Abstract: Phakic refractive lens (PRL) for correcting myopia or hyperopia are disclosed. The lens is implanted in the posterior chamber of the eye, with no permanent point of fixation, such that it floats between the patient's iris and natural lens. The lens corrects refractive errors in the eye, while maintaining the fluid dynamics of the eye and not causing stress or damage to eye structures. The lenses are made from a flexible material (such as those having a hardness of from about 20 to about 50 Shore A), having a specific gravity of from about 0.9 to about 1.2 g/cm<3>, and have a mass per unit area of from about 0.03 to about 0.30 mg/mm<2>. The method for using those lenses and surgical kits including those lenses are also disclosed.

Abstract: An optical arrangement of the Michelson interferometer type having a measuring arm for measuring optical properties of at least two mutually spaced regions in an optically transparent and/or diffusive object. A reference arm has a path length variation unit which generates a periodic change in path length for the radiation in the reference arm. Arranged in the measuring arm upstream of the object is a detour unit. The detour unit imparts a detour which is larger than at least one second measuring beam into at least one measuring beam. The detour unit selects a detour to be equal to a distance between regions to be measured in the object. Using the optical arrangement the object is irradiated with the aid of a number of measuring beams corresponding to the number of regions. In each case two measuring beams have an optical path difference which corresponds to a geometrical distance between two regions. Each reflection beam of the measuring beams which is reflected by one of the regions is superimposed in an interfering fashion with a third beam having a temporal variation in path length, and is detected. This arrangement can carry out "in-vivo" measurements of distances, thicknesses, at and/or in the human eye with the minimization of measuring errors within a sub-second time. The object does not have to be fixed during the measurement.

Abstract: The control unit sets up the center and an insensitive zone of a zoom
seesaw switch (18) provided in a drive unit (12) of an ENG lens (1) by an
electrical processing. The control unit is capable of dispensing with a
mechanical adjustment of the center and the insensitive zone of the zoom seesaw
switch (18) in assembling the product, and the assembly of the product is thus
simplified. On turning on a center setting switch (48) while the zoom seesaw
switch (18) is released from the operation, an operational position of the zoom
seesaw switch (18) at that time is accurately set as the center that brings the
moving rapidity of the zoom lens (42) to zero. On setting an insensitive zone
size by an insensitive zone setup device (52), the moving rapidity of the zoom
lens (42) becomes zero whenever the operational position of the zoom seesaw
switch (18) is within the insensitive zone. Any of these settings is carried out
by a processing of a CPU (34).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an accelerator-gel additive used to deliver an accelerator such as sulfur, into a system for the production of polymer modifed asphalt, vulcanized rubber or similar system. Unlike conventional methods of delivering accelerator into the system, the accelerator-gel additive suspends the accelerator in a gel system thereby preventing the sedimentation of the accelerator during processing. As a result, the polymer and asphalt are processed at lower temperature reducing the production of toxic and flammable gases such as hydrogen sulfide.
