Title: Apparatus and methods for alternating laser treatment of pharmaceutical dispensers
Inventor: GEERKE JOHAN H
IPC: B23K26/00
Filed: 2000-07-20
Granted: 2008-08-26
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for laser treat-ing batches of pharmaceutical dispensers are provided.  Sequential batches of untreated dispensers are carried on alternate batch carriers that are advanced into as-sociated alternate stationary laser treatment stations.  The multiple stationary laser treatment stations are lo-cated within a region of adjacency in which a single laser source can be operated to treat alternate batches of dispensers positioned within the associated alternate laser treatment stations. A laser controller directs the laser beam to alternatingly operate in each laser treat-ment station and, within each laser treatment station, to treat each dispenser in a batch of dispensers positioned therein. An advance coordinator advances the batch carriers in coordination with the activity of the laser controller in a repeating alternating cycle wherein one batch of untreated dispensers is held stationary in posi-tion within one laser treatment station (while the laser is operated in the one laser treatment station) during the time that another batch of untreated dispensers is being advanced into another laser treatment station. In this manner, a batch of untreated dispensers is substan-tially continuously positioned in one or another laser treatment station and the laser is optimally substantially continuously operating to treat dispensers within one or another of the laser treatment stations.

Granted: 2009-12-22
Abstract: The invention concerns the production of an avoidance path in the horizontal plane enabling an aircraft to resolve a route conflict with another aircraft bringing about a risk of collision in the next 5 to 10 minutes and which minimises the negative consequences, on the aircraft flight plan, of the resulting diversion. The invention concerns a method for working out an avoidance path comprising two parts: a first jinking part with an initial heading such that the threatening aircraft adopts a path relative to the threatened aircraft tangent, on one side or the other, to the edges of the angle under which the threatening aircraft sees a protective circle drawn around the threatened aircraft with a radius equal to an accepted minimum distance, and a second part for returning to the initial route. Said method for working out an avoidance path can be carried out by a flight management computer which, once the evasive course has been accepted by the aircraft crew, continues to monitor said avoidance path by the automatic pilot system.

Abstract: A longitudinal inertial force (a) produced by a piston (14) is cancelled by an inertial force (b) produced by a crank shaft (15), and secondarily produced right and left inertial forces (c, d) vibrate the outboard motor main body right and left around an imaginary center of vibration (C). At this time, an elastic body (74) elastically supporting the outboard motor main body on the ship is set in such a manner that tangential (L3-direction) rigidity around the imaginary center of vibration (C) is lower than radial (L2-direction) rigidity around said imaginary center of vibration (C); therefore, said righ t and left vibration is effectively reduced by the low rigidity of the elastic body (74). Propeller thrusts (e, f) acting in a longitudinal direction (L1- direction) are transmitted to the ship through the elastic body (74). Since the rigidity of the elastic body (74) along this direction is set at a high value, the propeller thrusts (e, f) can be effectively transmitted to the sh ip.

Abstract: A new class of solid solvents selected from adipamides, bisacetamides, biscarbamates, and dibenzamides has been found effective to reduce the melt viscosity of certain block copolymers while not substantially adversely affecting the mechanical properties of the block copolymer when both block copolymer and solid solvent are below their melt temperature. The block copolymers can be polyether-polyurethane block copolymers, polyester-polyurethane block copolymers, polyester-polyether block copolymers, polyamide polyether, or polyamide polyester. The combination is especially useful as an adhesive, as the adhesive component for fabric laminates or as the adhesive for seam sealing tapes.

Filed: 2000-11-08
Granted: 2011-04-05
Abstract: The invention provides a new solid state lamp (10) emitting a light useful for room illumination and other applications. It comprises a solid state Light Source (12) which transmits light through a Separator (14) to a Disperser (16) that disperses the light in a desired pattern and/or changes its color. In one embodiment, the Light Source (12) is a blue emitting LED operating with current high enough for room illumination, the Separator (14) is a light pipe or fiber optic device, and the Disperser (16) disperses the light radially and converts some of the blue light to yellow to produce a white light mixture. The Separator (14) spaces the Light Source a sufficient distance from the Disperser (16) such that heat from the Light Source (12) will not transfer to the Disperser (16) when the Light Source (12) is carrying elevated currents necessary for room illumination.
