Title: System for presbyopia treatment
Inventor: RUIZ LUIS ANTONIO
IPC: A61F9/008
Filed: 1995-06-28
Granted: 2001-08-21
Abstract: A process for surgically correcting presbyopia includes anesthetizing a patient and marking a portion of an eye of the patient which is to be ablated.  At least a portion of the cornea is resected to expose the corneal stroma.  An annular portion of the corneal stroma is then ablated using radiation from a laser beam.  After ablation, the cornea is repositioned onto the eye.      The cornea may be resected such that a portion of the cornea remains intact, and is folded back to expose the corneal stroma.          Alternatively, a complete disk of the cornea may be removed from the eye, to thereby expose the corneal stroma.  After exposure but before ablating, the corneal stroma should be dried to prevent uneven ablation which may occur if fluids are present on the stroma.  The laser beam may be directed in a circular fashion until an annular ablation is formed, or a mask may be provided over a central area of the corneal stroma.  To prevent edema, the ablated portion should be cleaned by brushing and irrigating.  A system for surgically performing the presbyopia correction process also is described.  This system includes a marker, a resector such as an automatic corneal shaper, and a laser for ablating the corneal stroma.

Patent CA-2161728-C (CA)
Inventor: PETERSON WARREN A
IPC: B23K103/04
Filed: 1995-10-30
Granted: 1999-07-13
Abstract: Two steel members are resistance welded using a filler therebetween in the form of either an insert or a metallized layer on the inner surface of one steel member.      The steel members have respective compositions at least one of which comprises at least one alloying element having a concentration which contributes substantially to solidification cracking extensive enough to produce an unacceptable weld fracture. The filler has a composition which, during welding, melts and mixes with molten metal from the steel members, at the welding location, and dilutes the concentration there of one or more of the alloying elements which contribute substantially to solidification cracking. This reduces substantially the contribution, to solidification cracking, of each alloying element which has been so diluted. The cumulative dilution of these alloying elements is sufficient to produce an acceptable weld fracture.

Title: Ostomy coupling
Inventor: HOLLANDS KEITH G M
IPC: A61F5/448
Filed: 1996-04-15
Granted: 2007-11-13
Abstract: An ostomy coupling has first and second coupling members. These can be held together by a springy flexible split locking ring. A plurality of tabs, arranged, e.g. symetrically, on the limbs of the locking ring, can be withdrawn generally radially outwardly by movement of the locking ring to permit separation of the two coupling members. The movement of the locking ring which causes withdrawal of the tabs may be a vertically upward movement of the ring, or a vertically downward movement. The movement of the locking ring which causes withdrawal of the tabs alternatively may be a deformation of the ring in opposed horizontal directions. Preferably, however, the movement of the locking ring which causes a withdrawal of the tabs is a rotational movement relative to the second coupling member.

Abstract: A microwave multiphase detector for demultiplexing and regenerating data from an incoming data stream includes N data channels and has a data rate R. For recovering data corresponding to a channel M, a detecting unit receives the data stream, detects a sampling phase corresponding to a data transition on channel M and generates a phase width modulated (pwm) pulse, phase modulated with the sampling phase. A digital to analog (D/A) conversion unit converts the pwm pulse to a contributing control voltage and a data regeneration unit provides a recovered data bit for channel (M). The detector is supplied with N variants of a local clock signal with a rate R/N, each variant being phase displaced with ~360°/N from the adjacent variants. A counterbalancing unit is also provided for each channel, such that if a pwm pulse is indeed generated, the contributing voltage for that pulse is compensated for with a balance pulse of opposed amplitude. In this way, the sampling phase corresponding to the respective M data channel may be adjusted by varying the ratio between the amplitudes of the pwm pulse and the balance pulse.
