Patent number: 6567981Abstract: A system for redistributing a multiple input audio/video and data signals having a redistributing device equipped to receive signals in a multiple formats and redistribute a selected signal to a user's premises over conductors, preferably existing twisted-pair telephone wire. The redistributing device is in interactive communication with a communications interface located in the user's premises which receives user-input control signals and contains switching circuitry which routes the selected signal to the user's premises where it is received by the receiving unit such as a television receiver. A single redistributing device services an entire multi-user network from a common distribution point, and services multiple users independently. The system of the invention does not interfere with normal use of the telephone network, so users can interactively access services provided by the system and use the telephone at the same time.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2000Date of Patent: May 20, 2003Assignee: Elysium Broadband Inc.Inventor: Ross A.

Patent number: 6299826Abstract: A gas plenum assembly for a fluidised bed apparatus, including a structure defining one or more side and base walls about a plenum chamber and means defining an inlet for gas to the chamber, arranged so that the gas flows generally upwardly into the chamber from the inlet. The assembly includes distributor means overlying the chamber, having multiple openings through which the gas exits the chamber for forming a fluidised bed above the distributor means. Means are disposed between the inlet and the distributor means for spreading the gas flow among the openings. The gas flow spreader means has a plurality of apertures for the gas flow therethrough, and the gas flow spreader means and the flow apertures are sized and arranged to substantially reduce cross-flow velocity of the gas at the openings.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2000Date of Patent: October 9, 2001Assignee: BHP Direct Reduced Iron Pty Ltd.Inventors: Allon Dudley Brent, Ross Jeffrey Haywood, William David Warnica, Grant Caffery
