Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080235047Method and system for ordering customized cosmetic contact lenses - A method of configuring and ordering a customized contact lens for a user. The method includes the steps of displaying a template eye image to assist the user in visualizing selected options for a customized contact lens, and displaying a plurality of contact lens selection options to the user. The information includes a plurality of selectable lens colors and lens design patterns. The method also includes the steps of sending an ordering request to order a contact lens incorporating lens colors and lens design patterns selected by the user, receiving the ordering request, and manufacturing a contact lens incorporating the lens colors and lens design patterns selected by the user.09-25-2008

20100133068Device for Transporting and Shaking Blanks - A device for transporting and shaking blanks supported on pallets has a shaking station with a shaking table, a feeding conveyor upstream of the shaking station in a transport direction of the blanks, and a discharge conveyor downstream of the shaking station in the transport direction of the blanks. The feeding and discharge conveyors each have a liftable and lowerable transport frame and a drive. The transport frames are movable back and forth by the drive for transporting the pallets. The drives are adjustable to an identical intermittent transport distance and an intermittent transport distance in a ratio of 2:1. On the transport frame of the discharge conveyor a support is provided in an area adjacent to the shaking station. The support raises the discharge conveyor's receiving surface for the pallets and has a receiving surface aligned approximately with a table top of the shaking table.06-03-2010

20090145659METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FINAL STORAGE AND SAFE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS - In order to provide a method with apparatuses for safe final storage of highly radioactive waste products while safely coping with a reactor core melt, and final storage of the highly radioactive as well as slightly radioactive and medium-radioactive inventory when dismantling the nuclear power station itself in situ, it is proposed that a metal-shell drilled shaft composed of a casting be used as the final storage shaft at the nuclear power station location to which the material to be finally stored is supplied via a bomb-proof transport tunnel, which is hermetically isolated from the biosphere, from the reactor building or temporary stored by means of a magnetic sliding trans-port system for introduction to store, with filled final store sections migrating into the earth's mantel after separation from the remaining shaft, with residual heat being produced and under the influence of the force of gravity.06-11-2009
20100031653METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE UTILIZATION OF SUPERCRITICAL SUBSURFACE STEAM IN COMBINATION WITH SUPERCRITICAL THERMAL AND HYDRAULIC POWER STATIONS - Disclosed are a method and a device for utilizing supercritical subsurface steam as combined supercritical thermal and hydraulic power stations at an efficiency of 50 percent, using molten bath superdeep drilling technology, a hydrofrac process, and the special properties of the supercritical subsurface steam, such as the drastic increase in the thermal capacity, reduced viscosity, and inorganic solubility. The multifunctional use of said technologies and physical properties of supercritical subsurface steam in the inventive method allows a supercritical subsurface boiler to be tapped rapidly and at a low cost at a great depth while making it possible to produce electricity, power, process steam, and heat almost anywhere at one tenth of the cost of conventional fuel technologies and comparable expenses. The supercritical process steam obtained from a closed forced subsurface-nature circuit is used in supercritical power stations featuring state-of-the-art steam turbine technology while the remaining pressure in the subsurface fluid is used for directly generating power and/or electricity after dissipating heat via hydraulic turbines.02-11-2010
