Title: Synchronizing multiple steering inputs to marine rudder/steering actuators
Inventor: JUVE ERIC K
IPC: B63H25/04
Filed: 1999-12-29
Granted: 2007-06-05
Abstract: A steering system (100) includes an incremental helm (102), a control panel (104), and an autopilot (106) that are electrically connected to a command processor (108). The steering system further includes an autopilot attitude controller (110) and an incremental servo (112) for actuating the rudder. The incremental helm acts as a course selector for the autopilot. Upon autopilot engagement, the set heading is the current heading plus any heading change received from the helm after engagement. A course selection controller (120) employs a helm increment summer (122) and a washout filter (124) that are initialized to zero upon engagement. The washout filter follows short-term course changes but forgets them over a longer time. A disengage threshold block (126) receives the washout filter output and disengages the autopilot if the threshold is exceeded. The course selection controller allows a helmsman to make occasional course changes without automatically disengaging the autopilot unless the helmsman rotates the helm at a rate that exceeds the threshold. Upon disengagement, the autopilot is inhibited from re-engaging for a short time, after which the autopilot can re-engage when the turning rate approaches zero. The steering system further includes a helm rotation stop that provides the helmsman with rudder stop position feedback, responds to the rudder stops regardless of the current steering ratio, incorporates a powerful braking action with a low-power mechanism, and provides unidirectional braking at either rudder stop in response to a single steering limit signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for completely correcting visual defects of the human eye. The invention mentions combinations of measuring and treatment methods that allow the complete correction of defects of the human eye if applied according to the invention. Measuring methods are used that precisely detect the surface of the cornea and that also register the aberrations that occur in the beam path up to the retina. The computer-assisted evaluation of these measurement results combined with the calculation of optimally corrected lenses (for example after a cataract operation) or of optimally correcting cornea surfaces makes it possible to produce a patient-specific lens and/or to shape the retina so that it optimally corrects the aberration.  To this end, the invention preferably uses a spot scanning excimer laser system and makes use of the topography of the eye.
