摘要:
An improved process for removal of particulate matter having airborne potential. The process includes applying a foam to the particulate matter in a particulate matter area to prevent the particulate matter from becoming airborne. The particulate matter area may then be removed, prior to the foam draining, and encased in a storage device.

摘要:
A glassware inspection apparatus that includes an electronic control system and method for optimum control of indexing and inspecting glass containers. The control system generally includes a driver circuit for each servo motor of the apparatus, an electronic control unit, and an operator interface. Information about the apparatus and the particular containers being inspected is entered into the control system through the operator interface. The electronic control unit executes a recursive algorithm that utilizes the inputted information, as well as predetermined constraints of the apparatus, to develop an optimum motion profile for each servo motor. The optimum motion profiles provide the overall apparatus with coordinated control and increased container throughput speed, while efficiently distributing cycle time and thermal energy between the various servo motors.

A brick-cutting machine having an axially rotating reel with sets of radially disposed, spring-tensioned cutting wires is equipped with resiliently compressible, rubber cushion blocks or pads positioned to cushion and limit rebounding movement of the wire-tensioning springs and thereby prevent the application of excessive and destructive tension forces to the cutting wires of the reel.

Devices and methods for providing reminders to a contact lens wearer comprise a timing circuit, manually actuatable controls for setting and controlling the timing circuit, and an electronic visual display responsive to the timing circuit. The electronic visual display comprises a clock display, a calendar display, and a message display configured to illuminate a reminder message instructing the contact lens wearer to replace the contact lenses and/or catalyzing platinum disks in the contact lens case. The manually actuatable controls comprise a plurality of use period actuation mechanisms, wherein each actuation mechanism corresponds to an intended period of use, and at least one reset actuation mechanism for updating the device upon replacement of the contact lenses and catalyzing platinum disk.

A plug gauge for testing the mouth of a container includes a spring carried by a support, a rod having one end coupled to the spring, and a gauge plug coupled to the other end of the rod. A control mechanism supports the rod and is coupled to an electric motor. Motion of the control mechanism by the motor lowers the rod and plug into the container mouth under force of the spring, and thereafter lifts the rod and plug out of the container mouth. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the spring takes the form of an air spring. A stripper is operatively coupled to the control mechanism in the preferred embodiment of the invention for lowering against the container mouth, as the rod and plug are lowered by the spring and the motor, for holding the container mouth as the rod and plug are lifted from the container mouth. At least one sensor is coupled to the spring in the preferred embodiment of the invention, and is responsive to position of the end of the rod for determining penetration of the plug into the container mouth.
摘要:
An ultrasonic imaging system including a power on self test (POST) and an extended self test (EST). The POST includes (a) a verification test, (b) a register test (c) a controller test, (d) a receive digital signal path test and (e) a basic front end test. The POST is initiated, performed and completed within a short time, such as three seconds, from power ON. The EST is performed after the POST at the discretion of an operator, and includes a transmit test, a transducer element test, a front end voltage test and a receive test.
摘要:
Floor tile having objectionable particulate matter therein, is removed from a permanent substrate to which it is adhered by placing thereon a soy-based solvent and retaining the solvent in place for at least 36 hours. After this time period, all adhesion is released and the floor tile physically removed without residual adhesion or breakage thereof.
摘要:
An apparatus for inspecting articles of glassware at a plurality of angularly spaced inspection stations includes a conveyor that moves articles of glassware to and from inspection stations, a drive roller that rotates articles of glassware at at least one inspection station, and an inspection device spaced from an inspection station and adapted to inspect an article of glassware as it is moved by the conveyor and caused to pass by the inspection device. A method for inspecting articles of glassware at a plurality of angularly spaced inspection stations includes the steps of moving the articles of glassware to and from the inspection stations, rotating the articles of glassware about an axis at at least one inspection station, inspecting the articles of glassware while they are rotating, stopping the rotation about the axis of the articles of glassware, moving the articles of glassware away from said at least one inspection station without rotating the articles of glassware about said axis, and inspecting the articles of glassware as they are moved.
