Title: Self-configuring computer system
Inventor: HAMMER JACK L
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 1995-06-01
Granted: 2000-12-05
Abstract: A  self-configuring  computer  system,  which  configures  and  loads appropriate software to support custom configurations without manual intervention by the user or  the manufacturer,  is disclosed.  The invention includes an "interrogation" module, stored on a system disk and loaded when the computer is first activated, that scans the system for  components  requiring  specific  software  to  operate.     The interrogation module obtains identification data from these components and, based thereon, enables a startup module to select the appropriate software from a series of disk-based files. The startup module also executes configuration software having a characteristic naming pattern when the system is first activated, performs various one-time setup or configuration operations on at least the main system disk to render it compatible with the operating system, and selects the proper version of the operating system for the purchased system.

Granted: 2005-12-06
Abstract: A method of positioning an ophthalmic lens in a holder forming a concave recess, including the steps of conducting a fluid solution containing a surfactant into the recess, placing the ophthalmic lens in the recess, and positioning the holder so that gravity forces the lens into a predetermined position in the recess. The carrier and the lens may then be transported to a lens inspection position, where the lens may be inspected to determine if it is acceptable for consumer use. The surfactant reduces the friction and the hydrophobic attraction between the lens and the surface of the holder forming the recess, helping to insure that the lens is pulled into the desired, predetermined position in the recess.

Abstract: A resilient mounting system for safety barriers, including guardrails, hand rails, etc., includes a urethane rubber or other resilient material substantially between the periphery of the barrier and a floor or base. The barrier is biased against the base so as to provide an stiff yet resilient impact resistance that yields to absorb the energy of impact, such as from a vehicle, rather than requiring the structural material of the barrier itself to absorb and perhaps become dislodged or deformed by the impact. The resilient material can be shaped generally like the periphery of the barrier or it can be a standard shape that is replicated and arranged to engage a support for the barrier. A rail is resiliently mounted between two supports, the resilient mounting being arranged to permit limited relative movement between the rail and the supports but resisting removal of the rail from the supports.

Abstract: A device is described which is useful for providing a dedicated access chann el to the root canal of a tooth. The device (20) has a hollow interior (21) adapted to receive and loosely accommodate the shank (3 2) of an endodontic file. In practice, the orifice of a root canal is exposed by drilling an access cavity. The device (20) is slid over an endodontic file until the wider end (22) of the device (20) is adjacent to the file handle (31). The file tip (33) is then inserted into th e root canal, and the device (20) is brought to bear against the floor of the access cavity with the narrow end (20) against the exposed orifice of the root canal. A polymerizable matrix material is injected around device (20) until the entire access cavity is filled to the biting surface. After the matrix solidifies, the file and device (20), which has a releasing outer surface (24), are removed leaving a conical access channel to the canal orifice.

Abstract: A structure comprising bodies having a functional surface property bonded to a substrate via a siloxane polymer adhesive. The structure may comprise a novel composition comprising a siloxane polymer having carbon bodies bonded thereto by direct carbon to silicon bonds. This composition may be used to bond carbon parti- cles through a medium comprising the siloxane polymer to a vitreous, metal, plastic or other nu- cleophilic substrate. Alternatively, the bodies may comprise alumina, silicon zeolite, organic poly- mers or other nucleophilic compositions, which are bonded directly to silicon atoms of the siloxane polymer. To bond carbon or other nucleophilic bodies to the substrate, the substrate is contacted with a mixture of the bodies and a hydrosiloxane polymer. The mixture is heated to cause the poly- mer to be bonded to the nucleophilic bodies, typ- ically by C-Si, C-O-Si, Si-O-Si or Si-O-Al bonds, and to the substrate by reaction with the surface silanol or other nucleophilic groups. Chromato- graphic methods using a column comprising the novel composition are also disclosed.
