Abstract: Disclosed is an ophthalmic lens inspection method and apparatus comprising a camera to capture an image of an ophthalmic lens which has been illuminated by a light source. Location and intensity at each camera pixel is converted to an electrical quantity which is then transferred and stored in a memory. A computer containing instructions for comparing the intensity and location values of the pixels starts near the center of the receptor field and continues toward the edge of the field until an intensity deviation is encountered. By evaluating the pixels containing intensity variation, an outline of the lens edge is attained. An annulus is generated enclosing the actual lens edge. All the pixels are changed from an absolute intensity value to a gradient value, represented by two transition edges. Feature extraction is performed to locate defective pixels and place them into groups. Once the groups have been determined each is given a score based on the number, type and severity of the defective pixels placed into that group. From that, a weighted score can be given to the entire lens and the lens either passes or fails.

Abstract: An intradermal drug delivery device for delivering a liquid drug to a subject via the subject's skin includes a housing having a lower surface provided with an adhesive coating for adhering the housing to the subject's skin. An expansible-contractible chamber within the housing defines a reservoir which is expanded upon being filled with the drug and contracted to dispense the drug. A hollow needle extends through the lower surface of the housing and has an inner end which communicates with the reservoir and an outer end which projects outwardly of the housing a short distance to penetrate through the epidermis and into the dermis of the subject's skin when the housing is adhered thereto. The device permits delivery of drugs of relatively large molecular size and at slow rates which can be precisely controlled. A method of delivering a liquid drug intradermally includes adhering the intradermal delivery device to the skin of the subject and activating the means for actively discharging the at least one drug from the reservoir to the subject's skin via the needle.

Abstract: A cyclonic power wash system uses high pressure, high temperature water for selectively cleaning large, flat, concrete or asphalt surfaces. The sprayed water is reclaimed by vacuuming it through holes in the bottom of a reclamation ring attached to the underside of the mobile cyclone sprayer, filtering the vacuumed water and returning it to a storage tank for re-use by the system. The filtration tank initially filters out large matter in an inlet trough and smaller matter in a plurality of cascading chambers. A rotary union in the sprayer prevents the water, passing from the inlet of the rotary union to the discharge thereof, from leaking through or around a seal formed by pressing together a pair of hard, durable sealing surfaces, for example, silicon carbide, one of which is non-rotatably slidingly received in an upper recess of the union's fixed housing and the other, affixed to a spindle rotatably received and retained in a lower recess of the housing. The sliding fit interface of the non-rotatable seal face in the upper recessed housing is sealed by an o-ring supported at its inner bore by extended portions adjacent the central bores of the members between which it is sandwiched. Upward and rotational forces are applied to the spindle in reaction to the water exiting from nozzles affixed to a spray bar attached to the spindle.

Subsequently, the stored accumulator value is decremented by a second iterative value until the stored accumulator value is less than the stored trigger value. During each iteration incrementing the stored accumulator value, a current frequency of the clock spinal is compared to a desired frequency value, and if the two values are different, the first iterative value (r) is corrected by a predetermined rate over one or more subsequent iterations until the frequency of the generator clock signal corresponds to the detected value of the desired frequency.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for determining thrombotic risk in an individual. The method involves determining the activity of Protein C and Protein S in the plasma of the individual thought to be at thrombotic risk by adding to a plasma sample obtained from the individual (i) a first reagent in an amount sufficient to induce or activate coagulation in the plasma, (ii) a second reagent which activates endogenous protein C in the plasma, and (iii) a third reagent comprising calcium salts, phospholipids or tissue thromboplastin, or a combination thereof. To a second plasma sample from the same subject is added a reagent which induces or activates coagulation, and a buffer or other material which does not activate protein C, and a third reagent as described above. The time, rate or both, necessary for the conversion of endogenous fibrinogen to fibrin in both the first and second samples is measured. The same steps are performed on normal control plasma, and the difference or ratio in the times, rates, or both, obtained above are determined. The difference or ratio is indicative of the thrombotic risk in the subject. A kit adapted to carry out the method also is the subject of the present invention. The methods and kits of the invention in other embodiments may comprise a first reagent comprising a synthetic substrate, a second reagent which in the first sample from the subject activates protein C, and in the second sample, a second reagent which does not activate protein C. In these embodiments, the rates of hydrolysis of the synthetic substrates are measured and compared.

The method involves preparing a cell membrane fraction from adult, fetal, or embryonic animal cells; treating the cell membrane fraction with one or more substances which bind to non-sex specific molecules in the cell membrane fraction to form conjugates between the non-sex specific molecules and the substances; separating the material in the cell membrane fraction which does not bind to the substances to obtain a subfraction containing sex specific molecules; optionally, removing the substances in the conjugates to obtain a subfraction containing non-sex specific molecules; and, isolating the sex specific molecules and optionally non-sex specific molecules in the subfractions. Sex specific and non-sex specific molecules and methods of using the sex specific and non-sex specific molecules for sexing are also described.

Abstract: A mineral crusher comprises a roller (50) having a plurality of impeller bars for impelling mineral material against a collection plate (100), upon which a collection of mineral material accumulates. The material thrown against the accumulated material is reduced by impact with the accumulated material. The collection plate is adjustable, so as to adjust the size of mineral accumulation, and is tiltable so as to spring away from the roller when oversize objects, e.g. pieces of metal or blocks of wood pass through the crushes. The arrangement may have an advantage of incurring reduced wear on the collection plate (100), which may require less frequent replacement. The collection plate (100) is relatively easy to manufacture.

For 100 parts of (II), (I) contains 0-20 parts by weight of (IV), 0-30 parts by weight of bulk and 0-10 parts by weight of plasticiser. (I) contains at least one pigment (0-2 parts by weight for 100 parts of (III)). (II) has a polar component in water, formamide and dimethyl sulphoxide of 0-20 mJ/m<2> (5-12 mJ/m<2> in water and 0-10 mJ/m<2> in formamide preferred). (I) is used in printing. Because (I) has a significant polar component, virtually all the ink is transferred from (I) to the paper. This ensures a good quality print and avoids the need to clean or change the printing blanket too frequently.
