| 20110120218 | Hand-Held Detection Device for Determining the Height of a Material in a Container and Methods of Use - According to an aspect of the invention, a hand-held detection device for determining the height of a material in a rigid-walled container from the outside of the container without accessing the interior of the container comprises: (a) means for detecting, through the wall of the container, the presence or absence of the material inside the container adjacent to the detector; (b) means for generating a first output corresponding to the presence or absence of the material inside the container adjacent to the detector, whereby the location of the surface level of the material inside the container can be determined through the wall of the container by moving the device and observing the first output; (c) means for measuring the vertical distance between the surface level of the material and a reference point associated with the container; (d) means for generating a second output corresponding to the vertical distance between the surface level of the material and the reference point; and (e) a power storage source. According to another aspect of the invention, a method for determining the height of a material in a container comprises the steps of: (a) providing the hand-held detection device; (b) positioning the detection device on the outside of the container adjacent to the surface level of the material; and (c) determining the height of the material contained in the container by using the second output. According to a further aspect of the invention, a method for calculating the volume of a material in a container is provided. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20110062607 | METHODS, DEVICES, AND SYSTEMS FOR MOVING WET OPHTHALMIC LENSES DURING THEIR MANUFACTURE - Methods, devices, and systems for moving wet ophthalmic lenses are described in which the ophthalmic lenses are first placed in wells of lens carriers and are centered by the structure of the wells. The carriers are then moved to a transfer module of a packaging system for transferring the ophthalmic lenses in blister packages. The transfer from the carriers to the blister packages are performed by a pick and place robot having pickup heads sized and configured for suctioning the ophthalmic lenses from the lens carriers. | 03-17-2011 |

| 20080280267 | CHILD'S ENTERTAINMENT AND EDUCATIONAL TOY - An educational toy for use during the routine activity of grocery shopping is provided. The educational toy includes a tote provided with handles to enable it to be carried by a user, the tote having a front portion and a back portion. The tote has a releasable closure means to hold the back and front portions together in a closed position, the closure means in an open position allowing the tote to open similar to a book to reveal at least one pocket on one side in the interior for holding individual items and at least one pocket on the other side for also holding items. The educational toy further includes a plurality of cards having pictures of grocery items thereon. The one side of the interior of the tote is provided with a plurality of individual pockets to hold the cards having pictures of grocery items thereon, the other side has a pocket with a representation of a grocery shopping cart thereon. The cards representing the items on a shopping list in the individual pockets on the one side are removable from the individual pocket on the one side for placement in the pocket with the representation of the grocery cart on the other side thereby imitating grocery shopping. | 11-13-2008 |

| 20080296896 | Stirling Engine Instability Detection and Prevention - A Stirling engine includes a reciprocating piston which drives an alternator to provide an electrical output. The current signal is measured by a current monitor and a fast Fourier Transform value is produced. The FFT of the current signal has been found to be directly related to the stability of operation of the Stirling engine. As harmonic peaks in the FFT increase, this indicates that the stroke length of the piston is approaching or exceeding a safe maximum. Correction action, such as a reduction in heat to the Stirling engine, can be taken in consequence. | 12-04-2008 |
