  • Publication number: 20060117975
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to systems and methods that remove an interleaf sheet interposed between plate sheets from a material stack used, for example, in a computer-to-plate imaging system and/or environment. Embodiments of the system and method can also remove plate sheets from an interleaf sheet, and transport the plate sheet for subsequent imaging.

  • Publication number: 20050189692
    Abstract: A platesetting system and method comprising a pair of dual capstan rollers that receives a recording medium and records an image on the received medium as the medium is transported through the system. The system and method advantageously enable at least a portion of the image to extend from a leading edge of the medium to a trailing edge of the medium.

  • Patent number: 6637328
    Abstract: An imaging system includes a guide which transports a recording medium and a roller which holds the recording medium in place to pull the recording medium through an imaging plane defined by a surface of the roller. A device forms an image onto the recording medium at the imaging plane. The roller is a vacuum roller that uses a vacuum produced at the imaging plane to hold the recording medium in place during transport and imaging.

  • Patent number: 6471686
    Abstract: A drug delivery device comprising a holding reservoir, a pump, a delivery reservoir and an outlet, said holding reservoir being connected to said delivery reservoir through said pump by a connection, said pump being operable manually whereby fluid is transferred from the holding reservoir to the delivery reservoir, said delivery reservoir being connected to the outlet through a flow restriction which controls flow to the outlet, said delivery reservoir being resiliently expandable from a minimum volume to a maximum volume whereby the pressure induced on the fluid within the delivery reservoir between a first volume and a second volume provides a generally constant rate of fluid delivery where the first volume is greater than the second volume and wherein the connection between the holding reservoir and the delivery reservoir permits flow only from the holding reservoir to the delivery reservoir while the pressure within the delivery reservoir is less than a maximum pressure, said connection having a control m

  • Patent number: 6319245
    Abstract: A drug delivery means comprising a holding reservoir (11), a pumping means (16), a delivery reservoir (23) and outlet (25), said holding reservoir (11) being connected to the delivery reservoir (23) through the pump (16) where the pump (16) is operable manually to effect transfer of fluid from the holding reservoir (11) to the delivery reservoir (23), the delivery reservoir (23) being connected to the outlet (25) through a flow restriction means (27) which controls the flow to the outlet (25), the delivery reservoir being formed to be resiliently expandable to a maximum volume and wherein the connection between the holding reservoir (11) and delivery reservoir (23) prevents pressurisation of the delivery reservoir (23) substantially beyond a predetermined pressure which will be achieved on the delivery reservoir (23) obtaining its maximum volume, a control means (30) provided with the delivery reservoir to prevent further pressurisation of the delivery reservoir (23) substantially beyond the predetermined pre

  • Patent number: 5871478
    Abstract: A subcutaneous drug delivery means which comprises a holding reservoir (11), a pumping means (15), a delivery reservoir (18) and an outlet (21). The holding reservoir (11) is connected to the delivery reservoir (18) through the pump (15) which is operable manually to deliver fluid from the holding reservoir (11) to the delivery reservoir (18). The delivery reservoir (18) is resiliently expandable from a minimum volume to a maximum volume and is connected to the outlet (21) through a flow restriction means (23) which controls flow to the outlet.
