Patent AU-2020388-A (AU)
Title: Calcium-supplemented beverages and beverage concentrates containing low levels of sulfate
IPC: A23L1/304
Filed: 1988-07-29
Abstract: Beverages and beverage concentrates nutritionally supplemented with significant levels of solubilized calcium and containing low levels of sulfate, preferably in combination with low levels of chloride, are disclosed. These beverages and concentrates also contain specified levels of edible acids selected from phosphoric acid, citric acid, malic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, gluconic acid, and lactic acid, as well as mixtures of these acids. The particular acid systems are selected to provide the desired flavor and sourness character for the beverages and concentrates. Inclusion of low levels of sulfate/chloride in these beverages and concentrates provides a quicker onset of sourness, prevents or reduces aftertaste effects and improves the solubility of the calcium, particularly when high levels of phosphoric acid or citric acid are used. Inclusion of sulfate/chloride also prevents or reduces the precipitation and deposition of calcium salts on equipment surfaces during the pasteurization or sterilization of calcium-containing fruit juice beverages.

Title: Cleaning equipment
Inventor: YOUNG RONALD ALEXANDER
IPC: A47L13/58
Filed: 1988-10-05
Abstract: Cleaning equipment comprises a container 1 from which cleaning liquid 2 is taken, and to which the liquid is returned after it has been used for dirt removal. The container 1 is provided with a dirt trap comprising a dirt-receiving element 3 of mat or pad-like form which is positioned in the container 1 to receive dirt settling under gravity from the contained liquid 2.

Patent AU-2471997-A (AU)
Title: End hook for power return tape measure
Inventor: REEDY MARVIN W
IPC: G01B3/10
Filed: 1997-06-04
Abstract: An end hook for a power return tape measure includes a shank having a longitudinal axis and a catch extending from the shank at an angle to the longitudinal axis.

Patent AU-2716995-A (AU)
Title: Safety apparatus
Inventor: COULTER IAN JAMES HAMILTON
IPC: G01R31/28
Filed: 1995-07-25
Abstract: A ventilator (12) includes a vent (34) having at least a first, closed, state and an emergency, open, state and movable between them by actuators (57) under the control of a local controller (18). The actuators, for example electric motors, are powered solely by a local energy storage means, for example a battery, arranged to be recharged at a rate which is smaller than the rate of discharge when powering the actuators. A monitoring means determines if the energy in the energy storage means has fallen below a first threshold and provides a visual indication of this condition. The controller has a first control mode in which it is not able to move the ventilator (12) to the emergency state except in response to emergency commands, only, and a second control mode in which it is able to move the ventilator between the first state and the emergency mode in response to non-emergency commands to provide day-to-day ventilation, for example. The controller is moved to its first control mode if the battery charge level drops below a second predetermined threshold thereby preventing day-to-day ventilation but allowing opening of the ventilator in the event of a fire. <MATH>

Title: Resistance spot welding control device and method
Inventor: KAESELER WERNER
IPC: B23K11/25
Filed: 2001-02-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a control device for spot welding with a welding electrode pincer (Z), the welding electrodes (E 1 , E 2 ) of which are connect to a welding current generator (IS) and an electric motor drive (M), with a rotary transducer (RES), the signal of which is used by a control device (MP) to control the welding electrode pincer (Z). The closed state of said pincer holds the objects for welding (B 1 , B 2 ) together, by means of a pre-set motor current (MAI), whereupon the welding current generator (IS) is activated. The control device (MP) comprises monitoring devices (const, max), to which the rotary transducer signals (RES) and/or a motor current measured signal (I(t)) are constantly supplied. Once a quasi-constant state is recognized, following a close signal for the welding electrode pincer (Z), a corresponding first state is recorded as the closed state and the welding current generator (IS) activated. Thereafter, as soon as the exceeding of a maximum value is reported, a further closed state is recorded, the welding current generator (IS) deactivated and a holding timer unit (CTT) activated, after the expiration (end) of which the on- and off-control of the welding electrode pincers is activated again.

Date Mar. 14, 1996A method and apparatus for recovering fine solids from a liquid feed suspension is disclosed. The apparatus has an operating cycle including a concentration part of the cycle in which solids present in the feed suspension are concentrated and a backwash part of the cycle in which supply of feed suspension to the concentrator is interrupted, the concentrator comprises a shell (11), and a plurality of elastic, hollow, microporous, polymer fibers (12) being fixed at their ends within the shell (11). Pressurized feed suspension is supplied to the outside of the fibers during said concentration part of the cycle and the filtrate may be withdrawn from the fiber lumens during the operating cycle. During the backwash cycle the concentration part of the cycle is terminated by ceasing supply of feed to said exterior surface of the fibers (12). The shell (11) is then sealed and the remaining filtrate removed from the lumens. A source of fluid under pressure is then applied to said lumens before, at the same time as, or just after opening the shell (11) to atmosphere, to cause explosive decompression through the walls of the fibers (12) whereby the fluid under pressure passes through said walls. The pressure level in said lumens is maintained at a predetermined value for a sufficient time following said decompression to cause substantial portions of solids lodged within and/or on the fiber walls to be dislodged. The dislodged contaminant matter is then washed away by the application of a flow of liquid over the surface of the fiber walls; and the concentration part of the operating cycle is recommended by introducing the supply of feed suspension to said exterior surface of said fibers (12).
