Title: Gemstones and apparatus for their lapidation
Inventor: COLLIVA GIOVANNI
IPC: B24B13/02
Filed: 1984-03-21
Abstract: Apparatus for gem lapidation comprises a curved abrasive surface (S2) and a faceter (A-C). The abrasive surface (S2) is rotatable relatively to the faceter. The faceter is mounted at two points (A, B) on another spherical surface (S1) such that in use when a gem is held by a gem- carrying terminal (C) of the faceter against the abrasive surface (S2) subsequent movement of the faceter relatively to the abrasive surface causes the gem to move along a path having substantially the same radius of curvature as the abrasive surface whereby a constant angle is maintained between the gem carrying terminal and the normal at the point of contact of the gem with the abrasive surface (52). Gemstones having at least some spherical facets (convex or concave) may be so made. <IMAGE>

Title: Magnetic Actuator
Inventor: KUHN GARRY K
IPC: B65G25/08
Filed: 1984-04-03
Abstract: A mechanism for actuating a pusher bar (64) of an integrated circuit chip-carrier handler includes a rotor assembly (95) having a clutch portion (97) cooperating with a field portion (99) of the assembly (95). Leads (101) convey a signal from a microprocessor to the field portion (99) to induce a current through windings housed within the field portion (99). A magnetic field is, thereby, created about the assembly (95). The assembly (95) is disposed for rotation about an axis, and an armature (103), normally spaced closely proximate in an axial direction from the clutch portion (97), is disposed for revolution about the axis. The armature (103) is formed from a ferrous material so that, when the assembly (95) is energized to create the magnetic field, it will be drawn into, and held in tight engagement with, the clutch portion (97) of the assembly (95). A remote end of the armature (103) is pivotally connected to a corresponding pusher bar (64) so that, as the armature (103) is revolved about the axis, the pusher bar (64) will be moved in a direction along its longitudinal axis to urge chip carrier units (42) from the bottom end (62) of a magazine track into a conveyor station.   <IMAGE>
