second server or with the mass storage device of the first server or with the mass storage device of the second server, and the first server services network requests that would otherwise be serviced by the second server.

Patent AU-3311899-A (AU)
Title: Narrow band infrared water cut meter
Inventor: LANSANGAN ROBERTO M
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 1999-02-25
Abstract: The present invention provides a narrow band infrared water cut meter for detecting a full water cut range of a flow stream. The water cut meter includes a light source probe for irradiating the flow stream with a narrow band of infrared light and a light detector probe for sensing infrared light passed through the flow stream. For a narrow band of infrared light of a predetermined wavelength, there is a large difference in the absorption of infrared radiation between oil and water. At such a wavelength, the narrow band of infrared light is substantially transmitted through water content and gas content of the flow stream and substantially absorbed by oil content of the flow stream. The water cut meter thus differentiates oil by treating gas like water. Unlike other water cut meters, the narrow band infrared water cut meter is independent of variations of oil and water densities, salinity, oil emulsions, varying flow rates, and the gas content of a flow stream.

Title: Mutant human angiogenin (angiogenesis factor with superior angiogenin activity) genes therefor and methods of expression
Inventor: HARPER JEFFREY W
IPC: C12N15/12
Filed: 1989-03-20
Abstract: Site-specific mutagenesis of a gene for angiogenin producing DNA sequences encoding mutant proteins having increased angiogenic activity are disclosed. Expression vectors containing these sequences are introduced into host cells and direct the production of the mutant angiogenic proteins with markedly increased angiogenic and ribonucleolytic activity. Replacement of a single amino acid, the aspartic acid at or corresponding to position 116 of angiogenin, with another amino acid including asparagine, alanine or histidine, yields mutant proteins with 8 to 15 fold increased ribonucleolytic activity toward tRNA and rRNA and 10 to 100 fold increased angiogenic potency in the chorioallantoic membrane assay. The mutant angiogenin proteins of this invention are useful therapeutic compositions to promote the development of a hemovascular network in a mammal or to promote wound healing, in particular, healing of torn or traumatized fibrocartilage material.

Patent AU-3499784-A (AU)
Title: Nozzle assembly
Inventor: HANLON THOMAS A O
IPC: F16J15/48
Filed: 1984-11-05
Abstract: A leak-proof insert for sealing in a fluid passageway and which may be a plug for the passageway but in a preferred embodiment forms part of a nozzle assembly comprising a tubular sleeve (20), a nozzle (18) and a nozzle body (16). The nozzle and nozzle body are held in an assembled relation with their bores (40, 34) aligned by the tubular sleeve which encircles them. The sleeve provides a seal between the nozzle assembly and housing (10) into which the nozzle assembly is mounted, and also provides a seal between the nozzle and nozzle body. During use, when under working pressure, the tubular sleeve tends to flow and move both downstream and radially, forming seals between the nozzle assembly and housing; and between the nozzle and nozzle body, which seals tend to increase in effectiveness as the working pressure increases. The nozzle body described is a set screw enabling insertion in the housing and may have a chamfer (50) which engages a corresponding circular corner (52) of the housing, preventing downstream flow of the sleeve therebetween.
