Title: Method and contact lenses for treating presbyopia
IPC: A61F9/00
Filed: 1991-04-05
Abstract: A method of correcting or alleviating presbyopia in humans comprising (a) fitting a first contact lens to a first eye, and (b) fitting a second contact lens to the other eye. Each of the lenses has a first power provided by the shape, curvature and material of the lens to provide a refractive corrected image and a second power provided by diffractive means to provide a second corrected image, the second power being additive to (or subtracted from) the first power. The lenses are fitted so that one has a refractive near image optical power and the other has a refractive distance image optical power, and the diffractive means of the lenses are arranged so that the amount of the light directed into the near image by one lens is substantially greater than that directed into the far image by that lens, and the amount of light directed into the far image by the other lens is substantially greater than that directed into the near image by that other lens. In this way the wearer sees an image of relatively high intensity and retains a large amount of stereoscopic vision. <IMAGE>

Patent EP-0789476-A3 (EP)
Inventor: OH STEPHEN S
IPC: G10L21/0232
Filed: 1997-02-06
Abstract: A conditioning circuit for use with a microphone 224 placed near a loudspeaker 206
has microphone-in 225 and speaker-line 208 input terminals, an echo canceller circuit
(212, 216, 220, 222), a noise-suppresser circuit 230, and a synthesis filter 234 coupling
noise-suppresser circuit 230 to a microphone-out output terminal 236. Microphone-in
225 and speaker-line 108 input terminals respectively receive microphone and
speaker signals. The echo canceller circuit is coupled between microphone-in 225
and speaker-line 108 input terminals and produces a subband reduced-echo
microphone signal by (i) transforming the microphone signal into a subband
microphone signal and the speaker signal into a filtered subband speaker signal,
and (ii) subband subtracting the filtered subband speaker signal from the subband
microphone signal. Noise-suppresser circuit 230 is coupled to the echo canceller
circuit to produce a subband reduced-noise, reduced-echo microphone signal by
subband noise suppression of the subband reduced-echo microphone signal.
Synthesis filter 234 transforms the subband reduced-noise, reduced-echo
microphone signal into a fullband reduced-noise, reduced-echo microphone signal.
Because the subband signal is not restored to a fullband signal until after undergoing
both echo cancellation and noise reduction, my system requires less processing power
than systems that apply a synthesis filter between subband echo cancellation and noise
reduction. This system is useful in hands-free telephones, especially hands-free cellular
telephones used in automobiles. A circuit 538 for subband detection of near-end
speech in the microphone signal can be provided so echo cancellation filter coefficients
can be automatically frozen when near-end speech is detected.

Abstract: A time difference Δτ between the arrival of acoustic
signals from sound sources to microphones 1, 2 is detected from
output channel signals L, R from microphones 1, 2. By Fourier
transform, the signals L, R are divided into respective frequency
bands L(f1) - L(fn), R(f1) - R(fn). Differences Δτ i  ( i = 1,
2, ··· n ) in the time-of-arrival of L(f1) - L(fn) and R(f1) - R(fn)
to the microphones 1, 2 as well as a signal level difference ΔLi
are detected. L(f1) - L(fn), R(f1) - R(fn) are divided into
a low range of  fi < 1/(2Δτ) , a middle range of  1/(2Δτ)
< fi < 1/Δτ , and a high range of  fi > 1/Δτ . Utilizing
Δτ i  for the low range, ΔLi and Δτ i  for the middle range and
ΔLi for the high range, a determination is made from which sound
source L(fi), R(fi) are oncoming to deliver outputs separately
for each sound source. The outputs are subject to an inverse
Fourier transform for synthesis separately for each sound source.
