Title: Color conversion method for compact printer system
Inventor: WALMSLEY SIMON ROBERT
IPC: H04N5/76
Filed: 2000-05-24
Abstract: A modular camera and printer is disclosed. A camera module is provided having an image sensor for capturing an image in a RGB format. The camera module also has a central processing unit with program memory for storing program steps for execution by the central processing unit to operate the camera module, and an image storage memory for storing the captured image in the RGB format. An image processing unit of the camera module is in communication with the image storage memory and transforms image data in the image storage memory into a L*a*b* format. The camera module also has a serial bus for outputting transformed image data in the L*a*b* format. A printer module is provided also having a serial bus in communication with the serial bus of the camera module. The printer module receives the image data from the camera module in the L*a*b* format, converts the image data to a color space of the printer module, and then prints the image data on a printhead.
Patent AU-4945690-A (AU)
Title: Hybrid seed production
Inventor: BRIDGES IAN GEORGE
IPC: C12N15/10
Filed: 1990-01-26
Abstract: Male sterility is imparted to a plant by a cascade of gene sequences which expresses a protein which disrupts the biosynthesis of viable pollen. Expression of the disrupter protein is restricted to male parts of the plant by an upstream promoter sequence which is specific to male flowers, the male specific promoter being under control of an operator sequence. The cascade also includes a gene encoding a repressor protein specific for that operator. Expression of the repressor protein is under control of a chemically inducible promoter which is inducible by the application to the plant by, spraying or like process, of an exogenous chemical. In the absence of the exogenous chemical inducer, no repressor protein is expressed, resulting in expression of the disrupter protein and, consequently, male sterility. Fertility may be restored to the plant, when required for maintenance of the line, by spraying with the inducer, resulting in expression of the repressor which binds the operator and inhibits expression of the disrupter protein.

Title: Spraying apparatus
Inventor: JACKSON ALISTAIR JAMES
IPC: B05B3/18
Filed: 1985-12-11
Abstract: An apparatus for spraying liquids from a vehicle, suitably an aircraft or other airborne vehicle. The apparatus includes at least two sprayheads, each having adjacent thereto an associated electrode or an associated electrically conducting or semiconducting part of the vehicle. Generator means apply potentials to the sprayheads and to the electrodes or conducting or semiconducting parts of the vehicle so that an intense electrical field is developed between the liquid which emerges from each sprayhead and the adjacent electrode or part. The intensity of each field is sufficient to atomise the emerging liquid. The polarities of the applied potentials are such that liquid emerging from one sprayhead is charged positively whilst liquid emerging from the other sprayhead is charged negatively. Connections to the generating means are such that electrical current flows from a target to the generating means via spraying liquid and one of the sprayheads and then back to the target via the generating means, the other sprayhead and liquid emerging from the other sprayhead.

Patent AU-5449698-A (AU)
Title: Intraocular lens folder
Inventor: BROWN KYLE
IPC: A61F2/16
Filed: 1997-11-18
Abstract: A single piece intraocular lens folder that has a generally planar, open frame in the shape of a rounded "A" with a rimmed, open head at the top of the "A". The base of the "A" forms a pairs of opposing legs or handles that join to form a hinge at the intersection where the handles attach to the head. The hinge allows the handle to be squeezed together and spring apart when released. Squeezing the handles together causes the sides of the head to spread apart, thereby stretching the top edge of the head rim and pulling the top edge downward toward the hinge. The open head contains a pair of support jaws and a pair of serpentine folding jaws. The location of the serpentine jaws is such that when the top edge of the head rim moves toward the hinge, the serpentine jaws are squeezed together, causing the IOL to be folded in half. The serpentine shape of the folding jaws allow the haptics to pivot downward, thereby permitting the IOL to be folded along a plurality of axes.

Title: Cellulose food casing manufacturing method
Inventor: KAJIWARA EDWARD MAKOTO
IPC: B29C48/32
Filed: 1998-03-24
Abstract: Tubular extrusion (16) of thermoplastic solution, composed of non-derivative cellulose, tertiary amine oxide cellulose solvent, and water, is initiated by extruding the solution down from an annular die (12) through an air gap (24) of at least 304 mm into an outer bath (20) of non-solvent liquid to form a seamless extruded tube. The solvent is extruded about a mandrel (26) depending from the die, with a smaller diameter shaft (28) and a larger lower end (30). The mandrel shaft can be extended to change the spacing of its lower end from the die. The shaft is withdrawn into the die to locate the lower end of the mandrel above the surface (22) of the non-solvent liquid in the outer bath and extrusion starts with the lower end above the surface. The leading end (36) of the extruded tube is drawn along the mandrel, over the mandrel end, through the space between the end and the liquid surface, and down into the bath while extending the shaft from the die until the lower end of the mandrel is located in the non-solvent liquid. Also claimed is apparatus for the above process.

In the first molten bath reaction vessel, the carbonaceous material is thermally devolatilized. Part of the first melt from the first reaction vessel containing non-volatile constituents is passed to the second molten bath reaction vesel which contains a different melt at a higher temperature. The two melts are only partially soluble in each other so that they can be easily separated. Oxygen, air or oxides are charged to the second reaction vessel for gasifying residual quantities of carbon by oxidation. The first melt is returned to the first reaction vessel from the second reaction vessel. The melt in the first reaction vessel may comprise lead or zinc and be maintained at a temperature of 500 DEG  C., while the melt in the second reaction vessel may comprise raw iron and be maintained at a temperature of 1200 DEG  C.

Title: Noninvasive pulsed infrared spectrophotometer
Inventor: BRAIG JAMES R
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 1994-01-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring glucose, ethyl alcohol and other blood constituents in a noninvasive manner. The measurements are made by monitoring infrared absorption of the desired blood constituent in the long infrared wavelength range where the blood constituent has a strong and distinguishable absorption spectrum. The long wavelength infrared energy is passed through a finger or other vascularized appendage and the measurement made. To prevent the high energy source from burning or causing patient discomfort, only short bursts or pulses of energy are sent through the finger with a very low duty cycle and low optical bandwidth. The bursts are further synchronized with systole and diastole of the cardiac cycle so that only two pulses are sent per heart beat, one during diastole and one during systole. The detection signals measured during application of these bursts of energy are then used to calculate the concentration of the blood constituents in accordance with a polynomial equation.

Title: Biotechnological continuous process for hydrolysis of carbohydrates with simultaneous further processing of products resulting from the decomposition of micro-organisms
Inventor: TRAMM-WERNER SABINE
IPC: C12P7/18
Filed: 1986-09-18
Abstract: A process enables production of ethanol, butyl alcohol, acetone, lactic acids and glycerine from substrates normally not fermentable during a single fermentation stage by the simultaneous addition of hydrolysing and immobilizing enzymes and flock-type bacteria in a tower reactor. For this purpose enzyme flocks are produced having similar physical properties to those of bacteria flocks, and they are introduced with the latter in the tower reactor. The reactor comprises a widened end piece and a cylinder inserted in the latter so that the product which overflows out of the cylinder is in a non-turbulent region. The enzymes thus remain in the reaction chamber and the bacteria become richer without the need for filters or membranes.
