Title: Method and apparatus for sorting fluorescent lamps
Inventor: HERBORN PAUL
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 2001-04-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for sorting fluorescent lamps in terms of phosphor blends. The lamps have a cylindrical lamp body (1) with a right-hand and left-hand end and with a symbol imprint.      The fluorescent lamps are conveyed into an inspection station (10) which has stop means (11, 12) for defining an inspection plane (13) against which the lamp body (1) respectively to be examined bears. A camera (21) is directed onto the symbol imprint of the lamp body (1) respectively to be examined. A rotating device (15, 16) in the inspection station (10) is started up in order to rotate the lamp body (1) respectively to be examined. The camera (21) outputs pixel signals to an image processing system (30), which obtains image data from the pixel signals. The image processing system (30) contains image memories with data for recorded symbols, and an image-comparing device which correlates the image data with the recorded symbol data. The respectively examined fluorescent lamp is conveyed out of the inspection station (10) and directed into one of a plurality of sorting paths via a switching system (25).

Abstract: In a gas and steam turbine plant (1), with a waste-heat steam generator (30) which is located downstream of a gas turbine (2) on the flue-gas side and the heating surfaces of which are connected into the water/steam circuit (24) of a steam turbine (20), for the integrated gasification of a fossil fuel (B) a gasification device (132) is located upstream of the combustion chamber (6) of the gas turbine (2) via a fuel line (130) . A gas and steam turbine plant (1) of this type is to be capable of being operated with particularly high plant efficiency even when oil is used as fossil fuel (B). For this purpose, according to the invention, a heat exchanger (150) is connected on the primary side into the fuel line (130), as seen in the direction of flow of the gasified fuel (B), upstream of a mixing apparatus (146) for admixing nitrogen (N2) to the gasified fuel (B), said heat exchanger being designed on the secondary side as an evaporator for a flow medium.
Patent CA-2347065-A1 (CA)
Title: Photographic liquids effluent discharge
Inventor: BRUNELLE DENIS
IPC: G03D3/02
Filed: 2001-05-10
Abstract: Spent photographic effluent containing iron ions flows in a carrier liquid through at least one venturi passage to a drain; iron ions in the effluent precipitate as iron oxides. A flushing flow of flushing liquid flushes iron oxide deposits from surfaces of the venturi passage exposed to the effluent during interruptions of effluent flow through the venturi passage. The flushing flow may also be employed to flush deposits of iron oxides from exposed surfaces adjacent conduits through which the effluent flows. In this way, clogging or blockage of passages, especially the narrow venturi passage is avoided, so that effluent disposed can proceed on a continuous basis, avoiding flooding, and shut down for cleaning.

Title: Disposable microkeratome blade housing
Inventor: CARRIAZO CESAR C
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2000-03-24
Abstract: An apparatus which attaches to microkeratome surgical devices. The disposable microkeratome blade housing apparatus (7) securely attaches to the surgical devices but remains independent of the motor (3), gearing and cutting head (5) components. In a first embodiment, the blade housing (4) includes a knife edged blade (11), a blade holder (9), plaque and flexible coupling structure. The snap tight coupling structure provides a self-positioning, secure attachment of the housing to existing compatible and accommodating microkeratomes. In a second embodiment, the blade housing (57) and cutting head are integral and include a knife edged blade (61), a blade holder (59), and a plaque. The blade housing/cutting head combination of the second embodiment is entirely disposable and fixedly secured to said motor. In both embodiments, the blade holder is acted upon by the motor and gearing to oscillate the blade holder in the housing. As the microkeratome advances over the eye, the plaque portion of the housing partially compresses the corneal just ahead of the blade. The partial compression produced by the plaque along with the blade define the shape and depth of the cornea resection. The disposable blade housing is fabricated from materials selected from a group consisting of polymers, composites and ceramics.

The processor is adapted to receive well characteristic signals from the sensors, determine, from the signals and the reference pattern in memory, the position of the tool along the well, and automatically initiate a downhole function at a preprogrammed position along the well while the tool is moved at a substantially constant rate along the well. The tool may be configured in a string of tools for performing multiple downhole functions. In some embodiments the reference pattern is the known spacing of discrete downhole features, such as casing collars. In some other embodiments the reference pattern is a log of a geophysical parameter, such as a natural gamma log. Methods of use are also disclosed.
