Patent AU-4555193-A (AU)
Title: Method and circuit for charging batteries
Inventor: ETTEL VICTOR ALEXANDER
IPC: H01M10/44
Filed: 1993-07-14
Abstract: A battery charge is provided which automatically controls the charging process independent of individual battery construction or temperature. Control of the charging process is achieved by periodically interrupting the charging current, determining resistance-free voltage of the battery in fixed intervals after interruptions of current, and comparing the resistance-free voltage with a reference voltage. Reference voltage is automatically determined for each recharging subject by analyzing the change in resistance-free voltage with respect to time during an initial, constant current period to locate certain characteristic points indicative of the onset of overcharge. The charging current is reduced as necessary, so that the resistance-free voltage does not exceed the reference voltage and significant overcharge is avoided.
Patent AU-4675879-A (AU)
Title: Imd (intra mammary device)
Inventor: KORTUM WILLIAM MAX
IPC: A61D7/00
Filed: 1979-05-04
Abstract: Process and apparatus (see figure 2) are provided for stimulating immune resistance by the introduction of at least one relatively small solid non-toxic substantially non-biodegradable body (22), having nonspecific antigenic action, into each gland cistern of the udder. The body is sufficiently flexible or elastic and of a shape so as to be capable of being shaped into a form small enough to be inserted into the gland cistern through the lactiferous duct and then reformed to its original shape which inhibits its passage from the gland cistern into the teat cistern. The continued presence of the non-specific antigenic body induces immune resistance including an increase in the number and activity of phagocytic cells, particularly leukocyte cells, in the udder.The continued presence of these increased numbers of activated phagocytic cells provides protection against bacterial invasion through the streak canal without degrading milk quality

Title: Method of producing simulated meat product from whole soybeans
Inventor: MCCABE EDWARD M
IPC: A23L11/30
Filed: 1990-02-20
Abstract: A method of processing whole soybeans to produce discrete, irregularly-shaped chunks or pieces of textured proteinaceous material which are free from off-flavors and odors and have a meat-like texture and appearance. Whole soybeans are hydrated and acidified to a pH in the range of about 4.5 to 6.5 and the pH of the soybeans is maintained in this range throughout processing. The acidified whole soybeans are ground in an aqueous medium to provide an aqueous slurry or dough of soybean particles having a pH in the range of 4.5-6.5. The aqueous acidic slurry or dough is passed through a confined treatment zone in which high temperature pressurized steam is injected directly into a confined stream of the slurry or dough under conditions which effect texturization of the soy protein in the form of discrete chunks or pieces which are discharged from the treatment zone. The texturized pieces, when discharged from the treatment zone or when dried and rehydrated are free of off-flavors and odors and have a meat-like texture, firmness and appearance. They are suitable for use in a wide variety of food products, including frozen products, canned products and dry mix products. If desired, additives such as flavoring, coloring, fat, seasoning and other proteinaceous materials may be incorporated in the texturized soy protein pieces.

Patent AU-5384998-A (AU)
Title: Surgical instrument
Inventor: DION ERNEST A
IPC: A61B17/16
Filed: 1997-12-17
Abstract: A surgical instrument comprises an inner tube which rotates within an outer tube and carries a surgical tool that includes a burr for cutting tissue exposed to the burr through an opening in the outer tube. The instrument includes several features which enhance the efficiency at which tissue fragments severed by the burr are aspirated through the inner tube, and which enable the burr to effectively cut relatively soft tissue as well as harder tissue such as bone. For example, the burr includes a proximal shank having a wall that has an aperture therein with a substantial width relative to an outer diameter of the wall for conveying tissue fragments cut by the burr into an interior chamber of the shank, and thence into a passage in the inner tube. The opening in the outer tube is axially elongated sufficiently to expose a major portion of the aperture. The large aperture and its exposure by the outer tube opening reduce the risk of clogging by admitting larger tissue fragments into the inner tube for aspiration. Additionally, the burr includes a plurality of grooves that are axially elongated and inclined transversely to the flutes, and the grooves define a plurality of axially spaced notches in each of the cutting edges. The notches divide the cutting edges into relatively small segments that produce correspondingly small tissue fragments (even when the burr is used to cut soft tissue) to further reduce the risk of clogging. In addition, the cutting edges are preferably provided with a positive rake that makes the cutting edges sharper and suitable for effectively cutting, rather than tearing or shredding, relatively soft tissue.
