A Method of Monitoring And/Or Dispensing Materials Onto A Substrate A dispensed bead (10) of material is disposed between a sensor pair (14) for monitoring the bead. The sensor pair (14) transmits a beam of light towards the bead of material. A signal is generated which corresponded to the amount of light received. By utilizing this signal, gaps or other discontinuities can be found. This signal c...

A case for receiving disk-type recording medium made of paper and has a receiving chamber in which the disk-type recording medium is stored, the receiving chamber having a pair of walls faced to each other and each having a shape of bellows, a stopper is formed at a part of the receiving chamber, its lids or bottom, so that the disk-type recording medium is held in valleys of the bellows and by th...

A contact lens colorant formulation containing a non-ionic polyalkylene oxide surfactant is applied to a dry hydrophilic contact lens by means of a silicon rubber printing pad to provide a cosmetically acceptable, solid, unblemished covering. This process allows for a solid covering to be placed onto the lens in a single printing step using standard transfer printing devices.

A torque limiting mechanism has two locking members (131, 137) designed to be incapable of transmitting drive between them but having meshing spiral teeth (132, 138). The members are in a rotatable frame (127) and are respectively driven by radially toothed gears (128, 124) having an idler gear (125) between them. One radially toothed gear (124) is splined (at 123) to a section of a drive shaft (1...

A method for shrink packaging bone-in food masses such as meat cuts is disclosed, A patch bag comprising a thin-walled heat shrinkable thermoplastic film bag and a thick-walled non-heat shrinkable thermoplastic film patch having its inner surface bonded to the bag outer surface is used. Both surfaces have high energy as the sole bonding means and the patch-bag bond strength increases during heat s...

Provided is a method for liquefying natural gas which can be readily adapted to LNG plants of all sizes without requiring expensive and special heat exchangers. The liquefaction of feed gas of natural gas and recycle natural gas is carried out with a single-component refrigerant or a mixed refrigerant in a high temperature stage, and with a substantially isentropic expansion in a low temperature s...

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of polycarbonates in which an oil-in-water emulsion is maintained throughout by carrying out the reaction under special conditions.
