Title: Actuation mechanism for variable focus spectacles
Inventor: KURTIN STEPHEN
IPC: G02C5/00
Filed: 2005-11-10
Granted: 2014-10-07
Abstract: An actuating mechanism for spectacles which include two variable focus lens units. The mechanism mounts on the spectacle bridge; and includes two elongated drive levers mounted near opposite ends of the bridge, each extending toward the other end of the bridge. The free end of each driving lever is connected to its corresponding lens unit through a linkage. The driving levers are caused to rotate simultaneously, but in opposite directions, by a cam that is driven by a sliding member that slides along the bridge. By positioning the sliding member as desired, the spectacles wearer causes the cam to rotate, thereby causing the driving levers to rotate, and both lens units to change focal length.

Patent CA-2617677-C (CA)
Inventor: MUKHOPADHYAY INDRAJIT
IPC: A23L27/40
Filed: 2005-12-09
Granted: 2013-02-12
Abstract: The process of the invention deals with significant improvements in salt purity and whiteness brought about through treatment of brine with alum prior to charging into crystallizers for solar salt production. The improvements realized are partly on account of elimination of suspended impurities like gypsum and clayey matter in the brine, which may otherwise be carried along with the brine in the crystallizer and finally end up in the salt, and partly due to the improved crystal size and morphology that minimizes embedded impurities in the salt. Rain washing of the heaped salt has resulted in a salt with greatly reduced calcium and sulphate impurity levels hitherto not achieved in solar salt production. Alum treatment by the process of the invention requires no additional time or infrastructure and the cost of the treatment works out to < 3 U.S. cents per ton of salt. The process can be implemented in any solar salt works.

Abstract: The present invention provides a convenient valve device. A temperature sensor (150) is disposed to project from a housing (15) to a tank inner space (12), can directly detect the temperature of a gas in the tank inner space (12), and can detect the temperature with high response without being influenced by the heat capacity of the housing (15) and the like. Moreover, a coil (17) for generating a magnetic force to drive a valve (16) is provided with three terminals (173) to (175) arranged at different positions in an axial direction, and a drive voltage is selectively applied between two of the terminals (173) to (175). With this, without controlling the drive voltage, a current value of the driving current which energizes the coil (17) can be changed by selecting between which terminals the drive voltage is applied. Therefore, without controlling the drive voltage, it is possible to suppress wasting electric power in such a manner that the driving current of the large current value is generated in the start-up time, and the current value of the driving current is made small in the holding time.

Granted: 2016-08-02
Abstract: A radiofrequency identification (RFID) multiplexer, which may be in a network, interprets an RF signal from an RFED reader as RFE) tag interrogation data. A  single cable directs an RF signal from the RFID reader and RF control signals and/or RF power through the multiplexer. An RF sampler may be coupled to the cable; and an RF detector detects the RF signal from the cable via the RF  sampler. A data decoder decodes and interprets the RF signal as the RFID tag interrogation data and forwards the RFID tag interrogation data to a control logic circuit as a MUX channel-change command. The logic circuit and decoder may be combined in a microcontroller, and an RF backscatter modulator coupled to the cable enables reverse communication with the RFID reader to determine whether another RFID multiplexer is coupled to the RFID multiplexer.
