Patent AU-686942-B2 (AU)
Title: Needleless connector
Inventor: LEINSING KARL R
IPC: A61M39/26
Filed: 1996-05-02
Granted: 1998-02-12
Abstract: A valve mechanism (16, 24, 26, 44) for a needleless connector employs a deformable piston (44) having a piston head (24) of elliptical cross-section with a marquise-shaped bore formed along its longitudinal axis wherein the major axes of the respective generally elliptical shapes are oriented perpendicular to one another. The piston head (24) is captured within the connector housing (16, 14) and is reciprocable between a section of reduced diameter adjacent the connection port and a section (33) of enlarged diameter. Constraining the piston head (24) into the section of reduced diameter causes the elliptical bore to be squeezed shut while positioning the piston head (24) in the section (33) of enlarged diameter causes the piston head to relax and assume its natural elliptical shape, while the bore similarly regains its natural open shape to provide a fluid path therethrough. A compressible or extendible section (48) affixed to the piston head (24) serves to bias the piston into the section of reduced diameter. A tapered section (56) of the piston contacts the housing to keep the top of the piston flush with the top of the housing for ease of cleaning. <IMAGE>

Title: Coin hopper measurement and control system
Inventor: FILIBERTI PETER L
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 1996-03-26
Granted: 1998-12-03
Abstract: The present invention provides a weighing apparatus for weighing coins accumulated in a coin hopper using a load cell and automatically taking a periodic readings of the number of coins accumulated in the hopper. By periodically monitoring the hopper and automatically calculating the number of coins in the hopper, theft of coins and other irregularities can be easily and timely detected. The unauthorized removal of coins during an actual or purported maintenance procedure can be detected by automatically determining a count of coins before a hopper access door is opened, automatically counting the number of coins once the door is closed, and using those two counts to determine the change in the number of coins in the hopper at the time of the change. In a preferred embodiment, the identity of the person opening the hopper door and the time in which the hopper door is opened and closed are recorded, along with any detected discrepancy between the change in coin count and an expected change, if any, in coin count.

Title: Method for applying by sections the decorative layer of a transfer film on a substrate and appropriate transfer film
Inventor: WEBER KLAUS
IPC: B44C1/165
Filed: 2000-04-22
Granted: 2003-03-27
Abstract: Described is a process for the region-wise transfer of a decorative layer of a transfer foil, which includes an activatable adhesive layer from a carrier film onto a substrate, wherein the adhesive layer of the transfer foil is partially activated before the actual stamping operation, more specifically in such a way that the adhesive layer experiences activation only in the surface regions in which the decorative layer is to be transferred onto the substrate. A transfer foil which is particularly suitable for that process has an absorption layer in the surface regions of the decorative layer, which are to be transferred onto the substrate, which absorption layer absorbs the radiation energy causing activation of the adhesive layer and activates the adhesive layer under the action of the absorbed radiation energy.

Title: Connector assemblies for optical fiber light cables
IPC: G02B6/40
Filed: 1990-08-24
Granted: 1993-02-04
Abstract: A connector assembly (5, 5 min ) includes buffer material (16, 16 min ) surrounding the optical fibers (11, 11 min ) at one end of an optical fiber light cable (3) and a ferrule (17, 17 min ) crimped onto the buffer material (16, 16 min ) which squeezes the buffer material and packs the optical fiber ends substantially solid. During the crimping operation, the buffer material protects the optical fibers from the ferrule while permitting the optical fibers to be deformed to a desired cross-sectional shape, for example, to that of a polygon so they are packed more solid. Different types of shielding (46, 48, 50, 55) may be used to prevent light from a light source from striking selected areas of the polished end of the connector assembly (5 min ) including particularly the buffer material (16 min ) and, if desired, a surrounding ferrule (17 min ) to reduce heat build-up in the connector assembly (5 min ) so that more light energy can be transmitted through the light cable (3) without overheating.

Title: A method of generating quality factors for binary digits obtained in the viterbi-analysis of a signal
Inventor: HAMMAR CLAES LENNART
IPC: H03M13/41
Filed: 1990-08-30
Granted: 1992-07-23
Abstract: A signal is transmitted to a reciever and is digitalised in signal points (S1). These points are viterbi analysed in an analyser with a path memory (PM) having a desired number of states (00, 01, 10, 11) with memory cells (MC). Bit sequences, corresponding to the signal points (S1), are generated and final metric values (m0, m1 + g1, m1, m3) for the bit sequences are calculated. In an indicated bit position the best bit sequence, with the smallest final metric value (m2), has a "1", which is the decied bit value. An alternative bit sequence is generated, which is the best bit sequence with the smallest final metric value (m0 + g0) under the condition that in the indicated bit position there is a bit with the opposite bit value, a "0". The difference between both the final metric values (m0 + g0 - m2) is a quality factor for the decided bit value "1". The calculation is made in three steps. At a time point metric values (m0, m1, m2, m3) have been calculated for the different states (00, 01, 10, 11). For a signal point in the indicated bit position, additive metric values ( (0->0), (1->0)) are calculated in the first step. From the additive metric values are calculated new metric values and part values of the quality factor. In the second step the part values are modified for the calculation steps through the path memory (PM), so that final part values (g0, g1, g2, g3) of the quality factor are obtained. In the third step bit sequences are selected as above and the quality factor (m0+g0-m2) is calculated.
