Patent AU-691546-B2 (AU)
Title: Method and apparatus for forming concrete products
Inventor: AASETH ALAN
IPC: B28B13/00
Filed: 1994-11-16
Granted: 1998-05-21
Abstract: A mold box is flexibly mounted to a product forming machine having upper and lower vertically displaceable beams. A feed drawer dispenses concrete material into the mold box while a vibration system vertically vibrates the mold box while dampening horizontal vibration. The vibration system is driven by a single drive shaft that actuates first and second vibrator rods while at the same rotating a counter-weight in a counter-rotating direction. A set of alignment brackets lock the mold box into a predetermined aligned relationship while being mounted in the product forming machine. The bottom side of each mold box is mounted to the product forming machine in the same relative position to reduce machine readjustments. A set of telescoping legs hold the feed drawer assembly variable distances above the mold box. A unitized pallet feeder quickly moves pallets one at a time from an on-deck position to a receiving position underneath the mold box.

Title: System for varying light intensity such as for use in motion picture photography
Inventor: MURDOCK NOLAN J
IPC: F21V9/40
Filed: 1995-03-23
Granted: 1997-11-20
Abstract: A lighting system and method with variable light intensity for use in motion picture photography. In the lighting apparatus, light emitted from a source (18) is passed through an aperture (36a) and then through a section of a movable, neutral density filter (50). The preferred filter is specially designed to have a variable density, continuously increasing from one side of the filter to the other. By changing the position of the filter, selectively placing higher or lower density sections in the light path, the intensity of the light emitted by the lighting apparatus may be varied. The neutral density filter is selected to be generally color neutral so that the color quality of the light passing therethrough remains unchanged. To ensure complete light blockage, a douser (80) of opaque material is provided which is selectively interposed in the outgoing light path. <IMAGE>
