Abstract: An appts. for high temp. treatment of fine-grained solids (e.g. non-ferrous metal ore concentrates, waste materials or the like), which produce molten prods. at the treatment temp., has a transfer element connecting a melting cyclone to a sepn. chamber, in which the reaction prods. (melt and off-gas) from the cyclone are sepd. from one another. The novelty is that: (a) the melting cyclone (10) is positioned so that the transfer element (15) extends vertically downwards from the cyclone bottom (12) and then slopes in a curved path to the side inlet opening (13) of the sepn. chamber (21); and (b) the sepn. chamber (21) has a cyclone-like form with an axial off-gas discharge opening (14), a melt discharge opening (17) and a sequential or tangential side inlet opening (13) located immediately above the molten bath surface (16). Also claimed is a high temp. treatment process esp. carried out in the above appts.

Spacer elements are placed on a receptor by selectively irradiating a thermal transfer donor sheet comprising a transferable spacer layer. The transferable spacer layer may include particles or fibers to form a composite. The particles may have a spacing dimension either greater than or less than the thickness of the transferable layer. When the spacing dimension of the particle is greater than the thickness of the transferable layer, then the spacing dimension of the particles control the spacing distance.

Abstract: The valve comprises a housing with first and second apertures connected by a channel together with a piston (2) moving forwards and backwards between closed and open positions. The piston in the closed position works in conjunction with a valve seat (1c) and thereby closes the channel. A device is provided for maintenance of a low pressure medium flow, during the closed position of the piston, between an area with high pressure on the one side of the valve seat and an area in which pressure is building up on the other side of the valve seat. A spring component (5) impels the piston into the closed position. The piston has effective surfaces (2c-f) exposed to the high pressure and to the pressure which is building up. These surfaces produce force components, which impel the piston into its opening and closed positions. The piston moves into the opening position when the difference between the high and the building-up pressure is less than a threshold value.

Abstract: An automated means for hydrating and packaging a molded hydrophilic contact lens in one of the mold parts used to mold the lens is provided in which a first robotic assembly removes a plurality of contact lens molds from a production line carrier, each of the lens molds having a contact lens adhered therein. The first robotic assembly transports the molds to a first staging area where the lens molds are sandwiched between a lens mold carrier and a top chamber plate to form a first hydration carrier. The hydration carrier is then transported through a plurality of flushing or extraction stations wherein fresh deionized water is introduced into the hydration chambers at each hydration station to flush leachable substances from the hydration chamber. At each flushing station, fresh deionized water is introduced into the hydration chamber to remove previously extracted impurities and the products of hydrolysis. A final robotic dis-assembly device separates the top chamber plate and lens molds in the mold carrier plate, to provide fully hydrated lenses in a concave lens mold ready for transfer to inspection and packaging stations. Following inspection of the lens, the concave lens mold is dosed with saline and used to form part of the package used to distribute the lens.
