Patent AU-710003-B2 (AU)
Title: Vacuum cleaner head
Inventor: SCHUPP ANDREAS
IPC: A47L5/24
Filed: 1997-02-04
Granted: 1999-09-09
Abstract: A vacuum cleaner head, for attachment directly to a vacuum cleaner body having a central longitudinal axis, has exposed bristles with remote ends on a plane off-set by about 70 DEG  to the central axis. The bristles 14 and IS extend along opposing sides of a lower surface of the head in strips at either side of a channel 18 through which dust and debris gathered up by the bristles passes into the vacuum body. The off-set plane means that when the body is held directly or by a handle, a natural comfortable sweeping action, with the handle axis at about 20 DEG  to the vertical, keeps both strips of bristle in contact with the swept surface. <IMAGE>

Title: Multiple mode personal wireless communications system
Inventor: ZICKER ROBERT G
IPC: H04M1/72505
Filed: 1995-01-31
Granted: 1998-03-26
Abstract: A multiple mode, personal, wireless communications system exists within a radiotelephone network serving general customers and provides additional services to a select group of customers. The system uses handsets (32) which automatically switch between a standard cellular radiotelephone mode of operation (1901) and an enhanced cordless mode (1420) when the handsets (32) are within range of pico cells (26) that are interconnected to the public switched telephone network (20). Each pico cell is controlled via a framework of overlay cells (10b) that operates independently of the radiotelephone network and uses a unique control protocol on a small number of reserved cellular channels. Each pico cell consists of a spectrally dynamic, non-capturing, frequency agile, multi-purpose base station (26) provided at customer-selected locations to cooperate with the overlay cell framework. Each pico cell is capable of supporting multiple handsets (32) and using low power operation that achieves limited coverage. Each pico cell reduces traffic on the standard cellular radiotelephone network by independently handling registered handsets (32). An alternate line option module (22) provides wireless local interconnect capability to selectively route call traffic between land lines (24) and the standard cellular radiotelephone network. Service control units (12) and host stations (17) facilitate wireless activation and control of each pico cell and handset (32) via the overlay cell framework.

Title: Methods and apparatus for making sandwich webs
Inventor: SCHOLLKOPF ERNST
IPC: B32B15/08
Filed: 1983-08-04
Granted: 1987-09-10
Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a sandwich web comprises first and second rotatable applicator rollers which are mounted so as to form an adjustable first roller nip therebetween adjacent adhesive applicator means which applies a film of adhesive to each of the applicator rollers for coating on respective sides of a substrate web. The apparatus includes a pivotal arm which contains a first laminating roller which forms a nip with the first applicator roller so that a laminating web may be fed thereover to engage the adhesive on one side of the substrate. In addition, a second laminating roller is contained by the pivotal arm and it may be brought into association with the first laminating roller to form a third roller nip so that a second liner may be laminated to the adhesive on the opposite face of the substrate. In accordance with the method of the invention the substrate is fed between the first roller nip and is coated on each side with an adhesive to a predetermined level which is regulated by the rotational speeds of the applicator rollers and it is thereafter directed over a portion of the surface of the first laminating roller so that the laminating web which is fed thereon is bonded to the adhesive on the one side of the substrate. The second liner is then fed on the opposite face with a second laminating roller which is arranged in association with the first laminating roller to define a third nip therewith. The rotational speeds of the laminating rollers in their adjustable positions relative to each other and to the applicator rollers permit selection of the film amount of adhesive and the bonding which is effected between the liners and the substrate.

Title: A method for producing ice cube bags
Inventor: VINKEL ERIK KYED
IPC: B31B160/10
Filed: 1997-03-21
Granted: 2000-05-18
Abstract: In a method for producing ice cube bags or similar bags two or more layers of plastic foil superimposed on each other are supplied from a plastic foil stock and are joined with at least one web of high temperature resistant material such as teflon to form a sandwich of the web of high temperature resistant material and the plastic foils. The sandwich is conveyed to a stamping or welding station in which it is subjected to a stamping or welding operation by applying pressure and heat to the exterior surface of the web of high temperature resistant material in specific areas corresponding to the intended stamped or welded areas of the finished ice cube bag, the web of high temperature resistant material serving as a pressure and temperature transmitting web, and the application of pressure and heat causing an at least partial melting of the mutually opposite surfaces of the plastic foils in the specific areas and causing the web to be pressed down into and adhere to the plastic foils in these areas. The sandwich is then conveyed from the stamping and welding station, keeping the web of high temperature resistant material adhered to the plastic foils for supporting the softened and at least partially melted plastic foils in order to prevent the plastic foils from being stretched during the conveyance, and the adhered web of high temperature resistant material is then stripped off the plastic foils after cooling the plastic foils to a sufficiently low temperature to prevent them from being deformed during conveyance. <IMAGE>

Title: Adjustable spinal tether
Inventor: DREWRY TROY D
IPC: A61B17/70
Filed: 2000-03-22
Granted: 2003-08-21
Abstract: An improved apparatus is provided to allow for an adjustable length tether for use in the spine and other parts of the body. The tether comprises an artificial strand with an eyelet formed in one end, the other end being looped through the eyelet. The other end is then secured with respect to the eyelet by a crimp, the excess length being cut off after the length of the tether has been given an appropriate tension. Alternatively, the eyelet end may be formed around a grommet. The crimp may be separate from the grommet or a part of the grommet. The mechanism by which the length is adjusted in some cases will take advantage of the shape memory properties of alloys such as nickel-titanium.

Title: Multivalent repressor of gene function
Inventor: BACHMAYER HELMUT
IPC: C12N15/49
Filed: 1990-05-23
Granted: 1994-04-21
Abstract: Transdominant repressors of viral gene phenotypic expression derived from the rev gene product of HIV-1 or the rex gene product of HTLV-1 and corresponding mutated genes are described', having the capability of repressing the Rev function in HIV-1 and/or the Rex function in HTLV-I and HTLV-II. Transient gene expression analysis of a series of missense and deletion mutants has been used. Some of the mutants found repress both the Rev and the Rex function and are thus active in more than one viral species. Transdominant viral mutants represent a promising new class of anti-viral agents. Cellular expression of these transdominant inhibitors may be used in such therapeutic approaches as intracellular immunization in order to protect cells against the deleterious effects of viral, e.g. HIV-1 infection.
