Inventor: GROSSWALD RALPH R
IPC: B29D22/00
Filed: 1992-05-29
Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing pharmaceutical capsules use an aqueous solution of a thermogelling cellulose ether composition and use capsule body pins and capsule cap pins as molds. The method involves heating the pins, dipping the pins into the solution to cause the solution to gelatinize on the surface of the pins, removing the pins and drying the gelatinized solution on the surface of the pins to form capsule bodies and capsule caps. Counterflow air is applied to provide drying from the inside and the invention provides humid air to slow down the rate of drying and prevent the formation of capsule defects. The invention also includes indirect drying of the capsules by radiative heat and direct drying by heating of the pins.

Abstract: A curable composition comprising the components (A), (B),
(C) and (D), viz.
   (A) an isobutylene polymer which contains in a molecule, at
least one alkenyl group capable of hydrosilylation reaction;   (B) a curing agent which contains at least two hydrosilyl
groups in a molecule;   (C) a hydrosilylation catalyst; and   (D) an organic compound which contains in a molecule, at
least one alkenyl or alkynyl group capable of hydrosilylation
reaction.    
     This composition is excellent in workability because of
its low viscosity, and has such advantages that the cured
product thereof has large strength and further that the
weight loss by heating is small. Since a large amount of an
inorganic filler can be blended with this composition, it is
possible to obtain a composition having high thixotropy and
little sagging.

Abstract: A data compression system (200) employs an encoder
(210) optimized to decorrelate and make independent from
the original signal (202), the quantization noise produced
during signal compression by a quantizer (214). Because
the quantization noise produced during signal compression
is made independent from and orthogonal (i.e.,
uncorrelated) to the original signal (202), filtering is
achievable by filter (223) which is an adaptive oriented
uncorrelated Weiner (AOW). The filter (223) adaptively
selects a filter mask from a plurality of available filter
masks. Mask selection is based, in part, upon either
filter orientation or generation of a minimum variance
output. Image component processing is performed on a local
(e.g., pixel-by-pixel or 2-by-2) basis as opposed to a
global basis (e.g., across the entire image).

Abstract: A bar code reader includes a semiconductor laser diode
as a source of an elliptical shape divergent laser beam and a
shaping section for shaping the elliptical shape divergent laser
beam to provide a shaped laser beam in the form of a circular
shape collimating laser beam. A distance measuring section
measures a distance to a bar code label and generates a
distance information signal. A temperature sensor is attached
to a casing of the shaping section. The temperature sensor
detects the ambient temperature and generates a
temperature information signal. A focal position controlling
section conducts a focal position control in response to the
distance information signal and the temperature information
signal so that the shaped laser beam will have its focal
position on the bar code label. A scanning section lights the
bar code label with the shaped laser beam that has been
subjected to the focal position control. A light intercepting
section intercepts reflected light by the bar code label and
generates an output indicative of the intercepted reflected
light. A decoding section decodes the output. An outputting
section outputs the decoded result to an external device. The
shaping section includes a collimating lens, a first cylindrical
lens and a second cylindrical lens, all of which have a short
focal distance.

prepurifier. The productive capacity of the adsorbent

Abstract: A method and apparatus for significantly
reducing and even eliminating the First Wafer Effect is
disclosed. In a first aspect, the First Wafer Effect
is reduced by heating a deposition chamber (following
an idle period) to its steady-state temperature by
using a coil to which RF power is applied. In a second
aspect, the First Wafer Effect is reduced by similarly
heating a deposition chamber (following an idle period)
to a temperature greater than its steady-state
temperature and then cooling the chamber to its steady-state
temperature. Preferably a gas is flowed into the
deposition chamber in both the first and second aspects
to increase the chamber's heating rate. Further, a DC
voltage may be applied to the deposition chamber's
target to cause sputtering of target material on non-production
objects for target conditioning.

Abstract: An envelope feeder has a movable weight (16) with a
relatively large surface area (18) adjacent one of two
substantially parallel side walls (14,15) of the
envelope feeder. The weight has gears (22,23) on
opposite ends of a shaft (17), on which the weight is
pivotally mounted. The gears cooperate with racks (24,
26) in the two side walls to allow up and down motion of
the weight while the shaft stays parallel to the feeder
floor (11). Thus the position of the movable weight is
never skewed. That side wall (14), which is remote from
the relatively large surface area of the movable weight,
has a limiter (30) extending therefrom towards the other
wall (15). The limiter acts only on envelopes exceeding
a predetermined width, to limit the height of a stack of
such envelopes so that the power of the envelope
advancing motor for feeding the envelopes from the
bottom of the stack is not exceeded.
