Title: Automated apparatus for preparing contact lenses for inspection and packaging
Inventor: GUNDERSEN BORGE PETER
IPC: B65B57/14
Filed: 1995-06-08
Abstract: An apparatus is provided for removing and transporting articles, such as contact lens sections from a manufacturing line to inspection and packaging stations. The lenses are deposited in a transparent plastic primary package which carries the lenses through the inspection station and becomes part of the primary package when a cover is sealed thereto. The invention includes various assemblies, including lens transfer assemblies, deionized water filling and removal assemblies, a water degassing assembly, a lens inspection assembly, and a lens package sealing assembly. The lenses are removed from pallets at a post hydration station, transported and spatially redistributed, and deposited in the primary packages disposed on a second set of pallets. The packages on the second set of pallets are filled with degassed deionized water. The contact lenses and packages are then transported to an inspection station. After inspection, the lenses and packages are transported to a water removal assembly, and then to another transfer assembly. This transfer assembly separates those lenses which passed inspection from those which did not, and places those that did in a consolidating assembly. The lenses and packages are then filled with saline solution and a foil label is then sealed thereto to form the primary package.

Title: Apparatus for controlling a load connected to an engine
Inventor: PEARMAN KEVIN PATRICK
IPC: H02J7/14
Filed: 1993-12-16
Abstract: Apparatus for controlling a load connected to an internal combustion engine during operation is disclosed and claimed. The apparatus comprises a suction switch (12) which is sensitive to a decrease in vacuum in the manifold (16) of the vehicle when more motive power is required. The switch (16) causes a controller (30), at terminal (44) thereof, to provide a voltage higher than a predetermined set voltage at the D+ terminal of a conventional regulator (46), thereby to interrupt current flow in the excitation circuit of a conventional alternator (48). The alternator is consequently switched off to reduce the load connected to the engine, thereby to make more engine power available to the drive wheels of the vehicle. The apparatus thus also serves as a fuel saving device.

Filed: 1995-08-30
Abstract: A conveying device for feeding sheet-like products to a processing machine for printed products having carrying elements that rotate in the direction of rotation (U) along a self-contained rotational path.      A carrying arm and a link member are pivoted on each carrying element. The clamping jaws, which form a clamp and are prestressed in the closed direction, and are pivotally mounted on the carrying arm. The first clamping jaw being connected to the link member in order to pivot the clamp. The second clamping jaw is connected to an opening roller with which an opening guide interacts to open the clamp. The pivot position of the carrying arms and the position of the link member can be controlled independently of one another by the control device, with the result that the clamp may also be pivoted about its pivot on the carrying arm independently of a movement of the carrying arm. The conveying device is suitable for depositing folded printed sheets in a straddling manner on the rest of the processing machine.

Title: System and method for surface rendering of internal structures within the interior of a solid object
Inventor: KARRON DANIEL
IPC: G06T17/20
Filed: 1994-04-13
Abstract: A system and method for surface rendering and for the display and analysis of arbitrary structures within the interior of a solid body is presented. The method uses as a starting point a voxel element (200) which is known to be crossed by a surface of interest (220). The surface is rendered in a topologically consistent way by connecting encountered surface hits (230) at each voxel face. A pair of voxel face hits, surrounding a vertex value excceeding the surface value are used to form a triangle, spun around a third articulating point in the interior of the voxel (240). Voxel faces sharing the surface hits are sequentially examined, and a set of approximation triangles is formed, to build a triangularization grid (250). The rendered surfaces are interactively displayed (280) and analyzed for global structure properties.

Abstract: A method is provided for installing a refractory lining in a metallurgical vessel having a main opening which is much smaller than the diameter of the vessel.  The method is especially useful in a vessel having a circular or otherwise curved cross-section.  A form or mold is assembled inside the vessel, leaving a space between the form and the outer shell of the vessel. The form is supported on both sides, to maintain the distance between the form and the outer shell, and to prevent collapse or implosion of the form.  Then, a pumpable casting composition having a smooth and easy flow is injected between the form and the shell, and allowed to harden.  The use of the pumpable composition significantly shortens the time required to form the liner.
