Patent number: 9504242Abstract: An apparatus suitable for controlling vegetation which apparatus comprises a hot-liquid reservoir (28), release means (38) connected to the hot-liquid reservoir (28) and at least one nozzle (74), for applying a stream of foam that contains steam, connected to the reservoir through the release means. The apparatus includes a heating means (34) to keep the liquid hot so the pressure is above atmospheric pressure. The liquid may be pumped by a pump (36) through the hot-water reservoir (28), the water being heated on demand by heaters (34) within the reservoir (28). The apparatus is either propelled by or mounted on a vehicle; and during use of the apparatus to control vegetation the vehicle provides power (24) to the heating means.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2011Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Weeding Technologies LimitedInventors: Richard Hefford Hobbs, Jason Peter Morehen, Malcolm Bruce Myers

Publication number: 20160009581Abstract: A water treatment facility for treating raw water and delivering the treated water to a plumbing network. The flow rate is measured by a flow meter. The raw water is passed through a pre-filter and is then temporarily stored in a first tank. The water level in the first tank is kept within a desired maximum and minimum level. The water from the first tank is delivered to a plurality of filter modifies. The plurality of filter modules are arranged so that the flow can be configured to flow through all the filter modules simultaneously, or any one or more filter modules exclusively. The flow path through the filter module(s) can be arranged to flow either sequentially or in parallel. A disinfectant system is included that is capable of producing and delivering a disinfectant agent into the outflow on an as needed basis.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2014Publication date: January 14, 2016Inventor: Malcolm Bruce GORDON

Patent number: 8472022Abstract: A system and method for spectroscopic detection of loss in a resonator cavity is disclosed. The system can include a number of components. A tunable laser source can generate a laser beam. A frequency locking system can lock the frequency of the laser beam to a resonance of the resonator cavity or lock the length of the cavity to the frequency of the laser beam. The first modulation element can modulate the laser beam at a first modulation frequency to generate a modulated laser beam. The input coupler can direct the modulated laser beam into the resonator cavity. The first directing element can direct a first portion of light reflected from the input coupler to a first photodetector. The first demodulator can demodulate the first modulation signal to generate a first error signal which is a function of the loss in the resonator cavity.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2008Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: The Australian National UniversityInventors: Jong Hann Chow, Malcolm Bruce Gray, Ian Charles Murray Littler, David Ernest McClelland
