Patent AU-560733-B2 (AU)
Title: Method of making a gasket of expanded graphite
Inventor: BATE CECIL ALBERT
IPC: F02F11/00
Filed: 1984-09-04
Granted: 1987-04-16
Abstract: A gasket of the kind comprising particles of compressed expanded graphite bonded to an apertured reinforcement plate is made by pressing the graphite particles onto the face of the plate without lateral support of those particles at the periphery of the plate, as by pressing between two compressor belts. In thus dispensing with vertical moulding elements, the method enables a more uniform density of graphite to be obtained over the surface of the plate, and yet leaves the graphite coating at the periphery acceptably uniform with the remainder. 
<??>The method is specially applicable to the manufacture of gaskets for the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine.

Title: Multiple compressor heat pump or air conditioner
Inventor: HEBERT THOMAS H
IPC: F25B49/02
Filed: 1999-04-09
Granted: 2002-05-02
Abstract: In a refrigeration system, a multiple compressor system for maintaining the heat output constant while the outside ambient temperature continues to decrease. The present invention comprises of a primary compressor and at least one secondary compressor. The entire refrigeration system is sized for the primary compressor operating while in the cooling mode. In the heating mode, the primary compressor operates by itself until the outside ambient temperature falls to a temperature within a particular range. Once the predetermined temperature set point is met, a secondary compressor begins operating in conjunction with the primary compressor such that the mass flow of refrigerant through the system in the heating mode of operation is no greater than that of the primary compressor operating alone in the cooling mode. While the outside temperature continues to decrease, additional secondary compressors may be included to maintain a constant heat output. In the cooling mode, only a single compressor is required to operate the system. Each of the compressors may alternate with any other so that the lives of the compressors are preserved.

Title: Methods and apparatus for estimating a physiological parameter using transforms
Inventor: YORKEY THOMAS J
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1999-05-26
Granted: 2002-03-07
Abstract: A method for use in a system for determining a physiological parameter is described. The system has a sensor for transmitting electromagnetic energy of first and second wavelengths toward a tissue sample and detecting the electromagnetic energy after scattering of the electromagnetic energy by the tissue sample, thereby generating a first signal corresponding to the first wavelength and a second signal corresponding to the second wavelength. The first and second signals are transformed into the frequency domain, thereby generating third and fourth signals. A ratio signal is generated using the third and fourth signals. For each of a plurality of ratio values an associated sum is generated corresponding to the number of times the ratio signal coincides with the ratio value associated with the sum. Contributions to each sum are weighted in accordance with the third signal. A best ratio value is selected from the plurality of ratio values based on the sums associated therewith.
