Inventor: KLEMMER ROBERT ANTHONY
IPC: B25J11/00
Filed: 1989-01-05
Abstract: Electrical components (14) are fed to a vision controlled robotic placement apparatus (16). The com­ponents are carried in a reeled, pocketed carrier tape (42) indexed along a dereeling component feeder (36) to a pick up station (12). Forward advance of the carrier is stopped when an optical sensor (154) in the feeder senses that a depending pocket (44) in the carrier tape is generally positioned at the pick up station (12). The vision control system on the robot is relied upon to locate the pocket (44) at the pick up station (12) and to locate the individual components (14) presented in the pocket. The components (14) are robotically unloaded from the carrier (42) one at a time and placed on a printed circuit board assembly at a second station (22) with the guidance of the vision control system. As the last component (14) from each pocket is picked up for placement, the vision control system (16) signals the carrier tape drive moter (50) to index the next pocket (44) to the pick up station (12).

Abstract: @ A macerator for reducing soiled paper pulp products such as bedpans and the like has a housing (18) which is closeable by means of a lid (16) which is provided with an internal spray (72). At the base of the housing (18) is a rotatably mounted agitating blade (48) having two cutting edges inclined in different directions to the rotational axis of the cutting blade. The agitating blade is located and/or orientated asymmetrically within the housing. In particular, the axis of rotation of the agitating blade (48) may be inclined to the longitudinal axis of the housing, and the axis of rotation may or may not intersect the longitudinal axis of the housing. 
     Alternatively, or in addition, the agitating blade (48) may be displaced or offset from the longitudinal axis of the housing (18). This results in a high hydraulic shear between the agitating blade and the internal wall of the housing on liquid within the housing. The effect is pronounced when the blade is closly spaced from the wall of the housing. 
     A valve which is particularly useful with the macerator has a valve closure member (52) is in the form of a relatively rigid sealing portion (56) connected to a flexible diaphragm portion (54). A pressure chamber is formed behind the sealing member and the diaphragm portion, and the sealing portion may be urged into engagement with a valve seat by application of fluid pressure behind the diaphragm and the sealing member.

Abstract: A pressure integrated apparatus and process for the measured injection of sample into a capillary for electrophoresis is disclosed. Preferably the cap­illary is mounted in a serpentine path to a cartridge body having a bottom. The capillary, previously filled with electrolyte depends a distance below the bottom of the cartridge and has its periphery sealed to the car­tridge. Typically, the cartridge is registered at the depending capillary to a vial of sample. The vial of sample is moved into substantial gas tight relation with the cartridge so that the depending capillary is below the surface of liquid within the sample vial. The vial is then communicated to a source of substan­tially constant fluid pressure in the order of 1 lb./inch². At the same time, a pressure gauge monitors the pressure of the vial and outputs a signal to integration apparatus such as a microprocessor. By time integration of the area under a pressure curve, precise monitoring of the amount of fluid introduced into a capillary occurs. Assuming a total capillary capacity of several micro­liters, injections of sample in the order of 5 nano­liters with an accuracy of plus or minus 2% is possible. 
     In one embodiment, a reusable vial cap is provided with four resiliently deflectable flaps sur­rounded by an integral O-ring sealing region. The cap can cooperate with downwardly dependent fingers on a lever arm to make an opening for insertion of a capillary and electrode.

Abstract: The invention is used in a data communication network where files are identified by multi-token names and per­mits file services (fetching, replacing, deleting) to be performed in the network even where a user does not speci­fy a network-unique or global name in the file service request and where the user is not present at the time the request is actually processed. Each global name cata­logued in the network has a set of attributes, which are stored with the name. The attributes (MUST MATCH, NEED NOT MATCH, ORDERED, UNORDERED) define the structure of the global name and are assigned to token positions. When entering a file service request, the user enters at least part of the global name along with a set of indicators (FIND, IGNORE, SELECT HIGH, SELECT LOW) which specify operations to be performed with respect to certain token positions when comparing the file name in the service request with catalogued global names. The SELECT indica­tors are used to choose a single data object if the multi­ple data objects remain after the FIND and IGNORE indica­tors have been processed.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved printer head (2) for using a detachable cassette (A), particularly the printer head stationary mounted on a print station for using a detachably loadable cassette on the station, the cassette integrally having an webbed label together with a platen roller (5) therein. In prior art, however, a conventional printer head is disadvantageous that an webbed label is often broken during the replacement of the cassette due to the absence of suitable locking mechanism to refuge the printer head from a platen roller so as to facilitate and ensure the safe replacement of webbed label when the cassette is replaced. In order to solve such disadvantages, the present invention provides an improved printer head (2) capable of constantly being held at a position apart from a platen roller (5) to refuge in the upper portion as far as no cassette (A) is loaded on the print station. The locking mechanism is released by manually operating a lever (23'), however, even if the manual lever (23') is operated contrary toward wrong direction due to the user's mis-operation, however, the printer head (2) of the present invention will return to a correct direction automatically in response to the absence of the platen roller (5) under the printer head.
