Abstract: An extendable conveyor system with stationary and movable conveyor sections and a telescoping conveyor drive apparatus, and including a movement assembly configured to move the movable conveyor section with respect to the stationary conveyor section. The movement assembly may include teeth on one conveyor section and a teeth engaging apparatus on another conveyor section to move the movable conveyor section with respect to the stationary conveyor section. The teeth engaging apparatus may include a pin gear mounted on the second conveyor section and which has a plurality of pins positioned at radially spaced locations. A drive system may rotate the pin gear to thereby move the plurality of teeth and the first conveyor section in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to soft contact lenses having an overall comfort preference of at least about 2 to 1 as compared to an Acuvue® contact lens and measured after one week of daily wear. The present invention further relates to a soft contact lens comprising an oxygen transmissibility greater than about 70 barrers/mm and physical properties suitable to provide wearer comfort over at least about 9 hours in at least about 80% of wearers, as measured in a randomized, double masked clinical study.
