Patent AU-4577802-A (AU)
Title: Power tool cord retainer
Inventor: LESSIG WILLIAM R III
IPC: B25F5/00
Filed: 2002-06-03
Abstract: A power cord retaining device for a portable AC powered tool. A retaining member holds the power cord plug engaged with a mating AC power jack in the housing of the power tool. The retaining member slides in a slot within the housing of the power tool from an unlocked position to a locked position. In the locked position the power cord plug is held in place engaged with the mating power jack in the housing of the power tool. A release member having a biasing element locks the retaining member in place until it is manually unlocked by the user thereby permitting the retaining member to be moved slidably away from the power jack to permit removal of the plug from the power jack. An alternative embodiment incorporates a flexible release member which is biased into engagement with the retaining member, which therefore does not require a separate biasing element. <IMAGE>

Title: Methods for sensitive detection of reverse transcriptase
Inventor: HENEINE WALID
IPC: C12R1/92
Filed: 1996-01-26
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for detecting the presence of a retrovirus in a biological sample comprising the steps of: a) contacting the biological sample with an RNA template and a complementary DNA primer under conditions whereby the RNA template and the DNA primer will anneal and a DNA strand will be synthesized as an extension from the DNA primer if reverse transcriptase is present in the sample; b) amplifying the synthesized DNA; and c) detecting the amplification of the synthesized DNA, the amplification of the synthesized DNA indicating the presence of reverse transcriptase in the biological sample, thus indicating the presence of a retrovirus in the biological sample.
Patent AU-4892802-A (AU)
Title: Composite closure having disk tightening feature
Inventor: GERMAN GALEN
IPC: B65D41/34
Filed: 2002-06-25
Abstract: A composite closure includes a band and an insert disk. A contact surface urges downwardly against the disk even while the band moves longitudinally relative to the disk or container. The closure has a fully tightened position in which the band's ring contacts the disk's annular channel, a loose position in which the ring is spaced apart from the annular channel, and an intermediate tightened position in which the ring is spaced apart from the disk and the contact surface urges against the curl. Another composite closure includes plural fins or gussets. The fins or gussets engage the peripheral curl of the insert disk to secure the band to the disk, which provides a resistance to initial unscrewing of the band. The disengagement torque required to disengage the curl from the fins may enable the closure to function as a one-piece closure.

Title: Process for adjusting the moisture content of tobacco
Inventor: WINTERSON WARREN D
IPC: A23L7/10
Filed: 1993-11-01
Abstract: A process for reordering tobacco, which results in no significant decrease in equilibrium tobacco CV or significant tobacco degradation, is provided. Tobacco to be reordered is contacted with an air stream having a relative humidity near the equilibrium conditions of the tobacco. As the ov content of the tobacco increases, the relative humidity of the air stream contacting the tobacco is increased to affect reordering of the tobacco. Also provided is a process for drying tobacco, which results in no significant change in equilibrium tobacco CV or significant tobacco degradation. Tobacco to be dried is contacted with an air stream having a relative humidity near or below the equilibrium conditions of the tobacco. As the OV content of the tobacco decreases, the relative humidity of the air stream contacting the tobacco is decreased to affect drying of the tobacco. It has been found that tobacco can be reordered or dried successfully in a continuous manner using a self-stacking spiral conveyor. <IMAGE>

Title: Method to produce sodium percarbonate
Inventor: DOTSCH WERNER
IPC: B01J2/00
Filed: 1997-12-12
Abstract: A method for the "dry" production of sodium percarbonate (dry process), in which monohydrate crystals of sodium carbonate are reacted with a quasi-stoichiometric quantity of concentrated aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution, relative to the quantity of active oxygen required in the sodium percarbonate to be produced. This method can be combined to great advantage with subsequent compaction of the sodium percarbonate obtained. Sodium percarbonate products containing varying concentrations of active oxygen of at least 10 weight percent, particularly high active oxygen concentrations of above 14.5 weight percent, can be produced. The resulting sodium percarbonate products are distinguished in that they have remarkably advantageous dissolution rates, stabilities and compatibility with detergent bases, and are superior to conventional sodium percarbonates obtained, for example, by a crystallization process. The invention also relates to the sodium percarbonate products obtained and to detergent compositions containing such sodium percarbonate products.

Title: Method and installation for producing granulates of polyfunctional carboxylic acids and alcohols, especially pet granulates
Inventor: GEIER RUDOLF
IPC: C08G63/88
Filed: 1999-10-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing especially PET granulates, wherein terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol are fed in the form of a precondensate into a drip tower having a distributing drip nozzle after esterification and pre-polycondensation with the purpose of effecting granulation. The precondensate exits the distributing drip nozzle by forming drop-shaped pellets that are blown by a hot countercurrent nitrogen stream reducing the velocity of fall and accelerating crystallization at an increasing degree of crystallization. Dried, semi-crystallized round pellets are thus produced that are then subjected to solid phase polycondensation resulting in pellets possessing high viscosity and quality for further processing.

Title: Fibre optic sensor
Inventor: DAKIN JOHN PHILIP
IPC: G02B6/00
Filed: 1999-10-11
Abstract: A Sagnac or loop type interferometer is disclosed which uses a single broadband Erbium-doped fibre source (10) and a single IngaAs detector (150) together with a 40 km long sensor loop (90). A wavelength division multiplexer (50) spectrally slices the broadband light from the source (10) into two sub-bands, with different optical paths being defined between the source (10) and detector (150) for the light in the different spectrally sliced sub-bands. The two optical paths include separate phase modulators (70, 130) which modulate the two signals at different frequencies, and also separate delay loops (60, 130) at different places relative to the sensor loop (90). Effectively, two separate Sagnac loops are provided with a single sensor loop (90), source (10) and detector (150). Standard phase locked loop techniques can be used to extract information from signals that have passed through the two loops and to determine the location of a mechanical or thermal perturbation applied to the sensor loop (90).

Title: Swabbable needleless low reflux injection port system
Inventor: RYAN DANA WM
IPC: A61M39/02
Filed: 1999-10-01
Abstract: A needleless IV injection port assembly includes a spiked body provided with a hollow spike, a female luer component, a flexible and resilient spike boot having a tip and spring portion, a centering member, and a-resilient swabbable septum. The spike boot extends over the spike, the centering member is provided over a portion of the spike and spike boot, and the septum is provided between the centering member and an end of the female luer component. The spiked body and the female luer component are secured together to complete the assembly. The length of the female luer component and/or the length of the spike is chosen so that when a separate male luer is positioned over a protuberance on the septum and pushed into the female luer component, the male luer places pressure upon the septum which thereby urges the septum toward the spike. The pressure on the septum causes the spring portion of the boot to be compressed and the tip portion of the boot to be pierced by the tip of the spike. As the septum is further compressed, the septum extends over the spike, with a pre-slit hole in the septum facilitating the extension thereover, such that a hollow of the spike is in fluid communication with the male luer connector. The injection port causes minimal reflux, and the spike boot and septum provide a swabbable antibacterial double barrier over the spike.
