Title: Securing device for chains for use on flatbed truck
Inventor: FORTIN JACQUES
IPC: B60P7/06
Filed: 2005-12-31
Abstract: A securing device for chains used on flatbed trucks comprises an electric pneumatic system with a piston set partially inside a slit and which pushes the chain out. Instead of attaching the chain to a lever arm, the chain is passed through a loop attached to a small piece of chain, which in fact replaces where the lever arm would normally be. Once the chain is passed through the loop, it continues its course over to a slit at which point the user pulls on the chain and introduces the chain links into a slit in order to secure it tightly. In order to remove the links of the chain from the slit, a piston pushes the chain from the slit. The piston which is pneumatic hydraulic or electric is remotely actuated by an electric switch which can be situated in the trucks cabin so as to insure that no one is near the chain when it is released. The slit and piston arrangement are designed to fit into a single compact package.

Title: Method and apparatus for enhanced corneal accommodation
Inventor: MAROUS JAMES R
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2004-10-06
Abstract: A method and apparatus related to enhancing corneal accommodation to address the effect of presbyopia. Corneal/scleral topology measurements in accommodation and non-accommodating states are indicative of a presbyopic subject~s nominal corneal accommodative power. A desired accommodative power intended to improve on the effect of presbyopia can be determined, suggesting a selective biomechanical intervention in the corneal structure outside of the optical zone to create flexure regions. These flexure regions would allow enhanced corneal accommodation upon presentation of an accommodating stimulus.  Intervention could be in the form of, for example, corneal surface ablation, intrastromal ablation, conductive kerastoplasty (CK), laser thermal kerastoplasty (LTK), and corneal and/or scleral implants. An improved topology measuring apparatus having an improved field of view and other attributes is disclosed.
