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 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.

Abstract: Cette invention porte sur un procédé permettant de transmettre un appel à un abonné se trouvant sur un site quelconque parmi plusieurs, tout en évitant des retards dans la transmission de l'appel reçu à l'abonné appelé. Lorsqu'un appel est reçu à un commutateur, un contrôleur au niveau du commutateur met en oeuvre une base de données intégrée pour identifier, parmi de nombreux sites auxquels le commutation peut être connecté, plusieurs sites où il est possible de joindre l'abonné appelé et fait effectuer, par le commutateur, des connexions simultanées entre le commutateur et les sites identifiés. L'invention concerne un autre procédé d'exploitation d'un réseau téléphonique dans lequel un abonné appelé reçoit d'un appelant une communication pour laquelle une réponse n'est pas attendue, l'abonné appelé pouvant utiliser librement son téléphone tout en continuant d'émettre un signal d'appel destiné audit appelant. Après avoir reçu un ou plusieurs appels sur son téléphone, l'abonné tape sur une ou plusieurs touches de son téléphone pour adresser un signal de refus au réseau téléphonique qui émet un signal d'appel destiné à l'appelant. L'invention concerne aussi un autre procédé permettant de transmettre à un abonné appelé ayant plusieurs numéros de téléphone une communication d'arrivée reçue sur un système de commutation. La communication d'arrivée est automatiquement analysée pour permettre de déterminer vers quel appareil, parmi plusieurs appareils ayant des numéros de téléphone différents, l'appel reçu doit être acheminé pour joindre l'abonné appelé, lesdits appareils pouvant être un téléphone sans fil ou un récepteur d'appels de personnes.

Abstract: Dry pastas or noodles are heated with wet heat for a short time so that only their surface layer portion is converted to the  alpha -starch; the pastas or noodles are then cooled, dried to remove the surface moisture, immersed in water to have it absorbed and subsequently cooled for a short time. Alternatively, the pastas or noodles that have been dried on the surface are put into a sealable container such as a plastic bag together with a specified amount of water and, thereafter, the container is sealed and the absorption of water is completed during storage or transport of the pastas or noodles. Pastas such as spaghetti and macaroni or noodles such as udon, soba and Chinese noodles can be cooked by boiling for a very short time and yet they develop same texture as can be attained by fully boiling dry or raw pastas or noodles.

Abstract: Powder mixtures and a method of forming and shaping the mixtures. The method involves compounding the components of powder materials, binder, solvent for the binder, surfactant, and non-solvent with respect to at least the binder, the solvent, and the powder materials. The non-solvent is lower in viscosity than the binder combined with the solvent. The solvent is present in an amount that is less than the amount that would be present otherwise. The components are mixed and plasticized, and shaped to form a green body. The choice of components results in improved wet green strength in the green body. The method is especially useful for extrusion processing of aqueous binder systems such as water and cellulose ethers and hydrophobic non-solvents, to form structures such as honeycombs. In the body, the ratio, upon subsequent firing, of the isostatic strength to the A-axis strength is at least about 20 % higher than in bodies made without the mixture composition of the invention. A honeycomb body having a ratio of the isostatic strength to the A-axis strength of at least about 0.33 upon firing.
