Patent AU-690410-B2 (AU)
Title: System incorporating two different sphero-non-spherical contact lenses for correcting presbyopia
Inventor: MERCURE ROBERT
IPC: G02C7/04
Filed: 1996-01-10
Granted: 1998-04-23
Abstract: The first contact lens is placed on the dominating eye and includes a central spherical area for distance vision, which is surrounded by an annular non-spherical area having a diopter in the form of progressive addition which varies from zero addition at the inner periphery to a maximum addition at the outer periphery, and which enables vision, at all distances including reading. The second contact lens is placed on the dominated eye. The central area is spherical and adjusted for reading. The non-spherical annular area has a progressive reduction from maximum addition to zero addition, which enables vision from reading to intermediate and distance vision. This system provides in most cases 95-100% vision at all distances.

Title: Centrifuge clutch and blade design with control mechanism
Inventor: BEATTEY JEFFERY N
IPC: B04B11/04
Filed: 1999-06-02
Granted: 2004-01-15
Abstract: An improved blade design and method for enhancing the efficiency of operation of a centrifuge is disclosed based on measuring a varying value of the load on the centrifuge as the flow of contaminated fluid is injected into the centrifuge. The centrifuge has a plurality of blades with radially overlapping edges to keep the fluid being centrifuged compartmentalized and thus quiet for maximum efficiency. Additionally, the scraping blade assembly has blades which are angled in the scraping direction to force the solids towards the exit of the centrifuge, whether that be at the bottom or the top. A programmable logic controller monitors the load on the drive motor and compares a baseline value of load after accelerating the rotor to speed to the value of load while the contaminated fluid is injected into the rotor. The varying second value of load, measured during injection of fluid into the assembly, is compared to the baseline value of load to determine flow rate of the fluid being injected into the rotor assembly or to ascertain whether any dysfunction is occurring and to take appropriate steps to correct malfunction.

Title: Use of a mobile station as a cordless telephone
Inventor: HOKKANEN PETRI
IPC: H04M1/727
Filed: 1997-12-02
Granted: 2000-11-09
Abstract: Turning of a cellular network phone (MS) into a cordless phone begins by placing the phone in a charging device located in a home base station (HBS) and containing special communication pins through which the phone and the base station may exchange authentication information while the phone is in the charger. When there is a wireline connection between the home base station and the phone, any party may generate the authentication and ciphering information provided that the information is agreed upon in advance. According to a preferable embodiment, the parameters (RAND, SRES, Kc) used for authentication are generated by the mobile station and the parameters are transmitted through a fixed connection to the home base station which stores them. When the phone is removed from the home base station and a call is formed, the base station sends an inquiry (RAND) to which the mobile station gives a response (SRES) and if the home station finds that the response and a value earlier stored in memory are identical, a subscriber connection will be formed.

Title: Drip-less carbonated beverage container "flow control element" with suction spout
Inventor: ESSEBAGGERS JAN
IPC: B65D25/42
Filed: 2001-05-04
Granted: 2004-05-13
Abstract: The invention related to a "flow control element" with suction spout for carbonated beverage cans. The fluid remains under pressure while access is possible when suction is applied to the spout. The spout is attached to a housing enclosure that holds a spring, a centrally perforated membrane, a valve stem and a valve. This housing enclosure extends into the inside of the container, which extended part functions as a guide for the valve stem and that incorporates the valve seat. The valve stem is attached to the perforated membrane on one side and to the valve on the other side. When suction is applied the membrane moves the valve and opens a flow path, thereby allowing fluid to flow through the valve stem and the perforated membrane to the mouth. When the suction stops, a spring closes the valve against the gas pressure in the can or container.

Title: Process for the selective preparation of DIB from I-butene-containing C4 stream
Inventor: GAMMERSBACH ALEXANDER
IPC: C07C11/02
Filed: 2001-08-27
Granted: 2005-08-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing diisobutylene (DIB) from an i-butene-containing C4 raffinate I, in which the C4 stream is passed through a first hydroisomerization reactor (A) and a fractionation column (B) and is thus largely freed of 1-butene and 2-butene. It is subsequently dimerized over an acidic catalyst installed in a reactive column (E). The feed stream to this reactive column contains not only i-butene but also butanes which make the reaction temperature in the fixed bed controllable by removal of the heat of reaction. In the fractionation column (B), a side stream can be subjected to a further hydroisomerization in a reactor (C). <IMAGE>

Title: A method for the reduction or prevention of tannin-staining on a surface susceptible to tannin-staining through the use of a complexing agent for a transition-metal ion and compositions containing such a complexing agent
Inventor: MCNEEL THOMAS E
IPC: C09D7/12
Filed: 1991-10-28
Granted: 1995-03-30
Abstract: Discoloration of surfaces, such as painted or treated wood surfaces, by tannin-staining caused by the complexing of certain transition metal ions with tannate ions (the process is often referred to in the art as "tannin-stain bleed") is reduced or prevented (eliminated) by contacting a transition metal ion on a painted surface or surface to be painted with a complexing agent for the transition metal ion, such as by the addition of the complexing agent for the transition-metal ion to paint formulations or by pretreatment of the wood surface with the complexing agent before painting. It is believed that the complexing agents form coordination complexes with transition-metal ions on the surface of and within the paint film, thus preventing the formation of highly-colored complexes of the transition metal ions with the tannate ions derived from the tannins in the wood. This technique is applicable to all woods and other surfaces susceptible to tannin-staining and especially to stain-susceptible woods such as redwood and cedar. Using appropriate formulation or application techniques, the method may be used with water-based or solvent-based paints.
