Title: Containers and methods for isolating liquids prior to dispensing
Inventor: ALBAUM GARY J
IPC: B65D81/32
Filed: 2011-12-13
Abstract: Disclosed is a container (10) for isolating a first liquid (90) and a second liquid (92) prior to dispensing; a method of assembling a container (10) and a method of dispensing a first liquid (90) and a second liquid (92) from a container (10). Concentrated liquids can be used to decrease the size of packaging but the shelf life may be reduced due to certain components in the concentrated liquid. Current containers which isolate two liquids from each other only do so until the container is first used to dispense and then the liquids are permanently mixed. The container (10) comprises an enclosed body (12); a first exit flow path; an insert (30); a second exit flow path and a valve member (50). The enclosed body (12) contains the first liquid (90) and includes an opening. The first exit flow path dispenses the first liquid (90) from the body (12). The insert (30) contains the second liquid (92) and is at least partially received within the body (12) to isolate the first (90) and second (92) liquids. The second exit flow path dispenses the second liquid (92) from the insert (30). The valve member (50) is moveable from a closed position to an open position. When in the closed position, the valve member (50) blocks both the first and second exit flow paths, and isolates the first (90) and second (92) liquids upstream of the valve member (50). In the open position, the first (90) and second (92) liquids are permitted to flow through both the first and second exit flow paths to dispense the first (90) and second (92) liquids from the container (10).

Title: Dynamic asset marshalling within an incident communications network
Inventor: BOUCHER JOSEPH
IPC: H04W4/90
Filed: 2012-02-22
Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods for establishing incident communications networks. The system includes an incident controller, a communications resource database that stores communications resources information and a marshalling rules module that stores a set of marshalling rules. A marshalling rule identifies how to select the communications resources to be marshalled into the incident communications network based on an incident trigger. Upon receipt of an incident trigger, the incident controller is configured to establish the incident communications network by obtaining a marshalling rule based on the incident trigger. The incident controller marshals communications resources based on the marshalling rule and the communications resources determined to be available. A wide variety of information sources can be used to determine an incident trigger. Information sources can either provide an incident trigger or provide data to be analysed to determine an incident trigger.

IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 2012-10-31
Abstract: 623220 Methods and systems are disclosed for maintaining, evaluating, and providing therapy to a lung ex vivo. The methods and systems involve positioning the lung in an ex vivo perfusion circuit; circulating a perfusion fluid through the lung, the fluid entering the lung through a pulmonary artery interface and leaving the lung through a left atrial interface; and ventilating the lung by flowing a ventilation gas through a tracheal interface. Maintaining the lung for extended periods involves causing the lung to rebreathe a captive volume of air, and reaching an equilibrium state between the perfusion fluid and the ventilation gas. Evaluating the gas exchange capability of the lung involves deoxygenating the perfusion fluid and measuring a time taken to re-oxygenate the perfusion fluid by ventilating the lung with an oxygenation gas.

Patent NZ-708494-A (NZ)
Title: Thermomechanical processing of alpha-beta titanium alloys
Inventor: FORBES JONES ROBIN M
IPC: C22F1/18
Filed: 2014-02-28
Abstract: By using such high force processes such as MAF and ECAP, any starting microstructure can eventually be transformed into an ultrafine grained microstructure. However, for economic reasons that are further described herein, only laboratory-scale MAF and ECAP processing is currently conducted. Further, relatively uniform billets of ultrafine grain Ti-6-4 alloy (UNS R56400) can be produced using the ultra-slow strain rate MAF or ECAP processes, but the cumulative time taken to perform the MAF or ECAP steps can be excessive in a commercial setting. In addition, conventional large scale, commercially available open die press forging equipment may not have the capability to achieve the ultra-slow strain rates required in such embodiments and, therefore, custom forging equipment may be required for carrying out production-scale ultra-slow strain rate MAF or ECAP. The present invention is therefore directed to producing titanium alloys having fine, very fine, or ultrafine grain microstructure that accommodates higher strain rates, reduces necessary processing time, and/or eliminates the need for custom forging equipment. One embodiment of a method of refining alpha-phase grain size in an alpha-beta titanium alloy comprises working an alpha-beta titanium alloy at a first working temperature within a first temperature range in the alpha-beta phase field of the alpha-beta titanium alloy. The alloy is slow cooled from the first working temperature. On completion of working at and slow cooling from the first working temperature, the alloy comprises a primary globularized alpha-phase particle microstructure. The alloy is worked at a second working temperature within a second temperature range in the alpha-beta phase field. The second working temperature is lower than the first working temperature. The alloy is worked at a third working temperature in a third temperature range in the alpha-beta phase field. The third working temperature is lower than the second working temperature. After working at the third working temperature, the titanium alloy comprises a desired refined alpha-phase grain size.
