Title: 6 degree of freedom control device for human-machine interface
Inventor: ZHAI SHUMIN
IPC: B25J13/08
Filed: 1996-08-23
Abstract: There is disclosed a control device for the human-machine interface. The control device is a hand-operated, 6 degree-of-freedom controller useful in applications including virtual reality, telerobotics and 3D data manipulation. The control device includes a hand-held manipulator tautly suspended by an adjustable elastic support and held in a null or rest position.          The elastic support allows movement or compliance, both rotational and translational, in all directions away from the rest position thereby avoiding the inherent limitations present in movement of base mounted controllers. The manipulator is moved by the user's fingers or full hand and the control device more fully utilizes the human somatosensory information feedback system. The elastic support is self-centring so that the manipulator is promptly returned to the null or rest position thereby facilitating use in the rate (velocity) control mode. A position and orientation sensing device is included to monitor the location of the manipulator.

Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus, a mould and a stop procedure for horizontal direct chill casting of light metals, especially magnesium and magnesium alloys. The apparatus comprises a tundish (3) for maintaining molten metal and a horizontally disposed mould (10) in communication with said tundish. The mould has a primary cooling (11) of the mould walls where the metal is chilled without being in contact with the water and a secondary direct cooling (12) of the cast metal. The mould has separate circuits for primary and secondary cooling water. An insulating transition ring (21) is arranged at the mould entrance. It is important that the total mould depth is short, preferably between 25 and 45 mm. To obtain a good surface quality and to avoid discolouring of the metal it preferred that the mould has an inlet (22) for supply of protective gas to the transition ring. The inlet opening (24) to the mould should be asymmetrically arranged, nearer the bottom of the mould. It is preferred to use an apparatus wherein the tundish (3) and mould (10) is separated by a heated inlet of insulation material (26) embedded in a steel mantle (28) where the steel is in contact with the molten magnesium. The tundish should have a remote controlled drainage system.

Title: Improvement in automated, laser aligned leveling apparatus
Inventor: HOHMANN HOWARD E JR
IPC: G01C15/00
Filed: 1996-02-16
Abstract: The laser alignment system of apparatus for leveling flowable material, in which two radiant energy beam detectors mounted on opposite ends of an elongated leveling member are responsive to a projected radiant energy beam establishing a leveling plane, is modified for operation when one of the detectors is blocked from receiving the projected radiant energy bean by an obstruction such as a support column, equipment or personnel. Whereas each detector signal is normally used to generate a separate adjustment signal for an adjustment device such as an hydraulic cylinder to raise or lower the associated end of the elongated leveling member, when one detector is blocked from receiving the radiant energy beam the detector elevation signal generated by the other, unblocked, detector is used to generate the adjustment signals for both ends of the elongated leveling member.

Abstract: This is an artificial occlusion kit for implanting and retaining an artificial occlusion device in a body space adjacent to and extending from a body lumen in a mammal. The includes at least one occlusion device and a retaining device for blocking the migration of the occlusion device out of the occlusion site. The retaining device is radially expandable at a retaining site adjacent the body space to be occluded to a diameter that is sufficient to engage the body lumen wall at the retaining site and form a barrier across the entrance zone of the body space to be occluded. The expanded retaining device also forms a lumen for flow through body lumen at the retaining site. At least one semi-penetrable space may also be provided in the retaining device, allowing introduction of occlusion devices into the body space to be occluded, but preventing subsequent migration of the occlusion devices out of the body space. This semi-penetrable space may also be distensible to allow for delivery of occlusion devices therethrough. An introducer wire or a tapered-tip delivery catheter may be used to distend the distensible space and deliver the occlusion devices. The retaining device structure may further include a radiopaque metal wire wound into a primary helix over an inner core member made of a superelastic alloy of nickel and titanium. An implantable medical device assembly is also provided, having the structure described for the retaining device of the novel artificial occlusion kit, and which is attached to an elongate pusher via a sacrificial link that is electrolytically dissolvable. <IMAGE>

Title: Feeder for textile processing equipment
Inventor: BAILEY JAMES STEPHEN
IPC: D01G15/40
Filed: 1995-03-23
Abstract: This invention relates to the creation of a different styled batt from tufts of fiber for delivery to textile machinery. In particular, the batt formed in the style of this invention is particularly suited for delivery to a carding machine (100). Carding machines are able to more fully utilize fiber processing capacity with lower risk of becoming overloaded because the tufts are less able to be pulled out of the batt intact but are held back allowing for the lickerin roll (111) or other feed arrangement to pull fiber out of the batt in a more continuous and uniform manner.
