Inventor: MINGHETTI MORENO
IPC: B29C48/09
Filed: 1995-06-23
Abstract: The channel (1, 103) that feeds the plastic material into the part of the coextrusion head involved in, for example, forming the final layer of the parison, between the plug (2) and the die (102) of this part, divides into two or more suitably radiused descending channels (5, 7, 9 and 6, 8, 10) that continue in the form of identical fan-shaped channels (11, 12) which diverge in the downward direction and are of decreasing depth and open out to communicate with each other at the site of greatest diameter of the terminal conical mouth (14) that converges in the downward direction, from which emerges the outer layer of the multi-layer coextruded parison. The passive resistances are thereby minimized and the length of time required to change the colour of the extruded plastic is made much less than is required in the prior art.

Abstract: An electronic circuit extracts a ratio of currents from two sources and provides an output that is a function of the current ratio. An embodiment of the circuit includes a source current that may be provided by a blue-green photodetector and a sinking current that may be provided by a red photodetector. The source current feeds the input of a current splitter formed by a pair of PFETs. A portion of the source current is fed from the current splitter to a current ratio extractor implemented in CMOS. The remaining portion of the current from the current splitter is fed to a node shared with the sinking current and a second input to the current ratio extractor. The current ratio extractor produces an output voltage that is a function of the ratio of the photodiode currents and is substantially independent of the total current. The output voltage provides color information that may be used in low-cost machine vision systems for tasks such as sorting objects based on color or detecting object boundaries while rejecting shadows and reflective glints.

Abstract: An optical fiber is rolled by a swing motion of a swing guide roller (220) in order to impart a predetermined twist to it effectively, and its polarization dispersion is suppressed equivalently as in a perfectly circular concentric optical fiber. A method of manufacturing such an optical fiber is also provided. As a swing guide roller (220) swings, the optical fiber is rolled on its roller surface, so that a clockwise twist and a counterclockwise twist are imparted to the optical fiber alternately. At this time, the optical fiber is fitted in a V-shaped narrow groove formed at the central portion of the roller surface of a next-stage first stationary guide roller (231) provided just beside the swing guide roller (220). Rolling of the optical fiber on the roller surface of the first stationary guide roller (231) is suppressed, thereby helping smooth rolling of the optical fiber on the roller surface of the swing guide roller (220). As a result, a twist can be imparted to the optical fiber highly efficiently in accordance with the swing speed of the swing guide roller (220).

Abstract: An improved stereolithography system for generating a three-dimensional object by creating a cross-sectional pattern of the object to be formed at a selected surface of a fluid medium capable of altering its physical state in response to appropriate synergistic stimulation by impinging radiation, particle bombardment or chemical reaction, information defining the object being structurally specified to reduce curl, stress and distortion in the ultimately formed object, the successive adjacent laminae, representing corresponding successive adjacent cross-sections of the object, being automatically formed and integrated together to provide a step-wise laminar buildup of the desired object, whereby a three-dimensional object is formed and drawn from a substantially planar surface of the fluid medium during the forming process. A stereolithographic distortion known as curl is defined, and several techniques to eliminate or reduce curl are described, including dashed line, bent line, secondary structure, rivets, and multi-pass techniques. In addition, a quantitative measurement of curl known as the curl factor, and a test part known as a quarter cylinder are described, which together can be used to measure the effectiveness of the above techniques in reducing curl.

Abstract: The instrumentation set of this invention assists the surgeon in selecting the proper implant components, in determining the amount of distal bone to resect, and in aligning instrumentation designed to resect the bone. The instrumentation set provides numerous systems for verifying to the surgeon that he has correctly aligned the instruments prior to removing any bone. 
     The set includes a rotational alignment guide, which aids the surgeon in establishing the appropriate rotational alignment for the knee as determined by reference to standard femoral landmarks such as the posterior condyles and epicondyles. The rotational alignment guide includes a slot for guiding a saw blade for removal of the posterior condyles of the femur. 
     The set further includes a tensor designed to tense the knee joint in flexion and extension. The tensor is activated by a torque wrench so that a measured amount of tension force can be applied to the joint. The tensor is configured to slidably carry sizing rods, which contact the femur and include a plurality of markings, which relate to the size of the femur as well as the spacing between the femur and tibia. This information is used by the surgeon to select the proper size of femoral and tibial articulate surface components. The sizing rods are connected to the tensor when the tibial is in flexion and in extension, which will indicate to the surgeon any variation required in the amount of bone to be resected.
