Title: Laser demolding apparatus and method
Inventor: DAGOBERT HENRI ARMAND
IPC: B29C37/00
Filed: 1995-06-09
Abstract: An automated demolding apparatus for reliably and repeatedly mechanically separating contact lens mold portions of a mold assembly without damaging the contact lens formed therebetween. The mold assembly includes a first front mold portion having a central mold section with a surrounding flange, and a corresponding second back mold portion also having a central mold section with a surrounding flange. A molded contact lens is formed between the front and back mold portions, and the flanges of the front and back mold portions are spaced apart and parallel to each other. The demolding apparatus includes restraining fingers positioned between and on opposite sides of the spaced flanges of the first and second mold portions and against the flange of the first mold portion. A separating fixture includes separating fingers positioned between and on opposite sides of the spaced flanges of the first and second mold portions and against the flange of the second mold portion. Before demolding, the second mold portion is irradiated by a laser beam, which is absorbed thereby to cause a substantial temperature gradient between the second mold portion and the contact lens being demolded. The temperature gradient causes a differential expansion and shifting of the surface of the heated second mold portion relative to the surface of the lens to lessen the adhesion therebetween to assist in separation of the mold portions, while leaving the lens in the first mold portion. During demolding, the separating fixture is rotated relative to the restraining fingers to progressively separate and peel the second mold portion from the first mold portion.

Abstract: A mobile communication system and a method
which is capable of performing a base station handover
operation with minimum communication interruption is provided.
Communication between a base station and a mobile station
is performed by using time slots of a Time Divison Multiple
Access transmission system. The mobile station monitors time
slots of control carriers from base stations around the
mobile station during periods other than the
current communication slot. As for monitoring a control slot in the
same timing as the communication slot currently used, the monitoring is performed
during VOX periods, in which no voice signal exists.
Since the control carrier state can be monitored during
communication with the original base station, interruption of
communication during a handover to a new base station can be
minimized.

Abstract: The disclosed invention provides a telescoping tip
protector for reducing the risk of needle sticks in used
catheter introducers. The pair of telescoping members (10,11) are
adapted such that they telescope from a housing (1) which is
gripped by the user with one of the telescoping members
locking in a position extending from the housing and the
second member locks in a position extending from the first
member. The second member (10) carries thereon a tip
protecting portion (12) which surrounds the cannula tip and
prevents the inadvertent jabbing, piercing or sticking of
the needle into a person after the use of the introducer
and engagement of the protector.

Abstract: A system for screening data packets transmitted between a network to be protected, such
as a private network, and another network, such as a public network. The system includes a dedicated
computer with multiple (specifically, three) types of network ports: one connected to each of
the private and public networks, and one connected to a proxy network that contains a predetermined
number of the hosts and services, some of which may mirror a subset of those found on the
private network. The proxy network is isolated from the private network, so it cannot be used as
a jumping off point for intruders. Packets received at the screen (either into or out of a host in the
private network) are filtered based upon their contents, state information and other criteria,
including their source and destination, and actions are taken by the screen depending upon the
determination of the filtering phase. The packets may be allowed through, with or without alteration
of their data, IP (internet protocol) address, etc., or they may be dropped, with or without an
error message generated to the sender of the packet. Packets may be sent with or without alteration
to a host on the proxy network that performs some or all of the functions of the intended destination
host as specified by a given packet. The passing through of packets without the addition
of any network address pertaining to the screening system allows the screening system to function
without being identifiable by such an address, and therefore it is more difficult to target as an IP
entity, e.g. by intruders.

Abstract: A continuously variable V-belt transmission (1) includes
a lateral pressure control valve (40) for controlling the
lateral pressures of a drive pulley (5) and a driven pulley (8),
and a controller (60) for controlling the lateral pressure
control valve. The controller (60) calculates a target belt
transmission torque (T BLT ) by adding a predetermined marginal
torque (T K ) to a transmission torque (T IN ) calculated based on
a signal detected from a driving condition of a vehicle, and
obtains, by means of a signal converter, a control signal for
controlling the lateral pressure control valve. With this
arrangement, it becomes possible to prevent slippage between
the belt and pulleys and to produce a most appropriate clamping
force even when the lateral pressure control oil pressure is
varied due to secular and environmental changes in the pulley
lateral pressure control valve, whereby the transmission is
rendered durable, efficient in fuel consumption and highly
reliable.

Abstract: Information is extracted from an OFDM signal, namely
a signal which comprises a succession of symbol periods T T 
each consisting of an active symbol period T S  and a guard
interval T G . To achieve this an input signal Y is
received, and a signal X is provided which is delayed by a
delay (10) having a time period equal to the active symbol
period T S . The complex product XY* of the input and
delayed signals is formed by a full four-component complex
multiplier (12) to provide a succession of pulses, one for
each symbol period. The complex product signal is
filtered using a filter (42; Fig. 4,5 or 6) based on
filter elements which provide a delay equal to the total
symbol period T T . Symbol timing synchronization
information is derived from the filtered complex product
signal in a phase-locked loop (44). The argument (phase)
of the signal in the pulses is detected by an angle-forming
circuit (70;82). The frequency of a local
oscillator (78) is controlled in dependence upon the
argument of the signal in the pulses. To reduce
continuous wave (CW) interference, any constant complex
component of the signal XY* is removed, such as by using
an integrate-and-dump circuit (80), or by extracting the
complex mean by low-pass filtering the XY* signal and
subtracting the mean from the XY* signal itself.

Abstract: With the object of reducing the circuit size and
shortening the lock-in time of a DPLL circuit used in a
receiver for radio data communication employing the GMSK
modulation system, a data latch circuit (23) and subtractor
(24) find the phase information difference for each symbol
from the incoming phase data. A modulation component
removal circuit (25) removes the modulation component from
the phase information difference. A frequency error
calculating circuit (26) integrates the phase information
difference over an interval of n symbols, multiplies this
integrated value by 1/n, and takes the result as the mean
frequency error value for the interval of n symbols, and
then outputs this to loop filter (32). A phase error calculating
circuit (27) further integrates over an interval of n
symbols the integrated value from the frequency error
calculating circuit, and multiplies the result by 2/n.
Adder (28) adds an initial phase latched by a data latch
circuit (22) to the output of the phase error calculating
circuit, and outputs the result to NCO (33) as the phase
error value. Operation of loop unit (36) is commenced with
a timing that is preset by the mean frequency error value
and phase error value.

reservoir chamber (22) is circulated to the oil reservoir chamber (22),
the crank chamber (23), the valve operating chamber (24) and the oil
reservoir chamber (22) by utilizing a pressure pulsing in the crank
chamber (23). Thus, it is possible to perform the circulation of
the lubricating oil without use of a special oil pump with any
operative position of an engine.
