Patent AU-2946092-A (AU)
Title: Data input device with a pressure-sensitive input surface
IPC: G06F3/033
Filed: 1992-11-27
Abstract: A data input device having an arrangement of deformable layers including at least a dielectric material above a resistive layer. The material is elastically deformable so that, when pressure is applied to an input surface, the distance between the input surface and the resistive layer is reduced at the pressure point. An electrode which is preferably in the form of a conductive layer is arranged on the side of the deformable layer facing away from the resistive layer. Thus results in a change of the capacitive properties of the deformable layer at the pressure point, since the thickness of the deformable layer is reduced at the pressure point. This capacitive measurement is used for detection of the pressing force, while the position of the pressing point on the input surface is detected in two mutually orthogonal directions on the basis of the voltage divider forming in the resistive layer arrangement.

Title: Fermentation bung device and method
Inventor: NASTASIA MARTIN
IPC: C12G1/02
Filed: 1999-02-26
Abstract: A fermentation device and a method for making a substance using the device are provided. The fermentation bung may have an outer plug that includes a central inner annular hole and a one or more holes surrounding the central hole, the outer plug fitting within a bung hole in a barrel in which a substance is going to be fermented. The device may further include an inner plug with a centrally extending stem that frictionally fits into the central inner annual hole of the outer plug to secure the inner plug into the outer plug and also have a top portion which covers the one or more holes surrounding the central hole. During the fermentation of the substance, the gases produced during fermentation may be vented through the device since the top portion of the inner plug may flex slightly to permit the escape of the gas. However, the device prevents any ambient air from entering the barrel since the top portion of the inner plug is covering the one or more holes.

Title: Process for improving the surface yield in the fabrication o f tanned hides
Inventor: MALDONADO-MILLAN FERNANDO
IPC: C14B1/26
Filed: 1996-01-31
Abstract: Procedure to improve the area yield in the manufacture of leather consisting of a thermal treatment applied to the extended or stretched leather, before the operation of drying. During this treatment there should be no loss in the water content of the leather. The applicattion of this procedure in the manufacture of leather allows improvements to be obtained in the area yield of about ten percent and, when applied to dyed leathers, an improvement is obtained in the fixation of the products used in the wet phases and, therefore, an improvement in the fastness properties to rubbing at dry as well as wet conditions. The application of this procedure reduces the modulus of the leather for which its use can be especially interesting for leather destined for clothing, upholstery, and some types of footwear which require lower elasticity values.
