Abstract: A roasting apparatus for coffee beans comprises a housing and a horizontal drum on the housing rotatable about an axis with an opening on a first end thereof for receiving and discharging beans and a plurality of openings on a second end opposite the first end of size sufficient to pass air and insufficient to pass the beans. The apparatus includes a heater in the housing capable of heating the drum to roast the beans and a fan adapted to move air through the first and second ends of the drum. A pair of doors pivotally mounted on a common hinge between the fan and the drum are movable between a closed position during roasting substantially blocking passage of free flow of air through the drum and an open position permitting free flow of the air once the beans are sufficiently roasted. A chaff collector is secured to the housing at an end opposite the drum first end. The collector has a plurality of openings of size sufficient to pass air and insufficient to pass chaff from the beans. When the beans are sufficiently roasted, the fan moves air through-the opening in the first end of the drum and the open doors and cause chaff to be removed from the roasted beans or other food and carried with the air through the openings in the second end of the drum. The chaff is then collected within the chaff collector as the air passes through the openings therein.

Abstract: A surgical scanning system includes a scanner supported on a carrier movable relative to an operating room table. The carrier engages a guide that is collinear with the long axis of an operating room table. The relative movement between an operating room table and a scanner along a guide decreases the likelihood of collision therebetween. The ability to collect a scan of a patient while on an operating room table increases the likelihood of a successful surgical outcome.

Abstract: The invention provides a means of closed exchange of implanted medical device components. An exchanger is brought into contact with the implanted medical device in situ. The component is withdrawn from the implanted device and brought into a closed chamber of the exchanger. Without breaking the contact between implanted device and exchanger, the replacement component is then moved from its position in the exchanger, and inserted into the correct position in the implanted device. The surfaces of the implanted device are not brought into contact with the outside environment, thereby minimizing the possibility of introducing contaminants into the body during the exchange process. The invention is particularly useful for devices that are difficult to position and re-position, thus making it advantageous to exchange only an expended component, rather than the entire device.

Abstract: The method for rapid cutting of a workpiece made of brittle material along a predetermined cutting line of any desired shape includes generating laser beams, preferably with a CO or CO2 laser; focusing the laser beams onto the cutting line to form focused laser beams on the cutting line; guiding the focused laser beams one behind the other along the cutting line without melting the brittle material; shaping the respective laser beams so that the respective beam cross-sections forming corresponding focal spots on a surface of the workpiece have predetermined shapes and intensity distributions; moving the workpiece and the laser beams relative to each other along the cutting line so that the focused laser beams induce a thermo-mechanical stress in the brittle material and blowing a fluid cooling medium, such as cold air or an air/water mixture, onto a heated cutting line section of the workpiece for subsequent cooling so as to increase the thermo-mechanical stress in the brittle material above its breaking strength.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a fixture (10) is provided to receive a label (L) to be applied to a CD disc (13,15). The fixture includes a base (12) having a well (14) of a dimension approximately the shape of the label and CD disc. The label, after printing indicia thereon, is placed adhesive side up in the well of the fixture. Since the well also approximates the shape of the CD disc, the disc may be placed in the well first, within the bounds of the well of the fixture, with its unwritten side facing up. The disc or label is then overlaid on the other manually in the well, and pressed in place, to adhere the label to the disc. A pair of oppositely disposed cutouts are provided in the fixture to enable the composite card and adhered label to be removed from the fixture by inserting the fingers beneath the laminate and lifting it up from the fixture. The sidewalls (16, 18) of the well are rotatable and opposed edges are straight and arcuate so as to present when oriented to the interior of the well, circular or truncated shape to the interior of the well to accommodate different shaped discs.

Abstract: The invention relates to a shaft building comprising a monolithically-shaped shaft lower part, whereupon one or more shaft pipes and/or shaft rings and a cone can be placed depending on the embodiment involved. Channels for different media lines designed for liquid and gas-phase media, for energy or for information are preferably located on the outer wall or in the wall of the shaft ring or shaft pipe or in the shaft lower part. One shaft ring or pipe can have one or more channels for media lines. Said channels pertaining to the individual media lines are preferably aligned above each other. The decisive advantage of the innovative shaft building is that different media are integrated into lines in a single shaft building. Costs associated with inspection and maintenance are significantly reduced. When new lines are constructed or lines are serviced, costs associated with the construction of other shaft buildings are saved.
