Abstract: A system for selectively adjusting an objective lens correction collar includes a gear ring sized and shaped to fit about a correction collar of an objective lens. The system also includes an adjustment mechanism that has a motor operably connected to a complementary gear configured to selectively engage and cause movement of the gear ring, thereby adjusting the correction collar.

Abstract: A rotary fluid machine comprising a housing, a drive disk, a drive shaft, inner and outer cylindrical assemblies, and a plurality of vanes. The drive disk is supported within the housing for rotation about a first axis, and the drive shaft is connected to the drive disk to rotate that disk about the first axis. The inner and outer cylindrical assemblies extend within the housing, and the housing, the drive disk, and the inner and outer cylindrical assemblies form a working chamber that extends around, eccentric to, that first axis. The vanes are connected to the drive disc and are located in the working chamber to compress or to drive a fluid therein.

Abstract: A slide projector having a slidably movable magazine with slides, a platform to receive a slide from the magazine, a first support member to transport a slide from the magazine into the platform and a second support to return the used slide from the platform into the magazine. The first support is rigidly mounted on a slidably movable carriage and adapted to push each successive slide from the magazine when the latter is in alignment with the platform. The second support is pivotally mounted on the slide carriage which moves in the direction toward or backward from the magazine. The second support is a three-linked member adapted to engage the used slide to push the latter back to the magazine and having a pin between a first lever and a second lever. A cammed surface is provided in the housing which engages the pin upon slidable movement of the carriage.
