Abstract: The invention provide a method for cast-molding hydrogel contact lenses, especially silicone hydrogel contact lenses by using plastic molds of a poly(cycloalkylene-dialkylene terephthalate) copolymer. These plastic molds do not need to be degassed and stored in an oxygen-free atmosphere (e.g., N2 or Ar) before being used for cast-molding silicone hydrogel contact lenses in the absence of oxygen and resultant silicone hydrogel lenses can still have relatively high ion permeability and relatively low variation in targeted optical power, compared with silicone hydrogel lenses made from a conventional mold material, such as polypropylene. The invention also provides plastic molds for cast-molding silicone hydrogel contact lenses.

Abstract: Methods and devices for treating obesity. Pressure is applied to gastric walls in at least one segment of a stomach such that the pressure distends the gastric walls and induces satiety. A hollow capsule can be used to distend the gastric walls. Alternatively, a doughnut-shaped ring (302) may be inflated to an amount sufficient to create intragastric tension and induce satiety. A c-ring (402) including at least one balloon (404) may be placed at a segment of the stomach, where the balloon inflates to a size that creates tension at the segment. A biocompatible material can be injected into the fundus and antrum of the stomach to stiffen the gastric wall to create a fullness feeling.

Title: Oil spill absorbing peat
IPC: C02F1/68
Filed: 1982-08-04
Granted: 1985-07-24
Abstract: A process is provided for preparing a novel highly oil absorbent peat product useful to control oil spills for oil spill clean up. The process involves first preparing an initial mixture by mixing peat with an alkaline earth metal basic product, e.g., a magnesium/calcium hydroxide lime substitute material, e.g., at a ratio of about 1:15 to about 1:45. Then, that mixture is partially dried by heating either directly in an oven or a microwave oven or indirectly by a heat exchanger for a predetermined period of time, e.g., at a maximum temperature of about 150 DEG C, for a maximum time of about 15 minutes. Then, a further mixture is prepared by mixing additional such basic material with the partially dried peat, e.g., magnesium/calcium hydroxide lime substitute material with the partially dried peat, e.g., at a ratio of about 1:10 to about 1:20. The further mixture is then heated, either directly in an oven or a microwave oven or indirectly by a heat exchanger, e.g., at a maximum temperature of about 150 DEG C for a maximum time of about 15 minutes until the peat has the desired moisture content, e.g., about 5-10%. This novel product can absorb some 20 times its own weight of oil which makes it very advantageous for cleaning up oil spills either on land or on water. Also, the oil contained in the absorbent after it has been used to clean the oil spills may be easily removed.

Abstract: A lateral acceleration control method for a missile permits short response times to commands even of great amplitude. It comprises the association of an aerodynamic control system having large lateral acceleration capability, called PAF, with a force control system close to the center of gravity, having a moderate lateral acceleration capability, but with very short response time, called PIF. The overall response to a command includes the usual response of the aerodynamic automatic pilot to which there is added the response from the force control system, such that in the presence of a constant order, after a delay equal to the response time of the PAF, the PIF is entirely available for a new action.

Abstract: An adhesive web is to be pressed on to the edge of a shaped sheet metal part, so that the web portion on the metal part has a U-shaped cross-section. To this end, the adhesive web is first peeled off a carrier tape and is then folded with the aid of a deflecting and pre-folding roller having a profile whose cross-section is a wide V. The pre-folded web is then folded further continuously in a funnel-shaped pre-folding channel. The sheet metal part whose edge is to be covered is then introduced with that edge, within the reach of the pre-folding channel, into the folded bend of the adhesive web, and both the sheet metal part and the web thereon are conveyed together by a pair of feed and press-on rollers which press the adhesive web on the edge and sides of the sheet metal part.

Abstract: A unitary disposable conduit extends from the intravenous reservoir along a gravity-flow path to the patient, and incorporates a valve block containing an externally controlled flow-control valve. An electronic controller monitors the drop rate in a drop chamber which is an integral part of the disposable conduit, compares this rate with an operator-selected rate, and controls the valve by varying the current in a shape-memory actuator element whose movements, caused by the resultant Joule heating, are coupled to the valve to proportionally vary the flow rate in the conduit. The valve block is securely received within a recess in the controller, and is automatically coupled to the controller when inserted within this recess. The shape-memory actuator element may be incorporated within the disposable valve block, or may form a part of the controller, with a simple mechanical coupling to transmit its movements to the valve. The valve may be automatically or manually closed when the valve block is removed from the controller, or if power failure occurs.

Abstract: An automatic liquid transfer system includes a horizontally translatable table and a pipette that is translatable both vertically and horizontally in a direction transverse to the axis of translation of the table. The table accommodates one or more titer trays having a multiplicity of receptacles to be filled, or holding liquid samples to be diluted, transferred, or aspirated, and a rack housing plural rows of disposable tips. Between each cycle in a liquid transfer process, a fresh tip is picked up by the pipette and used to transfer liquid in a sterile manner from a sample or diluent source to a well in the titer tray, or from one well to a different well anywhere on the one tray or to a receptacle in a different tray, where it is mixed with diluent. Thereafter, the tip is discharged back into the rack to maintain sterile conditions during the process and a new tip is installed.
