Patent AU-3479995-A (AU)
Title: Liquid level sensor for ink jet printers
Inventor: STAMER MICHAEL ELMER
IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 1995-09-14
Abstract: The ink level sensor of the invention comprises an ink container having a generally cylindrical shield extending downward from its top to define shielded and unshielded compartments within the container. Ink, but not foam, froth or mist, flows under the shield to the shielded compartment. A plurality of conductive rods of differing length extend downwardly into the shielded compartment from the container top. The rods are connected to an impedance network which provides signals representative of the ink level inside the container. A vacuum source can be connected to each compartment to maintain pressure equilibrium in the compartments and to prevent foam, froth or mist from entering the shielded compartment. Alternatively, a return pump is used to force ink into the container such that each compartment can be vented to the atmosphere.

Title: Cooling
Inventor: VOGEL ALFREDO
IPC: B22D11/119
Filed: 1979-11-26
Abstract: A method of cooling a flow of a molten material involves simultaneously subjecting the flow to a stirring action which is such that the temperature of the material is substantially the same at any point in any one plane perpendicular to the direction of flow. The cooling may be applied to a molten material to bring it either closer to its melting point or liquidus temperature or to bring it within its freezing range where this is desired as in, for example, the production of metallic slurries.In apparatus for cooling a flow of a molten material having means for cooling and means for simultaneously stirring the flow, both means preferably comprise at least one element extending transversely within a duct through which the flow is directed. The element, which may be a hollow rod arranged to carry a flow of a coolant, is preferably made of a highly conducting material e.g. graphite or a metal whereas the walls of the duct are preferably of a insulating material. By this means nearly all of the cooling effect can be concentrated In the elements which permits close control over the cooling action. The number, arrangement and size of the elements will depend on the degree of cooling required and on the amount of stirring which is necessary to achieve even cooling along the duct.The cooled flow, after passing through the duct, is conveniently led into a mould or series of moulds or into a casting machine in which solidification to give a shaped article takes place.

Title: Receiving station with interference signal suppression
Inventor: BONACCORSO MARIO
IPC: H04B1/709
Filed: 2000-06-13
Abstract: An optimum combiner that reduces the amount of interference imposed upon a first base station (102) by transmissions of other base stations within the same communication system. Two antennas (112, 114) are used to receive transmissions within a receiving station (110). A rake receiver is coupled to each antenna (112, 114). By optimally combining the signals that are received by each independent finger of the rake receiver, interference that is correlated between a finger associated with the first antenna (112) and a finger associated with the second antenna (114) can be minimized with respect to the desired signal. Optimum combining requires determination of optimum combining coefficients. A max-ratio combining algorithm may be substituted for the optimal combining algorithm depending upon interference characteristics.

Title: Asymmetric synthesis of piperazic acid and derivatives thereof
Inventor: ROBIDOUX ANDREA
IPC: C07D237/02
Filed: 2001-04-25
Abstract: This invention provides a concise, asymmetric synthesis of piperazic acid and derivatives thereof, whereby either the (3S)- or (3R)-enantiomeric form may be obtained with high optical purity. (3S)-piperazic acid is derived from D-glutamic acid through an (R)-2,5-dihydroxyvalerate ester intermediate. After the hydroxy groups are converted to suitable leaving groups, such as mesylates, the ester is treated with a bis-protected hydrazine to provide the desired (3S)-piperazic acid derivative. The (3R) enantiomer of piperazic acid may be similarly obtained starting with L-glutamic acid. The method may also be used to obtain piperazic acid derivatives that have moderate optical purity or are racemic. By this method, piperazic acid derivatives may be obtained that are useful as intermediates for pharmacologically active compounds. For example, certain intermediates of this invention are useful for preparing caspase inhibitors, particularly inhibitors of ICE, through additional steps known in the art.</PTEXT>
