Title: Controlled ink drop spreading in hot melt ink jet printing
IPC: G01D9/00
Filed: 1989-05-18
Abstract: In the particular embodiments described in the specification, a hot melt ink jet system includes a temperature-controlled platen provided with a heater and with a thermoelectric cooler electrically connected to a heat pump, and a temperature control unit for controlling the operation of the heater and the heat pump to maintain a substrate on the platen which receives the ink at a temperature which provides a desired spot size without causing print-through. In certain embodiments, the substrate temperature is from about 20 DEG  C. above to about 20 DEG  C. below the melting point of the ink and is determined by subtracting half the difference between the jetting temperature and the temperature at which the ink has a viscosity of about 200-300 cp from the latter temperature. The apparatus also includes a second thermoelectric cooler to solidify hot melt ink in a selected zone more rapidly to avoid offset by a pinch roll coming in contact with the surface of the substrate to which hot melt ink has been applied. An airtight enclosure surrounding the platen is connected to a vacuum pump and has slits adjacent to the platen to hold the substrate in thermal contact with the platen.

Patent EP-0668789-A4 (EP)
Title: Parts washer.
Inventor: FARNSWORTH ALBERT M
IPC: B08B3/00
Filed: 1993-11-12
Abstract: The basin of a parts washer includes a spigot for showering parts to be washed with a solvent and a drain for draining contaminant entrained solvent. The drain conveys the contaminant entrained solvent into a removable tank containing a filtering fluid, such as water, of a higher density than the solvent. The solvent percolates upwardly through the filtering fluid into an upper tank. During percolation, the contaminants are segregated from the solvent and migrate to the bottom of the tank. In a variant parts washer, the solvent floats upon the filtering fluid in a common tank and the contaminants, in the form of a sludge, are segregated from freestanding filtering fluid and are collected as a moist, but not wet, sludge in a removable tank for disposal. When a water based solvent is used with any of the parts washers, only a single fluid is present; nevertheless heavy particulates and insoluble contaminants and debris will settle and migrate into the respective removable tank.

Patent EP-0700273-A4 (EP)
Title: Apparatus for drilling a curved bore
Inventor: ROMANO JACK W
IPC: A61B17/16
Filed: 1994-05-05
Abstract: A method and apparatus for drilling a curved bore are disclosed, wherein the apparatus includes a handle (20) and a removable cartridge (174) in which cutting bits (240) are disposed to produce the bore. The handle includes a trigger (66), (66'), or (66''), which the user squeezes toward a grip (24) of the handle to both energize a pneumatic motor (42) and to advance the opposed cutting bits in curved arcs at different rates. As the trigger is squeezed, a curved guide arm (234) conveying one of the cutting bits is advanced more rapidly than the other curved guide arm, passing a median point in the bore and then being withdrawn as the other curved guide arm and cutting bit are advanced past the median point. Thus, interference between the two cutting bits is avoided and a clean bore hole is produced. In addition, the removable cartridge minimizes breakage of a flexible drive cable (238) used to transmit rotational force to the cutting bits from rotating left and right extended drive shafts (190 and  192). A straight segment (236) of each curved guide arm is provided adjacent the point where the cutting bit connects to the flexible drive cable, to substantially eliminate stress on the flexible drive cable at that point. Instead, the stress is shifted to a portion of the flexible shaft where its flexibility is greater. A push-button release (122) is provided on a barrel (26') of the handle to facilitate release of retainer pins (106') that engage push bars in the removable cartridge so that the removable cartridge can more easily be disengaged from the barrel.
