Publication number: 20170126921Abstract: A compact and lighter image capturing device of increased spatial resolution (relative to the heads up scanners) and having a higher speed operates as a contact type document scanner. This scanner includes a static 2D array of lenses optically coupled to a static 2D array of color digital image sensors. A static light source dimensioned to match the surface of the document ensures a uniform illumination of the entire document. The entire document or any desired portions of the document can be scanned and saved without any mechanical movements. This scanner also works in a video-camera mode and a dedicated display is used to pre-proof and visualize live any image portions or the entire document before the image of the document is saved in a dedicated memory. The color balance and the position of the document and can be thus adjusted prior to scanning it by using its live image.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2016Publication date: May 4, 2017Inventor: Gheorghe Olaru

Patent number: 7891969Abstract: A nozzle for an injection molding apparatus is provided. The injection molding apparatus has a mold component that defines a mold cavity and a gate into the mold cavity. The nozzle includes a nozzle body, a heater, a tip, a tip surrounding piece and a mold component contacting piece. The nozzle body defines a nozzle body melt passage therethrough, that is adapted to receive melt from a melt source. The heater is thermally connected to the nozzle body for heating melt in the nozzle body. The tip defines a tip melt passage therethrough, that is downstream from the nozzle body melt passage, and that is adapted to be upstream from the gate. The tip surrounding piece is removably connected with respect to said nozzle body. The mold component contacting piece is connected with respect to the nozzle body.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2004Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Mold-Masters (2007) LimitedInventor: Gheorghe Olaru

Patent number: 7614872Abstract: An injection molding apparatus having a manifold and several manifold melt channels communicating with several hot runner nozzles includes a melt redistribution element. The melt redistribution element is placed at specific locations along the melt channels to balance the uneven shear stress profile accumulated during the flow of a melt along the manifold channels. The melt redistribution element has an unobstructed central melt bore having at its inlet a narrowing tapered channel portion. The melt redistribution element also includes a helical melt pathway portion that surrounds the central melt bore. The incoming melt is first subjected to a pressure increase by the tapered portion that causes the melt to flow at a higher velocity through the central melt bore. The outer portion of the melt is forced to flow along the helical path and thus it changes direction multiple times and partially mixes with the melt flowing through the central melt bore.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2005Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: Mold-Masters (2007) LimitedInventors: Gheorghe Olaru, Rhonda Goslinski
