Abstract: A system for protecting a sector of tissue from exposure to surgically directed radiation includes a processor and an input device, a camera, and an output screen in electronic communication with the processor. A software resident on the processor receives camera data containing an image of a region of tissue, which includes at least a portion of a predetermined area desired to receive therapeutic radiation. The software also routes the image for display superimposes thereon first indicia indicative of the predetermined area. Data are received on a location of a sector of the tissue desired to be protected from the radiation and for superimposing on the displayed image second indicia indicative of the sector. In a specific embodiment the tissue is an eye and the predetermined area is at least a portion of the cornea.

Abstract: Bank notes arriving from a control machine are fed along a feed pipe which has a plurality of outfeeds, each connected to an infeed zone of a forming channel along which an accompanying element moves, equipped with a surface on which the bank notes are rested, on top of one another, by a rotary drum located between each outfeed and the respective infeed zone, forming an ordered stack. Close to the infeed zone each forming channel has a shielding wall which is mobile between a non-operating position in which the infeed zone is open, and a position in which the latter is partially closed, limiting the inflows of air which facilitate bank note feed along the pipe and the inflows of air generated by rotation of the drum. A vibrating plate on a side wall of the channel and close to the infeed zone of the channel facilitates correct bank note stacking.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a size reducing machine with a rotor having a plurality of hammers arranged to size reduce waste material upon impact. The rotor is contained with a tub that includes a tub floor for feeding the waste material toward the rotor. Located proximate to the tub floor is a gator plate with a serrated edge for initial material for sizing of the waste material.

Abstract: A rotor assembly for use with size reducing machines having a drive motor comprising a central shaft with a drive end for securement to the drive motor and an opposing outboard end. The rotor assembly also comprises a webbing engaged with the central shaft for supporting the rotor assembly, a rotor casing substantially seals the webbing, and a plurality of sockets secure to a plurality of casing throughbores. The webbing comprises a drive end plate secured to the central shaft with a bushing, an outboard end plate secured to the central shaft with a bushing, and a plurality of web support sockets aligned in two transversely aligned rows. The web socket plates each comprise two socket receiver channels for alignment with the sockets. Finally, a plurality of hammers releasably secure to the plurality of sockets.

Abstract: A hammer tip is provided with a centrally located bolt hole for receipt of at least one bolt for releasable securement to a hammer. The hammer tip includes a front face having a working edge, and a back with two opposing shoulder sections with a recessed section therebetween. The hammer includes a support shoulder for receipt of the bottom of the hammer tip. Together, the shoulder sections, the recess formed between, and the support shoulder create a saddle-back for releasable integration with the hammer.

Abstract: A high-speed, multi-pocket "small footprint" document sort machine having a large number of sort pockets configured to occupy a relatively small floor space. The pockets are arranged in multiple, horizontal tiers which are vertically spaced with respect to each other.
