Patent AU-4150993-A (AU)
Title: A beverage package and a method of packaging a beverage
Inventor: LYNCH FRANCIS JOSEPH
IPC: B65D79/00
Filed: 1993-06-24
Abstract: A beverage package and a method of packaging a beverage such as beer containing gas in solution has a container can 1 having a primary chamber 1A charged with beer 14 to form a small headspace 15. The can 1 is sealed and includes a submerged insert 8 forming a relief chamber 6 which is sealed by a closure 11. The insert 8 is responsive to heat applied during pasteurisation which causes the closure 11 to open the relief chamber so that the latter can accommodate beer derived from the primary chamber 1A to provide an enlarged headspace 15A. The small headspace 15 initially provided facilitates removal of air therefrom prior to sealing of the container while the enlarged headspace 15A is adequate to accommodate froth or foam developed by the intentional liberation of gas from solution in the beer. An insert part 7 forming a secondary chamber 5 may be provided for injecting gas or liquid into the beer to liberate gas therefrom for froth or foam development in the enlarged headspace. The relief chamber 6 may contain gas under pressure so that when opened to the primary chamber the release of such gas pressurises the enlarged headspace 15A. The insert part 7 may be located within the relief chamber 6. <IMAGE>

Title: Hammer device
Inventor: ANDERSSON KURT
IPC: B25D9/14
Filed: 1999-04-07
Abstract: A hammer device has a machine housing (1) with a hammer piston (2) movable to-and-fro. The to-and-fro movement of the hammer piston is controlled by a valve body (6) movable to-and-fro in the machine housing. The valve body, via a channel (7), alternatively connects a drive surface (5) on the hammer piston to a pressure source (8) and to low pressure (9). In order to expedite the actuation of the hammer piston at its rear dead center, the machine housing has a room (10) which is separated from the channel (7) by the hammer piston at the same time that the valve body (6) maintains the pressure from the pressure source (8) on the rear end surface (5) of the hammer piston.

Title: Cell/tissue culturing device and method
Inventor: SHAALTIEL YOSEPH
IPC: C12M3/02
Filed: 1997-09-26
Abstract: A disposable device and method for axenically culturing and harvesting cells and/or tissue in consecutive cycles. The device consist of a sterilizable transparent and/or translucent disposable container which may be at least partially filled with a suitable sterile biological cell and/or tissue culture medium and/or axenic inoculant and/or sterile air and/or required other sterile additives. The container has means for removing excess air and/or waste gases therefrom, and means for introducing the inoculant and/or culture medium and/or additives therein. The device also has at least one air inlet, and preferably a plurality thereof, for introducing sterile air into the device. The device is characterised by having a reusable harvesting means comprising suitable flow control means for enabling harvesting of at least a portion of the medium containing cells and/or tissue when desired, thereby enabling the device to be used continuously for at least one subsequent consecutive culturing/harvesting cycle. The portion of medium containing cells and/or tissue remaining from a previously harvested cycle may serve as inoculant for a next culture and harvest cycle, culture medium and/or additives being provided. The device may thus be used continuously in consecutive cycles, and may be disposed of when it becomes contaminated. In a second aspect of the invention, a battery of these devices, suitably interconnected, enables the scale of production of cells/tissues to be adjusted when required.
Patent AU-4380697-A (AU)
Title: Rubber teat
Inventor: MAIER JAKOB
IPC: A01J5/08
Filed: 1997-08-21
Abstract: A teat rubber cup comprising a head member substantially rotationally symmetric with a longitudinal axis, with an aperture for insertion of the teat, a retaining edge to engage over a teat cup sleeve, and a suction stub joined to the head member, the end of the head member opposite the teat insertion aperture merging into the retaining edge. The wall of the head member is stiffened in a region located between the teat insertion aperture and the transition to the retaining edge, and the upper end of the suction stub merges into this stiffened part of the head member. The part of the teat rubber cup head located between the stiffened part and the retaining edge is made at least partly elastic. During the suction phase a compressive force acts on the section of the head member located between the stiffened part of the head member and the retaining edge, the force endeavouring to move that section towards the outside of the suction stub. An upward movement of the teat cup sleeve then takes place, while in the relief phase a slight downward movement of the sleeve takes place relative to the teat.

Title: Bi-directional process-to-process byte stream protocol
Inventor: DIXON MICHAEL D
IPC: G06F13/00
Filed: 1999-06-09
Abstract: A client system stores messages (710) and sends the messages to a server system. The messages are included in a request formatted (720) according to a protocol that can traverse a firewall. The server system also stores messages and sends the messages to the client system. The server system waits for a first request and a second request from the client system (740). If the first request has been received and a particular number of messages have accumulated at the server system, then the server system will send a response corresponding to the first request. If the second request is received (740), the server system will send the response (760) corresponding to the first request even if no messages have accumulated. The next time the client system sends a request, the request will include an indication of which messages the client system received from the server system in the last response.

Title: Speed control apparatus for storage disc
Inventor: DAKIN WAYNE RAY
IPC: G11B19/24
Filed: 1979-11-15
Abstract: Method and apparatus for recovering information at a substantially constant rate from a rotable information storage disc (110). The information is stored on the disc (110) in a plurality of substantially circular and concentrically arranged information tracks, with a substantially uniform recording density, and it is recovered by controllably rotating the disc, relative to a transducer (128) at an angular velocity substantially inversely proportional to the radius of the corresponding track. The apparatus includes a coarse speed control potentiometer (130) for producing a measure of the radius of the particular information track from which information is being recovered, and fine speed control means (136) for comparing the relative phase angles of a periodic signal in the recovered information and a periodic reference signal and for producing a fine speed control signal proportional to the phase difference. The measure of radius and the fine speed control signal are summed together and coupled to a voltage-controlled oscillator (132) to produce a composite speed control signal, which is coupled to a servo (134) to rotate the disc (110) at a corresponding angular velocity.

Filed: 2001-06-21
Abstract: A hypodermic syringe (10) with a selectively retractable needle (56) includes an elongate barrel (12) defining a receiver (18) and a hollow bore (20). The syringe has a plunger (22) with an elongate cavity (34) open to the proximal end. The plunger is sized to fit within the bore of the barrel for a slidable movement to define a chamber (36) for receiving and expelling fluids. The inside diameter of the cavity in the plunger is sufficient to accept telescopically at least a part of a first portion (26) of the plunger. A second portion (32) and the first portion are joined at an attachment (38) to form a shoulder (40) extending outwardly from the first portion, with the plunger being telescopically collapsible by movement of the second portion into the cavity by of sufficient distal force to frangibly disrupt the attachment. The syringe includes an elongate sleeve (42) sized to fit over the first portion of the plunger and extend from the shoulder. The plunger includes a stopper (44) to a form fluid tight seal with the barrel. The sleeve has a cutting surface (46) inside of the stopper. The syringe includes a hub (50) with a proximal flange (52) and a passageway (54) within the receiver. The syringe has a needle with a pointed distal end mounted in the passageway of the hub extending distally outwardly. When sufficient distal force is applied to collapse the plunger, the cutting surface of the sleeve cuts through the stopper and through the flange of the hub and releases it from the receiver to retract the needle. <IMAGE>
