  • Printhead drip management using indexing cleaning web-backed flexure chute
    Patent number: 9028043
    Abstract: A printhead cleaning device is configured to use a cleaning web to absorb the residual ink left on the faceplate of the printhead. The cleaning web is supplied from a feed cartridge and taken up by a take-up cartridge. The cartridges include indexing mechanisms that are configured to dispense and pull-in, respectively, a predetermined length of the cleaning web during each maintenance cycle of the printhead.

  • Scratch-resistant coating and method of making coated lenses
    Patent number: 5246728
    Abstract: Plastic ophthalmic lenses are coated with a spin-coating process. A coating solution containing at least ninety percent tri- and tetra-acrylates in a butanol solvent is spin-coated onto the surface of a plastic lens. After drying, the coating is exposed to ultraviolet radiation to cure the coating. A photoinitiator is used which counteracts the tendency of oxygen to inhibit curing of the coating at its exterior surface.

  • Apparatus for applying scratch-resistant coatings to plastic ophthalmic lenses
    Patent number: 5246499
    Abstract: Plastic ophthalmic lenses are coated with a scratch-resistant coating using a spin coating process. The lenses are separated from lens mold pieces, and the lenses are routed through a coating system where the lens coating in applied. A conveyor moves the lens mold pieces toward an inspection station while the corresponding lenses are moving through the coating system. The operation of the lens coating system and the conveyor are coordinated so that the coated lens and the lens mold pieces from which that lens was made are delivered as a group to the inspection station.
