摘要： A dip coat process material handling system and method for coating multiple layers of material on a plurality of workpieces, in particular for producing a multi-layer optical photoconductive drum, wherein a plurality of pipes are suspended from a carrier pallet which transports the workpieces through a dip coat cell housing various dip coating stations. The system includes a load/unload station, vertical and horizontal transport systems for transporting the carrier pallet having workpieces loaded thereon to the various dip coating stations, a drying/cooling booth, and a return conveyor system. The invention allows complete dip coat processing to be completed in an in-line configuration while the workpieces are attached to the carrier pallet, thereby eliminating load/unload steps at each dip coating station to provide efficient and flexible processing of materials.

摘要： An incision guide instrument for radial keratotomy has a lens positionable over a cornea, containing an incision guide slot adjacent to which is disposed two mirror surfaces within the lens. The mirrors are angled to allow a surgeon to observe and control the blade depth penetration into the cornea. The slotted, mirrored lens is rotatable and has clip and notch means to locate any of sixteen different radial incision positions. Transverse arcuate cuts are also allowed by the rotatable lens, and a stop means prevents the transverse cuts from contacting the radial cuts. An annular cone disposed over the sclera defines a vacuum chamber for holding the eye in position relative to the lens.

摘要： A retroilluminating indirect gonioprism comprising an optical prism, an oblique reflector and light baffle to reduce the intensity of light reflected from the gonioprism anterior surface back toward an observer, and an opaque surface to substantially prevent retinal burns when using the gonioprism with a directed energy beam. Retroillumination of anterior chamber structures is provided by fiber optics incorporated into the gonioprism housing which direct light from an external source into the limbal region of the eye. This retroillumination increases the accuracy of identification of structural landmarks (e.g., the scleral spur) which are important in argon laser trabeculoplasty. A directed energy beam, as from a high energy laser, may be directed through the gonioprism while an eye structure on which the beam is focussed is observed through the gonioprism. First-surface reflection of a portion of the directed energy beam passes obliquely toward a light baffle and is substantially absorbed, while the transmitted portion of the beam is slightly laterally displaced and strikes the gonioprism anterior surface. The portion of the beam reflected from the gonioprism anterior surface back toward the observer again undergoes partial reflection oblique to the visual axis and slight lateral displacement before reaching the observer. Thus, the amount of light reflected from the gonioprism anterior surface back toward an observer is reduced. Substantial optical correction for astigmatism of oblique incidence and for assuring substantial parallelism between the observer's line-of-sight to the gonioprism and the gonioprism optical axis is preferably provided through appropriate configuration of at least one substantially convex surface which comprises at least a portion of the optical prism anterior surface.

摘要： The device is a counterbalance system and method to reduce the work of conventionally balanced, reciprocating cantilevered beam pumping units, and comprises a pair of transversely oriented support mounts attached to the cantilevered beam or walking beam of a pre-existing reciprocating pumping unit, attaching on either side of the pivoting-fulcrum, mounting point of the cantilevered walking beam. These transverse mounting points terminate individually on either side of said walking beam in channel-like saddles that support independent, parallel beams, which in turn cantilever themselves in tandem with said walking beam of the pumping unit; moreover, the position of the parallel beams by virtue of the transverse mounts creates a new center of gravity corresponding to the center of the pivoting mounting point of the walking beam, eliminating counter-productive torque forces on the walking beam as it tilts from horizontal.
