Title: Automated apparatus and method for preparing contact lenses for inspection and packaging
Inventor: MADSEN NIELS JORGEN
IPC: B29D11/00
Filed: 1995-06-08
Abstract: An apparatus is provided for removing and transporting articles, such as contact lens sections from a manufacturing line to inspection and packaging stations. The lenses are deposited in a transparent plastic primary package which carries the lenses through the inspection station and becomes part of the primary package when a cover is sealed thereto. The invention includes various assemblies, including lens transfer assemblies, deionized water filling and removal assemblies, a water degassing assembly, a lens inspection assembly, and a lens package sealing assembly. The lenses are removed from pallets at a post hydration station, transported and spatially redistributed, and deposited in the primary packages disposed on a second set of pallets. The packages on the second set of pallets are filled with degassed deionized water. The contact lenses and packages are then transported to an inspection station. After inspection, the lenses and packages are transported to a water removal assembly, and then to another transfer assembly. This transfer assembly separates those lenses which passed inspection from those which did not, and places those that did in a consolidating assembly. The lenses and packages are then filled with saline solution and a foil label is then sealed thereto to form the primary package.

Title: Improvements in intersecting vane machines
Inventor: BAILEY H STERLING
IPC: F01C11/00
Filed: 2004-12-21
Abstract: The invention provides a toroidal intersecting vane machine incorporating intersecting rotors to form primary and secondary chambers (208, 202) whose porting configurations minimize friction and maximize efficiency.  Specifically, it is an object of the invention to provide a toroidal intersecting vane machine that greatly reduces the frictional losses through meshing surfaces without the need for external gearing by modifying the function of one or the other of the rotors from that of "fluid moving" to that of "valving" thereby reducing the pressure loads and associated inefficiencies at the interface of the meshing surfaces. The inventions described herein relate to these improvements.

Patent CA-2568771-A1 (CA)
Inventor: IBAR JEAN-PIERRE
IPC: B29C48/38
Filed: 2005-05-25
Abstract: A method for controlling the viscoelastic properties of a polymer comprising the steps of feeding a polymer melt into a first and optional subsequent means for applying a strain rate, each means for applying a strain rate being underfed or overfed according to the relative volumetric flow rates into the out of each means for applying a strain rate. The method further comprises subjecting the polymer melt in the means for applying a strain rate to a total shear rate that comprises contributions selected from the group consisting of pressure flow through an orifice, rotational flow about an axis that is parallel to the direction of flow of the melt, vibration in the transverse or longitudinal direction relative to the flow direction of the melt, and any combination thereof. The flow profile history that the polymer melt is subjected to is controlled by the choice of first, optional second and optional subsequent volumetric flow rates, the temperatures of processing in the first, optional second and optional subsequent means for applying a strain rate, and the shear rates exerted by the pressure flow, rotational flow and vibration in each or any of the first, optional second and optional further means for applying a strain rate. There are optionally intermediary zones in between the first means for applying a strain rate and the optional second means for applying a strain rate or the optional second means for applying a strain rate and the optional subsequent means for applying a strain rate or both, and the temperature in the optional intermediary zones are optionally used for control of the flow profile history of the melt.

Patent CA-2571354-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FENNELL MARTIN
IPC: C01F7/0613
Filed: 2005-06-23
Abstract: In the Bayer process for the production of alumina, problems are caused by silica dissolving in the caustic liquor. This silica arises from the presence of kaolin in the bauxite. A process for removing this kaolin comprises contacting the bauxite with sodium hydroxide solution to form a mixture, and subjecting the mixture to intense ultrasonic irradiation to cause cavitation;  this can be carried out at temperatures below 100~C. This enhances both the dissolution of kaolin and the precipitation of sodium aluminium silicate.  Silica remaining in solution in spent Bayer liquor (after digestion and then precipitation of gibbsite) can be removed by a similar ultrasonic irradiation treatment to cause it to precipitate before it forms scale in heat exchangers.
