Patent AU-4064602-A (AU)
Title: A pressure regulator
Inventor: KAY FRANCIS XAVIER
IPC: A62B9/02
Filed: 2002-05-14
Abstract: A pressure regulator suitable for use as a breathing demand valve in self-contained breathing equipment comprising a first chamber (31) incorporating an inlet port (29,30) having an inlet valve (36) therein, preferably in the form of a poppet valve and biased so as to seal of the inlet port, and separated from a second chamber by a diaphragm (6). The diaphragm co-operates with the end of a stem (3) extending from the poppet valve member (36) of the inlet valve such that, upon inhalation by the user, the diaphragm (6) is deflected towards the inlet valve and exerts a force on the poppet valve stem sufficient to open the poppet valve and, upon exhalation by the user, the diaphragm (6) is deflected away form the inlet valve so that the diaphragm no longer contacts the end of the poppet valve stem and the inlet valve closes. A baffle plate (9) is positioned in between the diaphragm and inlet valve so as to prevent, when the inlet valve is open, a portion of the pressurised fluid flow from impinging upon the underside of the diaphragm and tending to close the inlet valve. Optionally, the end of the diaphragm may incorporate an exhaust port to ambient, which, when the inlet valve is opened, is sealed by the end of the poppet valve stem sealably engaging with a valve seat around the exhaust port. <IMAGE>

Title: Machine for transport of passengers and cargo
Inventor: HENDERSON J KIRSTON
IPC: B61B15/00
Filed: 1997-09-04
Abstract: An electrically powered vehicle transportation system utilizes a guideway with parallel enclosed rails. Each enclosed rail has an electrical bus bar for supplying power to vehicles on the guideway. The guideway will accommodate dual-mode vehicles that are capable of usage on conventional streets as well as on the guideway. The guideway also accommodates conventional vehicles and ferries that operate only on the guideway. The enclosed rails have a downward facing slot on an inner wall. The vehicle axles are offset, with a portion extending through each slot. The dual-mode vehicle has a body with axles that are extensible. The axles move from a retracted position, with the wheels recessed within the wheel wells, to an extended position. In the extended position, the wheels locate within the enclosed rails. Conventional vehicles and freight are carried on ferries that move along the guideways.

Patent AU-4467493-A (AU)
Title: Method and apparatus for continuous casting of metal
Inventor: GRAHAM THOMAS S
IPC: B22D11/06
Filed: 1993-08-16
Abstract: Electrostatic application of a dusting of dry, electrostatically adherable, thermally insulative powder particles (38) over a workface (6a) of a moving mold in a continuous metal-casting machine in which the mold surface or surfaces which provide the workface or workfaces revolve in a generally oval course. A dry dusting of protective powder particles (38) of refractory material is applied to the workface by being dispensed entrained in a plurality of air streams uniformly spaced across a width of the workface (6a). The air streams are deflected toward the workface by a deflector surface (37), and after being deflected the powder particles are electrostatically charged by suitable electrostatic apparatus (33) prior to contact with the workface (6a). The moving mold having the workface to be dusted is electrically grounded (43) for attracting the electrostatically charged powder particles (39) for adhering them to the workface (6a). The resultant coating formed by the dusting so deposited is remarkably uniform over a substantial area of the workface, a phenomenon explainable by mutual electrostatic repulsion of the dry powder particles being deposited. Continuously re-applied dusting over the workface during a continuous cast provides an immediately useful repair or replacement of dusting powder lost from the coating on the workface of a revolving mold surface during casting. The dusting may be removed at will from the workface by means of an air knife, and then immediately the workface is coated again by electrostatic application of a dry dusting of the protective powder particles. <IMAGE>

Such thickener, is among other things, easily soluble in cold water; improves diffusion of chemicals (like sulfide or lime) throughout the skin; improves viscosity or resistance to shear of a paint, whereby less starch is needed to exert a similar effect; and increases the suspendability of a lime, allowing less time to be used which creates environmental advantages in waste disposal.
Patent AU-5084496-A (AU)
Title: Laser demolding apparatus and method
Inventor: WALKER CRAIG WILLIAM
IPC: B29L11/00
Filed: 1996-04-23
Abstract: An automated demolding apparatus for mechanically separating contact lens mold portions of a mold assembly. The mold assembly includes a first front mold portion having a central mold section with a surrounding flange, and a corresponding second back mold portion also having a central mold section with a surrounding flange, with a molded contact lens being formed between the front and back mold portions. The demolding apparatus includes restraining fingers positioned between and on opposite sides of the spaced flanges of the first and second mold portions and against the flange of the first mold portion. A separating fixture includes separating fingers positioned between and on opposite sides of the spaced flanges of the first and second mold portions and against the flange of the second mold portion. Before demolding, the second mold portion is irradiated by a laser beam, which is absorbed thereby to cause a substantial temperature gradient between the second mold portion and the contact lens being demolded. The temperature gradient causes a differential expansion and shifting of the surface of the heated second mold portion relative to the surface of the lens to lessen the adhesion therebetween to assist in separation of the mold portions, while leaving the lens in the first mold portion. During demolding, the separating fixture is subjected to a substantially vertical prying motion relative to the restraining fingers to separate the second mold portion from the first mold portion.
