Abstract: A lens having a refractive power arising from the shape, curvature and material of the lens, and a diffractive power, the diffractive power being produced by a diffractive means with steps formed by cutting one of the surfaces of the lens with a diamond tool, characterised in that the lens is a single vision rigid gas permeable lens in which the power of the lens is determined by a combination of the refractive power and the diffractive power, the steps of the diffractive means have a gradient steeper than 45%, and the diffractive means is one in which the step heights when multiplied by the refractive index difference between the lens material and the tear film provide an optical path difference substantially equivalent to one wavelength of light close to the centre of the human visual response or some integral multiple thereof. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A dockable computer system includes a portable computer (notebook or laptop) and a docking station (base unit). The portable computer and docking station both include a communication system so that messages can be communicated when the docking station is in an undocked state preparatory to a docked state. The communication system is preferably an infrared communication system. A communication protocol is also provided for generating an advance notice signal to warn of an impending dock. The communication protocol includes a CONNECT message, a CONNECT DETECTED message, and a CONFIRM message. Preferably, the CONNECT message is sent at a non-standard AT/PC baud rate. The communication system allows the dockable computer system to advantageously generate an advance notice signal of an impending dock and to transfer parameters necessary for the employment of sophisticated protective measures which protect the active buses of the portable computer and docking station during a docking event. Preferably, the portable computer performs an interrupt subroutine in response to receiving the CONNECT message. The notice signal is generated as part of the interrupt subroutine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The transmission consists of drive (13) and receiving (14) assemblies with at least one drive arm (17) connected to them, and a release (23). The release incorporates a release (24) which acts directly or indirectly on the drive arm, extracting it from its socket (19) in the receiving assembly. The release is controlled by a lever (36) connected to one of the assemblies (13,14) by a first pivot, and is guided as it rotates about an axis (25) parallel to or in line with the transmission axis. In the event of the lever (36) encountering an obstacle (10) during the rotation of the transmission it turns about the pivot (37) and causes the release to turn about axis (25) from its first position to its second position.

Abstract: A medical connector is for use in transferring fluids to and from a patient. The connector has a primary conduit, which has an upstream branch in fluid communication with a primary source of fluid and a downstream branch in fluid communication with a patient. The connector also has a secondary conduit in fluid communication with said primary conduit. Additionally, the connector has a hollow, resilient valve positioned such that the primary fluid can flow through the valve when the valve is in a decompressed state. The valve has a tab extending into the secondary conduit such that a luer inserted in the secondary conduit compresses the tab, thereby preventing flow of the primary fluid through the connector while permitting both flow of fluid to the patient from the luer and flow of fluid from the patient to the luer.

Abstract: In a method for real time speech input of a destination address into a navigation system, the speech statements that are entered by a user are recognized by a speech recognition device and classified in accordance with their recognition probability. The speech statement with the greatest recognition probability is identified as the input speech statement, with at least one speech statement being an admissible speech command that activates the operating functions of the navigation system associated with this speech command. (All the admissible speech statements being stored in at least one database.) According to the invention, at least one operating function of the navigation system comprises an input dialogue. Following activation of that operating function, depending on the input dialogue, at least one lexicon is generated in real time from the admissible speech statements stored in at least one database, and the generated lexicon is loaded as vocabulary into the speech recognition device.
