Patent AU-767325-B2 (AU)
Title: A method and apparatus for compressing signals in a fixed point format without introducing a bias
Inventor: RIDDLE CHRISTOPHER C
IPC: H03M7/34
Filed: 1999-08-13
Granted: 2003-11-06
Abstract: A method and apparatus for compressing fixed point signals without introducing a bias. Signals are compressed according to a dithered rounding approach wherein signal values are rounded up and rounded down with approximately equal probability, canceling the bias that would otherwise result from the rounding operation. Numerical properties of the input signal are exploited in order to determine whether the signal value should be rounded up or down. Signal compression may, therefore, be introduced at multiple points within a system without accumulating a signal bias and degrading downstream performance. Further, one bit signal compression may be achieved in a particularly efficient fashion with a minimal amount of hardware.

Title: Lateral member assembly for underdrain lateral system
Inventor: EISCHEN FREDERICK W
IPC: B01D24/22
Filed: 1996-06-14
Granted: 1999-04-01
Abstract: Lateral member assembly for use in an underdrain lateral distribution system is made of plastics but is as capable as much heavier and more costly prior art metallic assemblies in supporting a bed of filter media which must be periodically backwashed with liquid and gas. Complementary elements, including a rigid extruded floor plate member having longitudinally extending side edge channels, and an overlying screen member having flange portions adapted to be retained by undercut recesses in the side edge channels, are adapted to be assembled to each other to form hollow lateral assemblies. In a preferred embodiment, the screen member is telescopically assembled to the floor plate member to cause the screen flange portions to interlock with the recesses in the side edge channels. The resulting assembly is sealed against leakage where the members are interlocked by a pair of flexible, integral plastic sealing strips which are co-extruded with the rigid floor plate member. In an alternative arrangement, the flange portions of the screen members engage a cam surface on the floor plate member which forces them away from each other as the screen member is pressed down against the floor plate member, thus causing them to snap into the undercut recesses in the side edge channels. The flange portions are then retained in a locked relationship with the floorplate member and sealed by flexible rod members forced into the space between the outside surfaces of the screen member and the outer walls of the side edge channels.

Title: Improved gas sample chamber
Inventor: WONG JACOB Y
IPC: G01N21/05
Filed: 1991-11-25
Granted: 1995-05-04
Abstract: A diffusion-type gas sample chamber for use in a gas analyzer consists of an elongated hollow tube having an inwardly-facing specularly-reflective surface that permits the tube to function also as a light pipe for transmitting radiation from a source to a detector through the sample gas. A number of filtering apertures in the wall of the otherwise non-porous hollow tube permit the sample gas to enter and exit freely under ambient pressure. Particles of smoke and dust of a size greater than 0.1 micron are kept out of the chamber by use of a semi-permeable membrane that spans the apertures in the hollow tube. Condensation of the sample gas components is prevented by heating the sample chamber electrically to a temperature above the dew point of the component of concern.

Title: An intravascular device with improved radiopacity
Inventor: DUERIG THOMAS
IPC: A61F2/82
Filed: 2001-12-07
Granted: 2006-01-19
Abstract: A stent having marker tabs formed from a micro-alloyed combination of materials provides for more precise placement and post-procedural visualization in a vessel, by increasing the radiopacity of the stent under X-ray fluoroscopy. A unique micro-alloying process is utilized to form the tabs, comprising a first alloy and a second alloy, wherein one of these alloys is radiopaque. This substantially eliminates the possibility of galvanic action between the tab and the stent. This process is also applicable to other medical devices.

Title: Pilot level regenerator for carrier frequency links - has FET preventing heated NTC resistor circuit from causing level jumps at switch on
IPC: H04B3/12
Filed: 1969-11-25
Abstract: The pilot level regenerator uses an indirectly-heated NTC resistor to control the gain of an amplifier so that the pilot signal always has its reference level at points along the carrier frequency transmission link. An FET is coupled in parallel with the NTC resistor and conducts when the power supply is switched on but turns off after a given time. This prevents sudden jumps in pilot level when the supply is switched on. The FET is controlled by a voltage dependent on the behaviour of the NTC resistor. An auxiliary DTC resistor is heated by the same current that heats the first and the voltage drop across it is used to derive the control voltage for the FET.
