Abstract: A phantom cornea for calibrating surgical lasers is formed by superimposition of thin-films of alternating colors. After ablation by a laser beam, the resulting spherical cavity appears as a pattern of nested circles whose concentricity and spacing reflect the alignment and intensity of the laser beam. These patterns can be visually or instrumentally analyzed to determine the proper setting of the laser. A monolayer or multi-layer thin film is used to determine, not only the ablative power of a laser beam, but also the variation of the ablative power over the full breadth of the beam by observing the area impinged by the beam between successive laser pulses. The calibration cornea can be planar, or arcuate to mimic the natural cornea. The calibration cornea may be mounted in a phantom eyeball including a removable iris of small diameter which constitutes a convenient target for the alignment of the laser beam.

Abstract: A trocar system for assisting in the generation of endosurgical ports is disclosed in which a trocar facilitator is used to place the peritoneum in counter-traction to facilitate the penetration of the trocar. Peritoneal counter-traction results in increased surface tension which reduces the force and downward momentum necessary to achieve trocar penetration, thereby eliminating the risk of excess penetration and injury to internal organs. The facilitator is of a corkscrew-like design, with an attached support ring and a removable guide piece having a hollow, cylindrical passageway which aids in the insertion and support of the trocar, cannula, and other endoscopic surgical instruments. In another embodiment, the facilitator is configured to aid in the introduction of carbon dioxide gas into the abdominal cavity of the patient. An improved curved tip of the blade of the trocar facilitator is also disclosed.

Abstract: This invention teaches rechargeable manganese dioxide cells having alkaline electrolytes, zinc negative electrodes and manganese dioxide positive electrodes. In keeping with the present invention, the positive electrode is essentially unconstrained-that is, no cage is used in the cell to confine the positive electrode. During discharge of a rechargeable alkaline cell, the positive electrode may be inclined to swell, and during the charge cycle it may be inclined to contract or reduce its dimensions. However, the positive electrode is dimensioned so as to substantially fill the entire space allotted for it within the cell, while allowing for a slight accommodation for height-wise or longitudinal expansion or growth in bobbin cells. The positive electrode may include additives such as carbon or graphite to increase its electrical conductivity; hydrophobic agents such as PTFE, polyethylene or polypropylene to enhance the hydrogen permeability of the positive electrode and thereby lead to increased hydrogen recombination rates; and similar hydrophobic agents as well as hydrophillic additives to serve as lubricants and to reduce tool wear during manufacturing processes. Also, the discharge capacity of the negative electrode may be established so as to be in the range of from about 60% to about 120% of the theoretical one electron discharge capacity of the positive MnO2 electrode.

Abstract: The adapter member for a microscope cooperates with a universal microscope drape having a universal positioning member. The adapter member is detachably secured to the lens housing of a microscope in tandem with a lens unit located in the lens housing. The adapter member is free from connection with the lens unit and can be installed without disassembling the lens housing. In one embodiment of the invention, the adapter member is threaded to the lens housing and in another embodiment of the invention the adapter member is secured to the lens housing with set screws. The adapter member has a universal engagement portion that is engagable with the universal positioning member of the universal microscope drape. A different adapter member is provided for each differently manufactured microscope but each different adapter member has the same universal engagement portion. Thus the same microscope drape can be used to cover differently manufactured microscopes of the same general size and shape.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of amplifying and detecting single or double stranded target nucleic acid molecules. Amplification of the target nucleic acid molecule is accomplished by using at least two chemically modified oligonucleotide probes per target nucleic acid molecule to form a joined oligonucleotide product. Each oligonucleotide probe is comprised of a long and short sequence. The long sequence of each probe hybridizes to adjacent regions of the target nucleic acid molecule. The short sequences of each probe hybridize to each other. Chemical functionality groups attached to the short sequences of each oligonucleotide probe covalently combine linking the probes to form a joined oligonucleotide product. The joined oligonucleotide product is formed without the use of enzymes. The reactivity of the chemical functionality groups on each probe is target dependent. The chemical functionality group on each probe is prevented from reacting with other chemical functionality groups on other probes unless the probes are properly hybridized to the target molecule and to each other, as described above. The chemical functionality groups are covalently attached to the short sequence of each probe in such a way that they are sheltered or protected from the chemical functionality groups of other probes while the probes are in solution. Only when the short sequences of adjacent probes are hybridized to each other are the chemical functionality groups on the probes brought into close enough proximity to form a covalent bond and join the probes to form a joined oligonucleotide product.

The receivers (18) receive reference signals via respective relays from a common source (22). The unknown signal and reference signal received by each receiver (18) are processed coherently to preserve their timing and phase information relative to one another independently of signals received elsewhere. The signals are frequency downconverted and digitised, and transferred to a common processing computer (150). The computer (150) performs cross ambiguity function processing of the reference signals to determine their relative Differential Time Offset (DTO) and Differential Frequency Offset (DFO). It performs the like for the received unknown signals to determine relative DTO and DFO, relative time and frequency shifts being introduced between the unknown signals by incorporation of the reference signal DTO and DFO in order to enable the unknown signal DFO to be determined relative to the reference signal DFO. The reference signals are also employed to counteract phase noise and frequency drift effects in the unknown signals. From the unknown signal DTO and DFO the position of the unknown source (10) is calculated.
