Abstract: A mask (32) that determines an imaging range of an ocular fundus (Er) is disposed in the optical system at the position conjugate to the fundus. The size of the mask (32) on the ocular fundus is calculated in accordance with the optical imaging parameters of the optical system and the diopter of a subject eye (E) and the eye axial length thereof. Two points (P1, P2) are specified on the image on the display screen. The actual distance between the specified points (P1, P2) on the ocular fundus is calculated based on the calculated mask size on the ocular fundus, a coordinate distance (d1) of the mask on the display screen and a coordinate distance (d2) between the two specified points on the display screen. With such a constitution, the actual distance on the ocular fundus is derived from the optical imaging parameters in the optical system and the subject eye parameters, which affect the imaging magnification. This assures the precise measurement of the actual distance on the ocular fundus from the image on the display screen.

Abstract: An approach to managing stored-value data objects, such as electronic tickets, comprises secure systems and procedures for ticket issuing, storage, and redemption. With these systems and procedures in place, stored-value data objects may be securely transferred to remote systems, such as a user's personal electronic device, for subsequent secure redemption, thus allowing the user to gain access to the desired goods or service upon redeeming the data object. Techniques provide secure delivery of the requested data object to the requesting device, and provide secure redemption and disposal of the data object. Ticket issuing systems may be Internet-accessible systems, and users may purchase and redeem tickets using mobile terminals or other devices adapted for wireless communication. Standardized WPKI and Internet access procedures may be employed in ticket issuance and redemption. Techniques further provide temporary and rapid verification data objects useful where rapid ticket verification is essential, such as mass transit systems.

Abstract: In the cooking apparatus, a gasket 7 is structured such that, where a clearance (shown by an arrow mark G) between a door and the edge of the opening portion of a heating chamber while the door is shut is large, the leading end of a fin-like lip 12 of the gasket 7 is closely stuck on the opening portion edge and also, where the clearance is small, while not only the fin-like lip 12 but also a hollow portion 11 of the gasket are deformed, the gasket 7 is stuck on the opening portion edge. And, where the clearance is further smaller, while the hollow portion 11 and fin-like lip 12 are both deformed greatly, the gasket 7 is stuck on the opening portion edge. In this manner, even when the clearance is uneven, the close contact of the gasket 7 can be secured, which makes it possible to prevent steam and/or smoke against leakage while a food is being heated.

Abstract: A fluidic structure (12) includes a channel (14) and along the channel is a series of sensing components (50,52) to obtain information about objects traveling within the channel, such as droplets or other objects carried by fluid. At least one sensing component includes a set of cells of a photosensor array. The set of cells photosense a range of photon energies that emanate from objects, and include a subset of cells that photosense within subranges. A processor can receive information about objects from the sensing components and use it to obtain spectral information. The processor can perform an initial analysis using information from one set of sensing components and, based on the results, control a fluidic device in the channel, such as a gate, to retain objects, such as for concentration and more detailed analysis by other sensing components, or to purge objects from the channel.

Abstract: A solid imaging method employing sub-pixel shifting in multiple exposures of the digitally light projected image of a cross-section of a three-dimensional object on a solidifiable liquid medium. The multiple exposures provide increased resolution, preserving image features in a three-dimensional object and smoothing out rough or uneven edges that would otherwise occur using digital light projectors that are limited by the number of pixels in an image projected over the size of the image. Algorithms are used to select pixels to be illuminated within the boundary of each image projected in the cross-section being exposed.
