Title: Endmill adapter with torque reducing locknut and collet interface
Inventor: LEWIS DAVID L
IPC: B23B31/20
Filed: 1995-01-17
Abstract: A toolholder 1 of the type including a collet 5 integrally formed with a shank 3 is provided with an interface between a locknut 7 and collet 13 which substantially reduces the torque required to turn the locknut 7 into a position which radially collapses the collet segments 17. In this interface, one of either the inner locknut surface 23 or the outer surfaces of the collet segments 17 includes an engaging portion 56 for wedgingly flexing the collet segments 17 inwardly when the locknut is turned, and a non-engaging portion 58 disposed between the engaging portion 56 and the shank mounted ends of the collet segments 17. The non-engaging portion 58 reduces the torque required to turn the locknut 7 by reducing the binding forces that would otherwise occur between the ends of the collet segments 17 and the inner locknut surface 23. To further reduce torque, the collet portion interconnecting the collet segments 17 with the shank 3 of the toolholder is rendered thinner by the provision of circumferential grooves 72, 76 that make the collet segments 17 more flexible. Sealing rings 66, 74, 81 are seated in grooves 68, 72, 76 present in the interior defined by the collet segments 17 in order to prevent errant flows of coolant or debris from collecting between the collet segments 17 and the tool shank 9 gripped thereby.

The apparatus comprises arrangements for conditioning and feeding the blowing agent and control agents into the melt. The blocks and boards exhibit dimensional stability and good self-extinction features. <IMAGE>
Patent AU-1909897-A (AU)
Title: Ostomy pouch with intervening membrane and superabsorbent
Inventor: FERREIRA ADOLFO A
IPC: A61F5/445
Filed: 1997-04-24
Abstract: The pouch is formed of first and second thin barrier film walls welded along the periphery to form a waste receptical. One wall has an inlet defined by an attachment ring. The ring mounts the pouch on an adhesive faceplate adapted to adhere to the skin surrounding the stoma. A membrane, formed of material which is gas permeable but transmits little moisture and no liquid, is situated between the walls to separate the receptical into an inlet chamber, where solids, liquid and most moisture are retained, and an outlet chamber into which gas and a small amount of vapor passes. A filter is provided to permit the gas to exit the outlet chamber. A first section of superabsorbent material isolates the filter from the outlet chamber. By absorbing any moisture in the gas before it contacts the filter, blockage of the filter is prevented. A second section of superabsorbant material is provided near the bottom of the output chamber to absorb moisture which otherwise may cause the membrane to stick to the pouch wall, resulting in a substantial reduction of the gas transmissibility of the membrane.
Patent AU-1956601-A (AU)
Title: Mascara brush with multi-length fibers and method of making the same
Inventor: NEUNER CHARLES P
IPC: A46B9/02
Filed: 2000-12-08
Abstract: A mascara brush is disclosed that has a twisted wire core supporting a plurality of regularly disposed radially extending short and long bristles. The tips of the long bristles define an outer envelope of the brush. The short and long bristles are interspersed such that tips of the short bristles form a layer spaced inwardly from the outer envelope. The brush can be made without regard to bristle stiffness. Because the brush can be made without regard to bristle stiffness, the short bristles can have a degree of flexibility for a given length that is equal to or greater than a degree of flexibility for a given length of the long bristles. The brush is made by first forming a brush blank. The brush blank is made by providing a plurality of bristles of substantially equal length between a pair of parallel wire segments. The wire segments are initially twisted sufficiently to secure the bristles for subsequent steps. After the initial twisting, the bristles having their original lengths define the outer envelope, or the bristles may be trimmed to define the outer envelope and finish the brush blank. The short bristles are formed from a portion of the longer bristles by cutting a series of circumferentially spaced longitudinal grooves in the outer envelope of the brush blank. The wire segments are then further twisted to displace and disperse the short bristles among the long bristles such that the tips of the short bristles define a layer spaced inwardly from the tips of the long bristles.

Title: Improvement to a mineral crusher
Inventor: TAYLOR ROBERT
IPC: B02C13/282
Filed: 1997-04-18
Abstract: A mineral crusher comprises a roller (50) having a plurality of impeller bars for impelling mineral material against a collection plate (100), upon which a collection of mineral material accumulates. The material thrown against the accumulated material is reduced by impact with the accumulated material. The collection plate is adjustable, so as to adjust the size of mineral accumulation, and is tiltable so as to spring away from the roller when oversize objects, e.g. pieces of metal or blocks of wood pass through the crushes. The arrangement may have an advantage of incurring reduced wear on the collection plate (100), which may require less frequent replacement. The collection plate (100) is relatively easy to manufacture.

Patent AU-3220497-A (AU)
Title: Method and apparatus for compression compatible video scrambling
Inventor: RYAN JOHN O
IPC: H04N7/169
Filed: 1997-05-29
Abstract: Scrambling and descrambling techniques are described which, unlike many typical scrambling systems, are compatible with all conceivable forms of signal compression systems. The scrambling technique is based on the principle of applying local spatial distortion to the pixels in a video image, and the like, to locally displace the pixels from their normal locations. Most compression systems rely on the condition that good correlation exists in the image and that any small portion, i.e., pixel, in an image is very similar to the portions, or pixels, nearby. Since the present technique provides local spatial distortion which does not de-correlate the image and does not re-arrange the pixels in the image, the pixels near other pixels prior to application of the scrambling technique, have the same positional relationship after scrambling. The complementary descrambling technique restores the locally displaced pixels to their normal locations to restore the video image to its original unscrambled state.
