Title: Electronically controlled roll towel dispenser with data communication system
Inventor: OMDOLL PAUL A
IPC: A47K10/36
Filed: 2000-04-20
Abstract: An electronically controlled roll towel dispenser (10), optionally with a data communication system, wherein the dispenser automatically dispenses a predetermined length of paper toweling from the supply roll after a length of toweling has been detached by a user pulling and tearing the protruding toweling against a stationary cutting blade. The dispenser can be battery powered by an electric motor, an electromechanical dispensing mechanism, and an embedded microcontroller for controlling and monitoring operation of the dispenser. In addition to primary control functions, the microcontroller monitors parameters such as battery condition, towel usage, system status, system errors, and unsafe operating conditions. Pushbutton switches are also provided for programming towel length and the dispense delay. The dispenser further includes an optical transmitter for transmitting visual and infrared data to a receiving device. Useful information about the status of the dispenser can be visibly discerned by an operator through the use of primitive low-speed flash patterns, while high-speed infrared digital data can be simultaneously embedded in or multiplexed with the visible data.

Title: (Composite) membranes of solid polyelectrolytes bearing phosphoric acid groups and processes for their production
Inventor: ITO IKO
IPC: C08F212/14
Filed: 2001-10-19
Abstract: A solid proton-conductive polymer electrolyte membrane for fuel cells and processes for their production is disclosed. As solid proton-conductive polymer electrolyte materials, there have been known fluoropolymers which have perfluoroskeletons and side chains bearing sulfonic acid groups and heat-resistant resins which have hydrocarbon skeletons and contain alkylsulfonic acid or alkylphosphoric acid groups introduced thereto. The fluoropolymers are excellent in heat resistance and chemical resistance but have the problem of being expensive, while the heat-resistant resins have the problem of being poor in chemical resistance. Further, solid proton-conductive polymer electrolyte materials having higher electric conductivities have been desired. With the purpose of providing solid proton-conductive polymer electrolyte membranes having satisfactorily high electric conductivities and being excellent in heat resistance and chemical resistance and processes for producing the membranes, solid proton-conductive polymer electrolyte membranes are made from resins bearing both phosphoric acid groups and sulfonic acid groups which resins are obtained by copolymerizing a monomer bearing in the molecule a phosphoric acid group and an ethylenically unsaturated bond with a monomer bearing in the molecule a sulfonic acid group and an ethylenically unsaturated bond.

Patent NZ-532559-A (NZ)
Title: Fluid delivery system
Inventor: HONEYMAN TREVOR
IPC: E03B7/04
Filed: 2002-09-12
Abstract: A fluid delivery system is described where sterile liquid is delivered efficiently to a number of remote locations while maintaining a continuous flow in order to prevent any bacterial growth. The system includes a storage tank 52 feeding a pipework loop 54, where the loop 54 returns the liquid to the tank 52, a pump 60 providing the means for fluid flow in the loop 54, and a return manifold 64. The system also includes at least one pipework branch 56 fed from the tank 52. The branch 56 has a second pump 62 and terminates at a branch manifold 66. Between the branch manifold 66 and return manifold 64 are connected one or more supply hoses 64C, 66C interrupted by an offtake component 68 which is a simple valve opening through which the liquid can be selectively delivered at the desired location. When one or more offtakes 68 are opened, the conventional fluid flow in the hose which links that offtake to the return manifold is reversed on account of the pressures at which the two pumps in the pipework loop 54 and the pipework branches 56 operate. This type of operation allows as many or as few offtakes in the system to be opened simultaneously without any practical reduction in the availability of liquid.
Patent NZ-534375-A (NZ)
Title: Shellfish farming
Inventor: DOW BASIL SIMPSON
IPC: A01K61/00
Filed: 2004-07-30
Abstract: A string of parallel oyster trays (1) are buoyantly supported by floats (4) at each end. These floats and the associated trays are attached to parallel wires secured at their ends (3) so that they are at the surface level of water in which the trays are buoyantly supported by the floats. The floats are moveable between stable positions at which the trays are pendently supported between them so that the oysters are carried just beneath the water surface and stable, positions at which the floats locate beneath opposite-end portions of the trays. The buoyancy of the floats when in the latter positions is such that the oysters in the trays are held slightly above the level of the water surface. Movement of the floats between their two stable positions is carried by arrangements supported by a punt which is driven alongside the string of trays when the floats are to be moved between their two positions.

Patent NZ-538302-A (NZ)
Title: System and method for transmitting control information over an AC power network
Inventor: HAINES ANTONY VINCENT
Filed: 2005-02-16
Abstract: Digital information is transmitted via a power supply network in accordance with a simulated digital waveform carrying digital information injected into the power supply network by a high voltage injector 4b, the simulated digital waveform having been generated by a generator 4a that builds the waveform out of predetermined harmonic frequencies of a signal frequency that is not a harmonic of power frequency. The high voltage injector includes drive stage transistors coupled to the power supply network and a chopping unit that rapidly turns the drive stage transistors on and off in conformance with the shape of a low frequency waveform. This permits an increase of the life expectancy of the transmitting equipment and control of heating of the transistors by altering the duty cycle, whilst maintaining broadcast of the digital signal to the receivers for much of the time assuring reliability of transmission to the receivers. The invention is especially suitable for the broadcast of standard time signals to many receivers across the power supply network as well as other types of control signals.
Patent NZ-538430-A (NZ)
Title: Powder inhaler
Inventor: PINON JOHN
IPC: G06M1/24
Filed: 2003-07-30
Abstract: A powder inhaler comprises a container (7) for storing a powdered medicament, a metering member (15) having a dosing recess (18) to be filled with a dose of the powdered medicament, and a mouthpiece (3) being in communication with an inhalation channel (27) of the powder inhaler. Furthermore, the powder inhaler comprises a protective member (19) which is slidingly moveable on the metering member (15) between a closed position, in which it at least covers the dosing recess (18) of the metering member (15) if the metering member (15) is in an inhalation position, and an open position, in which it exposes the dosing recess (18) thereby enabling inhalation of the dose of the powdered medicament contained in the dosing recess (18). The protective member (19) is preferably coupled to an inhalation actuated mechanism (21-23) in such a manner that the inhalation actuated mechanism (21-23) moves the protective member (19) from its closed position to its open position only if there is an inhalation suction force exerted by a user which exceeds a predetermined level. This prevents the dose contained in the dosing recess (18) from falling out of the dosing recess, unless there is no inhalation process initiated by the user. Therefore, the powder inhaler can also be operated reliably upside down. Furthermore, a deagglomerator arrangement (cyclone), which may be incorporated in such a powder inhaler, is proposed which comprises a vortex chamber (73) having a diameter between 6 mm and 8 mm, preferably 8 mm.
