Abstract: Apparatus as shown in Fig. 1 incorporates a movable
dispensing head (2) provided with a supply of material
which solidifies at a predetermined temperature, and a base
member (10), which are moved relative to each other along
"X", "Y," and "Z" axes in a predetermined pattern to
create three-dimensional objects by building up material
discharged from the dispensing head (2) onto the base
member (10) at a controlled rate. The apparatus is
preferably computer driven in a process utilizing
computer aided design (CAD) and computer-aided (CAM)
software to generate drive signals for controlled
movement of the dispensing head (2) and base member (10)
as material is being dispensed. 
     Three-dimensional objects (40a) may be produced by
depositing repeated layers of solidifying material until
the shape is formed. Any material, such as self-hardening
waxes, thermoplastic resins, molten metals, two-part
epoxies, foaming plastics, and glass, which adheres to the
previous layer with an adequate bond upon solidification,
may be utilized. Each layer base is defined by the
previous layer, and each layer thickness is defined and
closely controlled by the height at which the tip (4) of
the dispensing head (2) is positioned above the preceding
layer.

Abstract: A forms based browser interface system for configuring
and administering a network server from a remote location. Using
forms, such as hyper-text markup language forms, the system
provides a graphical user interface that allows a novice user,
unaware of the platform, architecture or even operating system of
the network server, to transact administrative tasks on the
network server. An interfacing computer, at which the novice user
performs administrative tasks upon the network server, is
connected to the network server via network connections. The
interfacing computer is equipped with a browser program that can
display and interact with the forms created by the network server.
The forms allow the user to select among various administrative
tasks to be performed on the server. The forms also allow the
user to input parameters for administration of the server such as
new account names when adding new accounts for the server. Once
the form input is submitted over the network connections to the
network server, scripts within the server pass this information as
parameters to appropriate software that complete the execution of
the task and may signal to the user at the interfacing computer,
through messages on the forms, success or failure thereof.

are separated in the intermediate pressure rectification column 24. The reboiler
22 is heated by a stream typically withdrawn from the side rectification column
52 through an outlet 81. A stream of liquid is withdrawn through an outlet at
the bottom of the intermediate pressure rectification column 24, is used to cool
the condenser 30 and 50, and is separated in the lower pressure rectification
column. The mole fraction of oxygen in the stream withdrawn through the

Abstract: A flashless catheter beveling process in
which a beveling catheter mold has an internal cavity
which defines the external beveled shape of the
catheter and also has a circular hole centrally
located therein. In the beveling mold, one end of a
distal endmost interior bevel terminates at the
surface of the beveling mold, with the distal endmost
bevel and the surface forming an angle at the edge of
the circular hole. A cylindrical support pin is
inserted into a hollow extruded unbeveled catheter
tube. The beveling mold is heated and positioned
relative to and around the extruded catheter tube with
the cylindrical support pin positioned in the circular
hole of the mold. This arrangement melts the extruded
catheter tube to allow it to flow within and assume
the shape defined by the internal cavity of the
beveling mold, and the molten catheter material
flashes through a narrow annular gap defined between
the cylindrical support pin and the circular hole.
The cylindrical support pin is then withdrawn from the
circular hole in the beveling mold, and one end of a
cone pin is positioned in contact with the circular
hole. The cone pin contacts the circular edge formed
by the surface of the mold and the distal endmost
bevel, and pinches off the flash which has been
extruded through the annular gap. The molded catheter
is then removed from the catheter mold, and the
cylindrical support pin is withdrawn from the finished
and molded catheter.

Abstract: A self-forming socket having a plurality of retractable pins (16) bundled in parallel within a housing (20). The bundled pins may displace longitudinally and are biased by spring force away from a frame (20) on which the pins are slidably held. A spacer pin (30) may be positioned at the centre of the socket and is similarly biased away from the frame under spring force. When the socket is forced over a fastener, nut, or bolt head, groups of pins are pushed inwards towards the frame and into the housing thereby conforming the pins to the contours of the fastener. Each pin has a circular cross-section and the interior walls of the housing containing the bundled pins has a hexagonal shape and does not contain any right angles.

Abstract: A printing tape cassette (50) contains a printing
medium tape (53) wound around a reel (52) and held so that
its coloring layers (62, 63) face outward. The coloring
layers (62, 63) are colored in different colors at different
temperatures and fixed by fixing rays of different
wavelengths. The cassette (50) takes the form of a
substantially square box made of a ray shielding material.
The cassette (50) is set on a printer (30) and has a slit-like
port (56) through which the printing tape (53) is fed out,
and a window (54) which shields the fixing rays and through
which window the printing tape (53) accommodated in the
cassette is confirmable visually. The printer (30)
comprises a reel drive shaft (36), a platen roller (39), a
guide plate (40), a tape sensor (42), a thermal head (45),
a ray shielding shutter (43), a fixing ray irradiator (44),
and a cutter (41). When the thermal head (45) presses
against the platen roller (39), the ray shielding shutter
(43) also presses against the guide plate (40) to accurately
shield from irradiation of rays by the fixing ray irradiator
(44) the upstream side of the conveyance path of the printing
medium tape (53) from the ray shielding shutter. The
thermal head (45) prints a yellow image on the printing
medium tape, a yellow fixing lamp (44a) of the fixing ray
irradiator (44) is lighted up to fix the printed image, and
a trailing end margin of the printed tape portion is conveyed
to the ray shielding shutter (43). At this time, the fixing
ray irradiator (44) is put off, the thermal head (45) is
moved away from the platen roller (39), and the ray shielding
shutter (43) is moved away from the guide plate (40). The
reel drive shaft (36) then rewinds the medium tape (53) to
its initial position, the magenta printing and fixing are
similarly performed on the tape, and the tape is then wound,
as in the manner mentioned above. After cyan printing is
performed, the printed tape portion of the tape (53) with
a trailing margin is cut away by the cutter (41).
