Patent AU-648868-B2 (AU)
Title: Optical-to-electric transducer with extended dynamic range
Inventor: HEIDEMANN ROLF DR
IPC: H04B10/291
Filed: 1992-02-17
Granted: 1994-05-05
Abstract: In optical receivers for optical data transmission, the problem exists that a wide dynamic range is required, since the receiver must be able to process optical signals whose level may fluctuate greatly depending on the location of use. This problem is solved according to the invention by providing an optical amplifier, in particular a fibre-optic amplifier, through which the incoming optical signal passes before entering the transducer itself, and whose amplification or attenuation factor is controlled depending on the electric output signal of the transducer.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and a device for displaying at least part of a person's body, for example the head (<HIL><PDAT>10</BOLD><PDAT>), with a modified appearance by providing first image data representatitve of the unmodified appearance of the body part, second image data representatitve of a modification in the appearance of the body part (<HIL><PDAT>10</BOLD><PDAT>) and position data representative of the position and spatial orientation of the body part (<HIL><PDAT>10</BOLD><PDAT>). The first and second image data are linked to produce and to display third image data representative of the modified appearance of the body part, in dependence on the position data, such that the displayed, modified appearance follows changes in the position of the body part in a dynamic manner. For linking the first and second image data a virtual image data space (<HIL><PDAT>9</BOLD><PDAT>) is created comprising an aspect or aspects (<HIL><PDAT>12</BOLD><PDAT>) of the appearance of the body part (<HIL><PDAT>10</BOLD><PDAT>) to be modified. The second image data comprise virtual image data elements (<HIL><PDAT>13</BOLD><PDAT>), and the modification of the appearance of the body part (<HIL><PDAT>10</BOLD><PDAT>) is provided by modifying the virtual image data space (<HIL><PDAT>9</BOLD><PDAT>) using virtual image data elements of the second image data, wherein the virtual image data space thus formed and the first image data not comprised thereof are linked to produce the third image data in dependence on the position data.</PTEXT>

Filed: 1997-03-26
Granted: 2000-11-09
Abstract: A method and apparatus for selecting a communication system in accordance with the geographic region in which the subscriber station is located is described. Upon successful acquisition, a system determination processor examines the received system identification information and compares it with system identification information stored in a universal system table to determine the geographical region of the identified communication system. The system determination processor then determines whether the acquired system is the most desirable system for use in the geographical region. If it is the most desirable system for use in the geographical region, the system determination processor selects the acquired system for providing service. If it is not the most desirable system for use in the geographical region, the subscriber station attempts to acquire a more desirable system using information from the universal system table.

Title: Anti-viral, anhydrous, and mild skin lotions for application to tissue paper products
Inventor: KLOFTA THOMAS JAMES
IPC: A61K9/70
Filed: 1997-05-30
Granted: 2000-11-02
Abstract: A lotion composition for killing such viruses as rhinovirus and influenza in addition to imparting a soft, lubricious, lotion-like feel when applied to tissue paper in amounts as low as from about 2 to about 20% by weight, and tissue paper treated with such lotion compositions are disclosed. The anti-viral action of the lotion is due to the addition of an organic acid such as citric acid or a mixture of adipic acid, glutaric acid, and succinic acids. The solubilization of the organic acids within the lotion matrix and with the infected mucus is aided by the addition of such hydrophilic solvents as propylene glycol and polyethylene glycols. The lubricious lotions also contain a plastic or fluid emollient such as petrolatum, an immobilizing agent such as a fatty alcohol or fatty acid to immobilize the emollient on the surface of the tissue paper web and optionally a non-ionic surfactant to improve wettability when applied to toilet tissue. Because less lotion is required to impart the desired soft, lotion-like feel benefits, detrimental effects on the tensile strength and caliper of the lotioned paper are minimized or avoided. The anhydrous nature of the lotions also aids in the maintenance of such physical properties as tensile and caliper.

Title: Apparatus and method for removing compounds from a solution
Inventor: SMITH CLARK ROBERT
IPC: B01D61/02
Filed: 1993-05-04
Granted: 1995-08-10
Abstract: Method and apparatus for the treatment of fluids, particularly wine, to remove unwanted substances. The wine is treated in a reverse osmosis (R.O.) treatment unit, generating a retentate and a raw permeate. The membrane for the R.O. unit is selected to pass in the permeate the unwanted substances, such as volatile acidity (ethyl acetate and acetic acid). The raw permeate is subjected to a treatment column. In the case of volatile acidity, this is an anion exchange column, which removes the acetic acid from the permeate by anion exchange and removes the ethyl acetate by base hydrolysis. This produces a purified permeate, which is depleted in volatile acidity, but contains other components desirable for the wine. The purified permeate is then recombined with the retentate from the R.O. column, and the result is wine with the volatile acidity and little else removed. This wine may be recirculated through the system to remove yet more of the volatile acidity. Before the anion exchange step, a low-energy distillation may be used to remove CO2, H2S, or other relatively volatile compounds. To remove acetaldehyde, a low-energy distillation column is used instead of the anion exchange column, and the distillation residue constitutes the purified permeate that is recombined with the retentate from the R.O. column. A high-energy distillation column may be used to separate out alcohol and water, and then add either the alcohol or the water back to the R.O. retentate, thus producing either a higher alcohol or a lower alcohol beverage.
