Patent AU-2732795-A (AU)
Title: Pellets
Inventor: NORLING TOMAS
IPC: A61K9/16
Filed: 1995-06-14
Abstract: A novel drug delivery system, e.g. in the form of a solid dosage form or a liquid formulation based on a pharmaceutical multiple unit in the form of cores such as, e.g., coated cores. The pharmaceutical formulations are based on a novel principle allowing preparation of cores such as, e.g., cores in the form of pellets, i.e. substantially spheric particles which have such a mechanical strength (expressed in terms of friability) that the cores are sufficiently robust to substantially remain intact after having been subjected to coating by standard pharmaceutical procedures well known by a person skilled in the art such as, e.g., a coating process involving a fluidized bed process. A spray-drying process for the preparation of the pharmaceutical formulation is also described.

Title: Improved water treatment system
Inventor: HANEY HAROLD E
IPC: B01D61/10
Filed: 1997-06-02
Abstract: The water treatment apparatus utilizes membrane separation technology to separate clean product water from a contaminated water source. An improved valve (62, 64, 514) comprising a hollow cylindrical member (66, 84, 560), a valve member (68, 92, 566) slidably arranged within the hollow cylindrical member (66, 84, 560), and an interior channel (74, 86, 564) extending along at least a portion of the cylindrical member is provided. The improved valve (68, 64, 514) is arranged to provide a number of positions including a closed position, flush positions and processing positions. These positions are arranged by axial movement of a valve member (68, 92, 566) along the cylindrical bore (74, 86, 564) of the valve body (66, 84, 560). A high pressure seal (310) is provided for use with submersible electric pumps (270) employed in the water treatment apparatus. The high pressure seal (310) provides a means for closing an opening (314) in a wall (316) of a housing containing high pressure water and for sealing around wires (318) extending through the opening (314). This seal (310) may also be used with any other electrical device used under similar conditions. A tank (510) for use with smaller water treatment apparatus is also provided. This tank (510) is basically cylindrical with two part cylindrical recesses (532, 533) parallel to the axis of the tank (510) and lying along one side of the tank. Each recess (532, 533) receives a respective one of the cylindrical pump body (513) and the cylindrical reactor body (515). The pump (513) and reactor (515) are therefore efficiently stored within the cylindrical surface of the main tank (510).

Patent AU-2990199-A (AU)
Title: Method and apparatus for representing devices and available information within anetwork of devices using object lists and object entries
Inventor: LUDTKE AARON
IPC: G06F13/00
Filed: 1999-03-09
Abstract: Object lists and object entries provide a general hierarchical model for representing functions and capabilities of a network of devices in a uniform standardized format. The object lists and object entries are used to represent devices, subdevices, supported media, installed media and available services. Preferably, the devices are coupled together in an IEEE 1394-1995 serial bus network. The list of devices within the network are included within a unit object list, including unit object descriptors each representing a corresponding device. For devices having subunits, the unit object descriptor is associated with a subunit object list, including subunit object descriptors each representing a corresponding subunit within the device. Each subunit object descriptor then also has associated object lists, as appropriate, including a supported media object list including entries representing types of media supported by the subunit and an installed media object list including entries representing information available on the media currently installed within the subunit. For subunits capable of providing services, the subunit object descriptor has an associated object list, including an available services list including entries representing the services currently available through the subunit. The uniform standardized format of the object lists and object entries of the present invention allow two devices coupled together within the IEEE 1394-1995 serial bus network to exchange information including their respective object lists and entries.

Title: Improved multi-band programmable compression system
Inventor: WALDHAUER FRED DONALD
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 1989-02-23
Abstract: A programmable low voltage multi-band compression system suitable for use with hearing aids is described. Received audio signals are processed by a band split filter which separates the received audio signal into a plurality of frequency bands. A plurality of compressors coupled to the band split filter compresses each of the respective frequency bands. The output of the compressor are then summed to generate a composite audio signal. The compression ratio of each of the compressors is set, in response to a set of control signals, to a preselected independent value. The average gain of each of the compressors is set to a preselected level independently of the other compressors. In addition, the compression ratio of each compressor may vary with input signal level. Another set of control signals is employed for setting the gain of the compressor to provide a volume control function.

Patent AU-3466684-A (AU)
Title: Ecg electrode afixed with vacuum seal to skin
Inventor: LUNDBACK STIG
IPC: A61B5/296
Filed: 1984-10-25
Abstract: The invention relates to an electrode intended, for example, for electrocardiogram examinations, and capable of being held in position by suction. Vacuum conditions are created through a hose or tube (8), through which a measuring conductor (7) is drawn. The electrode comprises an inflexible backpiece (3), an intermediate component (2) made of an elastomeric material, and an electrode plate (1), preferably made of a silver-coated plastics. The intermediate component (2) includes a relatively inflexible sealing ring (9) which, in the operative state of the electrode, supports against the skin of a patient via a sealing lip (13) and against the opposing side of the backpiece (3). The electrode plate (1) is firmly connected to the backpiece, while the sealing ring carried by the intermediate component (2) is movable and can be readily sprung away from the backpiece (via resilient means 17). When no load is exerted on the lip-side of the ring and the ring is thus urged outwardly, a vacuum valve is closed automatically through the intermediate component (2), and is re-opened when the electrode is pressed against the surface of the skin, whereupon the electrode is held firmly by suction.

Title: Method and system for recognition of broadcast segments
Inventor: ELLIS MICHAEL D
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 1993-04-30
Abstract: Broadcast segment recognition systems (10) and methods are provided in which a signature representing a monitored broadcast segment is compared with broadcast segment signatures in a data base (412) representing known broadcast segments to determine whether a match exists. Criteria for determining the validity of such a match are provided. In one aspect, signatures representing audio broadcast signals are formed by comparing temporally displaced portions of respective frequency band values within plural frequency bands of the broadcast audio signal. Systems and methods are provided for producing signatures representing intervals of a video signal which compensate for shifts in an edge of a picture (142) represented by the video signal. In addition, signatures characterizing respective intervals of a broadcast signal exhibiting correlation are produced by generating a difference vector (150) for each respective interval and carrying out vector transformations of the different vectors (150) to reduce such correlation. Moreover, signatures characterizing intervals of a video signal are produced with corresponding mask words representing reliability of values comprising the signature. Mask words of first and second signatures thus formed representing different portions of the video signal displaced from one another are compared to establish the values of the mask word. <IMAGE>
