Abstract: A twist-off can end assembly includes a cylindrical can body having an open end with a rolled flange extending around an exterior surface of the can body at the open end and a shoulder portion joining the open end with side walls of the cylindrical can. A collar surrounds the exterior surface of the can adjacent the open end, the collar including a can mating finish of an inner surface thereof and a closure engaging finish on an outer surface thereof. The collar is seated against the exterior surface of the open end between the rolled flange and the shoulder portion of the can body. A cylindrical closure is provided having a dependent peripheral skirt for operatively engaging the closure engaging finish of the collar. A lid member is secured to the open end of the cylindrical can body by a lid engaging portion of the cylindrical closure. Because of the arrangement described, rigidity is provided to the lip of the can body, the engaging collar results in a better drinking surface, and the cylindrical closure protects the drinking surface of the engaging collar prior to use thereof. Finally, due to the combination, the can body and can lid are formed of standard parts in a conventional and known manner.

Abstract: An automated demolding apparatus for mechanically separating contact lens mold portions of a mold assembly. The mold assembly includes a first front mold portion having a central mold section with a surrounding flange, and a corresponding second back mold portion also having a central mold section with a surrounding flange, with a molded contact lens being formed between the front and back mold portions. The demolding apparatus includes restraining fingers positioned between and on opposite sides of the spaced flanges of the first and second mold portions and against the flange of the first mold portion. A separating fixture includes separating fingers positioned between and on opposite sides of the spaced flanges of the first and second mold portions and against the flange of the second mold portion. Before demolding, the second mold portion is irradiated by a laser beam, which is absorbed thereby to cause a substantial temperature gradient between the second mold portion and the contact lens being demolded. The temperature gradient causes a differential expansion and shifting of the surface of the heated second mold portion relative to the surface of the lens to lessen the adhesion therebetween to assist in separation of the mold portions, while leaving the lens in the first mold portion. During demolding, the separating fixture is subjected to a substantially vertical prying motion relative to the restraining fingers to separate the second mold portion from the first mold portion.

Abstract: The present invention is a polyaxial locking screw plate assembly for immobilization of bones, via fixation thereto. In one embodiment, the invention includes a plate (100a) having axially tapered through holes (110a), into which holes bones screws (120), which have semi-spherical heads (122) rotationally freely mounted within the interior volumes of axially tapered coupling elements (132), may be inserted. The bone screws (120) may be inserted at a variety of angles which still permit the coupling elements (132) to seat within the holes (110a). The holes (110a) and the coupling elements (132) may be smooth, or threaded. The holes may be elongate so that during insertion the coupling elements (132) travel along the hole (110a), to provide dynamic compression to the bone. In a different embodiment, the holes (110b) may be partially threaded and partially tapered so that a two-piece coupling element may be utilised. In another embodiment, the coupling element may include an annular flange (180) portion.

Abstract: Fabrics containing melamine fibers are rendered more comfortable by carding the melamine fibers under vacuum so as to exhibit a narrower fiber diameter distribution ( delta d) and/or a narrower staple length distribution ( delta 1) as compared to melamine fibers which are carded in the absence of vacuum. In addition, more comfortable melamine fiber-containing yarns are produced by spinning the staple fiber at a lower twist multiplier (TM) as compared to conventional melamine fiber yarns. Most preferably, the melamine fiber-containing fabrics and yarns will be blended with at least one other type of synthetic fibers, such as aramid fibers.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for generating a hardware implementation of graphical code. The method comprises first creating a graphical program. A first portion of the graphical program may optionally be compiled into machine code for execution by a CPU. A second portion of the graphical program is converted into a hardware implementation according to the present invention. The operation of converting the graphical program into a hardware implementation comprises exporting the second portion of the graphical program into a hardware description, wherein the hardware description describes a hardware implementation of the second portion of the graphical program, and then configuring a programmable hardware element utilizing the hardware description to produce a configured hardware element. The configured hardware element thus implements a hardware implementation of the second portion of the graphical program.

Abstract: A method and system for downloading applications for controlling devices within a home audio/video network. Several consumer electronics products, e.g., television, VCR, tuner, set-top box (e.g., intelligent receiver/decoder, IRD), DVTRs, PCs, DVD players (digital video disk), etc., can be coupled within the network to communicate together via a standard bus (e.g, IEEE 1394 serial communication bus). In one embodiment, the HAVI network offers unique advantages consumer electronic vendors because the architecture offers for the home network many of the advantages of existing computer system networks. Namely, interconnected devices can share resources and provide open, well defined APIs that allow ease of development for third party developers. Devices are controlled using software abstractions of the devices or services called DCMs. The present invention provides a mechanism whereby applications can be downloaded, e.g., via a programmable intelligent device (e.g., set-top-box), and provide features and services within the network. These applications originate from a service provider, are transferred over a logical channel (e.g., the internet/TV cable, satellite broadcast) to the consumer premises and are instantiated on the intelligent device within the network. The application can query a registry of DCMs to determine its complement of functions and can ultimately control the devices of the network using the available DCMs.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for interrupting delivery of current from mains in a risk situation and to the related safety arrangement. The method and the safety arrangement utilise at least one smoke detector, such as a fire alarm (1) or a similar environment detector to give a message, such as an impulse when the surrounding conditions change and exceed pre-set limits, and a relay unit (2) or a similar switch connected to this, which is brought into conductive state by a message from the smoke detector. In accordance with the invention, the relay unit (2) is used to electrically connect the grounding wire (PE) and the neutral wire (Nsr) of the mains, resulting in part of the return current being directed on the basis of the conductor resistors to the grounding wire (PE), and in a normal situation there will then be imbalance in the zero sum current of the phase wire (L1) and the neutral wire (Nsr), and when this sum current value different from zero exceeds the excitation current value of the fault current safety switch (7), the fault current safety switch (7) is actuated, interrupting the delivery of current.
