  • Patent number: 9351569
    Abstract: An apparatus for storing and presenting parts to a robot for automated tending of various manufacturing processes. The method and apparatus allow for an operator, human or other tending robot, to open and place parts into a series of vertically stacked drawers within an enclosure. On the opposing side of the enclosure is the production side where a robot opens an individual drawer and while the drawer is open, successively picks out parts for use in the manufacturing processes as it is programmed to do. The part may or may not be placed back into the drawer based on the part manufacturing process. The robot then closes the drawer and successively cycles through the drawers, opening them on the production side and once the parts have been processed, closing them. The operator then successively opens each drawer, removes any processed parts, if placed back into the drawer as dictated by the part manufacturing process, refills the drawer with new parts and then closes it.

  • Patent number: 5180757
    Abstract: Actinic radiation curable composition suitable for use in coating electronic components and as a printing ink comprising as the essential components:(a) a monomer selected from the group consisting of monofunctional vinyl monomers and multifunctional vinyl monomers; or(b) a prepolymer selected from the group consisting of monofunctional vinyl polymers and multifunctional vinyl polymers;(c) a photoinitiator;(d) at least one filler; and(e) at least one surface active agent having a molecular weight greater than or equal to about 227;wherein one of the surface active agent or the filler has a pH greater than or equal to 7 and the other of the surface active agent or the filler has a pH less than or equal to 7 such that dispersion of the filler in the composition is enhanced and relative high loading of filler in the composition is obtainable;(f) or at least two surface active agents having a molecular weight greater than or equal to about 227 wherein one of the surface active agents has a pH greater than or equa
