Patent NZ-502257-A (NZ)
Title: Welding supply inverter turned off before output power switched
Inventor: STAVA ELLIOTT K
IPC: B23K9/10
Filed: 2000-01-11
Abstract: A welding current power supply includes an inverter 12 with an input connected to a three phase power supply L1, L2, L3 and a rectifier 18 at the output of the inverter which supplies a positive voltage on terminal 90 and a negative voltage on terminal 92 when the inverter is on.  High current pulses of opposite polarities are supplied to the welding electrode E via the inductor 110 as the transistor switches SW1, SW2 are successively switched on and off by control signals 80, 82.  So as to be able the reduce the snubbing capacity of the snubbers 100, 102, the controller 70 determines the amplitude of the welding current from sensor 60 and turns the inverter off via the signal on line 72 before the switches SW1 and SW2 are activated to change the output current polarity.  When the welding current has decayed from the maximum value, 1200A, to a lesser, predetermined value, 100A, the presently conducting switch (SW1 or SW2) is turned off and the presently non-conducting switch (SW2 or SW1) is turned on.

Title: Drive system for a partition wall system
Inventor: JANUTTA REINHARD
IPC: E05F15/638
Filed: 1999-01-06
Abstract: A drive system for a partition wall system is comprised of a plurality of individual elements which horizontally move on or in a guide track, said track being fastened to the ceiling, via rollers or corresponding means. Said individual elements can move such that they can be automatically brought from a successive arrangement thereof into a parked position. At least one part of the individual elements comprises separate driving means (14, 23). The relevant element(s) can be moved along the guide track by the driving means. Said elements can be moved independently of or at the same time as the other elements. The drive system comprises a central control unit (1) having a microprocessor and different memories. The output signal of the control unit transmits data and addresses over at least one two-wire connection (data-bus) to all driving means (14, 23) simultaneously in order to control the driving means (14, 23) of the individual elements which permits the individual elements and additional auxiliary functions for or in the individual elements to be individually controlled and regulated. The modification of data and addresses is carried out via an operator terminal (29).

Patent NZ-508954-A (NZ)
Title: Temperature control method and apparatus
Inventor: JAMES MALCOLM BARRY
IPC: B22C9/06
Filed: 1999-06-09
Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of cooling machines. Typically, the method of cooling is useful in the cooling of dies used in the moulding of plastics or metals. The method relies upon taking advantage of the latent heat of vaporisation of a cooling liquid. A liquid is maintained in a closed chamber in a die such that the liquid is in contact with the surfaces to be cooled and a space above the liquid surface is available. The pressure in the space is adjusted, typically by vacuum equipment, such that the boiling point of the liquid is adjusted to a level which enables the principle cooling process to involve latent heat.

Patent NZ-528962-A (NZ)
Title: Improved medical instrument flow stop interface
Inventor: MORRIS MATTHEW G
IPC: A61M39/28
Filed: 2002-04-11
Abstract: A fluid infusion pump includes a platen between an outer door and the pumping mechanism. The platen is located so that as the outer door of the pump is moved to the closed position, it moves the platen to position the fluid flow tube into occlusive contact with the pumping mechanism before the platen engages a flow stop formed integrally with the tube and releases the flow stop to permit fluid flow, thus avoiding a free flow condition. The door also includes a handle having a sear with a hook that engages the flow stop when the door is in the closed position. As the door is opened, the hook moves the flow stop to the occluded position before the platen is moved away from the tube thus preventing a free flow condition. The platen includes a flow stop release portion that is offset from the remainder of the platen that operatively engages a release tab on the flow stop to permit movement of the flow stop to the fluid flow configuration. The platen is mounted to the housing with a floating hinge and datum pins located on the face of the pumping mechanism precisely locate the platen into position with the pumping mechanism and thereby result in precise positioning of the fluid tube.

Title: A dispenser and a method of filling a liquid additive container
Inventor: HOOD PAUL STEPHEN
IPC: A47J31/41
Filed: 2007-10-16
Abstract: A dispenser has a base 1 engageable with a liquid additive container 2 by relative movement of the container toward the base along the axis E. The container has an inlet port 12 and an outlet port 21. The dispenser includes a main flow passage 18 and a flow restrictor 19 in the main flow passage. An outlet 11 in the base of the dispenser communicates with the inlet port 12 and an inlet conduit 20 connects the main flow passage with the outlet 11. An inlet 22A in the base communicates with an outlet port 21 and an outlet conduit 22 connects the main flow passage with the inlet 22A. Either one or both of the inlet 22A and the outlet 11 of the base is provided in a surface 9A of the base which is parallel to the axis E. In operation water to which the additive is to be added flows through main passage 18. The restrictor 19 increases the pressure upstream adjacent conduit 20 and decreases pressure downstream adjacent conduit 22. The pressure of the fluid upstream of the flow restrictor acts on the top surface of the piston 7 via the inlet conduit 20, outlet 11, inlet 12, outer chamber 5 and ports 6. As the piston 7 moves towards the base the liquid additive flows via the inlet 22A and the outlet conduit 22 into the low pressure zone of the main flow path downstream of the restrictor at a rate dependent on the main flow rate.
