Title: Spring slat for bedstead
IPC: A47C23/06
Filed: 1984-01-03
Abstract: The arrangement comprises mounting supports for the spring slats, insertable in the longitudinal beams of the bedstead, with two upper spring-slats serving as a support for the mattress and undulating spring-slats situated below them. A tiltable holding part having four receptacles for the spring-slats is fitted on a plug of the mounting support. Below the plug there is a resilient bearing pad enabling the holding part to deflect vertically. The upper spring-slats are bent convexly upward and have a broadened cross-section in the middle. By means of the undulating lower spring-slats, a progressive spring action is achieved. There is no sagging of the mattress in the region of heavier parts of the body, optimum spring action being ensured nonetheless. It is possible to divide the bedstead into zones of differing degrees of firmness by selectively providing mounting supports with only upper spring-slats or with additional lower spring-slats.

Title: Coffee brewer
Inventor: KING ALAN M
IPC: A47J31/32
Filed: 1988-08-26
Abstract: A beverage brewing machine which has upper (11) and lower (25) brewing chambers which are moveable relative to each other so as to clamp a strip-shaped filter (36) therebetween during the brewing process and the chambers can be separated so as to allow the filter strip to be removed from the brewing chamber and the beverage residual wiped therefrom after which the filter strip is returned to the brewing chambers which are then resealed for the next cycle. A hold down grid (20) engages the top surface of the filter (36) to hold it down as a piston (26) moves in the lower chamber (25) upwardly to force air through the filter to agitate the beverage. When the piston reaches top dead center, the hold down grid (20) is lifted. When the piston passes the opening the brewed coffee is poured. A loose connection is provided between the connecting rod for the piston and the driving crank arm so that the piston remains longer at the top and bottom of its stroke. Due to agitation of ground and oxygenation of the mixture, or a combination of both, by adding a high volume of air during the brewing process, increased extraction results. <IMAGE>

Patent AU-2755600-A (AU)
Title: Collision avoidance system
Inventor: HALL BRETT
IPC: E01F9/529
Filed: 2000-02-03
Abstract: The Collision Avoidance System prevents collisions between vehicles and vehicular collisions with pedestrians, trains, and stationary objects by monitoring, controlling, documenting, and reporting the speed and position of vehicles. The system guards against speeding violations, moving violations, and particular safety hazards by invoking a reduction of vehicle speed or by restricting vehicle movement to control its position. This is primarily accomplished with the activation of a controllable road perturbation. The system also monitors pedestrians, school bus loading/unloading, traffic density, trains, environmental conditions that may affect driving, and traffic control systems to determine the action to take for collision prevention. The capability to monitor various parameters that may indicate an impending collision or detect parameters that indicate that conditions are more favorable for a collision allows the system to monitor an entire traffic environment to anticipate and thus prevent those collisions. The system integrates and synchronizes with existing traffic control devices and systems to ensure that it reinforces the traffic laws and safety intent of the environment in which it is installed. Sensors detect the status of objects within the traffic environment including the location and speed of vehicles. A computer is used to determine if the vehicles are adhering to the traffic laws or other safety concerns. Alarms may accompany the system output to inform the operator what must be done to prevent a collision. Additional sensors and cameras document the identity of violating vehicles as well as any resulting collisions and report the information to predetermined authorities through a multiple-channel communications interface. Authorities can remotely alter system operations to compensate for changes in traffic or weather conditions that demands a change in driving behavior in order to maintain safe travel. The system also allows emergency vehicles to pass unimpeded through the traffic environment.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP95/03476 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 28, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 28, 1997 PCT Filed Sep. 4, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/07460 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 14, 1996In a method for the desalination of seawater, there is evaporated and condensed the seawater, within a primary system, and a secondary medium, preferentially untreated water, within a compressor-containing, self-contained secondary system spatially separated from the primary system. The seawater is evaporated by heating in the presence of the secondary medium previously heated in the compressor at excess pressure, the latter medium is evaporated in the secondary system through condensation of the seawater vapour and the seawater vapour is led through a cyclone separator. The total seawater flow supplied to the primary system is subdivided into a first component flow and a second component flow of at least approximately equal magnitude, the first component flow, in a first heat transfer unit through which flows the hot water distillate at the output of the primary system, and the second component flow, in a second heat transfer unit through which flows the discharged hot wash-out, being brought to a temperature approaching the boiling temperature in the primary system. A value between greater than 1 and less than 2 is chosen for the ratio of supplied total seawater quantity per unit of time to wash-out quantity per unit of time (concentration factor CF). A method of this kind is suitable for thermal seawater desalination, enabling the production of germ-free water distillate of high quality under simultaneously lesser concentration of the seawater being evaporated and nonetheless saving energy.
