Patent CA-2731811-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NEAL DANIEL R
IPC: A61B3/103
Filed: 2009-04-06
Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods that facilitate optical analysis, particularly for the diagnosis and treatment of refractive errors of the eye. Embodiments of the invention may facilitate the use of multi-modal diagnostic instruments and instrument systems, making it easier to acquire and fuse data from different measurements of the eye. For example, wavefront aberrometry may be fused with corneal topography, optical coherence topography and wavefront, optical coherence topography and topography, pachymetry and wavefront, etc. While some of these different optical datasets may be obtained simultaneously, it is often difficult and/or disadvantageous to attempt to acquire the images or other data at exactly the same time. Advantageously, both patient movement between measurements (and/or during a measurement sequence) can be identified, as well as changes in the eye itself (including those induced by the measurement, such as changes in the size of the pupil, changes in pupil location, etc.).

Abstract: A universal platform for utility computing that allows service providers to charge clients for the services rendered according to a dimensionless cross-platform universal metric. The platform mea-sures or monitors six metrics commonly used in software computing (MHz for CPU usage, Mbytes for memory usage, Kbytes/sec for I/O, Kbytes/sec for LAN, Kbits/sec for WAN and Gbytes for storage) and applies appropriate weighting and conversion factors to each consump-tion value to a value in the universal metric that can be applied agnosti-cally to any system or application. The metric can also take other con-trollable variables into account, such as real estate cost, tax jurisdiction and electrical power. The metric effectively a metric makes diverse computing resources comparable. The total value of the resources con-sumed by a user determines the cost charged for the use of the comput-ing services.

Abstract: Les messages transmis entre un récepteur et un émetteur sont utilisés pour optimiser le débit de transmission des données. En particulier, un système de modulation multiporteur utilise les messages transmis du récepteur à l'émetteur pour échanger au moins une série de paramètres de communication optimisés. L'émetteur enregistre alors ces paramètres de communication optimisés et lorsque des données sont transmises au récepteur donné, l'émetteur utilise les paramètres enregistrés afin d'optimiser le débit de données au récepteur. De la même manière, lorsque le récepteur reçoit les paquets de l'émetteur donné, le récepteur peut utiliser les paramètres de communication enregistrés pour la réception.

Title: Article and method of manufacturing related to nanocomposite overlays
Inventor: SHERMAN ANDREW J
IPC: B05D1/02
Filed: 2010-05-21
Abstract: Composite layers are formed on substrates, particularly heat sensitive substrates. A uniform composite mixture is prepared from powdered nanoscale ceramic phase particulates and a particulate matrix phase precursor that contains a fusible matrix former. The composite mix-ture is applied to the substrate surface where it forms a composite mixture layer that is thin relative to the substrate. The composite mixture layer is subjected to a rapid high flux heating pulse of energy to fluidize the fusible matrix former, followed by a rapid quenching step that occurs at least in part because of heat transfer to the substrate, but without signifi-cantly damaging the overall temper properties of the substrate. The nanoscale ceramic phase is present in the composite layer in an amount that is greater than its percolation threshold, so the resulting fused com-posite layer does not tend to flow or sag while the matrix former is in the fluid state. Also, the grain size of the matrix is minimized by the presence of the nanoscale ceramic phase.
