Abstract: EDGE DAM SYNCHRONIZATION AND TENSIONING CONTROL METHOD AND       SYSTEM FOR THE SHAPING AND PROFILING OF CONTINUOUSLY CAST METAL SECTIONS BY MEANS OF A CONTINUOUS CASTING MACHINE                       ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE     A method and system are provided for synchronizing the traveling edge dams in the continuous casting of metal slab, strip, or bar, thereby providing a means for the continuous uniform casting of longitudinally spaced edge shapes, contours, or profiles such as integral shoulders, lugs, lobes, depressions, curves, or indentations in the opposite edges of the cast product. Shapes include the protruding  lugs, cast directly opposite each other, for suspending copper anodes in electrolytic refining--also the intruding, material-saving contours in the tops of anodes. A belt-type continuous casting machine is shown wherein two moving contoured edge dam loops each comprise blocks strung upon flexible endless metal straps. The moving edge dams on each side of the mold must be synchronized, regardless of disturbing thermal variations notably. "Back breakers" exert upward rolling contact force controllably and separately against each moving edge dam loop along its return path, thereby changing the local curvature and so adjusting the degree of mutual compression and closeness of the constituent dam blocks or the end-to-end spacing of the same. Such compression effectively shortens the elevated edge dam loop and thereby hastens its revolutions. Known previous methods of heating or cooling to synchronize the edge dam  loops may advantageously be used in addition to back-breaker control. The positioning of separate "back-breaker" apparatus in an inverted configuration near the entrance to the moving mold results in a significant improvement in the sealing capability of the entering edge dams against the lower casting belt where molten metal is introduced.

Title: Device for measuring pupillary distance
Inventor: MIZUNO TOSHIAKI
IPC: A61B3/11
Filed: 1988-12-07
Granted: 1993-06-22
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE         Since a certain relationship exists between a pupillary distance at a viewing distance and a pupillary distance at another viewing distance, the pupillary distance at a desired viewing distance can be obtained by making a predetermined correction in the results of a pupillary distance measurement at a fixed viewing distance, without requiring a convexed lens in the device to be moved.  The fixed viewing distance is preferably set at a small value such as 1 to 2 meters so that problems such as filure in forming a fused image due to machine near sightedness can be avoided.  The device has sighting mark forming means which can be installed at any portion of the measuring device for enabling easy assembly, unlike conventional measuring devices which require that the sighting mark forming means is located in relation to the (corneal) vertex distance of the subject.

IPC: E04B1/68
Filed: 1989-03-06
Granted: 1992-10-13
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE          The joint bridging device consists essentially of a bridging unit with anchoring units attached to its longitudinal sides. In order to achieve a largely stepless, smooth transition across a joint from one building component to another, ribs on the bridging unit engage in grooves on the anchoring unit, and the inner surfaces of the grooves run essentially at an acute angle to the upper surface of the centre section of the device.  Ribs on the bridging unit have a wedge-shaped cross section matched to this angle and tapering to the outside of the device, so that the transition from the bridging unit to the anchoring units and thus to the building components separated by the gap can be accomplished smoothly and steplessly.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE    A reference and calibration grid (44a or 44b) of silicon is incorporated into a particle beam lithography system (10) and used to calibrate the system (10).  The grid (44a or 44b) is formed in a silicon die (50) of much thicker structure and with square holes (64) and  with a period to enable direct coordination with binary electronics.  The grid (44a or 44b) is coated with a suitable material, preferably gold (72), to prevent charged particles or electrons from passing through the solid portions of the grid and the grid is preferably mounted on a grid holder (52) which can be aligned to the X-Y reference on the workpiece stage (32) and may be adjusted in tilt and in height (Z direction).  The crystallography of silicon provides accuracies in orthogonality, corner radii, and edge roughness required for grids used as fiducials for particle beam lithography.  In addition, as part of a thicker structure (silicon die 50), the grid (44a or 44b) can easily be handled and hence mounting and alignment procedures can; be markedly simplified.  The flatness of the grid (44a or 44b) is consistent over the whole surface.
