Abstract: A continuous succession of vessels (10), liquid-filled and open-topped, passes through the testing station, where each is covered. The inner side of this transparent cover (18) is wetted by the liquid. A handling device runs with each vessel. At one location on the path, this places the contact lens in the vessel. At another it, removes it. Preferred features: The cylindrical vessel has a transparent base. It is top-lit (32), with an imaging sensor (34) observing the base. All parts are suitably dimensioned to permit the imaging lens (36) to focus in the base zone (38). A bubble remover based on ultrasound precedes the test station. A chain of vessels succeed, traveling around a pair of horizontal turntables. Handlers load and unload the turntables. They also place and remove vessel covers and lenses with grips. A fluid replacement station is provided. Between turntables, lenses are supplied and removed. Cams along the chain of continuously-driven vessels control the handlers. Numbers of test modules may be connected individually to computers, connected in turn to a common server.

IPC: B01J23/58

Abstract: Although olefins commonly are used to alkylate alkanes using various solid acid catalysts, the
process is severely hampered by short catalyst lifetimes attending substantial olefin oligomerization.
This problem is avoided by using an alkyl halide as the alkylating agent. Thus, alkylation of isobutane
by olefin in the presence of a modified, AlCl 3 -type Friedel-Crafts catalyst at 30°C falls to about 77% in
four hours, whereas alkylation with sec-butyl chloride at the same conditions fell to 88% over 30
hours.

Abstract: A telecommunication network (50) establishes a telephone
call from a first location (12) that generates compressed
voice packets to a second location (14). The
telecommunication network includes a plurality of
switches, a first interworking function ("IWF") coupled
to the first location and coupled to a first switch of
the plurality of switches, a second IWF coupled to the
second location and coupled to a second switch of the
plurality of switches, and a network database coupled to
said first switch. When a telephone call is initiated
from the first location, the first switch receives
signaling information from the first location. The
first switch then queries the network database based on
the signaling information and determines whether the
second location uses compressed voice packets based on
the query. Finally, the first switch establishes a
connection between the first IWF and the second IWF if
it is determined that the second location uses
compressed voice packets. The connection bypasses the
plurality of switches, and therefore reduces tandeming
in the network.

Abstract: The procedure is for cutting up round cheeses into portions for packaging. It involves first cutting each cheese diametrically into two halves (2), rotating them so they face in the same direction, and then transferring each half to a portion cutter (9) which rotates the half cheese horizontally in steps so that it is cut into equal portions. The machine used for the procedure consists of a conveyor (1) which takes the cheeses from a storage point to a cutting zone where they are first cut in half across the direction of the travel of the conveyor. The halves are then rotated through 90 degrees so that their cut sides face the same way on the conveyor, and then transferred to the portion cutter with fixed (11) and mobile radial (12) blades. Each mobile blade is equipped with an ejector to deliver each cut portion onto an output conveyor to take it to a weighing and packaging unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dynamic focusing circuit with an output (1) for supplying a dynamic focusing voltage (Vf) to a focus electrode of a cathode ray tube (CRT). The dynamic focusing voltage (Vf) has, in succession, a falling edge, an almost flat part and a rising edge. A first transistor (T1) has a main current path (c1, e1) coupled between a supply voltage (V+) and the output (1). An arrangement of a secondary winding (Ls) of a transformer (T) and a current determining circuit (12) is coupled between the control input (b1) of the first transistor (T1) and the output (1). The current determining circuit (12) supplies a bias current (Ib). A second transistor (T2) has a control electrode (b2) for receiving an input voltage (Vi) related to a parabolically shaped input waveform (Vin), and a main terminal (c2) coupled to the control input (b1) of the first transistor to withdraw current (Id) from the control input (b1). The secondary winding (Ls) supplies a voltage superposed on the dynamic focusing voltage (Vf). The voltage supplied by the secondary winding (Ls) and the current determining circuit (12) are dimensioned so as to minimize dissipation for driving the first transistor (T1). Further, the floating secondary winding (Ls) causes the first transistor (T1) to be conducting during the flat part of the dynamic focusing voltage (Vf), thereby minimising delay of the rising edge of the dynamic focusing voltage (Vf).
