Patent AU-748935-B2 (AU)
Title: Cable shock absorbing device
Inventor: COURTNEY STEPHEN BENJAMIN
IPC: H02G11/00
Filed: 1999-09-15
Granted: 2002-06-13
Abstract: A shock absorbing device for an electrical cable includes a resilient member attachable to two spaced-apart portions of the cable, so as to bias the spaced-apart portions toward one another and to impart an arcuate shape to the cable between the spaced apart portions. The device also includes a spacer member for location between the cable and the resilient member. The spacer member can ensure that the cable and the resilient member are maintained at a minimum distance, so that when tension is applied to the cable, the resilient member is deformed, thus producing a rising spring rate effect in the device.
Patent AU-721709-B2 (AU)
Title: Method for medicating the inflammatory controlling system and adverse inflammatory reactions and for making compounds for treating the pathology of adverse inflammatory reactions
Inventor: DRUBE CLAIRMONT G
IPC: A61K9/30
Filed: 1996-06-06
Granted: 2000-07-13
Abstract: Adverse inflammatory reactions can be treated by administrating to an organism a composition having diglucosylamine as the active ingredient. The preferred compound is di-Beta-D-glucopyranosylamine. A simple method for making diglucosylamine in high purity is obtained by reacting glucose, a nitrogen containing base, and either methanol or ethanol to form the diglucosylamine and then recovering the diglucosylamine preferably with the use of charcoal. The preferred diglucosylamine, di-Beta-D-glucopyranosylamine, has extraordinary anti-inflammatory activity. It can be formulated with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to make pharmaceutical compositions which are effective in treating inflammations. This pharmaceutical composition can also be used to treat adverse inflammatory reactions that are the result of the disruptions of a dynamic network of cellular mechanisms in organisms. In addition, application of this composition also serves to reestablish the balance of the cellular defense network in an organism which has its cellular defense network out of balance. In this unbalanced case, the composition serves to treat the pathology of inflammation and activates the inflammatory control system in vivo. These adverse inflammatory reactions can also be treated by administrating to the organism glucose in the presence of NH3<+ >ions and at a pH of about 7.0 or greater. The glucose can preferably be applied by orally administrating an enteric-coated form of glucose, alone or in combination with other medicaments.

Title: Method of preparing tissue samples
Inventor: MALLUCHE HARTMUT H
IPC: G01N1/44
Filed: 1986-07-07
Granted: 1989-09-14
Abstract: A method is described for preparing tissue samples for use in diagnostic evaluation involving the rapid fixation, dehydration, and embedding of a tissue sample as well as rapid mounting of plastic sections to glass slides, dissolution of plastic and optimal staining of tissure components. The rapid and controllable fixation and the dehydration of the tissue sample utilizes the denaturing effects of microwaves on the proteins in combination with a heat sink. Alternatively, the dehydration of the tissue sample utilizes the principles of freeze drying. The tissue sample can be embedded using conventional paraffin embedding or plastic embedding techniques. Rapid penetration of plastic into the tissue is facilitated by microwaves, adhesion of plastic sections to glass slides is promoted by microwaves, as is the fast and optimal staining of tissue components. The method of this invention provides a very rapid technique for processing of tissue for diagnostic and analytic evaluation.

Title: A method for treating sludge from wastewater treatment
Inventor: HANSEN BENGT
IPC: C02F3/12
Filed: 1998-03-12
Granted: 2000-03-23
Abstract: A method for treating sludge from wastewater purification is described. In the method, a sludge is treated, which contains phosphorus and at least one metal which originates from precipitation chemicals and which is selected among divalent iron and aluminum, the pH of the sludge being adjusted to below 4, preferably below 2, for dissolving the content of the phosphorus and said metal in the sludge; the remaining sludge is separated; the solution relieved of sludge and containing phosphorus and said metal is treated for precipitation of the phosphorus content of the solution as FePO4 at a pH of 2-3; and precipitated FePO4 is separated. The method is characterized in that the solution which remains after separation of FePO4 and which contains said metal from the precipitation chemicals, is recycled to the wastewater purification. The phosphorus content of the solution is precipitated as FePO4 by adding an at least equivalent amount of Fe3-.

Title: Disc brake with two symmetrically arranged brake pads - reduced tendency of pad to tip and ensures even wear
IPC: F16D65/092
Filed: 1969-11-13
Abstract: The brake housing (1) is in the form of a stirrup which straddles the brake disc (10). Each side of the housing (1) is provided with two cylinders housing identical pistons (11) and (12) which exert pressure on the brake pads (15) and (16) respectively.

The reaction torque of the brake is resisted by the edges of the brake pad (16) pressing against the pad (15) which in turn presses against the housing (1). The use of two separate pads reduces the tendency to tip which results in more even pad wear.

Title: Limiter for peak periods in heating system - has thermal feedback resistor coupled to load cct. via transformer
IPC: H05B1/02
Filed: 1971-10-12
Abstract: The limiter restricting power consumption during peak periods in a heating system has a thermal feedback resistor in the heating system's thermostat and carrying a current proportional to the load during moments of power surging. The feedback resistor is located in the secondary circuit of a transformer whose primary is coupled into the load circuit. The transformer's secondary circuit can be short circuited by the switch that switches the limiting circuit on and off. The advantage of the limiter lies in its continually adapting its attenuation to the magnitude of the load. The operating condition of feedback resistors can be adjusted so that heating arrangements are not simultaneously switched off, but rather stepped. This prevents large power surges.
