Patent CA-2175310-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KEENE DARREN SCOTT
IPC: B29C33/34
Filed: 1996-04-29
Abstract: An automated means for hydrating a molded hydrophilic contact lens is provided in which a first robotic assembly removes a plurality of contact lens molds from a production line carrier, each of the lens molds having a contact lens adhered therein. The first robotic assembly transports the molds to a first staging area where the lens molds are sandwiched between a lens mold carrier and a top chamber plate to form a first hydration carrier. A first rotary transfer device then hands the first hydration carrier to a second robotic assembly which immerses the first hydration carrier in a hydration bath to hydrate the lens and to release the lens from the lens mold. While the lens is immersed in the hydration bath, each lens is transferred from its respective mold to a lens transfer means found within the top chamber plate. After a predetermined period of time, the second robotic assembly removes the first hydration carrier from the hydration bath and hands the hydration carrier off to a second rotary transfer device which rotates the first hydration carrier and aligns it for transfer to a third robotic assembly. The third robotic assembly then carries the top chamber plate and contact lenses through a series of steps in which the lens mold carrier and lens molds are removed from the top chamber plate. The lenses carried on the lens transfer means are then flushed and transported for assembly with a hydration base member to form a second hydration carrier for processing the lens in subsequent extraction stations. The second hydration carrier is then transported through a plurality of flushing or -64- extraction stations wherein fresh deionized water is introduced into the hydration chambers at each hydration station to flush leachable substances from the hydration chamber. At each flushing station, fresh deionized water is introduced into the hydration chamber to remove previously extracted impurities and the products of hydrolysis. A final robotic dis-assembly device separates the top chamber plate and lens transfer means from the hydration base member, to provide fully hydrated lenses in a concave lens holding means ready for transfer to inspection and packaging stations.

Title: Optical sources having a strongly scattering gain medium providing laser-like action
Inventor: LAWANDY NABIL M
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 1995-03-06
Abstract: A gain medium is comprised of a multi-phase system wherein: a first phase is an electromagnetic radiation emission phase; a second phase is an electromagnetic radiation scattering phase; and a third phase is a transparent matrix phase. By example, the emission phase may consist of dye molecules, the scattering phase may consist of high contrast particles, and the matrix phase may consist of a solvent such as methanol. In some embodiments of this invention the emission and scattering phases may be the same phase, as when semiconductor particles are employed. A smallest dimension of a body comprised of the gain medium may be less than a scattering length associated with the scattering phase. It is shown that nearly thresholdless laser behavior is observed in strongly scattering optically pumped dye-methanol solutions containing colloidal TiO2 or Al2O3 ruby nanoparticles. The emission from the high gain colloid exhibits a slope change in the linear input-output characteristics above a critical pump pulse energy. The change in slope is accompanied by a spectral line narrowing with a bichromatic spectrum appearing at high pump energies.

Patent CA-2191391-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BUNZA GEOFFREY J
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1996-11-27
Abstract: A system for simulation of target electronic systems combining interacting elements of hardware and executing software, in part by physical emulation means and in part by abstract software simulation. A processor emulator is coupled to a hardware simulator by a communications link. The processor emulator provides the functionality of the target microprocessor while the hardware simulator simulates additional target circuitry. The processor emulator is coupled to a memory containing the target program. Most computer instructions in the target program do not require interaction with the target circuitry simulated on the hardware simulator. However, when a computer instructions requires the interaction of the target microprocessor and the target circuitry, a communications link control the communication between the target microprocessor and the target circuitry. The various components of the system can be coupled together via a conventional computer network. A translator/mappertranslates the computer data requiring the interaction between the target microprocessor and the target circuitry from the data format of the emulator to the data format of the hardware simulator. The translated data is then mapped to a set ofsimulated pins on a processor model shell in the hardware simulator.
