Title: Aligning fixture for mold opening and closing mechanism in a glass forming machine
Inventor: VOISINE GARY R
IPC: C03B9/353
Filed: 2000-01-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a mechanism for aligning the mold opening and closing mechanism of a section of an I.S. glass forming machine. The section includes a frame having a top surface 10 and the mold opening and closing mechanism includes an opposed pair of mold holders (45, fig 4). The mold holders have a number of clamping surfaces corresponding to the number of molds for bottles to be made in the section, and are displaceable from a retracted open position to an advanced clamped closed position with the actual axial centerline of the molds as defined by the clamping surfaces at the advanced clamped closed position to be located at the section theoretical centerline. An aligning mechanism is provided, which has a horizontal mounting plate 20 including a number of vertical openings (30, fig 2) corresponding to the number of molds for bottles to be formed in the section, that is supported by a pair of spaced vertical uprights 15, 21 secured to the section frame top surface 10. A plurality of aligning cylinders 31 are located in the vertical openings in the horizontal mounting plate and move parallel with the mold holder motion. Each aligning cylinder includes surfaces 41, 42 configured to mate with the corresponding clamping surfaces ( 43, 44 fig 4) of the old holders. The axis of a selected one of the aligning cylinders is resiliently held but not clamped at the theoretical centerline, so that it can move to the actual centerline by the mold holders when the mold holders are located at the advanced clamped closed position and clamp the selected aligning cylinder. The molds are displaced in accordance with a displacement program (54, fig 4). A position transducer (33, fig 4) is mounted so that the actuation direction is parallel with the mold holder motion to sense movement of the axis of the selected aligning cylinder 31. A computer (58, fig 4) receiving positional data from the transducer compares the theoretical centerline with the actual centerline determined from the data, and defines a displacement offset for the displacement program to align the mold holders to the theoretical centreline.

Title: Extensible absorbent article including a tearable layer
Inventor: BLENKE TIMOTHY JAMES
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: An absorbent article includes an absorbent pad and an outer cover. The absorbent pad includes an absorbent core enveloped by a first layer and a second barrier layer. The first layer and the second barrier layer are secured to each other outwardly of a perimeter of the absorbent core. A deformable third layer is disposed in the absorbent article between the first layer and the outer cover. The deformable layer is adhesively secured to the inner surface of the outer cover. There is no significant securement between the deformable layer and the first layer. In embodiments where the outer cover is extensible in a cross-direction and/or a longitudinal direction, the deformable layer deforms during extension of the outer cover, but such deforming has no significant harmful effect on the first layer. Therefore, damage to the first layer, the second barrier layer, or the absorbent pad, and concominant release of superabsorbent material from the absorbent pad, is avoided.

Title: Eddy current brake / retarder
Inventor: DESTA GIRMA G
IPC: B60T13/74
Filed: 2002-11-20
Abstract: An eddy current brake or retarder device (12, fig. 1) is disclosed. The device includes a stator 30 mounted to the frame of a vehicle (10, fig. 1), a plurality of poles 36 round the perimeter of the stator, and a rotor 34 mounted within the stator. The rotor includes cooling fins or vanes 52. The rotor 34 is connected via a gear box 32 to a shaft 14 which is the axle of a non-driving wheel 16 of the vehicle 10. The gear box 32 increases the rotational speed of the axle so that the rotor 34 rotates approximately three times faster than the axle 14. The higher rotational speed of the rotor 34 greatly increases the power density of the retarder 12 and improves its braking torque characteristics. The poles 36 have end plates 40 in which ridged faces 42 are formed by cutting grooves in the end plates 40. The sub-poles so formed induce high frequency eddy currents in the surface of the rotor, and avoid saturation. Inductance and time constant are reduced without decreasing braking torque. The retarder develops sufficient torque to serve as the primary braking system of the vehicle 10 and, it is disclosed, will bring the vehicle to rest.
