  • Patent number: 9452549
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a sapphire wafer squaring machine with double swing cutter heads, including a frame, an unwinding mechanism, a winding mechanism, two cutter heads placed at an angle of 90° or 180° between each other, an elevator mechanism for the cutter heads and a revolving table. The unwinding mechanism and the winding mechanism are arranged at both ends of the frame, respectively. Two cutter heads are arranged within the frame. The revolving table is rotatable by an angle of 90°, 180°, 270° or 360° and includes a first table and a second table, which are arranged below the two cutter heads, respectively. The cutter heads of the present disclosure may be swung slightly in cutting, so that the contact area between the fixed-diamond wire and the workpiece under cutting is reduced greatly due to the swing compared with the case where the cutter heads are fixed, thus enhancing the pressure per unit area and the cutting efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20160251104
    Abstract: An embodiment of a beverage bottle can have a bottle body defining an interior space configured for storing a beverage. The bottle can include a neck, for example, having an inner neck portion extending from the body. The neck can have an expansion chamber extending beyond the inner portion opposite the body. The neck defines an interior channel in fluid communication with the interior space and extending through the inner portion and expansion chamber to an outlet of the bottle for filling the interior space and pouring the beverage out therefrom. In one embodiment, the interior channel in the inner portion has a first cross-sectional area that leads into the expansion chamber, with the channel in the expansion chamber having a second cross-sectional area that is significantly larger than the first cross-sectional area. This difference in cross-sectional areas can be used to significantly slow the rise of the beverage level in the expansion chamber as the bottle is filled.

  • Patent number: 7527263
    Abstract: A stalled roll registration system and method includes a mechanism that allows for pivoting deskew action in a pre-registration nip in the form of a segmented pre-registration drive roll assembly mounted on a releasable low friction lateral translation carriage. Outer pre-registration idler nips are provided that open to allow a sheet to pivot and close for transport the sheet. The pre-registration idlers are engaged and the drive roll assembly remains locked in the lateral position for initial paper transport up to the stalled registration roll. After the sheet arrives at the stalled registration roll and starts to form a buckle for deskew, the outer pre-registration idlers and carriage are released. The body of the sheet is then free to pivot about the center drive nip and translate in the lateral direction to self align itself with the registration roll.
