Patent AU-3244200-A (AU)
Title: Central platform for supporting retractor blades and the like during surgery
Inventor: LEES JOHN
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: A central platform allows a hydra or other surgical device to be attached to a horizontal bar suspended over a patient during surgery. The platform is made of stainless steel and has integrally formed clamping and attaching portions. The clamping portion has a cylindrical bore for receiving the bar and a slot extending from the cylindrical bore. At least one thin portion adjacent the cylindrical bore allows the clamping portion to have enough flexibility for clamping. A key passes through a threaded bore and is tightened to clamp the clamping portion onto the bar. The attaching portion has a post for attaching the hydra or other device. The post has positioning projections to hold the hydra in a desired position. The post also has a threaded portion, so that the hydra can be held on with a wing nut.

Title: Wireless network system and method
Inventor: ACOSTA EDWARD
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2001-01-22
Abstract: A method of communications over a network is specially adapted for improved transmission performance with reduced bandwidth requirements in communications networks which are low quality or have widely varied physical channel performance, for example, wireless networks. The method includes steps of packetizing a payload into a series of data packets, inserting header packets at the beginning, middle, and towards the end of the series, transmitting the series, together with the header packets, receiving at least some of the data packets of the series and at least one of the header packets, and sending an acknowledgement. The acknowledgement is either that all data packets and at least one header packet were received; that not all data packets were received and at least one header packet was received; or that some data packets were received, but no header packet was received. Re-transmissions of data packets and the header packet, when such packets are not received, is minimized in order to limit the number of communications necessary to deliver an entire data payload.

Patent AU-3680684-A (AU)
Title: Apparatus and method for enlarging, or removing irregularities in, an underground duct
Inventor: YARNELL IAN ROLAND
IPC: E03F3/06
Filed: 1984-12-14
Abstract: A device for removing irregularities in or enlarging a buried duct comprises a cylindrical housing corresponding approximately in diameter to the required diameter of the duct, an expandable shell comprising a plurality of tapered leaf members pivotally attached at their rear ends to the front of the housing, and remotely controllable drive means for moving the leaf members between contracted and expanded configurations. In operation, the apparatus is drawn through the duct with the leaf members in a contracted configuration in which they enter a portion of the duct of a diameter less than the required diameter. The drive means is operated to force the leaf members outwardly against the sides of the duct to expand the duct. The leaf members are then retracted and the apparatus is drawn forward. The apparatus is particularly intended for preparing damaged sewers prior to fitting an inner, lining pipe. By forming the shell in two sections, of which the nose is cylindrical in the contracted configuration and conical in the expanded configuration, the apparatus can move forward a distance approximately equal to the length of the leaf members with each expansion and contraction cycle, a continuous tension being applied to the chain drawing the device forward.

Title: High-speed data transmission in a mobile communications system
Inventor: RASANEN JUHA
IPC: H04W88/12
Filed: 1999-05-10
Abstract: A channel configuration of a digital mobile communications system comprises two or more lower-rate transmission channels for each high-speed radio interface traffic channel between a base station and an interworking function. Radio frames, such as EDGE frames, are transmitted over a radio interface traffic channel. Transmission frames, such as TRAU frames, are transmitted on a transmission channels. The base station and the interworking function provide the transmission frames to be transmitted with frame and/or channel numbering which indicates the order of the transmitted frames and/or the transmission channel via which the transmission frame was transmitted. According to the invention, the base station does not restore the order of the downlink transmission frames on the basis of said frame and/or channel numbering but it places the data of the transmission frames and at least the frame and/or channel numbering in the payload of the downlink radio frame to be transmitted. Instead, the mobile station, which extracts the data and the frame and/or channel numbering of the transmission frames from the downlink radio frames, restores the correct order of the data on the basis of this numbering. The invention simplifies the structure of a base station.

Title: Photon scanning tunneling microscopy
Inventor: FERRELL THOMAS L
IPC: G01N21/00
Filed: 1989-10-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus for photon scanning tunneling microscopy for examining a sample in a sample area on a surface at a subwavelength resolution is disclosed. The method comprises generating a near-field of photons at a surface containing a sample area. The near-field has an area that is larger than the sample area, and the near-field has an exponentially increasing intensity in a direction perpendicular to and towards the surface. The near-field is sampled with a probe which receives photons from that near-field that tunnel from the surface to the probe. The received photons are detected and a detector produces an output signal that is proportional to the number of photons received by the probe. The sample area is scanned with the probe in at least one direction parallel to the surface. While scanning, the probe may be maintained either at a position of a constant near-field intensity or at a position of constant distance from the surface. A photon scanning tunneling microscope for using the method is also disclosed.

Title: Use of (bacillus thuringiensis) isolates for controlling pests in the family aphididae
Inventor: PAYNE JEWEL M
IPC: A01N63/50
Filed: 1993-08-06
Abstract: The subject invention concerns Bacillus thuringiensis isolates designated B.t. PS157C1, B.t. PS86A1, and B.t. PS75J1, which are active against aphid pests.

Title: Loop antenna with at least two resonant frequencies
Inventor: LEISTEN OLIVER PAUL
IPC: H01Q5/10
Filed: 2000-05-24
Abstract: A dielectrically-loaded antenna for operation at frequencies in excess of 200 MHz includes an antenna element structure disposed on a high dielectric constant core, which element structure comprises a pair of laterally opposed groups, of helical antenna elements. Each group comprises first and second mutually adjacent elements, of different thicknesses providing looped conductive paths on the antenna, formed by the first elements of each group and the second elements of each group respectively, which resonate at differing respective resonant frequencies to yield a relatively wide operating bandwidth. The helical elements of each group define, between them, part of an elongate channel which has an overall electrical length in the region of nlambd/2 within the operating frequency band to provide isolation between the looped conductive paths. The major part of each such channel is located between the elements so as to minimise intrusion with other parts of the antenna.
