Patent AU-4467100-A (AU)
Title: System and method for dynamic time and bandwidth allocation
Inventor: FABIANO LEONARD J III
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2000-04-18
Abstract: The present invention comprises a control system developed to efficiently share one or more satellite transponders or links among multiple satellite uplinking earth stations. The control system uses a terrestrial communications link, such as the Internet, to control access to the transponder or satellite links. Communications over this link may employ a TCP/IP protocol to connect the requesting uplinking earth stations with a centralized controller. The centralized controller may employ an algorithm to automate the process of gaining access to the satellite resources via terrestrial link. The control system (also referred to herein as the master arbitration server) for each transponder is placed in a centralized location, where it is accessible to all uplinking earth stations. It accepts requests via a terrestrial link to share a satellite transponder. All uplink stations that are requesting access to the satellite resources are identified such as by an IP address in the case of the Internet terrestrial link. Each satellite resource is identified by an authorization message generated by the master arbitration server. Requests are processed in a centralized location and result in channel assignments specified in terms of scheduled transmission start time, end time, frequency, and bandwidth, as well as other parameters for that satellite resource. An authorizing message is transmitted back to the uplink station when access is granted containing the resource grant specifications. A satellite resource may be granted in either a batch (continuous) or time division multiple access modes, as requested. Advantageously, the control system of the present invention can be applied to analog video, high-speed data, or other satellite transmissions.
Patent AU-4477493-A (AU)
Title: Article handling system
Inventor: PIPES GEORGE RICHARD
IPC: B65G1/04
Filed: 1993-08-19
Abstract: An article handling system (10) which essentially consists of a spiral slipsheet (16). To load articles, the slipsheet is rotated and deflected upward so that incoming articles are inserted into the space thus created between the coils of the spiral. As the articles spiral upward on the slipsheet, the upper articles are supported by the articles which have been fed in below them. To unload articles, the entire assembly is rotated 180 degrees and the rotation of the slipsheet reversed to reverse the above process. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus for, and method of, introducing a substance into an object
Inventor: DODGSON JOHN
IPC: G01N37/00
Filed: 2000-04-17
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for and method of introducing a substance into an object, particularly into a cell or cellular material. In a preferred arrangement apparatus receives the cell and preferably locates it between first and second electrodes and applies a voltage pulse to cause a disruption in the cell wall. This causes the cell to become permeable. The substance may then be introduced, for example under a fluid pressure. Cells may then be inspected and sorted into transfected and non-transfected types. This may be achieved automatically, for example by using electrophoresis.

Patent AU-5024199-A (AU)
Title: Combined bath tub/shower tub device
Inventor: WYSS MARTIN
IPC: A47K3/16
Filed: 1999-08-10
Abstract: A device consisting of a combination of a bathtub (1) with a shower tray (3), in which the bathtub (1), when in position B=Bathing, is positioned over shower tray (3) in such a way that its water outlet ends up over the shower tray (3), whilst when in the other possible position S=Showering, it stands upright, i.e. end over end, on one of its ends, thereby freeing access to shower tray (3). Bathtub (1) can easily be manoeuvred from one position to the other by a lifting mechanism and the application of force, preferably generated by an electric motor (13). By completely separating the bathtub from the shower tray and by positioning the bathtub over the shower tray, the edge of the shower tray is on the one hand kept as low as it would be if there were indeed a separate shower tray, whilst on the other hand, the edge of the bathtub is only slightly raised. As a result, both parts are extremely user-friendly, especially for elderly or handicapped persons. The device does not require any more space than a conventional bathtub alone whilst also providing an additional full shower facility in the same space.

A furhter instruction for permitting a faster load operation can also be issued by a processor when only a portion of the machine state information is required to be loaded. Other instructions are provided for various purposes useful in the multiple processor context.
