Abstract: A method of automatically transferring contact lenses from a plurality of cups good positioned at a first location to a plurality of packages positioned at a second location wherein each good cup contains a transferable contact lens for placement in an individual blister package comprises a step of communicating positional information of good cup locations to a robotic device having an arm with one or more end effectors thereon, each end effector having a tip in connection with a vacuum and air pressure supply device, each end effector independently moveable with respect to the arm. Then, steps of applying a vacuum to the end effector tip to enable pick-up of a transferable lens from a cup located at a good cup location, and, controlling the robot to effect positioning of one end effector tip within the cup having the transferable lens therein to pick up the lens are performed. A further step includes controlling the robot to remove the end effector tip from the good cup location to position it within a blister package cavity, and finally, removing the vacuum and applying air pressure to the end effector tip to deposit the lens from the effector tip into a blister package cavity.

Abstract: A liquid dispenser (20) comprising a dispenser body (22), a check valve (24), a pressure regulating valve (26), and a pump piston (28). The dispenser body (22) has a generally cylindric inner surface (36) defining at least part of a pump chamber (46), an intake port for fluid communication with a source of liquid, an intake liquid flow path providing fluid communication between the intake port and pump chamber (46), a discharge port, and a discharge liquid flow path providing fluid communication between the pump chamber (46) and discharge port. The check valve (24) checks fluid flow from the pump chamber (46) to the intake port. The pump piston (28) has a head (112) at its inner end reciprocally slidable within and in sealing engagement with the pump chamber (46) between first and second positions. A vent passageway is defined at least in part by both the dispenser body (22) and pump piston (28) for venting air from the fluid receiving cavity. The dispenser body (22) and pump piston (28) are shaped and configured for opening the vent passageway when the pump piston (28) is in its second position and for blocking the vent passageway when the pump piston (28) is in its first position. When air is in the fluid receiving cavity, movement of the pump piston (28) from its first position to its second position opens the vent passageway to permit air to vent therethrough and prime the pump.

Abstract: A safety-shielded trocar having an obturator with a linear cutting edge surface defining a base width substantially less than the diameter of the safety shield is disclosed. When the trocar is inserted through tissue, the tissue dilates from the width of the linear incision to accommodate the size of the safety shield of the trocar, thus making it possible to provide an access opening greater than the incisional width made by the linear cutting edge surface of the obturator. In a preferred embodiment, the safety shield has a shield tip region which is asymmetric to facilitate the dilation of the tissue as the trocar is inserted.

Abstract: A frame-address matching function of a network controller is enhanced. In a full power-on mode, the controller performs conventional functions. In the low-power mode, the controller includes frame-address and frame-data matching, as well as pre-determined and programmable autonomous response to network protocol. If a match occurs with respect to the frame destination address or frame data, the system associated with the controller is placed in a wake-up state. If the controller is programmed to perform pattern matching inside the frame data area, upon such match in the frame data area the controller will generate and transmit on the network a simple response packet automatically. Conversely, if a match is not detected, no action is taken. The frame-data patterns are programmable with the capability to mask out certain data fields as desired which are protocol dependent and are substantially protocol dependent.

Abstract: A universal elastomeric compound whose improved
features display excellent permeability while simultaneously
having above average chlorine compatibility. This improved
elastomeric compound comprises a measured quantity of a
terpolymer of ethylene-propylene-non-conjugated diene
copolymer (i.e. EPDM, e.g. ROYALENE 3180), chlorinated
Isobutylene (e.g. Chlorobutyl 1066), furnace or carbon
black (e.g., N-550 Black), paraffinic oil (e.g., Sunpar 150
Oil), organofunctional magnesium silicate (e.g., Mistron
CB), magnesium oxide (e.g., Maglite D Bar), zinc oxide,
stearic acid, tetramethylthiuram disulfide (e.g., TUEX),
zinc thiophosphate (e.g., ROYALAC 136), and treated sulfur
(e.g., Spider Sulfur). Adding a specified quantity of said
ROYALAC 136, TUEX, and Spider Sulfur to the EPDM/butyl
compound imparts low taste and odor to water. Additionally,
adding a specified quantity of said Mistron CB to ROYALENE
3180 and Chlorobutyl 1066, provides for an elastomeric
compound having excellent resistance to chloramines.
Because the herein prescribed combination of EPDM, butyl and
other disclosed compositions exhibits low gas permeability,
a high degree of chlorine compatibility, imparts low taste
and odor to water, exhibits good flex characteristics, in
addition to yielding extractants below the requirements of
ANSI/NSF Standard 61 Health Effects Standard, the compound
can be effectively used as an elastomeric barrier (e.g., a 
diaphragm structure) in water storage and treatment systems,
valves, pumps or the like.
