Title: Sensor dispensing instrument, sensors generate electrical data during a fluid test
Inventor: MICINSKI RUSSELL J
IPC: G01N27/26
Filed: 1998-02-10
Abstract: A sensor dispensing instrument houses a sensor pack having a plurality of fluid sensors and is used to eject one of the sensors from the sensor pack so that it can be placed in a testing position with the sensor projecting from the instrument. Data generated by the sensor when a testing end of the sensor is placed in a fluid to be tested is transferred to data processing circuitry on a printed circuit board disposed within the instrument. Information regarding tests conducted can be displayed on a display screen disposed in the instrument In addition, user actuated buttons disposed adjacent a data port connector permit the user of the instrument to input data to the electrical components on the printed circuit board or obtain information about the performed tests. The manually actuated buttons, the data port connector and the display screen are electrically coupled to the circuitry on the printed circuit board by an elastomeric connector. The connector has conductive filaments on three sides thereof and is sandwiched between the display screen and the printed circuit board with circuits on the display screen and printed circuit board in contact with two opposite sides of the elastomeric connector and the user actuated buttons and data port connector making contact on a third side of the elastomeric connector. The elastomeric connector consists of a generally silicone sponge rubber core with U-shaped metal filaments wrapped around the core. <IMAGE>

Patent NZ-518611-A (NZ)
Title: Automatic diaper wetness warning device
Inventor: CHEN CHIN-CHEN
IPC: G08B21/20
Filed: 2002-04-29
Abstract: A diaper includes an outer water impermeable layer, an inner sheet of the water permeable film and several water absorbing layers between the outer and inner sheets.  First and second electrical conductors 22, each of which have separate first and second ends, are positioned in the water absorbing layers with the second ends of the conductors being positioned in the water absorbing layers and the first end of the conductors being extended to a plug unit 221 on the outer side of the outer water impermeable layer. The plug unit plugs into a connector unit 213 on a control circuit board 211 attachable to the outside of the diaper and when urine is present in the water absorbing layers adjacent the first and second conductors the resistance between the conductors decreases as water or urine wets the paper insulation around the conductors, which causes a signal transmitter 21 on the control circuit board to transmit a signal to be received by a remote receiver which produces a warning signal that the diaper is wet.  A battery powers the signal transmitter and so as not to unduly waste battery power, power to the signal transmitter is cut off within a predetermined period after the transmission of the wetness-indicating signal from the transmitter.

Title: Mill construction, such that metered material collides with an annular stationary surface at a sufficiently large radial distance
Inventor: VAN DER ZANDEN JOHANNES PETRUS
IPC: B02C13/282
Filed: 2001-06-27
Abstract: A rotor which rotates about a vertical axis and is fitted in a streamlined mill in which the stationary collision surface is constructed as a smooth (cylindrical) collision ring and is arranged an adequate distance away from the rotor and thus makes it possible to allow the material to collide, optionally several times, in an essentially completely deterministic manner, or at an essentially predetermined collision location, at an essentially predetermined collision velocity and at an essentially predetermined collision angle; by which a high probability of breakage-and thus the degree of comminution-is achieved, the energy consumption is reduced, wear is restricted and a crushed product is produced which has a regular grain size distribution, a restricted amount of undersize and oversize and a very good cubic grain configuration, the effect-i.e. the determinism-essentially not being influenced by the wear on the collision element, whilst the material does not rebound (or at least rebounds to a much lesser extent) against the rotor.
Patent NZ-524397-A (NZ)
Title: Quotation data exchange
Inventor: UREN JOHN
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2001-08-28
Abstract: A quotation data exchange for the control of an insurance repair process utilises a host computer to create a communication path between an insurer's computer system and multiple repairer's computer systems. The communications are selected from a set of predefined messages having predefined possible order of communication and predefined content fields in which data is entered into. Each computer system may have a relational database in which the relevant quotation data is stored. This data is used to automatically populate the messages' content fields before transmission. In other aspects a method of controlling an insurance repair process uses the quotation data exchange message set and a protocol for a standard procedure of regulating the data transmission between insurer and repairer computer systems during the insurance repair process is used, in which electronic communication is exchanged between the insurer and repairer with the communication being in the form of a set of electronic messages having predetermined content fields. The message set includes: a request for a quotation in response to a claim from insurer to repairer in respect of specified damage; a quotation between repairer and insurer for repair of the damage specified in a request for quotation; an assessed quotation that may or may not contain an authority from the insurer to proceed with the repair; a tax invoice for repair to insurer in respect of an authorised repair; and a payment authority from insurer to repairer in response to a request for payment.
