Patent AU-4601300-A (AU)
Title: Method and apparatus for the manipulation of particles by means of dielectrophoresis
Inventor: MEDORO GIANNI
IPC: B81B7/00
Filed: 2000-05-13
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for establishing closed dielectrophoretic potential cages and precise displacement thereof, suitable for the manipulation of particles and detection of same. The apparatus comprises a first array of selectively addressable electrodes, lying on a substantially planar substrate and facing toward a second array comprising one electrode. The arrays define the upper and lower bounds of a micro-chamber where particles are placed in liquid suspension. By applying in-phase and counter-phase periodic signals to electrodes, one or more independent potential cages are established which cause particles to be attracted to or repelled from cages according to signal frequency and the dielectric characteristics of the particles and suspending medium. By properly applying voltage signal patterns into arrays, cages may trap one or more particles, thus permitting them to levitate steadily and/or move. In the preferred embodiment, where one array is integrated on a semiconductor substrate, displacement of particles can be monitored by embedded sensors to achieve complex operations upon the sample to be analyzed, such as isolation, selection and precise counting of particles.

Title: Computer system control with user data via interface surface
Inventor: LAPSTUN PAUL
IPC: G06F3/14
Filed: 2000-05-24
Abstract: A system for capturing an electronic message is disclosed. The system includes a printer, a sensing device and a computer system. The printer prints on a substrate user information visible to a user and coded tags invisible to the user. Each coded tag encodes an identity unique to the substrate and a location of the coded tag on the substrate. The user information defines a message area on the substrate. The sensing device senses the coded tags on the substrate when the sensing device is moved relative to the substrate. The computer system electronically captures a message composed with the sensing device via movement of the sensing device relative to the message area, the computer system using the identity of the substrate and a sequence of respective locations of coded tags sensed by the sensing device for determining the movement relative to the message area and the message.

The circuits provide common mode signal rejection and avoid current flow between the telephone lines responsive to common mode voltage signals on the lines so that audible hum is avoided. The circuits include first voltage clamping circuitry (11 or 311) for clamping voltage signals on the lines at a first predetermined voltage potential and second voltage clamping and filter circuitry (22 or 50 or 52 or 54 or 56 or 58 or 60 or 62 or 318) for clamping voltage signals on the lines at a second predetermined voltage potential and for filtering noise and transient signals from the voltage signals only when the voltage signals exceed the second predetermined voltage potential. The second voltage clamping circuitry provides common mode signal rejection and substantially avoids current flow between the lines responsive to common mode voltage signals on the lines.

Title: Process for producing mortar and method for applying the same
Inventor: SUZUKI TOSHIRO
IPC: B28C5/46
Filed: 1986-01-24
Abstract: This improved process produces concrete, mortar etc. at a low water to cement ratio and uses ice blocks instead of water. Cement, aggregates such as sand, gravel etc. and small ice blocks are mixed at a low water-to-cement ratio to prepare a macroscopically uniform system consisting of a pseudo solid phase wetted with a small amt. of molten water formed on the surface of the ice blocks. Then the ice blocks gradually melt to produce a homogeneous mixture prior to the application of the mortar. The ice blocks are ice sliced with an ice slicer, granular ice, small pieces of ice or snow. A powder of water-soluble polymer (methyl cellulose) can be added direct to the ice-cement mixture or an aq. soln. of this polymer can be frozen to form the ice blocks. This process can be used to obtain heavy wt. concrete that contains high specific gravity (at least 3.0) aggregates using a water cement ratio of 45% or less. The process can be used to produce mortar having a low-temp. tolerance (for this use the water/concrete ratio up to 45%), or to produce reinforced mortar (the ice contains the reinforcement materials.).

Title: Transfer of packet data from a network server to a mobile station over a digitalradio communication network
Inventor: JOHANSSON STEFAN
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-10-05
Abstract: The invention relates to the transfer of packet data from a network server to a mobile communication station over a digital radio communication network. A network server, that wants to transfer packet data to a mobile communication station via a digital radio communication network, requests the mobile station to set up a packet data protocol connection with the server. The request is accomplished by sending a message to the station, via a message service provided by the radio network, using a subscriber's unique user identification number. In reply to the received message, the station identifies itself to the packet radio network, if not already identified, activates a packet data service provided by the packet radio network, if not already activated, and establishes a PDP connection with the requesting server. Using this PDP connection, the server may transfer packet data to the mobile communication station.

Title: Arc ignition arrangement
Inventor: KARLSSON ROLF
IPC: B23K9/067
Filed: 1998-09-10
Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for contact arc ignition in manual TIG welding and to a method for welding with this arrangement. The arc is established by lifting the welding torch (12) after contact between electrode (13) and workpiece (14) under low ignition current. When the arc length is sufficient, the welder orders a change-over to welding current via an operating device (11). The invention can also be used for controlling the supply of heat to the workpiece both during continuous bead application and during the crater filling time at the end of welding. The invention creates reliable ignitions without extensive use of control electronics, and it substantially reduces the electrode wear in manual TIG welding.
