Patent AU-6292900-A (AU)
Title: Improvements to chemical washing and, particularly to rinsing of separating membrane devices for solutions and suspension
Inventor: MOULART PIERRE
IPC: B01D65/02
Filed: 2000-07-04
Abstract: The invention concerns a method whereby the membranes (2) are washed with detergents, or adsorbable chemical or biochemical products on activated carbon. The final rinsing for eliminating the detergents is carried out by passing water through the membrane (2) until the residual concentration of detergents is brought below the maximum permissible concentration in water for human consumption. The improvements are characterised in that the method consists in: drawing, for specific treatment external to the system, one first part of rinsing water of the order of 10 to 20 % of the total volume of water required for final rinsing; introducing the powdered activated carbon in the equipment recycling loop; recycling the volume contained in said recycling loop with added powdered activated carbon through the membrane (2), while the permeate is returned into the chamber (4) wherein the washing or rinsing water is stored and from which said recycling is carried out; said recycling being performed until the powdered activated carbon reaches adsorption equilibrium.

Patent AU-6457300-A (AU)
Title: Spill-proof cup
Inventor: SAMSON ILAN
IPC: B65D47/06
Filed: 2000-08-08
Abstract: A cup is disclosed which includes: a sealingly engage-able lid having a drinking spout located thereon. a tubular passage formed between inner surface of the lid and/or spout and a detachable member located on the lid, the passage having one end in communication with the inside of the cup and the other end in communication with the outside of the spout and being of such a diameter such that air cannot readily bubble past liquid inside it. When such a cup is inverted, the head of liquid inside lowers the pressure of the air above the liquid, and liquid therefore starts to move downwardly through the passage. This continues until the reduction in air; pressure above the liquid jest balances the pressure of the liquid head, when further movement of liquid ceases, (The fact that air cannot bubble past the liquid in the passage ensures that the air pressure is nut restored while the cup is inverted or reclined). Thus the capacity of the passage should be great enough to contain this amount of liquid without reaching the exit and therefore spilling.

Title: Jack device
Inventor: BURROUGHS DENNIS M
IPC: H01R24/46
Filed: 1986-12-15
Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a coaxial jack having a make before break switch in a first conductive path between signal-in mechanism and first signal-out mechanism. The switch is functioned on insertion of a plug in second signal-­out mechanism which forms a second conductive path between said signal-in mechanism and said second signal-out mechanism. The jack not only matches impedances with the coaxial cables, but does so by equalizing inductive and capa­citive reactances and by maintaining an impedance match at each structural support between a conductor in the jack and the housing of the jack. The housing of the jack is modular thereby providing superior versatility with respect to various configurations and applications.

Patent AU-8520301-A (AU)
Title: A magnetomechanical electronic article surveillance system and method using sideband detection
Inventor: LIAN MING-REN
IPC: G06K17/00
Filed: 2001-08-21
Abstract: An electronic article surveillance (EAS) system and method utilizing two transmitted signals to generate and detect a marker signal is provided. The first signal is set at or near the resonance of the marker so its energy can be transmitted and stored in the marker. The second signal is a low frequency magnetic field that changes the resonant frequency of the marker. Because the marker's resonant frequency is constantly varying in response to the low frequency magnetic field, the marker's response to the first transmitted signal also changes. As a result, the marker performs a modulation on the first transmitted signal. Detection of a sideband of the modulated signal indicates the presence of the marker within an interrogation zone formed by the two transmitted signals. Multiple interrogation zones are implemented by transmitting multiple low frequency signals, one low frequency signal for each interrogation zone.
