Abstract: An automated demolding apparatus for reliably and repeatedly mechanically separating contact lens mold portions of a mold assembly without damaging the contact lens formed therebetween. The mold assembly includes a first front mold portion having a central mold section with a surrounding flange, and a corresponding second back mold portion also having a central mold section with a surrounding flange. A molded contact lens is formed between the front and back mold portions, and the flanges of the front and back mold portions are spaced apart and parallel to each other. The demolding apparatus includes restraining fingers positioned between and on opposite sides of the spaced flanges of the first and second mold portions and against the flange of the first mold portion. A separating fixture includes separating fingers positioned between and on opposite sides of the spaced flanges of the first and second mold portions and against the flange of the second mold portion. Before demolding, the second mold portion is irradiated by a laser beam, which is absorbed thereby to cause a substantial temperature gradient between the second mold portion and the contact lens being demolded. The temperature gradient causes a differential expansion and shifting of the surface of the heated second mold portion relative to the surface of the lens to lessen the adhesion therebetween to assist in separation of the mold portions, while leaving the lens in the first mold portion. During demolding, the separating fixture is rotated relative to the restraining fingers to progressively separate and peel the second mold portion from the first mold portion.

Abstract: A bacteria which stimulates root production, or an extract in which the bacteria had been growing, is contacted to a portion of a plant other than a root. The root stimulating bacteria (RSB) or the extract induces the formation of roots in the plant. The RSB is well suited for inducing rooting in difficult to root species such as conifers of the Pinus genus. The RSB, the extract, the medium in which the RSB grows, the method for use of the RSB or the extract to induce rooting, and the plants treated with the RSB or the extract comprise the current invention.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided in which direct ohmic connection is made to a comminution device (e.g., a wood chip or pulp refiner) to obtain transient voltages, existing on the refining elements, that are directly related to fiber impacts. These voltages are characterized by severity (S) (i.e., magnitude), rate (N), rise time (RT) and polarity (+/-P). The characteristics of these voltages taken separately and/or in mathematical combinations predict the properties of refined wood chips and pulps, i.e., freeness, tensile strength, tear, burst, breaking length and fiber length. Signal characteristics further track refiner plate wear and detect the occurrence of "critical gap" as well as the onset of plate clash.

Abstract: A C-arm apparatus. An X-ray imaging system is coupled to a C-arm, including an X-ray source and an image receptor mounted upon opposing locations, respectively on the C-arm. The C-arm is mass balanced about its axis of orbital rotation and is pivotally coupled to an articulating arm assembly supported upon a wheeled support base. The mass balance enables repositioning of the X-ray imaging system between an anterior-posterior view and an orthogonal lateral view with a single, orbital movement of the C-arm which also causes the views to define an imaging isocenter. The C-arm is preferably miniaturized to an approximate diameter of twenty-eight inches with a source-to-image distance of approximately fourteen inches. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Difluoromethane, i.e. refrigerant F32, continuously contacts molecular sieve type 3A, 4A or 5A at 5-78 degrees C, preferably at ambient temperature, under a pressure 0.6-25 atm., preferably 0.8-17 atm.. Preferred Features: Moist F32 is gaseous, at pressure 0.6-10 atm., preferably 0.8-5 atm.. The water content is less than 10,000 ppm, preferably less than 6,000 ppm. A column downstream of the F32 manufacturing plant is used for drying; it contains type 3A molecular sieve. Regeneration is by heating the molecular sieve to 120 degrees C-300 degrees C, preferably 150 degrees C-250 degrees C at absolute pressure less than 100 mm Hg, preferably less than 80 mm Hg. An inert gas is passed through, close to atmospheric pressure. A two-stage process operates. In the first stage, temperature is sufficiently high to eliminate a substantial proportion of the F32 from the molecular sieve. In the second stage, the temperature is raised, removing a substantial proportion of the water adsorbed. Temperature ranges are detailed for two variants of this operation, which follow the foregoing principles. Regeneration takes place in the adsorption column. Two columns in parallel, alternate between adsorption and regeneration.
