Patent AU-752789-B2 (AU)
Title: Improvements in herbicides
Inventor: INNES RODNEY MITCHELL
IPC: A01N31/06
Filed: 1999-04-21
Granted: 2002-10-03
Abstract: The presently claimed invention is directed to agricultural compositions which find primary use as a herbicide, through may also be used for pesticidal and fungicidal roles. The presently claimed invention comprises compositions combining monterpene compounds with fatty acid soaps. In particular monterpene alcohols are preferred as a primary phytoactive agent. Preferred embodiments are based on coniferous oils, such as pine oil, in combination with a tall oil reacted with an alkali to form a fatty acid soap. Preferred methods of application include spraying in a manner in which some foaming effect is observed, which appears to confer advantage over the spray application of monoterpene compounds alone.

Title: Absorbent article with elastic waist feature and enhanced absorbency
Inventor: ALEMANY MIGUEL
IPC: A61F13/49
Filed: 1993-02-08
Granted: 1997-06-05
Abstract: Absorbent article such as disposable diapers, incontinent briefs, diaper holders and the like, that have improved dynamic fit as well as containment characteristics. The elastic waist feature preferably comprises an interconnecting panel zone, a first flexural hinge zone joining the interconnecting panel zone with the containment assembly, an elasticized waistband, and a second flexural hinge zone joining the elasticized waistband with the interconnecting panel zone. The elasticized waistband comprises a shaping panel zone; a waistline panel zone; and a predisposed, resilient, waistband flexural hinge zone joining the shaping panel zone and the waistline panel zone. The waistband flexural hinge zone is predisposed to allow the panel zones to flexurally bend about a defined axis or zone and is resilient to provide a restoring force/moment that returns the panel zones to their preceeding in-use configuration, especially when the elasticized waistband has been pretensioned by a closure system. The closure system dynamically creates/maintains lateral tension through the elasticized waistband thereby allowing the elasticized waistband to more dynamically expand and contract with the motions of the wearer. The absorbent article additionally preferably comprises a pair of elasticized side panels disposed in the second waist region. The elasticized side panels preferably comprise a "zero strain" stretch laminate and an extension panel. The present invention also relates to alternative waist features comprising "an expansive tummy panel" elasticized waistband. The absorbent core comprises an acquisition/distribution core of chemically stiffened fibers and a storage core.

Title: Utilisation of a copper alloy capable of hardening
Inventor: GRAVEMANN HORST
IPC: B22D11/06
Filed: 1989-06-13
Granted: 1991-10-10
Abstract: For the manufacture of casting moulds, which are subjected to a permanently changing temperature stress during casting, for example blocks of side dams of double strip steel casting installations or casting wheels, thermally highly conductive materials are required, which are insensitive to thermal shock treatment and additionally exhibit high thermal stability. According to the invention, a copper-based alloy is proposed for this application which, in addition to 1.6 to 2.4% of nickel, 0.5 to 0.8% of silicon and, if appropriate, up to 0.4% of chromium and/or up to 0.2% of iron, also contains 0.01 to 0.20% of zirconium. As a result of the additional content of zirconium, the thermal shock sensitivity of hitherto used alloys is eliminated.

Patent AU-626556-B2 (AU)
Title: Continuously variable transmission
Inventor: TERRY MAURICE C SR
IPC: B62M11/16
Filed: 1989-05-16
Granted: 1992-08-06
Abstract: A continuously variable transmission includes a power input driving a sun gear which in turn drives a plurality of planetary gears. Within each planetary gear is mounted an over-rolling clutch. The planet gear is free to rotate about its raceway in one direction and is locked from rotation in the opposite direction. The shaft mountings for each planetary gear are suitably journalled in a carrier ring rotatably mounted within the housing. An internal gear, integrally mounted within the output housing, meshes with the planetary gears and is driven by them. An eccentric system, comprised of two nested eccentrics within the housing and anchored to an axle, controls the degree of oscillation imparted to the planetary gear raceway shafts. The eccentric system is continuously positionable so as to increase the rotation of the input sun gear from a one-to-one ratio up to the maximum designed output. As the eccentricity is increased, the planetary gear system superimposes a pulse drive on the sun gear that exponentially multiplies the drive rotation rate. Thus, the output housing is driven at a greater rate of rotation than the planetary carrier. When the eccentrics are at the zero eccentricity position, the transmission operates as a direct drive with no internal gear motion.

Title: Polarized electromagnetic relay
Inventor: NAKAHATA ATSUSHI
IPC: H01H51/22
Filed: 1985-07-17
Granted: 1987-09-10
Abstract: A polarized electromagent relay with reduced width and height is disclosed to have on a base plate an electromagnet block, an armature block with a permanent magnet and at least one contat assembly. The armature block is cooperative with the electromagnet block and is driven in response to the energization thereof to reciprocate between two operating positions so as to actuate the contact assembly for contact switching. The electromagnet block includes a generally E-shaped yoke with a pair of opposed side legs and a center leg defining a core around which the excitation coil is wound. The contact assembly is mounted on the lateral side of the base plate to be received between the adjacent side leg and the base plate so as not to add an extra dimension to the width of the relay. The yoke is configured to have the center leg or core displaced from the plane of the side legs toward the base plate in such a manner as to produce a more space above the core as well as between the core and each of the side legs for receiving the coil. By better utilization of such space the coil can be wound a greater number of turns without substantially projecting above that plane, so as not to add an extra dimension to the height of the relay, thus enabling the relay design of reducing both the width and the height while allowing the use of the coil with a greater number of turns.

Filed: 1996-01-30
Granted: 2000-03-09
Abstract: This invention is directed to an efficient cryopreservation package design of harvested mammalian tissues and living cultured tissue equivalents made by in vitro technology. The invention involves immersing a mammalian tissue or cultured tissue equivalent in a cryoprotectant solution, agitating the cryoprotectant solution and the immersed tissue to achieve effective penetration of the cryoprotectant solution into the tissue, and then freezing the tissue at a very slow freezing rate. In the freezing step, extracellular ice formation is initiated by seeding. The cryopreserved tissue may be stored for indefinite periods of time prior to use. The cultured tissue equivalent is an in vitro model of the equivalent human tissue, such as skin or cornea, which, when retrieved from storage can be used for transplantation or implantation in vivo or for screening compounds in vitro. <IMAGE>
