Abstract: A cast mould for use in the manufacture of a contact lens by the polymerisation of a flowable precursor comprises a female mould part (2) and a male mould part (4). The female mould part (2) has a concave first surface region (10) adapted to receive the flowable precursor in use, and a second surface region (12c, 14a). The male mould part (4) has a convex first surface region (22) and a second surface region (24a, 24b, 24c). The male mould part (4) is engageable with the female mould part (2) to define a lens-forming recess (30) between the concave and convex surface regions (10, 22) and to define a first overflow cavity (32) between said second surface regions (12c, 14a; 24a, 24b, 24c). The first overflow cavity (32) is adapted to receive excess flowable precursor displaced from the lens-forming recess (30) in use, and the first overflow cavity (32) is provided with first retaining means such that, in use, after polymerisation, polymer in the first overflow cavity (32) is mechanically interlocked with a single one of the mould parts (2, 4) after separation of the mould parts (2, 4). <IMAGE>

Abstract: In an ice storage ( 10, 12, 14, 16 ) the aim is to ensure that ice is chipped off that surface of the ice mass in the storage, which stems from the water which froze to ice first. Likewise, efficient discharging of chipped-off ice to external conveyor devices ( 23 ) is ensured. This is achieved by means of a particular ice storage floor construction ( 16 ) consisting of parallel, elongate, tubular elements ( 18 ) placed with intermediate slots. The floor elements ( 18 ) carry carriers ( 20 ) in the form of strip-like ice-chipping elements, and the tubular floor elements ( 18 ) are supported individually rotational and are preferably driven collectively. The ice-chipping elements may alternatively be formed through the cornered cross-sectional shape of the floor elements, which provide distinct, longitudinal edge portions of good chipping and carrying properties.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for cleaning filters in which raw gas with particles suspended therein is conducted from a raw gas space to a clean gas space and through which intermittently a back-flushing gas is conducted from the clean gas space to the raw gas space, a flow dynamic control element is disposed in the clean gas space which blocks the outflow of gas from the clean gas space when a back-flushing gas is admitted to the clean gas space under a pressure, which exceeds the filter operating pressure so as to prevent excessive back-flushing gas losses during back-flushing. The flow dynamic control element is switched between an open and a blocking state by the pressure changes in the clean gas space without including any movable parts.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electrical component having at least two conductive tracks formed on the surface of a body of the component comprises moulding a structure defining first and second spaced portions connected by one or more connecting tabs and plating the structure with a conductive layer. A further moulding step fills the spacing between the first and second portions and the connecting tabs project outside an outer surface of the component. The are removed to isolate the first and second portions from each other. The insulating parts of the component are not subjected to the plating process, and there is therefore no risk of short circuit between the plated areas. The tabs maintain the structural integrity of the initial moulded structure to hold the structure together during the further moulding step, but can then be removed to enable different areas of the interface component to be electrically isolated from each other. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A piercing station for piercing sample container caps or thick stoppers. The piercing station has a structural frame with two vertical guide rods. A carriage assembly is slidably mounted on the guide rods and is further driven to move up and down along the guide rods. The carriage assembly carries a blade holder, which in turn holds a piercing blade assembly. The blade assembly includes a center blade and two cross blades interlocked together, such that the blade assembly has a generally modified "H"-shaped cross section for piercing a cap on the sample container. Lubricant left in or on the sample container cap by the piercing station reduces the force required by the sample probe to penetrate thick stoppers for sample aspiration and level sensing. The "H"-shaped cut helps to equalize the pressure in the sample container during sampling, so that clot detection is more effective.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a hydrolytically stable polyamide membrane having an open-pored, microporous and sponge-like support-layer structure, using a process involving thermally induced liquid-liquid phase separation. A solution of an aliphatic polyamide in a solvent system, which may include a solvent and a non-solvent for the polyamide, is extruded to form a shaped object. After leaving the die, the shaped object is cooled by means of a cooling medium until phase separation occurs and the polymer-rich phase solidifies to form the membrane structure. The solution of the polyamide in the solvent system contains an antioxidant agent as a stabiliser for the polyamide which, together with the solvent system, is selected in a way that the antioxidant agent is essentially insoluble in the solvent system at the phase separation temperature. The invention also relates to a polyamide membrane with improved hydrolytic stability, characterised in that  contains an antioxidant agent as a stabiliser for improving hydrolytic stability.
