Patent number: 6869549Abstract: This invention provides a method and a mold for improving the release of a molded ophthalmic device from a mold. The method comprises the steps of: providing a first mold half and second mold half each having opposing top surfaces at least one of which has been hollowed out to define a cavity for forming said ophthalmic device and at least said first mold half further defining a boundary for a release element, said boundary is part of said cavity, said release element comprising a ramped surface, said cavity having a corresponding ramped surface, and said release element having its widest part near the top surface of said at least said first mold half that defines said release element therein. The mold of this invention has a hollowed-out portion as part of the cavity to provide a release element to the molded ophthalmic device.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2002Date of Patent: March 22, 2005Assignee: Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.Inventors: Scott Frederick Ansell, Michael W. Litwin, Gregory L. Berckmiller, Timothy P. Freeman, Richard J. Fox, Robert B. Phillips, Thomas R. Daniels, Richard F. Barbas, Gerald R. Krebsbach

Patent number: 6752581Abstract: This invention relates to a device for removing and transporting articles, such as ophthalmic lens mold sections, or packaging elements from a mold. The invention, in one embodiment includes first, second, and third assemblies; the first of which removes the articles from the molding station at a first location and transports them to a second location; the second assembly receives the articles from the first assembly and transports them to a third location, and the third assembly receives the articles from the second assembly and transports them to a fourth location. A second embodiment includes a flipper assembly disposed between the first and second assemblies, which flipper receives the articles from the first assembly and inverts them before depositing them onto the second assembly. This second embodiment is useful in conjunction with molded articles which are transported to the flipper assembly in an inverted position.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 1997Date of Patent: June 22, 2004Assignee: Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.Inventors: Victor Lust, Stephen Robert Beaton, Scott Frederick Ansell, Henri Armand Dagobert, Phillip King Parnell, Sr., Craig William Walker, Daniel Tsu-Fang Wang

Patent number: 6516871Abstract: The thermal performance of the heat transfer element assemblies for rotary regenerative air preheaters is enhanced to provide a desired level of heat transfer and pressure drop with a reduced weight. The heat transfer plates in the assemblies have spaced apart dimples for maintaining plate spacing and oblique undulations with the undulations on adjacent plates preferably extending at opposite oblique angles. The dimples may be on every other plate and alternate between the two sides of the plates or they may be on every plate and all extend to the same side.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 1999Date of Patent: February 11, 2003Assignee: Alstom (Switzerland) Ltd.Inventors: Gary Foster Brown, Michael Ming-Ming Chen, Wayne S.

Patent number: 6147580Abstract: An improved low voltage winding for dry insulated transformer has its windings resin encapsulated. The winding is constructed with flexible sheet conductors wound coincident with an insulating sheet material. Insulating spacers provide a means to form air channels in the windings during the coil forming process. A sealant is applied to openings at the lower ends and along vertical seams of the coil prior to the resin impregnation and encapsulation process. This will prevent drainage of the resin during a curing cycle. The result is a coil that exhibits high short circuit protection due to the tightly bond sheet conductors which will prevent movement of the conductors during short circuit conditions and also increases the radial compressive strength of the coil.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1998Date of Patent: November 14, 2000Assignee: Square D CompanyInventors: Richard Raymond Rettew, Scott Frederick Lett, Philip John Hopkinson
