Latest Patents
Nielsen holds a patent for a "Method of controlling the diameter of a clear extruded tube." This invention involves a method and apparatus designed to control the diameter of a clear extruded molten tube. The extruded tube contains a volume of clear liquid, and the level of this liquid is indicative of the tube's diameter. As the tube diameter decreases, the liquid level rises. A light beam passing through the tube is refracted from a straight line path when the liquid level rises above the level of the beam. This refraction triggers the introduction of air into the extruded tube, thereby increasing the diameter of the molten tube.
