Title: Apparatus for sterilizing contact lenses.
Inventor: CEROLA JOSEPH J
IPC: G02C13/00
Filed: 1990-06-07
Abstract: Apparatus is provided for use in the sterilization of contact lenses or the like, wherein lenses are disposed within a sterilizing solution (32) contained within a reaction vessel (22), which sterilizing solution (32) is capable of being decomposed through contact with a catalytic agent (62). The apparatus comprises a reaction vessel (22) capable of containing a sterilizing solution (32) and comprising a container portion (22), a cover (30) and structure (40) for supporting an article in contact with sterilizing solution (32) in the container (22). Further structure is provided for mounting a catalytic agent (62) on the supporting means (40) such that the catalytic agent (62) is removable for replacement by a user as the catalytic agent (62) becomes exhausted in use. The mounting of the catalytic agent (62) on the article supporting structure (40) prevents contact of the catalytic agent (62) with the solution (32) in the container (22) until the article supporting structure (40) with the contact lenses (52) therein is placed in the solution (32) in the container (22) for beginning the sterilizing process, to thereby prevent premature breakdown of the sterilizing solution (32) prior to the introduction of contact lenses (52) for sterilization therein.

Abstract: A method of loading those data itemized in a plurality of memories into a predetermined memory for use in a numeric controller (CNC). The data (111 ∼ 114) stored in the first memory are loaded to a predetermined memory. When the second memory storing data (211 ∼ 215) has data (215) for an item (105) which is not in the first memory, only the data (215) is additionally loaded from the second memory to the predetermined memory. In other words, the data (111 ∼ 114) stored in the first memory (non-volatile memory) are loaded preferentially to the predetermined memory, and subsequently the data (215) for the additional item (105) is loaded from the second memory (ROM). Accordingly, all existing data prepared for different machines can be used freely, and an operator can make a new machining program on the basis of standard data.

IPC: G01N29/032
Filed: 1991-04-15
Abstract: An ultrasonic air-in-line detection system for use in detecting entrained air bubbles in the fluid line (306) of a disposable cassette mounted on a main pump unit which can accurately detect air bubbles in any type of fluid, whether clear or opaque. The system uses multiple windowing and air volume number weighting to determine when a threshold count of air in a predetermined number of windows of material pumped occurs, with the alarm being sounded only when this threshold count of air bubbles in present in the window volume. The system of the present invention will thus detect entrained air but avoids so-called nuisance alarms due to the presence of small isolated air bubbles.

Title: Filtering method and apparatus.
Inventor: KALMAN PETER GABOR
IPC: B29C48/691
Filed: 1991-11-18
Abstract: Filtering apparatus includes two or more passages (2) acting in parallel, each having an extended filter (12) which passes through inlet and outlet ports (48, 49), flowable preferably sealed by solidified plugs of the flowable substance such as a polymer being filtered. The flow of such substance to one passage can be terminated so as to permit filter advance under conditions of zero pressure drop, whilst flow through the other passage continues. Filter advance can be assisted by extrusion of a sealing plug in the outlet port under the pressure of such substance from the other passage which is still filtering. In additional or alternative mode, flow into a passage is terminated and a secondary outlet (20, 21) in that passage is opened. This creates a counterflow under the pressure of substance from the other passage, which cleans the filter. The secondary outlet can be sealed by a plug which is extruded during counterflow. An alternative valve for the secondary outlet, which can also be used in a diverter valve for controlling the input of substance to the two passages, has a side passage (26) in which is formed a plug of solidified substance, and piston (27) for pushing the plug into the flow substance.
