Patent EP-0941829-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BICKERT STEFAN
IPC: B29C33/30
Filed: 1999-03-08
Abstract: The unit clamps a backing section with contacting surfaces in a carrier. A recess is produced in the carrier. Spring-loaded clamping sections are produced with contact surfaces, to clamp the section precisely, when tensioned, against the wall of the recess and the inner contact surface. The clamping components are set for a defined clamping tension. The second contact surfaces are machined (e.g. honed) in this position, such that their shape is made complementary to the shape of the contact surfaces of the section to be clamped. Independent claims are included for a clamping unit which holds the section with contact surface in a carrier, and the production of the mold for contact lenses. Preferred Features: The molding tool has two halves, each including a carrier, with inserts having contact surfaces. Molding tool halves pivot to face and contact each other, guided by alignment pegs.

Abstract: A method of coating phosphor particles by chemical vapor deposition. The phosphors
are coated by introducing an inert gas into a reaction vessel; charging phosphor particles
into the reaction vessel; heating the reaction vessel to a reaction temperature;
introducing a coating precursor which includes carbon into the reaction vessel for a time
sufficient to saturate the phosphor particles with the precursor; continuing precursor
flow into the reaction vessel; introducing an oxygen/ozone mixture into the reaction
vessel, the oxygen/ozone mixture comprising less than 4.4 wt. % ozone; and
maintaining the inert gas flow, oxygen/ozone mixture flow and further precursor supply
for a time sufficient to coat the phosphor particles. The process produces phosphors
having from 2200 to 6300 ppm of carbon on the coating and provides lamp efficacy's of
greater than 6.1 lm/watt.

Abstract: In order to realize reduction of the electromagnetic sound
and cooling improvement of the field winding (107) and the
stator winding (106), a liquid cooling system (114) is
adopted as cooling means, and the claw shape magnetic poles
(108) of the rotor and the field winding are molded with a
good thermal conduction resin (116) so as to make the rigidity
of the rotor high, and whole end coil part and the
slot part of the stator core are solidified with the good
thermal conduction resin so as to make the rigidity of the
whole stator high in the same way as the rotor. Thereby,
the generated electromagnetic sound is reduced. Moreover,
the cooling system is improved by conducting the heat of
the heat source through the good thermal conduction resin.

Abstract: Method for the adaptive folding of plates, characterised in
that, during the folding of the plate (12), the folding
angle (A) of the plate (12) is constantly measured; in that
the force exerted on the plate (12) by the stamp (3) is
constantly measured simultaneously; in that the thus
measured values are transmitted to the control unit of the
folding machine, such that the force of the stamp (3) on
the plate (12), which initially increases rather strongly
(43), increases to a maximum value (44) which coincides
with a folding angle (A) which is bigger than the desired
folding angle (A); in that the force of the stamp (3) on
the plate (12) is subsequently decreased to a random low
value; in that the further course of the line (48) is then
extrapolated from said line so as to calculate the folding
angle (50) that would be obtained when the force of the
stamp (3) on the plate (12) would be entirely removed; in
that the thus calculated elastic rebound (51), increased by
the number of degrees (52) of the angle (46) one wishes to
obtain, is subtracted so as to subsequently make the stamp
(3) carry out a movement which is so large that, on the
basis thereof, the plate (12) is deformed at an angle which
is equal to the desired angle (46), decreased with the
total elastic rebound (51-52).

Abstract: A golf ball marker (30) is carried in open display on a fabric article of golf clothing
or other fabric golf accessory and remains in position due to the force of magnetism.
To produce this effect, a layer of magnetic material (24) is secured in position in contact
with a concealed side of a layer of fabric (22) in the article of golf clothing or other golf
accessory. The golf ball marker (30) is constructed of a ferrous material so that when it is
placed into contact with an exposed surface of the same layer of fabric (22) against which
the magnetic material is secured opposite the layer of magnetic material (24), the ball
marker (30) is held by the force of magnetic attraction against the exposed surface of the
fabric layer (22). The ball marker (30) remains in position until purposefully dislodged by a
force that opposes the magnetic field created by the magnetic material. This force may
be applied by the thumb and forefinger of the golfer's hand to remove the golf ball
marker (30) from the fabric layer (22). The layer of magnetic material (24) may be incorporated into
the bill (16) or band of a hat or cap (10), the bill or band of a golf sun visor, the closure flap of
a golfing glove, or in a golf towel.

Abstract: A brachytherapy source for use in radiation treatment of the body includes radioactive material, and a housing. The housing is used to contain the radioactive materials, and is formed by at least one tube having two ends. The two ends of the at least one tube are sealed by welding such that a radiation distribution of the brachytherapy source approximates a point source that is free of cold zones to minimize underexposure or overexposure of the body to radiation and to simplify the placement of the brachytherapy source in the body. Preferably, the ends of the at least one tube are sealed by laser welding, and a laser performs the laser welding while the brachytherapy source is rotated relative to the laser, which is activated in short pulses. For example, the laser is activated in a first series of pulses to initially collapse one end of the at least one tube and to at least partially close off the one end, then the laser is activated for a second series of pulses to seal off the one end of the at least one tube and remove excess material, next the laser is activated in a third series of pulses to initially collapse the other end of the at least one tube and to at least partially close off the other end, and finally, the laser is activated for a fourth series of pulses to seal off the other end of the at least one tube and remove excess material.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of cleaning artwork by removing contaminates from a painted or patina surface of the artwork. A pulsed laser is used having a wavelength of between 2.3 and 3.3  mu m, such as an Er:YAG having a wavelength of 2.94  mu m, to stimulate the presence of an OH radical contained in the contaminant film layer to be removed or introduced to the paint surface contaminated film using an OH containing agent applied with a brush, cotton swab or spray. The surface to be removed is covered by a glass cover slip and has the laser energy impinged thereon. The laser energy interacts with the OH radical present in the contaminant or introduced into the surface by the operator. The reaction of the laser energy with the OH radical deposits the contaminated film material onto the glass slide cover. Contaminants that remain on the paint surface can then be removed by scalpel or cotton swab using a wetting agent.
