Abstract: An LED with improved current spreading structures that provide enhanced current injection into the LED's active layer (14), improving its power and luminous flux. The current spreading structures can be used in LEDs larger than conventional LEDs while maintaining the enhanced current injection. The invention is particularly applicable to LEDs having insulating substrates (12) but can also reduce the series resistance of LEDs having conductive substrates. The improved structures comprise conductive fingers (20a, 20b, 22) that form cooperating conductive paths that ensure that current spreads from the contacts (19, 21), into the fingers (20a, 20b, 22) and uniformly spreads through the oppositely doped layers (15, 16). The current then spreads to the active layer (14) to uniformly inject electrons and holes throughout the active layer (14), which recombine to emit light.

Abstract: A high efficiency method for atomizing a liquid fuel. A liquid fuel is caused to flow into and through a pre-atomization chamber. A first portion of a pressurized atomizing fluid is introduced into the liquid fuel flowing through the chamber so as to at least partially atomize the fuel and provide a first admixture containing atomized fuel and atomizing fluid. The first admixture is delivered from the chamber and caused to flow into and through a first elongated port in an atomizing tip connected to the chamber. A second portion of pressurized atomizing fluid is directed into and caused to flow through a second elongated port in the tip. The first admixture from the first port is introduced into the second port and caused to become intimately intermixed with the second portion of pressurized atomizing fluid so as to further atomize the fuel and provide a second admixture comprising atomized fuel and atomizing fluid. The second admixture is then discharged from the tip as a fully atomized fuel and fluid mixture.

Abstract: An antenna pointing system automatically aligns an antenna with a geo-synchronous satellite using a Ku band signal, which has a relatively broad bandwidth, with sufficient accuracy for Ka band signal transmission, which has a relatively narrow bandwidth. Initially, the antenna is pointed at the selected satellite so as to receive the Ku band signal. The system obtains a series of signal strength readings over a predetermined azimuth (or elevation) region, such as plus/minus two degrees, from which a new peak location is selected. Signal strength data is then obtained over a predetermined elevation (or azimuth) region. Another signal peak location is selected based on the elevation data. Azimuth and elevation data are alternately collected for refining the peak of the Ku signal so as to optimize Ka signal transmission capability.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for correcting vision, including a corneal-pocket keratome device tocreate a corneal pocket and a lens to be inserted and retained in the corneal pocket to effect correction. The corneal-pocket keratome includes a drive unit having cutting head elements which contact the subject eye during corneal pocket formation. The cutting head elements may be removable and may be disposable. The cutting head elements include a corneal restraint device, which may be a positioning ring to position an eyeball with the cornea protruding through the ring; a keratome blade assembly with a corneal-pocket blade; and may also include an applanation shoe surface to restrain the cornea, in addition or instead of the positioning ring. The applanation shoe may be pivotable away from the surgical area. The corneal-pocket blade may include a guide which travels with the blade. The blade assembly oscillates laterally while extending forward into the cornea to form the pocket, and the amplitude of the lateral oscillation is preferably increased as the blade goes beyond an opening incision into the cornea. Lenses for this invention preferably include a feature to impede accidental lens movement after the lens is disposed within the corneal pocket, which may be a swelling after insertion or a circumferential irregularity. Lenses may be of Fresnel or non-Fresnel type, and may employ annular changes in the index of refraction of the lens material, as well as changes in refractive shape which may be annular or not, to effect variations in focallength for relieving presbyopia, astigmatism, and combinations of those as well as myopia and hyperopia. Drive control and vacuum for the positioning ring are provided under user command by a control unit having user inputs.
