  • Patent number: 11991855
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a fan to cool a component of the information handling system, and a sensor device. The fan includes a first fan inlet, a second fan inlet, and a fan outlet. The fan is configured to draw air into the first and second fan inlets and to blow air out the fan outlet. The sensor device includes a sensor inlet, a sensor outlet, and a cover. The sensor is coupled to the fan with the first fan inlet collocated with the sensor outlet such that air drawn into the first fan inlet is first drawn through the sensor inlet. The cover is configured in a first position to cover the sensor inlet to permit no air flow through the sensor inlet and in a second position to uncover the sensor inlet to permit air to flow through the sensor inlet.

  • Patent number: 5808720
    Abstract: The disclosure is of an eyeglass frame having two lens receiving portions each having an annular channel in which a circular lens may be mounted. The annular channel includes a rear wall which faces the wearer and a frant wall which faces someone who looks at the wearer of the frame. The frame includes an auxiliary wall which extends from the front wall of the channel and changes, for someone looking at the wearer of the frame, the circular appearance of a lens in the channel to another shape determined by the auxiliary wall.

  • Patent number: 5782590
    Abstract: A portable, rotary power tool includes a guide roller and a special designed cutter mounted to the spindle of the tool. The rotary tool is presented to a lens blank mounted to a lens defining pattern. The guide roller engages and follows the shape defining lens pattern while the special designed cutter contacts and removes material from the lens blank being contoured. The cutter may be square and include a further shape defining cutting surface thereon for providing a bevel to the lens edge. In a further embodiment, a rotary power tool similar to the above device, including the guide roller and cutter, is mounted to a support fixture. The fixture includes a pivoting arm assembly to which a lens blank and lens defining pattern are mounted. The pivot arm assembly is rotatable toward and away from the cutter carried by the rotary tool such that the cutter engages and removes material from the lens blank dependant upon the shape defined by the lens pattern.

  • Patent number: 5764331
    Abstract: The disclosure is of a lens having a bevelled rim and a frame having a channel for receiving the lens and carrying a bevel which is complementary to the bevel of the lens. The lens also carries on its rim a plurality of wedge-like positioning members which grip the channel of the frame and essentially lock the lens in place so that it cannot rotate.

  • Patent number: 5694194
    Abstract: A custom-fitted economical eyeware frame constructed at the site of dispensing from a minimum inventory of parts includes lenses of predetermined size and power encompassed by appropriate eye wires, and a bridge assembly, temple end pieces and temple ear stems. Upon selection of an appropriate bridge assembly, any, or all, of the remaining parts may be individually adjusted to custom fit the individual's interpupillary distance requirement. The construction of the eyeglass frame may be readily accomplished by an eyewear professional at any location.

  • Patent number: 5459534
    Abstract: The disclosure is of an eyeglass frame having two lens receiving portions removably coupled to a coupling member which permits the spacing between the two lens receiving portions to be adjusted. The lens receiving portions have markings and notches to permit the proper placement of a lens therein and these portions are selectively prepared to present a non-circular appearance even though they receive circular lenses.

  • Patent number: 4186105
    Abstract: Diphenylamine-formaldehyde containing N,N,N',N'-tetraphenyldiaminomethane as the principal product of reaction is obtained by:(1) In a first stage, heating together a mixture of diphenylamine and formaldehyde in a molecular ratio of from 3:1 to 1:1.5 at a temperature of up to 110.degree. C. until evolution of water is substantially complete, then in a second stage,(2) heating the resultant mixture at a temperature of from 120.degree. C. to a maximum of 140.degree. C. with exclusion of oxygen or oxidizing agents, and removing water and formaldehyde from the reaction mixture until the proportion of bis-(N,N-diphenylaminomethyl)ether present in the mixture falls to below 10% by weight.The molten reaction product is preferably converted to a solid product by pouring into a stirred, relatively cool immiscible liquid, and coating the resulting granules with a small amount of magnesium oxide or magnesium carbonate.
