A feed mechanism for a photocopy or similar machine directs the media, particularly wide-format media, into a receiving tray along a path which is substantially parallel to, but in the opposite direction of, the original media path. This allows for the removal of media from the front of the photocopy machine. With the drive mechanism in a first configuration, the leading edge of the media is fed d...

An apparatus is disclosed for use with a device for processing a crystal having crystallographic axes and crystallographic facets on its surface. A light beam is supplied towards the facets where the light beam has a selected spatial relationship to the device. The directions of reflections of the light beam from the facets are detected to determine the spatial relationship between one crystallogr...

A method for the interseparation of platinum-group noble metals (PGMs) from a gold-free halide solution using at least one chromatographic column. The solution is passed through a column containing a solid absorbent having a Kd above 1 whereby the PGMs are absorbed. The loaded absorbent is eluted by a halide salt solution obtaining thereby well-spaced fractions, each containing only one single nob...

A display and keyboard panel for an electronic device such as a handheld or desktop calculator, the panel having a keyboard area and an indication area located in the vicinity of the keyboard area. The indication area has a plurality of key sections each having at least two component areas each for indicating a single piece of information. Each of the key sections is typically formed by a touch se...

In the method and apparatus, optimum correlation between measured and known values of transmittance or reflectance determines the property or identity of a sample. Three or more discrete radiation components can be selected which are transmitted or reflected by relatively different amounts due to interference, absorption or scatter, thereby enabling fewer radiation components to be used to provide...

PURPOSE:To readily remove a large amount of (in)active sulfur content in high efficiency, by mixing alcohol-impregnated active China clay into an oil obtained by removing solid content and water from waste oil and removing said China clay. CONSTITUTION:A waste oil 10 in storage tank 1 is fed to heating tank 2, heated to about 80 deg.C with steam 12, divided into sludge 4 and separated liquid 5 wit...

Method and apparatus of irradiating a treatment area within a body includes introducing elongated flexible radiation transfer conduit(fibero ptic arrays) into the body cavity with the distal end thereof operatively opposite the treatment area. At the other end of the conduit there is photoelectrically sensed a particular optical characteristic of the treatment area (such as fluorescence) and as lo...

The diamond-clad machining tool of the invention is prepared by the steps of (a) forming a film (2) of diamond of 10 to 1000 mu m thickness by the method of vapor-phase deposition on the surface of a temporary substrate (1) of, e.g., silicon, (b) bonding the diamond film as borne by the temporary substrate to the surface of a base body of the tool (3) by brazing (4) and (c) removing the temporary...

The speculum includes a first top blade and second lower blade, the blades moveable in relation to one another via a rear hinge portion, as with a normal speculum. The lower blade of the speculum is further provided with a liquid evacuator tube extending along the interior of the speculum with an open protruding from the front of the blade for evacuating fluid from the patient during the laser sur...

A hollow fiber microporous membrane of a polyolefin having a polyvinyl alcohol chemically bonded to the inner and outer surfaces of the hollow fiber membrane and the surfaces defining the pores thereof exhibits a good hydrophilic property as well as good chemical resistance, mechanical strength, water permeation performance and durability.
