Abstract: An improved process for cleaning and disinfecting contact lenses with a single solution is described. The process utilizes the cleaning effect of a cleaning agent in combination with the solvent action of water and physical agitation of the lens (i.e. by means of rubbing) to achieve a degree of cleaning which is comparable to or better than prior processes which utilize surfactant-cleaners. The cleaning agent is selected from polycarboxylates. The preferred cleaning agent is citrate. The process also offers greater convenience, relative to many prior systems for cleaning and disinfecting contact lenses, since the need to utilize additional products to clean the lenses is eliminated.

Granted: 2002-08-29
Abstract: A pipelined Viterbi decoder includes a plurality of circuit stages and a synchronous clocking arrangement for controlling the operations of the circuits within each stage. Specifically, an input stage converts multi-level input signals into streams of even and odd digital data samples. A parallel-precomputation stage adaptively establishes a threshold range for each sample, while a sequence detection stage designates one of the multiple levels for that sample and then determines the validity of that designation. Validity is determined in accordance with the sequence property of alternate samples in multi-level coding. Violations of the sequence property are corrected by a sequence correction stage so that valid, coded data and clock signals are provided at the outputs of the decoder.

Abstract: A training system (1) has various media for interfacing with a user. A system controller (2) uses an interface file (17) to automatically execute action commands to perform an interfacing event. The action commands are delimited by interactivity point commands, execution of which halts an execution path and allows interactive inputs. A simulation program (19) may then be retrieved to allow the controller (2) simulate interfacing of the training subject. Screen controls are dynamically linked with simulation handlers of the simulation program. They are all disconnected after use of a simulation program. A combination of automatic interfacing and interactivity is achieved in a simple way for effective user training. <MATH>

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method to derive a diagnostic index indicative of a selected cerebral phenomena which obtains 19 unipolar EEG signals from regions of interest on both the left and right hemispheres of a subject's brain. The system uses high-gain, low-noise amplifiers to maximize the dynamic range for low energy wave components of the signals. Band-pass filtering is used to reduce noise and to avoid aliasing. The system applies commonly used digital signal processing (DSP) techniques to digitize, to low-pass filter (100 Hz), and to decimate the signals. Power spectral, bispectral, and higher-order spectral processing is then performed. In a preferred embodiment, the system divides the most recent 63 seconds of digitized EEG data from each lead into 60 4-second intervals, each with 3 seconds of overlap with the previous interval. For a selected set of derived leads, the system produces auto power spectrum, autobispectrum, and auto higher-order spectrum variables, by using either a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) based approach or a parametric approach. Any pair of leads can be combined to compute cross power spectrum, cross bispectrum, and cross higher-order spectrum variables. The spectral values are separated into bins and a value representative of the bin is selected or computed and then each value is multiplied by a predetermined coefficient. The resulting products are summed to arrive at the diagnostic index.

Abstract: The present invention provides a weighing apparatus for weighing coins accumulated in a coin hopper using a load cell and automatically taking a periodic readings of the number of coins accumulated in the hopper. By periodically monitoring the hopper and automatically calculating the number of coins in the hopper, theft of coins and other irregularities can be easily and timely detected. The unauthorized removal of coins during an actual or purported maintenance procedure can be detected by automatically determining a count of coins before a hopper access door is opened, automatically counting the number of coins once the door is closed, and using those two counts to determine the change in the number of coins in the hopper at the time of the change. In a preferred embodiment, the identity of the person opening the hopper door and the time in which the hopper door is opened and closed are recorded, along with any detected discrepancy between the change in coin count and an expected change, if any, in coin count.

Abstract: A connector assembly with a connector body molded directly about a captive ball formed on a separate shaft, where the shaft and connector are attached to separate bodies which move relative to each other. This assembly retains an essentially zero clearance fit between the ball and the connector so as to prevent rattling between the parts from vibrations. This zero clearance fit is achieved at a much lower cost than comparable quality connectors due to higher diametric tolerances for the ball component. Higher diametric tolerances do not affect the final fit because the connector is molded directly about the ball.

Abstract: An apparatus for reproducing a digital information signal from a record carrier includes a read unit for reading a signal from a track on the record carrier, a bit detection unit for deriving the digital information signal from the signal read from the track in response to a clock signal and a phase locked loop for deriving the clock signal from the signal read from the track.

The apparatus further includes a sync pattern detector for detecting sync patterns occurring in the digital information signal and a counter for counting the number of bits occurring between two sync patterns in the digital information signal. If the number of bits counted between the two sync patterns exceeds a predetermined value (THR) by at least one, at least one additional bit is inserted into the digital information signal (an insertion error) and this at least one additional bit should be deleted from the digital information in order to keep the apparatus in synchronisation. When the predetermined number exceeds the number of bits counted by at least one, at least one bit was deleted from the digital information signal (a deletion error), so that at least one bit should be added in order to keep the apparatus in synchronization.
