Title: Pattern generating apparatus and method, and apparatus and method for custom-made gloves
Inventor: PARK CHANG KYU
IPC: G06Q50/04
Filed: 2010-01-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for producing custom-made gloves. In the present invention, an order management server receives customer information and hand scan data from a measurement and order processing apparatus, generates pattern information to be used for glove production using a pattern generation apparatus, and requests a leather processing apparatus to produce a glove according to the pattern information. According to the present invention, it is possible to realize an online ordering and production process involving size measurement and manufacturing procedures in the production process for leather gloves. In addition, as body scan data is obtained by a low-cost 2D body scanner instead of a high-cost 3D body scanner, it is possible to produce precise custom-made leather gloves at reduced cost.

Title: Anterior segment drug delivery
Inventor: ALSTER YAIR
IPC: A61F9/00
Filed: 2010-06-03
Abstract: A therapeutic system comprises an ocular insert placed on a region outside an optical zone of an eye. The ocular insert comprises two structures: a first skeletal structure and a second cushioning structure. The first structure functions as a skeletal frame which maintains positioning of the implant along the anterior portion of the eye and provides support to the second, cushioning structure. This first structure maintains the attachment of the therapeutic system to the anterior portion of the eye for at least thirty days. In some embodiments the first structure remains a constant size and shape, e.g. a ring shape, a ring with haptics, or a curvilinear ring that is confined to and restrainingly engages the inferior and superior conjunctival fornices so as to retain the implant within the tear fluid and/or against the tissues of the eye.

Patent EP-0202331-A4 (EP)
Title: Apparatus for collecting and/or growing protected biological cultures.
Inventor: KOLL LAUREL ARDEAN
IPC: G01N33/48
Filed: 1985-12-03
Abstract: The coaxial annular space between a rod and a slidably received outer cylinder is divided into three serial chambers by four seals. Two seals are spaced apart and affixed to the front of the rod. Two seals are spaced apart and affixed to the cylinder rearwardly of the first two. By relative forward rod movement, a specimen capturing zone is exposed at the desired site of a biological specimen. Thereafter, rearward rod movement reseals the capturing zone. Further, rearward rod movement reduces the volume of a media containing chamber and thereby moves the collection zone into contact with the desired medium. The third chamber prevents contamination of the biologically active portions of the structure during operation. Pre-scored break lines formed in the cylinder and rod facilitate severance of unneeded portions after collection of a biological specimen and/or after transportion to a suitable laboratory facility. Color-coded indicia are used on the rod and/or cylinder so as to facilitate proper operation. Reusable extension pieces may be attached to the cylinder and/or rod so as to adapt a standard size module to different desired end uses.

IPC: B01D9/00
Filed: 1995-10-30
Abstract: A surface-cooled fluid bed crystallizer apparatus (10) and method are disclosed wherein submerged heat exchanger surfaces (typically heat exchanger tubes (14) or plates through which a coolant is passed) are bathed with a stream of gas bubbles (preferably air). The gas bubbles increase localized velocity at the heat exchanger surfaces, improves heat transfer, reduces crystallization on the heat exchanger surfaces and gently keeps the crystals in suspension, thereby avoiding unwanted nucleation as is characterized by the use of mechanical circulation devices. By continuously removing the depleted magma and crystals, the crystallizer (10) can be operated in a continuous mode.
