Abstract: A method for removing and transporting ophthalmic lens fabricating mold sections from a molding device to an inert chamber (58) in a predetermined time, controlled by a central processor, is disclosed. The method includes starting a timer upon opening the molding device and exposing the mold sections; actuating a robotic arm (60) to transport the mold sections from the molding device to an intermediate position using a compound movement; actuating a cam-controlled arm (112) to transport the mold sections from the intermediate position to a pallet (54) held on a conveyor belt (160) at a cam-arm pre-part release location; and releasing the pallet (54) to move on the conveyor belt (160) to the inert chamber (58) for continued transport of mold containing pallets (54') to a treatment or processing facility for producing and/or packaging of the contact lenses. The method also includes raising a nest (90) to receive the mold sections at the intermediate position; and lowering the nest (90), after transfer thereon of the molded sections from the robotic arm (60), for transferring the molded sections to the cam-controlled arm (112).

Abstract: The invention concerns a stretcher comprising a carriage (21) subjected to a back-and-forward motion (2) for depositing in successive segments (2a ... 2d) a web of fibres (2) on an outgoing conveyor (6) moving along a direction (9). In order to produce ranges of different plies in the transverse profile of the lap (4) formed on the outgoing conveyor (6) by the web deposited in mutually overlapping segments, the points of inversion of direction (21) in the backward and forward motion of the carriage are different. As a result the successive folds (2ab, 2cd; 2bc, 2da) of the same direction are differently positioned, and the number of web plies in the lap is not the same over the whole width of the lap. The invention is useful for streamlining the lap freely and accurately.

Abstract: A pulse oximeter sensor (410) with a light source optimized for low oxygen saturation ranges and for maximizing the immunity to perturbation induced artifact. Preferably, a red (112) and an infrared light source (114) are used, with the red light source (112) having a mean wavelength between 700-790 nm. The infrared light source (114) can have a mean wavelength as in prior art devices used on patients with high saturation. The sensor of the present invention is further optimized by arranging the spacing between the light emitter (112,114) and light detectors (116) to minimize the sensitivity to perturbation induced artifact. The present invention optimizes the chosen wavelengths to achieve a closer matching of the absorption and scattering coefficient products for the red and IR light sources. This optimization gives robust readings in the presence of perturbation artifacts including force variations, tissue variations and variations in the oxygen saturation itself. <IMAGE>
