Patent NZ-314193-A (NZ)
Title: Vacuum cleaner head, suction face inclined 70 degrees to collecting tube axis
Inventor: SCHUPP ANDREAS
IPC: A47L5/24
Filed: 1997-02-05
Abstract: A vacuum cleaner head, for attachment directly to a vacuum cleaner body having a central longitudinal axis, has exposed bristles with remote ends on a plane off-set by about 70 DEG  to the central axis. The bristles 14 and IS extend along opposing sides of a lower surface of the head in strips at either side of a channel 18 through which dust and debris gathered up by the bristles passes into the vacuum body. The off-set plane means that when the body is held directly or by a handle, a natural comfortable sweeping action, with the handle axis at about 20 DEG  to the vertical, keeps both strips of bristle in contact with the swept surface. <IMAGE>

Title: Asymmetric synthesis of piperazic acid and derivatives thereof
Inventor: ROBIDOUX ANDREA
IPC: C07D487/04
Filed: 2001-04-25
Abstract: A method for a short, asymmetric synthesis of piperazic acid and derivatives thereof is disclosed, wherein either the (3S)- or (3R)-enantiomeric form may be obtained with high optical purity. (3S)-piperazic acid is derived from D-glutamic acid through an (R)-2, 5-dihydroxyvalerate ester intermediate. After the hydroxy groups are converted to suitable leaving groups,such as mesylates, the ester is treated with a bis-protected hydrazine to provide the desired (3S)-piperazic acid derivative. The (3R) enantiomer of piperazic acid may be similarly obtained starting with L-glutamic acid. The method may also be used to obtain piperazic acid derivatives that have moderate optical purity or are racemic. By this method, piperazic acid derivatives may be obtained that are useful as intermediates for pharmacologically active compounds. For example, certain intermediates of this invention are useful for preparing caspase inhibitors, particularly inhibitors of ICE, through additional steps known in the art.

Patent NZ-525558-A (NZ)
Title: Intruder alarm
Inventor: LAWRENCE MALCOLM GRAHAM
IPC: G08B15/00
Filed: 2001-03-07
Abstract: An alarm system comprises plural movement PIR detector of which three such detectors are shown and designated by reference numerals 1, 2 and 3. An alarm control box (4) is connected to the movement detectors (1, 2 and 3) so as to receive an activation signal from a movement detector which has been actuated by movement from an intruder within its range. The control box is connected to an illumination controller (5) provided to energise lamps (6, 7, 8 and 9) intermittently once an alarm activation signal has been received by control box (4). The illumination controller is equipped to alternate the illumination of a lamp so that, upon receipt of a signal from control box designated for the energisation of a particular lamp, the lamp is first energised so as to illuminate it to a level which causes closure of the irises of the eyes of the intruder (but without permanent eye damage) and then de-energised so that illumination is near zero for sufficient time for iris recovery (e.g. a period of 6 seconds). Thereafter, the same lamp (or another lamp in response to detection of the intruder by another of the movement detectors) is illuminated (again) so as to close intruder's irises. In this way, the intruder's eyes are unable to acclimatise to the changing light conditions and his movement about the space addressed by the alarm system is seriously imparied.
