Title: Automated method and apparatus for hydrating soft contact lenses
Inventor: KEENE DARREN SCOTT
IPC: B29C39/36
Filed: 1997-05-06
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: The drive has an electric motor (8) and at least one fan wheel (1) mounted on the motor shaft (3) with a slip coupling between the shaft and fan wheel dependent on the motor speed. An electromagnetic speed limiting and regulating device (5) limits the delivery of cooling air to the required quantity. The fan wheel speed can be reduced with respect to the motor speed from a defined motor speed so that the coupling drive effect coupling is reduced with increasing shaft speed to ineffectiveness, and is increased again of the slip coupling with reducing motor speed to full coupling drive. The fan wheel turns on a bearing in the fan wheel hub (11). The motor shaft carries permanent magnets (5) and segments (20) are cut out of the hub, which interacts with the permanent magnets and activates the speed limiting and regulation device depending on the motor speed.

Abstract: An automatic gain control circuit is disclosed for amplifying an input signal so that it has a specific correspondence with a reference value (Vref). The circuit comprises an input terminal (2) for receiving the input signal, a variable gain amplifier unit (4) for amplifying said input signal in response to a gain control signal. A peak detector unit (14) is provided for detecting peaks in said amplified input signal. The peak detector unit (14) has an attack time constant (Ta) and a decay time constant (Td), so as to supply a peak detector output signal (Vp) which is representative of the amplitude of the peaks in said amplified input signal. Further, a comparator unit (20) is provided for comparing the peak detector output signal (Vp) with said reference value (Vref) so as to derive an error signal (e) therefrom. An integrator unit (30) is further present for integrating the error signal (e) so as to obtain said gain control signal. The peak detector circuit comprises means for controlling said decay time constant in response to said error signal, said means for controlling said decay time constant being adapted to decrease said decay time constant for increasing error signals, in a situation when the peak detector output signal (Vp) is larger than said reference value (Vref). Further, the following relationship is maintained between the attack time constant Td and the decay time constant T4 of the peak detector means: Td = c.Tap, where c is a positive constant and p is a constant larger than 1. p is preferably equal to 2 and for c holds 20≤ c ≤200.
