Abstract: A squeegee apparatus (10) for a vacuum cleaner system. The apparatus includes a main body portion having an integrally formed neck portion operable to releasably connect to a wand (12) of the vacuum cleaner system (16). The main body portion forms a manifold (18) and includes a lower end portion to which a squeegee member (22) is releasably secured. The squeegee member includes a central portion (36) having a pair of longitudinally parallel extending bumper portions (38,40), with the bumper portions each including saw tooth-shaped surfaces (48,50). The squeegee blade also depends downwardly from the central portion and outwardly of the bumper portions. The central portion also includes first and second pluralities of ports disposed on opposite sides of the squeegee blade, with one or the other of the pluralities of ports being alternately blocked off during use as the squeegee blade flexes into abutting contact with one or the other of the bumper portions while being moved back and forth over a work surface. The bumper portions also function to maintain the pluralities of ports at a predetermined distance from the work surface during use, thereby maximizing the consistency of the liquid pick-up operation of the apparatus.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for sequentially operating a refrigeration system with multiple evaporators is provided in which only one evaporator is operated at a time and is run until a detected demand for cooling associated with that evaporator is satisfied, or until a predetermined time period has elapsed which corresponds to the normal run time for that evaporator. If the run time expires prior to the demand for cooling being satisfied, and if demand for cooling by another one of the evaporators is present, then operation of the first evaporator is terminated and the other evaporator is operated. Efficiency enhancements are provided such as prematurely initiating operation of a second evaporator at the conclusion of operation of a first evaporator if it appears that a demand for cooling by the second evaporator will occur within a short period of time following termination of operation of the first evaporator.

Abstract: An improved process for positioning a bevel along the edge of an opthamalic lens computes point-to-wheel data definitive of a planar relationship between the lens and the wheel, stores the point-to-wheel data, computes corrected horizontal displacement data definitive of a three dimensional relationship between the lens, the wheel and a plot of sequential contact points therebetween using the computed point-to-wheel data, stores the corrected horizontal displacement data, and controls the relative positions of the edging wheel and the lens in response to the corrected horizontal displacement data. 
     The point-to-wheel data is computed by sequentially testing at successive incremental points of the point-to-wheel data at a beginning reference angle of the lens to determine a transition point at which the wheel ceases to increase and begins to decrease its displacement from the lens. 
     This sequential testing is repeated at successive incremental points for sequentially successive incremental changes in the reference angle to determine a transition point for each incremental change. 
     The corrected horizontal displacement data is computed by sequentially testing at successive incremental angles of a radius originating at a center of rotation of the lens at a beginning reference angle of the lens to determine an incremental angle at which the lens initiates contact with the wheel. This sequential testing is repeated at successive incremental angles at each sequentially successive incremental change in the reference angle to determine an incremental angle at which the lens initiates contact with the wheel for each incremental change. 
     Preferably, the beginning reference angles and the successive incremental changes in the reference angle of the point-to-wheel computing and the corrected horizontal displacement computing are identical and sequential testing at successive incremental points and at successive incremental angles occurs simultaneously for each sequentially successive incremental change in the reference angle.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for making closed-cell, alkenyl aromatic polymer foam packing bodies or foam strands. An alkenyl aromatic polymer material is heated to form a melt polymer material. A blowing agent is incorporated into the melt polymer material at an elevated pressure to form a foamable gel. The blowing agent has 20 weight percent or more of a first blowing agent selected from the group consisting of carbon dioxide and ethane. The foamable gel is extruded through a die to form a foam strand. The foam strand is optionally pelletized to form a plurality of foam bodies. The bodies are further expanded by exposing them one or more times to heated air or steam. Preferably, the strands or bodies are allowed to age for a preselected period of time before and between subsequent expansions. The use of carbon dioxide and/or ethane as blowing agents allows the reduction or elimination of certain blowing agents dassified as volatile organic contaminants, which are currently being employed commercially in making foam bodies.

Abstract: Original image information is manipulated by scaling and/or rotating the information. To scale the original image information, a first and second dimension of the original image information is obtained. A first scaling factor is determined by dividing the first dimension of the receiver sheet by two and dividing the result by the first dimension of the original image information. A second scaling factor is determined by dividing the second dimension of the receiver sheet by the second dimension of the original image information. Electronic signals representative of the original image information are created. One or both of the first and second scaling factors are used to scale the electronic signals. The scaled electronic signals are used to create visible images on the receiver sheet to form a signature such that multiple stacked signatures can be nested and folded to form a pamphlet with pages properly sequenced. The visible images can be created such that they are rotated 90 degrees relative to the original image information.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for compensation for misregistration of printing plates in printing of polychromatic document pages or images, in which a trapping map image is superimposed upon a structured graphic image representing the layout of a document page or image from which it is derived, so as to prevent light leaks and other errors at the boundaries between color regions within the image. The trapping map image is itself a structured graphic object to be included as the last object imaged in the data representing the original image. The geometrical description of this trapping map image is independent of specific trapping decisions applicable to the associated image. Instead, such decisions are controlled by means of a user interface providing options ranging from fully automatic to completely manual interactive operation.
