  • Publication number: 20030072160
    Abstract: The reflector for a light, which has a high-pressure gas discharge lamp, has an adherent polymeric coating extending over at least a portion of its outer surface. This polymeric coating contains at least one fluoro-polymer. The coating thickness is from 5 &mgr;m to 200 &mgr;m. A method of making the polymeric coating on the outer surface of the reflector includes powder coating the outer surface of the reflector with the at least one fluoro-polymer and subsequently heat after-treating the reflector with the powder coated outer surface. Alternatively the reflector is coated in a dipping or spraying process and then thermally after-treated. The coated reflector can be used in a headlight or an optical device for projecting data.

  • Publication number: 20030040755
    Abstract: A device for inserting a lens into an eye has a grip body (1) with a lens holder (13) for holding the lens, and a plunger (2) which can be displaced in the grip body (1) for guided insertion of the lens into the eye. A ball-bearing bush (3) is arranged in the grip body (1), the plunger (2) being mounted so as to be laterally displaceable in this ball-bearing bush (3). This allows the device to be operated using one hand, said device additionally having good slide properties and permitting an at all times guided lateral or rotational movement of the plunger.

  • Publication number: 20030026901
    Abstract: In the method for coating substrates the substrates are placed in recesses in a glass-ceramic plate or plates arranged over infrared high-temperature radiators with the surfaces to be coated on the radiators. The substrates are heated from below to the process temperature required for the coating. Subsequently the substrates are removed from the heating device, introduced into a coating chamber and coated. The preheating device for the substrates has two glass-ceramic plates that are placed loosely on top of each other and infrared high-temperature radiators. Substrate receptacles are provided in the glass-ceramic plates by approximately coincident recesses of different size in the plates so that the substrates can be held in close proximately to the radiators during the preheating.

  • Patent number: 4233869
    Abstract: An apparatus for the longitudinal cutting of webs of material into individual strips has a plurality of cutter pairs consisting of a lower cutter and an upper cutter and disposed side by side. The spreading of the material on its width and the spreading apart of the strips of material after cutting is brought about solely by the mounting of the cutter pairs in an arc along the direction perpendicular to the direction of travel of the web and by the tilting movement of the cutter pairs into the plane of movement of the web of material.

  • Patent number: 4180314
    Abstract: The apparatus includes an image field limiting frame and at least one movable mask for the purpose of varying picture size in a line parallel to the direction of film travel and means to control film transport steps proportional to the picture window left open by the mask. It also includes means to directly transport the film in either the forward or reverse direction during picture size adjustment so that the forward edge of the film matches the forward edge of the picture window. In this manner, it is possible to execute picture size changes at anytime, even after operation of the film transport, without waste of film or overlap of sequential pictures.

  • Patent number: 4057148
    Abstract: An improved multiple sample handling system, including a fully machine-compatible multiple sample support assembly, sample vortexing apparatus, and sample radioactivity sensing apparatus, is disclosed which enables performance of a complete radioimmunoassay or competitive binding procedure on the samples in the support assembly, generally without the need to remove and handle individual samples, and which greatly increases processing speed and error avoidance. The support assembly includes an apertured tray and sample retainers cooperating therewith and supporting the sample tubes by radially inwardly acting gripping portions. The retainers fit loosely within the tray apertures, but displacement control means are defined on the retainers and tray permitting the retainers together with tubes to smoothly move angularly relative to the tray within a small predetermined solid angle. The assembly with tubes is self-supporting upon the tubes for storage and optionally during sample operation.

  • Patent number: 4055396
    Abstract: A tray and carrier assembly which is adapted to simultaneously handle a plurality of open ended receptacles such as test tubes or the like. The tray includes a member having the underside thereof removably engaged by a support. Subtending the support in spaced relation and connected thereto is a base member. The tray member is provided with a plurality of openings in which are loosely disposed retainer elements which frictionally engage the open ends of the receptacles whereby the remainder of the receptacles depend freely from the tray member when the latter is assembled on the support. The tray member and the support are provided with complementary interfitting means which coact so as to require the tray member to assume a predetermined relative position when assembled on the support.
