Patent ZA-971934-B (ZA)
Title: Motor vehicle anti-theft device.
Inventor: ANDREW JACKSON
IPC: B60R25/022
Filed: 1997-03-06
Abstract: The invention provides an anti-theft device for motor vehicles, comprising an immobiliser bar (10) for fitting across a steering wheel so as to project generally radially from the steering wheel to prevent or limit rotation thereof by contact with other parts of the vehicle, and a locking arrangement (12) mounted at one end of the immobiliser bar for locking the immobiliser bar onto the rim of the steering wheel at one side thereof. The locking arrangement comprises a pair of hooks (16) pivotably connected to the immobiliser bar for movement around an axis perpendicular to the immobiliser bar between an open position in which the free ends (26) of the hooks are remote from the bar for engaging over the steering wheel rim and a closed position in which the free ends of the hooks lie adjacent the immobiliser bar for securing the immobiliser bar onto the steering wheel rim, and a locking assembly (3) for rigidly securing the hooks in the closed position.

Title: Improvements in Mapping Techniques
Inventor: MOORE MARK RAMON
IPC: A01D41/127
Filed: 2001-02-13
Granted: 2004-10-27
Abstract: A method of establishing yield and moisture content maps involves the continuous recording of yield of moisture content of a harvested crop, as a harvesting machine traverses a field. The recorded yield or moisture content is associated with data from a positioning system, in order that a map of yield or moisture content across the field can be generated. The yield or moisture content is compared with a second measurement of yield or moisture content, and a correction factor is determined. The correction factor is applied to the first yield or moisture content data in order to produce a more accurate yield or moisture content map.

Title: Conversion of normally gaseous material to liquified product
Inventor: LOW WILLIAM R
IPC: F25J1/02
Filed: 1999-10-18
Granted: 2002-12-24
Abstract: The inventive process and associated apparatus are ideally suited for the small-scale liquefaction of natural gas. The current invention provides a methodology and apparatus for the liquefaction of normally gaseous material, most notably natural gas, which reduces both the number of process vessels required and also the associated space requirements over convention apparatus while resulting in only a slight decrease in process efficiency.

Title: Multifocal contact lenses
Inventor: CANTOR BRIAN DAVID
IPC: G02C7/04
Filed: 2001-06-20
Granted: 2004-11-17
Abstract: A multifocal contact lens (1) provides zones each of differing focal characteristics, each zone (N) and (F) extending radially. The zones (N) and (F) comprise segments radially extending from a common centre (C) with adjacent segments defining different radial curvatures of the surface of the lens and hence producing different focal characteristics. The lens therefore has the ability to provide simultaneous near (N) and distance (F) viewing to a wearer by projecting two images, which blend into each other, onto the retina. The zones as seen in side profile may have a sinuous form with the adjacent zones smoothly blending into one another (see Fig 2).

Title: Methods and products for facile microbial expression of dna sequences
Inventor: DE BOER HERMAN ALBERT
IPC: A61K38/27
Filed: 1982-09-16
Granted: 1986-05-21
Abstract: Microbial expression of an exogenous polypeptide may be inefficient if the messenger RNA has secondary structure (due to complementarity of spaced regions of the molecule) which impedes interaction with a ribosome. The occurrence of such structure can be predicted. The degeneracy of the genetic code gives freedom to alter the nucleic acid composition of the cDNA to eliminate harmful secondary structure of the mRNA. For example, bovine growth hormone (BGH) is poorly expressed by E. coli transformed with a recombinant plasmid containing the natural BGH gene. The corresponding mRNA has complementary regions at 46-51 and 73-78. Therefore a plasmid pBGH 33-4 was constructed containing a BGH gene whose upstream portion was synthesized (making use of plasmid pHGH 207-1 which contains an efficiently expressible gene for the closely related human growth hormone) so as not to cause the troublesome complementarity. E. coli transformed therewith produced BGH with a yield of better than 10<5> copies per cell.

Title: Battery saving signal generating circuit
Inventor: NAKAJIMA TAKESHI
IPC: H04B1/16
Filed: 1985-01-07
Granted: 1987-04-08
Abstract: A battery saving signal generating circuit for saving energy of a battery assembled in a paging receiver. The signal generating circuit comprises a first circuit including a frequency divider operative to produce a first timing signal for determination of a time duration of each time slot pulse, a second circuit including a frequency divider operable independent of the first circuit to produce a second timing signals for determination of an occurrence interval of each time slot pulse. The signal generating circuit further comprises a third circuit responsive to the first and second timing signals to produce a time slot pulse signal. With this signal generating circuit, it is possible to independently and desirably select a time duration TW of the BSS time slot and a timing interval TD of the time slot occurrence, resulting in improvement in adaptability to paging receivers where different preamble signal lengths are required.

Title: Microwave oscillator devices
Inventor: JONES STEWART BARRY
IPC: H03B5/18
Filed: 1988-06-22
Granted: 1992-02-12
Abstract: In a microwave oscillator device, wires (1,2,3 etc) form inductors in a feedback path between a control electrode (e.g. gate) and a second main electrode (e.g. source) of a transistor (e.g. a GaAs MESFET). The transistor body (10) is mounted within an insulating surround 25, on a base 21 providing a first device terminal. The connection to the second main electrode comprises in series at least first and second lengths (1,2) of wire, whereas the connection to the control electrode comprises a third length (3) of wire. The invention permits the construction of a mechanical and electrical replacement for a Gunn diode by compressing the wire lengths (1,2,3 etc) in a particular arrangement into the small space inside a conventional Gunn diode envelope (20). The first wire length (1) and possibly more lengths are arched onto a low bonding area (15,16,17) adjacent the base (21), where the second and third wire lengths extend upto an upper bonding area (23) adjacent the top of the surround (25) and connected to the second terminal (22). The resulting inductance of the connection (1,2, and possibly 4) between the second main electrode and the second terminal (22) is higher than the inductance of the connection (3) between the control electrode and the second terminal (22), whcih provides an impedance level equivalent to that of the Gunn diode which the device replaces.

Granted: 1988-01-28
Abstract: The method for fabricating a composite rattan piece having an effective diameter sufficient to form a rigid structure. Relatively smaller diameter rattan segments are steam heated until deformable. These segments are then helically wound to define a larger diameter piece. The piece is cooled and shaped into the desired configuration to define a rigid support which can be used to assemble furniture. The ends of the rattan segments are bound with rawhide to ensure that composite helical structure remains tightly wound. The piece may then be formed into the desired curvature using the techniques previously employed when handling larger diameter rattan.

Abstract: The container is formed from cut and creased sheet material and is held inm erected condition by adhesive connecting portions of the sheet material. The container includes a microwave receptor material and is constructed so that the adhesive is located remote from the receptor so as to be least affected by the heat effects of the receptor material when the container and its contents are subjected to micro-wave heating. The container is provided with lines of weakening so that a section of the container can be torn back to expose the container contents for consumption. The torn back section may comprise a section of the top panel and a section of one of the top edge panels, the section of the top edge panel being defined by slits or cuts. A bottom edge panel overlaps the top edge panel containing the slits or cuts and thus provides a means of protecting the slits or cuts from accidental impact during erection and handling of the sealed container.
