Title: Transient spectroscopic method and apparatus for in-process analysis of molten metal
IPC: G01J3/443
Filed: 1990-04-20
Granted: 1993-06-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus for in-process transient spectroscopic analysis of a molten metal, wherein a probe containing a pulsed high-power laser producing a pulsed laser beam having a substantially triangular pulse waveshape is immersed in the molten metal and irradiates a representative quantity of the molten metal. The pulsed laser beam vaporizes a portion of the molten metal to produce a plasma plume having an elemental composition representative of the elemental composition of the molten metal. Before the plasma plume reaches thermal equilibrium shortly after termination of the laser pulse, a spectroscopic detector in the probe detects spectral line reversals, as caused by absorption of radiation emitted by the hotter inner portion of the plasma plume to relatively coller outer portions of the plasma plume, during a short first time window. Thereafter, when the afterglow plasma is in thermal equilibrium, a second spectroscopic detector also in the probe performs a second short time duration spectroscopic measurement. A rangefinder measures and controls the distance between the molten metal surface and the pulsed laser.

Title: Intraocular lens folder
Inventor: NOY STEPHEN J VAN
IPC: A61F2/16
Filed: 1994-01-18
Granted: 1996-10-10
Abstract: An intraocular lens folder having a generally planar, open frame in the shape of a rounded "A" with a rimmed, open head at the top of the "A." The base of the "A" forms a pair of opposing legs or handles that join to form a hinge at the crotch where the handles attach to the head. The hinge allows the handles to be squeezed together and yet spring apart when released. Squeezing the handles causes the top edge of the head rim to compress and move toward the hinge. The open head contains a plurality of projections terminating in open, relieved jaws into which the IOL is placed. The location of the projections is such that when the handles are squeezed together and the rim moves toward the hinge, two of the jaws moves toward each other, causing the IOL to be folded in half.

With the appropriate selection of particle chemistry, virtually any separation or purification operation can be conducted, including selective bind/elute chromatography operations, on sample mass loads less than 1 microgram in volumes of a few microliters, as well as larger mass loads and volumes. The present invention also encompasses the composite structures as well as sample preparation devices containing the same. In a second preferred embodiment, self-retaining, self-supporting structures are cast in situ in a suitable housing and can be used for size-based separations wherein the cast structure acts as a semi-permeable barrier. The present invention also encompasses these structures as well as housings containing these structures.
