Patent NZ-585655-A (NZ)
Title: Optical fibre cleaving device
Inventor: WATTE JAN
IPC: G02B6/255
Filed: 2006-01-10
Abstract: An optical fibre cutting device comprises a blade, clamps to hold the optical fibre under tension while the fibre is being cut and a fibre deflecting member. The fibre deflecting member comprises a double anvil block with one anvil placed on either side of the fibre F. The fibre F is extended across the anvils, and the anvils are then rotated in the plane of the fibre F so that the fibre F is bent across the corners of the anvils. The fibre F is thus held under tension while being cut. (62) Divided Out of 561104

Title: Device for tissue damage protection during child delivery
Inventor: HAADEM KNUT
IPC: A61B17/42
Filed: 2009-02-13
Abstract: A device is provided that protects the tissue in the posterior part of the introitus vaginae, i.e. the commissura posterior. The origin of perineal tear starts here when the segment is stretched to double or triple its length during delivery of the head. Tears can be more extensive into the perineal body, continue into the anal sphincter and in worse cases even through the whole perineum into the anal canal. In use the device may protect against perineal tears of the posterior vaginal wall into the mucosa, perineal skin, muscles, even more profound down to the anal sphincter muscle and into the rectum and the rectal mucosa.

Title: Thermo-mechanical processing of nickel-titanium alloys
Inventor: VAN DOREN BRIAN
IPC: C22F1/00
Filed: 2014-02-27
Abstract: The ability to make commercial use of the unique properties of shape-memory and superelastic nickel-titanium alloys is dependent in part upon the temperatures at which transformations occur. Various applications of nickel-titanium alloys may be considered to be fatigue critical, where fatigue refers to the progressive and localized structural damage that occurs when a material is subjected to cyclic loading. Fatigue cracks may reach a critical size, resulting in the sudden failure of a material subjected to cyclic loading. It has been observed that fatigue cracks tend to initiate at non-metallic inclusions and other second phases in nickel-titanium alloys. The present invention is directed to processes for producing nickel-titanium alloy mill products that ameliorates fatigue-associated damage. The invention comprises cold working a nickel-titanium alloy workpiece at a temperature less than 500oC and hot isostatic pressing the work piece.

Title: Spad array structures and methods of operation
Inventor: DELIC DENNIS
IPC: H01L31/107
Filed: 2016-07-08
Abstract: Compact Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) array structures are described. In one embodiment, an on board common trigger circuit is used for two or more SPAD structures. The common trigger comprises a compact counter, such as a 16 bit counter, and flash memory constructed adjacent two or more SPAD structures. Triggering of a SPAD latches the value of the counter and the value is stored in the memory along with the ID of the triggering SPAD. The counter continues counting, and if another SPAD subsequently triggers, the counter is again latched and the value is stored in the memory along with the ID of the subsequently triggering SPAD. The memory can then be read and the triggering circuit reset. Additionally methods for designing compact SPAD structures, a compact active quenching circuit and a compact 16 bit counter are described that were used to construct a 128x256 dual SPAD array, and which can be used to create even higher density SPAD arrays.
