Patent AU-5857799-A (AU)
Title: Electronic circuit
Inventor: FILIPPI RAYMOND A
IPC: H03K19/018
Filed: 1999-09-01
Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic circuit, and in particular embodiments to a level shifting circuit having an output common mode voltage independent of the input common mode voltage, and unity differential signal gain. The circuit receives first and second input voltages, referenced to a first voltage supply rail, and has first and second resistors, each connected to the first input terminal, and third and fourth resistors, each connected to the second input terminal, the second and third resistors having equal resistance values. The first resistor is also connected to a first output terminal, the fourth resistor is also connected to a second output terminal, and the second and third resistors are also connected together at a reference node. A first current source draws a current through the first resistor, a second current source draws a current through the fourth resistor, and a third current source draws a current through the second and third resistors and the reference node, and sets a reference voltage, referenced to the second voltage supply rail, at the reference node. The first and fourth resistors, and the first and third current sources, are such that the voltage drops across the first and fourth resistors are equal.

Title: Cuvette
Inventor: GROB J
IPC: G01N21/03
Filed: 1980-05-30
Abstract: A cuvette for holding a liquid to be examined optically has front, back, and side walls defining a rectangular cross section and a Y-shaped structure at the bottom thereof for holding the liquid. The Y-shaped structure extends between transparent front and back walls with an upper funnel mouth extending to the side walls, and a liquid holding portion formed of inner walls spaced between the side walls, and extending down to a rounded, tub-shaped bottom. The front walls are transparent and serve also to form the front and back of the liquid holding portion.

Patent AU-6592494-A (AU)
Title: Bearing free spring free throttle position sensor
Inventor: PFAFFENBERGER DAVID S
IPC: F02D35/00
Filed: 1994-06-23
Abstract: The rotor of a rotary position sensor mounts directly upon the rotary shaft to be sensed. The rotor prior to installation is retained in position by a pair of small protrusions extending from the rotor that cooperatively engage a pair of small indentations formed in a pair of supporting arms. During the installation process, the rotor is slipped onto the shaft and the protrusions are released from the engaged position. During operation of the position sensor, the rotor is free from direct contact with either the supporting arms or any other stationary part of the position sensor. Only the contactors engage the stationary components. This design eliminates the need for bearings and return springs prevalent in the prior art. <IMAGE>

Patent AU-6948500-A (AU)
Title: Method and apparatus for detecting zero rate frames in a communications system
Inventor: CHEN TAO
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2000-08-31
Abstract: Techniques for detecting zero rate frames in a received data transmission. A modulated signal is received and demodulated in accordance with a particular demodulation format to generate demodulated symbols. The demodulated symbols are partitioned into a number of received frames. For each received frame, a quality metric is computed and compared against a threshold value. The threshold value is selected based, in part, on the quality metrics of received frames. Based on the comparison result, the received frame is indicated as being either transmitted and received in error (i.e., erased or bad) or not transmitted at all (i.e., zero rate or empty). The quality metric can relate to an energy of a received frame, a distance between a received frame and a codeword corresponding to the received frame, or other metrics. The threshold value can be selected based on the quality metrics computed for decoded frames or received frames identified as good, and can be dynamically adjusted based on current information available at the receiver. The method is advantageously used in a CDMA communications system.

Patent AU-7178287-A (AU)
Title: Remote administration of hyaluronic acid to mammals
Inventor: SCHULTZ RICHARDT H
IPC: C08B37/08
Filed: 1987-04-15
Abstract: The present disclosure is concerned with the discovery that hyaluronic acid, an agent well known to reduce the sequelae of trauma in mammalian joint tissue when applied directly to the traumatized tissue, will be carried to such traumatized tissue by the mammal's natural processes if applied at a site remote from the traumatized tissue. Thus, hyaluronic acid, in any therapeutically acceptable form, can be administered by the typical remote routes including intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous and topical. This makes the utilization of hyaluronic acid much more convenient and attractive. For instance the treatment of arthritis in horse or human joints with hyaluronic acid no longer requires more difficult intra articular injections.
