Patent AU-6758398-A (AU)
Title: A multi-user communication system architecture with distributed transmitters
Inventor: MILLER DAVID S
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 1998-03-04
Abstract: A new signal processing architecture for base stations and gateways (124, 126) used in spread spectrum communication systems (100) that simplifies data transfer, reduces required bus capacity, and does not require special synchronization of signals that are to be combined. A series of transmission modules (5081-508M) are used to transfer data to corresponding ones of a series of analog transmitters (4121-412M) used to form communication circuits for each system user. Each transmission module (5081-508M) employs a series of encoders (502MR) and modulators (504MS) to form spread communication signals, using appropriate PN spreading codes. Spread spectrum communication signals from each module (508) for each system user (D), are summed together (5101-510M) and transferred to a single analog transmitter (412) associated with that module. The signals being combined are automatically synchronized by common timing signals used for elements within each module. The number of processing elements within each module is such that at least one processing path is available for each user or user channel over which it is desired to transmit information through the connected analog transmitter (4121-412M). Data is output from the modules (5081-508M) at a greatly reduced transfer rate which can be more easily accommodated using current technology. This is very useful for satellite based communication systems, or high capacity cellular systems, and this system architecture can be accomplished cost effectively using a series of easily manufactured circuit modules.

Title: Point-of-purchase coupon dispenser
Inventor: EMOFF MICHAEL J
IPC: G09F3/02
Filed: 1996-08-12
Abstract: A pop-up coupon dispenser for small sheets which have a repositionable adhesive is provided with a flexible plastic cable tie. The dispenser includes a box filled with such sheets having an adhesive stripe along one margin and stacked in accordion fashion, the sheets being printed as manufacturer's coupons supplied to a retailer who attaches the box by the cable tie to a wire rack, to a cardboard display or other suitable support, such as a shelf, and cuts off the excess end of the cable tie. Customers can remove the coupons one-at-a-time and affix them by their adhesive backing to the product for which the coupon is redeemable. A check-out cashier can, therefore, immediately determine that the purchaser is purchasing the product for which the coupon was issued. The dispenser box may also be provided with a conventional shelf clip connected to the bottom of the dispenser box. Each coupon could comprise an unperforated sheet but could have a tear line adjacent the margin of the adhesive so that, in use, the customer can adhere the adhesively-coated portion of the coupon to the product to which the coupon applies. At the check-out counter, the cashier tears away the remainder of the label along the tear line. The torn-away portion, which is used by the retailer to redeem the coupon, will be easy for the check-out cashier and others to accumulate and handle. Also, the face of the sheet opposite the adhesively-coated portion may have advertising matter which the customer would take, because adhered to the purchased product, when leaving the retail store. In addition, a blinking LED could be housed within the dispenser box in alignment with an opening in the wall of the box to bring added attention to the dispenser box.

Title: Suit for problems associated with orthostasis
Inventor: REINHARD ANDREAS
IPC: A61F13/08
Filed: 1998-04-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a suit for problems associated with orthostasis which is comprised of a pair of trousers made of a slightly stretchable textile material. A plurality of essentially linear or wavy strips (14, 15) are inserted along the entire length of the trousers. Said strips are made of double-walled, liquid-tight, slightly stretchable textile material. The two layers of this material are connected to one another at connection points. This results in the production of cavities which are filled with a liquid. Suspenders (11) hold the trousers and are simultaneously constructed as reservoirs (12) for the liquid. In order to increase the pressure on the abdominal region, a flat bladder (13) can be placed in the trousers and, like the strips (14, 15), can be supplied with fluid from the reservoirs (12). As a result, liquid columns are produced which extend over a large portion of the body height. Said columns build up a compensating pressure on the legs and the lower abdomen. The trousers are closed by two lateral zip fasteners (21). The knees and genital region are covered by elastic inserts (16, 17). The strips (14, 15) are either essentially straight or wavy on both sides.

Title: Process for shipping and ripening fruits and vegetables using a controlled atmosphere container system for perishable products
Inventor: HERDEMAN ROBERT W
IPC: A23L3/3418
Filed: 1994-06-08
Abstract: A controlled atmosphere container system for shipping, storing, and ripening perishable products, wherein the container system includes a plurality of individual, transportable containers to be cconnected from time to time with a central source for providing acontrolled atmosphere to those containers. A controller enables the container system to optimally allocate the capacity of the central source of the controlled atmosphere based upon the relative atmospheric conditions of the containers attached thereto and the capacity of the source according to a predetermined hierarchy of priorities for allocating the controlled atmosphere gas to the individual containers. In a preferred arrangement, the central source for the controlled atmosphere gas includes at least one distribution control unit which acts to selectively direct controlled  atmosphere gas to individual containers in accordance with the allocation hierarchy of the system. The same containers are used to implement a method for uniformly controlling the ripening of bananas and other perishable products from harvest to delivery during shipping. Freshly harvested, unripened perishable products are loaded into the containers and cooled to a holding temperature in a range of from about 57  DEG F to about 70  DEG F. One the products are stabilized at the desired holding temperature, a controlled atmosphere including ethylene is substantially immediately provided to the internal volume to uniformly initiate ripening of all of the loaded products. Once ripening has been initiated, the ethylene is reduced within the internal volume by displacement with a low oxygen controlled atmosphere, which is maintained within the container during storage, transportation, and delivery procedures. Prior to unloading the ripened products from the container, the atmosphere within the internal volume is returned to normal conditions. Once the loaded products have been stabilized at the desired holding temperature and exposed to the ethylene atmosphere to initiate ripening procedures, adjustments to the controlled atmosphere and temperature within the internal volume can be utilized to "tune" the ripening process as desired to provide ripened products for delivery within a range of timing schedules.

Date May 1, 1997An improved process is provided for the recovery of catalyst components from oligomeric impurities which are formed during the industrial preparation of 2,5-dihydrofuran by the catalytic isomerization of vinyl oxirane followed by an essential separation of the oligomeric by-products which otherwise cause deactivation of the catalyst. The catalyst components consist essentially of (a) an onium iodide and (b) a Lewis acid selected from the group consisting of the chloride, bromide or iodide of the metals zinc, tin, cobalt and bismuth, preferably zinc, where the catalyst optionally includes a donor ligand. This separation is carried out by the steps of extracting the initial product mixture containing zinc, cobalt or bismuth halides as Lewis acids with hydrocarbons or chlorinated hydrocarbons containing from 5 to 14 carbon atoms in order to form two separate phases on standing, separating off the extraction solvent phase which contains the dissolved catalyst and then recovering the separated catalyst by distilling off the extraction solvent. The recovery of tin iodide requires the presence of a special onium halide component such as phosphazenium or phosphazanium halides, preferably the iodides, having a high molecular weight and especially those which contain from 16 to 72 carbon atoms while remaining soluble in the extracting agent.

Title: Gas discharge lamp and power distribution system therefor
Inventor: SMALLWOOD ROBERT C
IPC: H05B41/24
Filed: 1994-09-02
Abstract: Fluorescent type lamps are arranged to have high frequency power derived from standard, commercial A.C. sources either directly or from power levels distributed from a master ballast. When the master ballast is employed, it functions as an interface between the primary power source and a distribution network to one or more modules so as to relieve the modules of operations such as initial power form conversions, filtering and power factors correcting which require large components. The module or modules driven by the master ballast output are contained within the lamp envelope or attached as an extension of the lamp envelope. The module is formed of elements mounted as a miniaturized unit configured to fit within the lamp envelope or to attach to the end of the envelope. The module includes oscillator components mounted on an envelope board so as to form an assembly with a cross-section compatible with the perimeter of the envelope itself. The module can operate independent of a master ballast unit by including power handling circuitry within the module.
