Abstract: A corneal topography slit image alignment system 10, includes a half-slit projector 14 for projecting half-slit images onto a patient's eye 16. Half-slit images 28 and 30 are aligned into a single slit image. A camera 18 captures an image of the aligned slit image. Processor 20 including a memory 26 connected to the half-slit projector 12 and the camera 18 analyzes the alignment of the half-slit images 28 and 30. An edge detector 22 detects the edges of each captured half-slit image and determines an amount of misalignment of the half-slit images 28 and 30 relative to half-slit images being aligned into a single slit image. This amount of misalignment allows computer processor 20 to correct the three-dimensional coordinates of the slit images obtained by a slit beam system 14.

Abstract: Injection molding method, apparatus, and molded product, whereby a lifting structure and/or step is provided with a lifting portion which is configured to contact substantially one half of an end of the molded plastic article along a line substantially perpendicular to the lifting direction. Since the molded plastic article is lifted by its end, the article does not have to be solidified at its interior, thus allowing earlier removal of the article from the mold, reducing cycle time. Preferably, the neck ring engages only an outer circumferential portion of the molded plastic article during a majority of a mold opening stroke. Also preferably, a core-facing surface of the lifting structure forms a vent gap with the core, when in a mold-closed position.

Thereafter, the cinder is leached by an aqua-regia solution, the precious metals are recovered from the pulp via of sorption, chlorinating roasting is held at 600-700° C., the precious metals are leached from the cinder using diluted solution of aqua-regia, and then via sorption. The process is cost-efficient due to the use of chlorinating agent, reduction of the process steps number, decreasing of the roasting temperature, and the leaching by diluted acid.
