Title: Method of inspecting ophthalmic lenses
Inventor: DAVIS THOMAS G
IPC: G01M11/00
Filed: 1993-12-17
Granted: 2005-02-15
Abstract: A method of continuously and automatically inspecting ophthalmic lenses. The lenses are continuously moved along a predetermined path to move each of the lenses, one at a time, into a lens inspection position. Each time one of the lenses moves into the lens inspection position, a light source is activated to generate a one light pulse, that light pulse is directed through the one lens and onto an array of pixels and a set of signals is generated representing the intensity of light incident on the pixel array. The set of signals is processed according to a predetermined program to determine at least one condition of the lens, and an output signal is generated representing that one condition.

Inventor: SLIVKA BENJAMIN W
IPC: G06F13/10
Filed: 1994-10-11
Granted: 2004-12-14
Abstract: The present invention provides a method in a computer system of integrating a compression system with an operating system. The computer system preferably comprises at least a memory device and one storage device. A user-supplied device driver is provided for storage devices that are not supported by the computer system to enable the computer system to communicate with the storage devices. In response to initialization of the computer system, the operating/compression system is loaded into the memory device and begins executing before any user-supplied device drivers are loaded into the memory device. Any compressed volume files located on the computer system are assigned drive letters at this time. When the user-supplied device drivers are loaded into the memory device, drive letters are assigned to the various storage devices. A drive letter conflict resolution scheme is provided to resolve conflicts that occur when the operating system attempts to assign a drive letter. The compression system assigns drive letters to compressed volume files (in the case where a compressed drive is created from free space on an existing drive) or to host drives (in the case where the contents of an existing drive are compressed).

Title: Olefin recovery process
Inventor: DINH CONG X
IPC: C10G70/04
Filed: 1995-03-20
Granted: 2003-04-08
Abstract: A method  is  described  for recovering olefins  by condensation from the reaction effluent stream from a cracking furnace containing olefins and hydrogen wherein a membrane separator is employed to reject the hydrogen from the reaction effluent stream.  In such a manner, the dew point temperature of the stream can be increased and the energy  required  to  provide  refrigeration  for  olefin condensation can be reduced.  The method comprises primary condensation, vapor-liquid separation and membrane hydrogen rejection steps followed by a series of cascaded chilling and vapor-liquid separation steps.  Condensate recovered is processed  in  a  demethanizer  to  separate  light  end components.  Also disclosed is an olefins plant employing a membrane separator for rejecting hydrogen to enhance the energy efficiency and/or facilitate the expansion of plant capacity.

Abstract: An electronic scale is disclosed which has multiple overload protection features for protecting the load cell and a weight distribution plate from excessive strain due to vertical overload on the scale or from twisting resulting from an article being placed thereon which exceeds the load capacity of the scale, or from excessive forces due to mishandling of the scale. A first overload protection is in the form of a boss molded into the base of the scale on which the free end of the load cell abuts if an excessive load is placed on the platter of the scale. A second overload protection is in the form of a peripheral depending flange on the platter which abuts a peripheral portion of the a top cover to prevent excessive strain on the load cell and a weight distribution plate from excessive loading or mishandling of the scale. A third overload protection is in a plurality of ribs which are molded into the base and which extend upwardly adjacent the undersurface of the four corners of the weight distribution plate so that the weight distribution plate abuts these ribs in the event that an excessive load is placed on the platter in an off center manner. The weight distribution plate is also provided with means for causing the weight of an article placed on the platter in an off center manner to be transferred to the point where the weight distribution plate is attached to the free end of the load cell so that an accurate weight is measured by the scale regardless of the placement of an article on the platter.

Granted: 2005-03-15
Abstract: Method and apparatus for improving the separation efficiency of a cyclone separator intended for gaseous medium flows in which an incoming gaseous medium flow to be cleansed is directed into the cyclone separator through an inlet duct such that the incoming medium flow takes a downward, revolving flow movement inside the cyclone separator until the incoming medium flow reaches a bottom end of a conical lower part of the cyclone separator, and then becomes a revolving tornado flow that flows in a generally-upward direction opposite to the direction of the downward, revolving flow movement. An outlet flow of cleansed gaseous medium is directed through a center pipe situated in the cyclone separator. A component-flow pipe is arranged in the center pipe such that the component-flow pipe has an inlet opening in a wall of the center pipe. A component flow of the incoming medium flow is passed from a location within the cyclone separator through the inlet opening in the wall of the center pipe into the component flow pipe directed out of the component-flow pipe, against the tornado flow, such that the component flow disintegrates the tornado flow and thereby prevents solid matter from being carried along with the tornado flow through the center pipe into the outlet flow of the cleansed medium flow.
