Title: Quick connecting universal electrical box and wiring system
Inventor: HYDE DOUGLAS
IPC: H02G3/12
Filed: 2001-02-21
Abstract: A quick connecting universal electrical box system for the mounting of electrical sockets, switches or any electronic or communication component that is typically installed into a wall is disclosed. The system comprises a mounting frame and an electrical box, which can be pre-wired with any socket unit or component, such that installation of the electrical box into a wall is greatly simplified. The mounting frame is first inserted into a wall, followed by insertion of the electrical box into the mounting frame. The action of inserting the electrical box into the mounting frame forces flaps in the mounting frame to engage and lock the mounting frame into the wall. Retaining studs formed on flexible side panels of the electrical box then engage with corresponding openings in the mounting frame to secure the electrical box within the mounting frame. Secure installation of this electrical box is simple and quick without the need for any tools or fastening screws. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for growing biomass particles
Inventor: JEM KWAN-MIN
IPC: C12N5/071
Filed: 1993-01-15
Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method and apparatus for growing biomass particles, particularly microcarrier-bound cells, in an agitated suspension culture vessel in which fresh culture medium is added and spent culture medium is withdrawn continuously or semi-continuously. The improvement comprises withdrawing the spent culture medium through a particle settling chamber located within the vessel and at least partially immersed in the agitated culture medium therewithin. The particle settling chamber comprises a hollow container with a bottom opening through which biomass particles, such as microcarrier-bound cells, settle by gravity back into the agitated culture medium and a top opening through which particle-free spent culture medium is withdrawn form the vessel. The settling chamber is configured such that the fluid velocity of culture medium entering the settling chamber through the bottom opening is significantly less than the biomass particle settling velocity.

Patent AU-3595184-A (AU)
Title: Ultrasound level detector
Inventor: KOBLASZ ARTHUR
IPC: B67D3/00
Filed: 1984-11-28
Abstract: An ultrasound liquid level detector system for automatically controlling the dispensing of a post-mix beverage, including microprocessor-controlled circuitry for monitoring and implementing the automatic dispensing process. The microprocessor is interfaced with an ultrasonic transducer which transmits ultrasonic wave energy towards the container to be filled and receives reflected ultrasonic wave energy, the characteristics of which are analyzed within the microprocessor to implement control functions of the automatic dispensing process. Dispensing automatically begins as a container is inserted under the ultrasonic transducer into a proper position beneath a post-mix beverage dispenser nozzle. The transducer continuously measures the distance between the top or lip of the container and a liquid/foam interface of a carbonated beverage being dispensed into the container. Dispensing stops when the transducer senses a predetermined level of carbonated beverage within the container. In addition, dispensing is initially stopped before the liquid level reaches the top of the container to allow for dissipation of foam on the top of a carbonated beverage and dispensing is reinitiated to top off the level of beverage adjacent the top of the container. The disclosed system also utilizes the ultrasonic transducer to measure the level of ice within the container prior to dispensing and precludes dispensing of the beverage if the level of ice exceeds a predetermined limit. The system also has additional safeguards programmed into the microprocessor to preclude operator errors such as triggering of the dispenser system by devices other than the container to be filled.

Title: A method of sterilizing the inside layer in a packaging material
Inventor: STARK OLOF
IPC: A23L3/26
Filed: 1993-10-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a method in the sterilization of the inside layer of a packaging material, the packaging material being produced as a laminate with an inside layer (3) of a transparent thermoplastic which is applied on a reflective material layer (4). The sterilizing energy consists of high energy light flashes emitted from one or more flash units (6), the light flashes being caused to act on the inside (10) of the packaging material for purposes of exterminating bacteria and microorganisms present on the surface (10). Because the light flashes emitted from the flash unit (6) are reflected by the reflective layer (4), the surface layer (10) of the layer (3) will be influenced by both the direct and the reflecting photoenergy from the flash units (6), the sterilizing effect being thereby improved.

Title: Shaving systems
Inventor: WAIN KEVIN JAMES
IPC: A45D27/24
Filed: 1993-10-08
Abstract: A shaving system comprises novel components of a razor handle (1), a razor blade cartridge (2), and a magazine (5) holding a supply of cartridges. The handle and magazine are adapted to cooperate so that a used cartridge on the handle is replaced by (i) inserting the used cartridge into an empty magazine compartment, which unlatches the handle from the cartridge; (ii) moving the handle along the magazine towards a next adjacent compartment accommodating a fresh cartridge, firstly to disconnect the handle from the used cartridge which is left in its compartment and secondly to latch the handle onto the fresh cartridge held in the next compartment; and (iii) withdrawing from the magazine the handle with the fresh cartridge attached. Thus, the cartridges are dispensed from the magazine in turn with each cartridge replacement operation being effected by a single stroke of the handle relative to the magazine, this stroke having distinct components of insertion, advancement and withdrawal. A novel handle and cartridge coupling system is used, the cartridge having key elements (14) which engage in slots (15) provided on the handle so that the handle is connected to the cartridge by displacement relative thereto in a direction transverse to the cartridge and substantially parallel to its front face (25), and latch devices (18) which engage in notches (17) at the ends of the cartridge being provided on the handle to lock the cartridge against detachment from the handle. Conveniently, the latch devices and notches (17, 18) define a pivot enabling pivotal movement of the cartridge on the handle.
