Title: Composite intraocular lens and method of manufacture
Inventor: VANDERBILT DAVID PAUL
IPC: A61L27/16
Filed: 1991-12-24
Granted: 1994-06-02
Abstract: The new intraocular lens of the present invention is a one-piece composite lens having a soft, foldable central optic region and a hard, non-foldable outer peripheral region making up the haptics or legs of the intraocular lens. The soft, central optic portion of the lens is typically manufactured from a material capable of being folded so that the intraocular lens can be inserted through a small incision on the order of 3 to 4 mm. The hard haptic portion of the lens provides support for the lens in the eye after insertion and unfolding of the lens. The relatively rigid plastic lends support to the entire lens structure after its insertion into the posterior chamber of the eye, and tends to help stabilize the position of the lens after insertion and the closure of the incision. A preferred material of the soft optical region being a poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) or pHEMA or a copolymer thereof such as HEMA and 6-hydroxyhexyl methacrylate (HOHEXMA) or p(HEMA-co-HOHEXMA). The preferred material of the hard haptic region being made from a relatively hard plastic, such as (polymethyl methacrylate) or PMMA, or a copolymer thereof.

Title: Multi-dimensional data processing and display
Inventor: HUTSON WILLIAM H
IPC: G01S15/88
Filed: 1991-12-13
Granted: 1994-06-30
Abstract: A multi-dimensional processing and display system is used with a sonar tracking system to monitor ocean-going vessels. The system arranges data in a three-dimensional matrix, which is then reformatted into a two-dimensional matrix. The two-dimensional matrix is decomposed into singular vectors and singular values. Certain data elements in the two-dimensional matrix are enhanced or diminished by modifying selected angular values. A history database is maintained by saving certain of the singular vectors, which is concatenated with the two-dimensional matrix. An enhanced two-dimensional matrix is generated by multiplying the two-dimensional concatenated matrix by the modified singular values and the singular vectors. After data enhancement, the two-dimensional enhanced matrix is reformatted back into a three-dimensional matrix. All or portions of the enhanced three-dimensional matrix can then be displayed.

Title: Horizontal deflection linearisation system for wide angle CRT - uses combined choke and time constant linearisation for different half periods of deflection
IPC: H04N3/237
Filed: 1971-01-28
Abstract: A horizontal deflection circuit for a wide-deflection cathode ray tube, with a nearly flat face, with a premagnetised choke in series with the deflecting coils to linearise the writing speed of the beam. The choke (Dr2) is so dimensioned that it functions as a variable impedance only during the first-half-period of the deflection, and is inoperative during the second half-period because of saturation of the ferromagnetic core (2), the time constant of the deflection circuit is so adjusted in respect of the tangential error by the ohmic resistance in the circuit that the variting speed is linearised during the second half-period. The choke (Dr2) is preferably wound on a ferrite core (2) in the form of a coil (1) with its windings paralleled to reduce the resistance to a minimum, the normal permanent magnets (3, 4) are applied to the ends of the core.

Title: Cable insulation stripper - has U-shaped body and knife support with ratchet lock and knife cutting hand-drawn cable
IPC: H02G1/12
Filed: 1971-08-05
Abstract: The cable insulation stripper consists of a U-shaped main body, through which the cable passes, and a knife support passing orthogonally through one of the arms and holding the stripping knife against the cable's insulation. The knife support has asymmetric teeth along one of its sides. A latch arm is pivoted by a helical spring so that its end engages in the teeth and, because of the shape of the teeth, prevents the knife support moving away from the cable once it has been pressed down onto it. The cable can then be drawn by hand through the stripper and its insulating outer sleeve cut to the required depth.

IPC: B23C3/06
Filed: 1979-04-18
Abstract: The present crankshaft milling machine comprises at least one milling unit which may be controlled in its feed advance drive by a copying mechanism operating in synchronism with the rotation of the work piece. The copying mechanism is movable back and forth along a guide extending in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the work piece along a guide. The guide for the copying mechanism defines a plane which extends substantially vertically on one side of the work piece or crankshaft and in parallel to the crankshaft axis. Each milling unit is tiltably supported on a tilting axis located below the work piece axis and extending in parallel to the work piece axis. The feed advance drive is arranged on the side of the tilting axis facing away from the work piece. The feed advance drive reaches over the work piece, whereby a closed force flow around the work piece is established and the milling forces need not be introduced into the machine bed.

Abstract: A resilient plastic web (30) exhibiting a fiber-like appearance and tactile impression and method and apparatus for its manufacture. In a preferred embodiment the web (30) exhibits a three-dimensional microstructure comprising a regulated continuum of debossed areas of non-uniform cross-section along their length. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the debossed arreas comprise capillary networks (31, 32, 33) interconnecting the first and second surfaces of the web (30) said networks being of decreasing size in the direction of said second surface to promote fluid transport from the first surface of the web (30) to the second surface and inhibit the flow of luid in the reverse direction. Forming surfaces utilized to produce said webs (30) are constructed by laminating a multiplicity of thin plates (130, 131, 132, 133, 124) having dissimilar patterns of apertures therein to form an integral structure exhibiting properties and characteristics unachievable by prior art machining and weaving techniques. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the individual lamina from which the laminate forming structure is comprised are produced utilizing photoetching techniques, thus making it feasible to produce nearly any desired level of intricacy in, the resultant laminate structure. Preferred means for interconnecting said laminate structures with one another without disrupting the three-dimensional pattern in the area of joinder are also disclosed.

IPC: F16D65/28
Filed: 1976-05-27
Abstract: A brake actuator for a vehicle having air brakes is disclosed in which air pressure is expelled through the actuator upon release of the brakes in order to purge the latter of contaminants.  The actuator includes a housing in which a piston reciprocates.  Fluid pressure is admitted to the chamber defined between one side of the piston and the corresponding end of the housing in order to urge the latter in a brake actuating direction. The piston includes a passage extending therethrough to connect the chambers defined between opposite sides of the piston and the corresponding ends of the housing, and a shuttle valve carried within the passage in order to close the passage upon brake application and open the passage to permit fluid communication between the chambers upon brake release.  An articulated guide rod is pivotally mounted on the end wall of the housing and extends into the piston to guide the shuttle valve during operation of the actuator.
