Patent AU-1871502-A (AU)
Title: Railway car
Inventor: OKUNO SUMIO
IPC: B61D15/06
Filed: 2002-02-26
Abstract: In a railway car body formed of hollow shape members 40, a hollow shape member 51 having a shock absorbing function is provided to the ends of a hollow shape member 40 constituting an underframe 30, where impact load is most likely to be received. The hollow shape member 40 is positioned so that the longitudinal direction thereof is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the car body. When impact load is received, the hollow shape member 51 formed at the ends of the member 40 deforms and collapses, thereby relieving the impact force. The present invention simply provides treatment to some areas of the hollow shape members that form the car body without changing the conventional railway car structure greatly, thus minimizing the impact load provided to the passengers upon collision, and improves the safety of the railway car. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus and method for mixing drill cuttings in a tank and transferring them therefrom
Inventor: JAGER VERNON DE
IPC: F04D7/04
Filed: 1999-12-20
Abstract: An apparatus and method for slurrying waste materials and drill cuttings. The apparatus includes a pump having a chamber an inlet opening into the bottom of the chamber, an impeller, an outlet on one side of the chamber for removal of material into a discharge line, and circumferentially spaced circulation ports in the chamber side. The impeller extends below the chamber and breaks up debris in addition to drawing material into the pump chamber. The pump may be rotated by a swivel connection and moved and manipulated in the tank by a crane arm, or it may be suspended by cable or other means. The pump stirs up a slurry by rotating the impeller, opening the circulation ports at least partially so that the material entering the bottom inlet to the chamber and being agitated by the impeller is forced out of the circulation ports. The pump can operate in the stirring mode until the material to be removed is generally homogenious, whereupon the circulation ports can be closed allowing the impeller to direct the slurry through the side outlet of the chamber into the discharge line. The stirring or slurrying mode can be combined with a discharge mode by opening the circulation ports as required to slurrify the material while it is pumped out the discharge line. An auxiliary discharge conduit may also be connected with the outlet to discharge material back into the tank to exchange upper fluid layers with lower layers.

Title: Multipathway product distribution system and method
Inventor: PRICE RICHARD
IPC: A23L7/109
Filed: 2000-12-01
Abstract: An apparatus and method for dividing a single stream of long, sticky product into a plurality of product streams, comprising a product input conduit for providing a single stream of product, and having a rough portioner disposed therein for dividing the stream of product into discrete portions. The discrete portions are then dropped into a first diverter mechanism comprised of a reciprocating slide block mechanism, which selectively directs the discrete portions into two outlet streams. Additional diverter mechanisms may be disposed in the outlet streams to further divide and redirect the product into any number of final outlet streams, such as four, eight, etc. The final outlet streams are directed toward container filling machines which precisely measure the product and place it into containers as desired. The multipathway product distribution system is controlled by a computerized logic controller which can accommodate the failure of any one or more container filling machines in any combination by stopping flow to any combination of final outlet conduits while maintaining uninterrupted operation of the remainder of the system.

Abstract: We disclose methods and apparatuses for securing cryptographic devices against attacks involving external monitoring and analysis. A “self-healing” property is introduced, enabling security to be continually re-established following partial compromises. In addition to producing useful cryptographic results, a typical leak-resistant cryptographic operation modifies or updates secret key material in a manner designed to render useless any information about the secrets that may have previously leaked from the system. Exemplary leak-proof and leak-resistant implementations are shown for symmetric authentication, certified Diffie-Hellman (when either one or both users have certificates), RSA, ElGamal public key decryption.

Title: Plant cell transformation using opine synthase gene via t-dna plasmid
Inventor: DAHL GARY A
IPC: C12N15/04
Filed: 1984-09-13
Abstract: During the past ten years, the ability to splice DNA from a variety of sources into a recombinant DNA molecule and then to transfer such DNA molecules into different species of prokaryotes and eukaryotes has led to the most exciting revolution in the history of biology. Most of this work has involved the use of bacteria, fungi and animals. Plants have been relatively neglected primarily because suitable vectors were not available. Recently a number of possible vectors have become available but in their natural state they have not been efficient in the transfer and expression of genes from various sources to plant species. The present invention describes some novel discoveries which increase the usefulness of naturally occurring plant DNA vectors in the genetic engineering of plants.
