Title: Sanitary flexible band conveyor.
Inventor: ANDREWS JOSEPH D
IPC: B65G15/60
Filed: 1991-02-20
Abstract: A sanitary conveyor system is disclosed in which a conveyor bed, with or without curves, is mounted on a frame for movement of food trays between a plurality of work stations or movement of soiled trays from the cafeteria to the ware-washing area. A central box channel is mounted remote from the work stations and is provided juxtaposed to and below the pair of conveyor beds. The conveyor system includes a first set of pulleys being disposed adjacent to the tail end of the conveyor beds which are horizontally aligned and angled upwardly from the box channel to the conveyor beds such that each belt in the lower return flight path of the box channel are moved upwardly to the corresponding upper flight path of the conveyor bed. A second set of pulleys is disposed adjacent to the drive end of the conveyor bed and operatively connected to a belt drive unit such that belts are moved from the upper flight path of the conveyor bed to the lower return flight path of the box channel. Accordingly, in the lower return flight path, the belts are constrained within the box channel during their lower return flight path remote from the work stations.

Abstract: Dans un ensemble à crampons et à douilles pour chaussures à crampons, une douille (1) en matière plastique moulée forme un trou axial fileté (5) entouré d'un anneau interne (9). Un anneau externe coaxial (10) est radialement séparé de l'anneau interne pour former un espace annulaire (11). Un crampon (19) en matière plastique moulée comporte un manchon (21) à filetage externe pouvant se visser dans le trou, et un anneau coaxial (26) est espacé radialement vers l'extérieur à partir du manchon pour pouvoir glisser sur l'anneau interne (9) et entrer dans l'espace annulaire (11) lorsque le crampon et la douille sont montés. Quatre lames (29) constituant un cylindre font saillie de manière axiale dans ledit espace (11) à partir de l'anneau (26), et portent quatre nervures de blocage (28) à extension radiale disposées à des intervalles de 90° et faisant saillie de manière radiale vers l'extérieur à partir de l'anneau. Sur la surface interne dudit anneau externe (10), sont formées quatre configurations correspondantes présentant des évidements (15) destinés à recevoir les nervures (28). Un côté de chaque évidement porte une rampe d'entrée (16) tandis que l'autre côté porte un bloc d'arrêt (17). Lorsque l'on visse le crampon dans la douille, les parties saillantes montent sur les rampes et créent une résistance croissante à la rotation jusqu'à ce qu'elles viennent s'appuyer contre les blocs d'arrêt (17) pour empêcher toute rotation supplémentaire.

Abstract: A laryngoscope (1) is provided with a dynamometer for measurement and recording of the temporal force applied by an anaesthetist during exposure and keeping-free of a path in the mouth and throat for insertion of a tube into the trachea. The force-measuring elements (19, 29, 43) of the dynamometer are arranged in the handle (8) of the laryngoscope (1) and thus do not impair the possibility of sterilising the spatula (3). By measuring the temporal force it is possible, on the one hand, to assess the dexterity of the anaesthetist objectively, while on the other hand it is possible to obtain objective measured values for the pharmaceuticals used for the intubation operation with regard to their pharmacological characteristics, such as bringing about a rapid and deep muscle relaxation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A polycrystalline diamond cutting tool comprises a tool material (3) of polycrystalline diamond formed by low-pressure vapor deposition, which is bonded to a shank (4) of cemented carbide through a brazing layer (5). The thickness of the polycrystalline diamond layer (3) is set at 0.1 to 1.0 mm, while that of the brazing layer (5) is set at 10 to 50 µm. The brazing layer (5) is made of a material having a melting point of 950 to 1300°C, which is in the form of an alloy layer containing at least one material selected from metals belonging to the groups IVa, Va, VIa and VIIa of the periodic table and carbides thereof and at least one material selected from Au, Ag, Cu, Pt, Pd and Ni. The polycrystalline diamond cutting tool is improved in heat resistance and tool strength. In order to improve deposition resistance of the cutting tool, the surface roughness of a tool rake face (10) is set to be not more than 0.2 µm in Rmax. A portion of the polycrystalline diamond layer (3) up to a depth of 10 µm from the rake face (10) contains 99 to 100 atomic percent of carbon elements, and 99 to 100 % of carbon atoms are diamond-bonded. A surface of the polycrystalline diamond layer which has been in contact with the substrate during formation of the polycrystalline diamond layer defines the rake face (10), whose surface is subjected to ion beam machining and thereafter treated in the atmosphere at a temperature of 300 to 500°C.

Abstract: An exposure control apparatus 10 for a microfilm printer 12 includes an area (planar) light source 50, photo detector 52, and digital control circuits 54. An averaged density reading over at least the central five to twenty percent of the area of the microfilm frame 36 is measured. This density reading is then used to control the intensity of the exposure lamp 24 via a digital control circuit. The spatial relationships between the elements of the light source 50, the microfilm frame 36 being read, and the photodetector 52 are optimally arranged to provide an even illumination of the portion of the microfilm frame 36 being measured without interfering with the film exposure process and without creating undue space demands. 
     The microfilm density measurement provided by the apparatus 10 is used to automatically control the intensity of the exposure lamp 24 used in the exposure of a light sensitive medium 36 in the development of prints from the microfilm. The exposure lamp 24 light intensity that corresponds to the threshold level of the light sensitive medium 36 (the minimum light exposure level that will form an image with no film in the exposure station) is established as the zero density threshold intensity. A threshold offset that corresponds to the measured density of a microfilm frame 36 to be printed is added to the zero density threshold intensity to establish a desired exposure lamp intensity for exposing the microfilm frame for printing.
