Patent AU-767330-B2 (AU)
Title: Heat exchanger with dimpled bypass channel
Inventor: CHEONG ALEX S
IPC: F28F3/08
Filed: 2000-05-19
Granted: 2003-11-06
Abstract: A heat exchanger is disclosed having a plurality of stacked plate pairs or tubes, each having a predetermined internal cold flow resistance. A bypass conduit is included in the stack of plate pairs or tubes. The bypass conduit includes a central row of spaced-apart, mating dimples defining longitudinal flow channels on either side of the dimples for bypass flow through the bypass conduit under cold flow conditions. The longitudinal flow channels have a height and width such that the cold flow resistance therethrough is less than the cold flow resistance through the stacked plate pairs or tubes. In normal or hot flow conditions, the dimples create flow resistance by forcing the fluid flowing through the bypass conduit to change velocity and direction. This forces more oil to flow through the stacked plate pairs or tubes increasing heat transfer performance.

Title: Absorbent articles having improved surfactant-treated hydrophilic topsheets
Inventor: LEE YANN-PER
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 1996-03-20
Granted: 2000-07-27
Abstract: The present invention provides an absorbent article having a topsheet treated with a silicone-based surfactant to impart hydrophilicity. The absorbent article preferably includes a first, apertured, macroscopically expanded, three-dimensional, polymeric topsheet and preferably includes a second, apertured, macroscopically expanded, three-dimensional polymeric topsheet underlying the first topsheet. The multiple topsheets provide improved masking of bodily fluids absorbed and retained by the absorbent core. The first and second topsheets preferably include surfactants which impart hydrophilicity to differing degrees, and which preferably are selected from diverse surfactant categories. The use of a silicone-based surfactant imparts improved tactile qualities to the wearer-contacting surface of the first topsheet in comparison with non-silicone-based surfactants. These characteristics of the silicone-based surfactant provide improved dryness and cleanliness of appearance through low retention of fluid material at or near the surface of the topsheet itself and promoting fluid movement along the wetted surfaces and downward into the absorbent core.

Title: Solvent extraction
Inventor: ROSE PETER DALE
IPC: A23L17/60
Filed: 1994-01-31
Granted: 1995-09-07
Abstract: The invention provides a method for the solvent-extraction of  beta -carotene from an aqueous algal biomass suspension, whereby a vegetable oil which is immiscible with water is mixed with an aqueous biomass suspension, the biomass containing the  beta -carotene, to form a mixture of the organic phase and the aqueous suspension, whereby the  beta -carotene is caused to dissolve in the organic phase. This is followed by separation of the organic phase from the aqueous phase by passing the organic phase containing the dissolved beta -carotene through a semi-permeable membrane to effect microfiltration or ultrafiltration of the organic phase. The membrane is of a material which is hydrophobic and the organic phase is passed through the membrane with a pressure drop across the membrane which is lower than that which causes the aqueous phase to pass through the membrane.

Title: Multilayer compression stocking system and method
Inventor: REID LAWRENCE
IPC: A61F5/37
Filed: 2000-06-23
Granted: 2004-01-08
Abstract: A multilayer compression stocking or bandage system comprises a plurality of layers, including an underlayer and at least one overlayer, each of which may have predetermined amounts of compressive pressure at discrete locations. In one aspect, the underlayer has one or more alignment markings, each positioned at a different location on the underlayer to assist in aligning discrete locations of compressive pressure on the lower extremities. In another aspect, each of the layers has one or more alignment markings, each alignment marking positioned at a different location on the respective layer, and each alignment marking on a layer corresponds to a different one of the alignment markings on each other layer. When alignment markings on each layer are aligned with corresponding markings on each other layer, discrete locations of specific amounts of compressive pressure on each layer can be properly aligned, resulting in accurate higher pressures at particular anatomical locations and proper pressure gradations along the length of the leg.

Granted: 1984-06-07
Abstract: Connected to the take-up spool (26) of the ribbon cartridge (10) is a disc member (28) supporting a pair of flexible arms (32) with outwardly oriented pointed ends (34). Ends (34) engage ratchet teeth (44) formed on the internal surface of a cylinder (42) forming part of, or attached to, the ribbon cartridge (10). As disc (28) and arms (32) are rotated by the ribbon feed mechanism, arms (32) will flex and permit a rotation of disc (28) and take-up spool (26) with a minimal drag force. Upon reversal, the ends (34) of arms (32) engage ratchet teeth (44) and arms (32) become compression columns resisting the rotation of disc (28) and spool (26). Ends (34) of arms (32) are positioned such that they are one-half tooth out of phase to ensure that one tooth is always in engagement with the end (34) of one of the two arms (32).
