Inventor: JAMES MICHAEL D
IPC: B24B13/02
Filed: 1997-05-02
Abstract: A tool for polishing/fining an ophthalmic lens has a housing with an interior open at planar ends thereof. A cluster of rods is longitudinally aligned in sliding abutment within the housing, each rod of the cluster extending from one planar end of the housing to the other. One resiliently elastic diaphragm extends across one planar end and another resiliently elastic diaphragm extends across the other planar end. A cap has a rim which fixes the exterior perimeter of the first diaphragm against the top of the housing. The cap defines a pneumatic chamber longitudinally aligned between the exterior surface of the first diaphragm and the interior wall of the cap. A passage through the cap wall admits air under pressure into the chamber. A ring fixes the exterior perimeter of the other diaphragm against the bottom of the housing. Screws secure the cap and ring to the housing with the diaphragms therebetween. Pneumatic distortion of one diaphragm is transmitted by longitudinal displacement of individual ones of the cluster of rods to the interior surface of the other diaphragm. This causes the other diaphragm to dynamically comply to the surface of a lens as the other diaphragm and the lens are relatively laterally displaced.

Abstract: An interference based dynamic channel assignment scheme for a wireless
communication network, for self configuring dynamic channel assignment of a plurality
of channels, comprises the steps of: prioritizing a channel list and prioritizing a selected
subset of the prioritized channel list. In further enhancements of the present invention,
prioritizing a channel list is distributed on a per cell/sector basis so that prioritization is
independent of frequency usage information from other cells/sectors and prioritization is
based upon uplink and downlink characteristics.

Abstract: A communication system is presented whereby sequences
of video screens sent from a host CPU to a video controller
can be stored and subsequently retrieved by a terminal
located remote from the host CPU. The host CPU and video
controller form part of a server arranged within a
distributed computing system. An administrator situated at
the remote terminal can retrieve select video screens
produced during server operations to determine information
regarding the server configuration and possible causes of
server failure or future failure. The sequence of video
screens thereby represent video screen changes stored upon
a server controller adapted for coupling to the server
expansion bus. The video screen changes represent a sequence
of video screen changes occurring prior to server failure or
after server reset. Those changes provide beneficial
information to an administrator located remote from the
server, and allows the administrator to communicate with the
server using several possible communication protocols. The
server controller snoops display data written from the host
CPU to the video controller and mirrors the display data upon
buffers within the server controller. Information within the
buffers can be called upon by a remotely situated
administrator regardless of whether server power is lost in
the interim.

Abstract: A satellite receiving antenna at a user location receives satellite signals at a first frequency from a satellite. The satellite signals travel along a satellite signal route encompassed within an aperture of the satellite receiving antenna. A terrestrial transmitter transmits signals at the first frequency along a wireless transmission route from the transmitter to the user location. The terrestrial transmitter is located with respect to the user location so that the wireless transmission route is outside of the aperture of the satellite receiving antenna. Also the terrestrial transmission power is controlled so that the terrestrial signals present at the user location result in terrestrial input signals from the satellite receiving antenna which are below an interference signal power level with respect to satellite input signals produced by the satellite receiving antenna. Thus, the terrestrial signals do not interfere with the satellite signals even though they are transmitted at a common frequency. However, the terrestrial signals are maintained at a power level at the user location such that information may be extracted from terrestrial signals.

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, preventive fills and
automatic inventorying can be effected. Knowing the coin count and being able to transmit
coin counts to a central location allows for central accounting. Monitoring the coin count
locally or centrally allows for "preemptive fills" where a hopper running low on coins is filled
during periods of inactivity prior to the hopper being completely empty. The number of coins
in the hopper at any given time is determined from the combined weight of the hopper and
the coins accumulated in the hopper.

Abstract: A C-shaped fixed core is provided at a power receiving
portion, and a secondary coil is wound on a vertical portion of
the fixed core. A moving core is vertically movable in sliding
contact with distal end surfaces of horizontal portions of the
fixed core. A primary coil, having an air core portion, is
provided at a charging coupler. When the charging coupler is
attached to the power receiving portion, the moving core is
moved downward to extend through the air core portion of the
primary coil, and opposite end portions of the moving core are
contacted respectively with the horizontal portions of the
fixed core. As a result, a magnetic circuit is formed between
the primary and secondary coils. The charging coupler is
lightweight since it does not have a core.

Abstract: A respiratory therapy apparatus is disclosed that delivers a predetermined precise
volume of a therapeutic gas to a patient upon each inhalation of the patient. The
apparatus has a flow sensing device (28,30) and a valve (26) that opens and closes to
deliver the pulse to the patient. A CPU (24) controls the open time of the valve and
also uses the flow to the patient determined by the flow sensing device and the time
the valve is in the open position to determine the volume of therapeutic gas to the
patient. A user input device (38) communicates a user desired volume to be delivered
to the patient and the CPU compares the user input desired volume with the calculated
volume and adjusts the time the valve (26) is in the open position to cause the
apparatus to deliver to the patient the precise desired volume inputted by the user. The
apparatus thus provides a precise volume of therapeutic gas to the patient during each
inhalation independent of supply pressure of the therapeutic gas, the ambient pressure
or the size of the inhalation.
