Patent AU-1834895-A (AU)
Title: Packaged strain actuator
Inventor: LAZARUS KENNETH B
IPC: H01L41/311
Filed: 1995-01-27
Abstract: A modular actuator assembly includes one or more plates or elements of electro-active material bonded to an electroded sheet, preferably by a structural polymer to form a card. The card is sealed, and may itself constitute a practical device, such as a vane, shaker, stirrer, lever, pusher or sonicator for direct contact with a solid or immersion in a fluid, or may be bonded by a stiff adhesive to make a surface-to-surface mechanical coupling with a solid workpiece,device, substrate, machine or sample. The structural polymer provides a bending stiffness such that the thin plate does not deform to its breaking point, and a mechanical stiffness such that shear forces are efficiently coupled from the plate to the workpiece. In further embodiments, the card may include active circuit elements for switching, powering or processing signals, and/or passive circuit elements for filtering, matching or damping signals, so that few or no connections to outside circuitry are required. The actuator assembly can be manufactured in quantity, to provide a versatile actuator with uniform mechanical and actuation characteristics, that introduces negligible mass loading to the workpiece. The cards themselves may be arranged as independent mechanical actuators, rather than strain-transfer actuators, in which the induced strain changes the position of the card. Various arrangements of pinned or cantilevered cards may act as a pusher, bender or other motive actuator, and structures such as powered bellows may be formed directly by folding one or more suitably patterned cards.

Patent AU-2518484-A (AU)
Title: Panels
IPC: B29K103/00
Filed: 1984-03-01
Abstract: To produce a panel of variable thickness, a stratified assembly of a layer of fibers containing a non-polymerized binder and at least one cover sheet is placed between the mold and mold-backing of a molding press. The stratified assembly is caused to conform to the interior surface of the mold or mold-backing by forcing the cover sheet against the mold or mold-backing interior. Hot air is blown into the fiber layer from the mold surface opposite the cover sheet, into at least the region that will correspond to the area of greater thickness. The direction of the heated air is reversed after a period of time, the blowing of the air being maintained and adjusted in order to secure polymerization of the binder. At the same time, the portions of the panel corresponding to areas of lesser thickness, generally the edges of an acoustical panel, are cured (the binder polymerized) by contact heating means. To effect cross-over blowing, both the mold and mold-backing are provided with ports through which heated air may be blown or passed.

Patent AU-3392201-A (AU)
Title: Lock
Inventor: COWPER BRIAN EDWARD
IPC: E05B65/06
Filed: 2001-02-22
Abstract: A lock for a door comprising a casing, a bolt operable to extend from or retract into the casing and manually operable bolt retention means to retain the bolt in its retracted state even when an automatically operating bolt holding member is released by inwards movement of a bolt release member. The bolt retention means comprises a snib having a part receivable in an opening in the bolt when the bolt is manually moved into the case from its normally retracted position. Once the snib part is in the opening and the inwards force on the bolt removed, the spring acting on the bolt moves the bolt to its normally retracted position, where it is then retained by the snib. To release the retention, the bolt is again moved further into the case, whereupon the snib part is moved clear of the bolt opening under spring bias, and the unretained bolt is moved by its bias to its normally retracted position.

IPC: A61L26/00
Filed: 1985-03-29
Abstract: An orthopedic device (10), especially a hip joint prosthesis (10) comprising a stem and a spherical head, is formed from a composite material (42, 44) which is reinforced with continuous filament or carbon fibers (26) to provide the material with high flexural strength, hydrolytic stability and a medical grade quality. The stem and spherical head can be formed from a composite block (54). In the alternative, the stem alone can be formed from the block and a head of another material attached to one end of the stem. Sheets of carbon fibers held together by a polymer are rolled in a spiral configuration about an axial direction to form the stem and then molded under heat and pressure. The resulting composite is then machined to form the orthopedic device. <IMAGE>
