Abstract:
A lens holding jig used for immersing a lens (L) in a liquid by holding the lens (L) at at least three positions that are side holding portions (41, 42) for holding both left and right edges of the lens (L), and at a lower-side holding portion (43) for holding the lower edge of the lens (L). The jig is structured such that the side holding portions (41, 42) each have a letter V-shaped holding portion (404) for holding the edge of the lens and have a vertically extending portion (403) extending downward from the V-shaped holding portion (404) along the edge of the lens (L). Further, a lower-side holding portion (1) is structured so as to have a support plate (11) having at its upper end a cut-out portion (110) for supporting an end edge of a lens (L2), and an auxiliary plate (12) formed in one piece with the support plate (11) at an intersection angle. The jig can reduce as much as possible the occurrence of appearance defect of a lens at the side holding portions for supporting the sides of a lens and at the lower-side holding portion for supporting the lower side of the lens.
Abstract:
A process and relating plant for applying protective coats of paint to containers, especially plastic bottles. The process involves gripping the bottles by means of rotating gripping devices fastened to a conveyor chain, and conveying said bottles to all the different stations involved in the process: coating, drying, and curing. Centrifugation is used to remove any excess coating from the external surface of the bottles, keeping the bottles fastened to the same conveyor chain.
Abstract:
A semi-automated coating system for providing medical devices with antimicrobial coatings is disclosed. The semi-automated coating system extends the coating solution's usable life span by minimizing exposure to light, air and temperature extremes. Moreover, the disclosed semi-automated coating system minimizes operator and environmental exposure to the coating solutions. Methods disclose techniques for preparing coating solutions, setting up the coating system and operating the device. Moreover, the systems and methods described herein minimize operator intervention with the coating processes and provide superior product consistency.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of forming a drug-polymer coated stent. A polymeric coating is applied onto at least a portion of a stent framework and dried. A jet of heated gas is directed towards excess coating portions of the dried polymeric coating. The excess coating portions, which extend into apertures of the stent framework, are removed from the apertures of the stent framework by reflowing the polymeric coating with the directed jet of heated gas. A drug-polymer coated stent with a reflowed drug-polymer coating and a system for treating a vascular condition are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A coating process involving a hollow cylinder, a hollow shaft coaxial with the cylinder connecting a first and a second spacing device, mounting thereon on a vertical rod which is concentric to and mounted within a cylindrical coating vessel having a top and bottom, introducing coating liquid into the vessel adjacent to the bottom and withdrawing the liquid thereby depositing a layer of the coating liquid on the outside of the hollow cylinder and wherein a liquid seal is formed between the top and bottom of the cylinder and the hollow shaft.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for the surface treatment of workpieces (12) such as vehicle bodies. One such device has a plurality of successive treatment stations (1-9), a guiding system (16, 17) having a first guiding section (16) extending in the region of the treatment stations (1-9), and a plurality of rotational mounts (13) which can move individually on said guiding system (16, 17). Each rotational mount (13) has a holding device (14) for at least one workpiece (12) and a rotational axis (15) which is arranged in such a way that the workpeice (12) in the holding device (14) can be brought into, or taken out of, one of the treatment stations (1-9) by rotation about the rotational axis (15).
Abstract:
An inventive apparatus for producing electrophotographic photoreceptor includes a guide portion permitting passage of a cylindrical coated member; a coating-solution feed portion disposed around an outer periphery of the guide portion and allowing a coating solution to flow over an upper end of the guide portion thereby applying the solution to an outer periphery of the coated member; a coating-solution feeding assembly for feeding the coating solution to the coating-solution feed portion; a coating-solution recovery portion disposed around an outer periphery of the coating-solution feed portion via a partitioning wall for recovery of the coating solution flowing from the coating-solution feed portion over the partitioning wall; and an openable communicating portion for communication between the coating-solution feed portion and the coating-solution recovery portion.
Abstract:
A system for processing a disk includes an end-effector having a plurality of fingers. The end-effector is mounted to a rotary actuator. The rotary actuator is mounted to a linear stage. The linear stage is positioned adjacent to an air track and a tank. The rotary actuator and the linear stage place the fingers into the inner diameter of a disk on the air track. The fingers grip the inner diameter of the disk. The rotary actuator and the liner stage then place the fingers holding the disk into the tank. The tank is filled with a processing liquid such as a lubrication solution to lubricate the disk.
