Title: Method and system for ablating surfaces with partially overlapping craters having consistent curvature
Inventor: YEE KINGMAN
IPC: A61B18/20
Filed: 2000-02-28
Abstract: This invention is a technique for laser sculpting a predetermined shape on a n exposed corneal surface (6) by ablating a sequence of consistently curved craters (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) with individual pulses of a laser beam (10). An  initial laser beam energy pattern (14) is shaped by a laser beam shaping element (22) to make a consistently curved laser beam (12) energy pattern. T he consistently curved laser beam (12) ablates a consistently curved crater (16 ) in the surface (6) with a single pulse of the laser beam (10). A computer (2 6) controls the position of the laser beam (10), and scans the laser beam over the surface (6) to sculpt the predetermined shape in an ablation zone (18) o n the exposed surface. A sequence of partially overlapping craters (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) are distributed over the ablation zone (18). In some embodiments diffractive optics (50) are used as a beam shaping element (33). In addition al embodiments, the consistently curved crater (16) is a uniformly curved spherical crater.

Patent CA-2383078-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KLITGAARD PETER CHRISTIAN
IPC: A61M5/31
Filed: 2000-09-04
Abstract: A limiting mechanism which prevents the setting of a dose, which exceeds the amount of liquid left in a cartridge of an injection device is disclosed. The injection device is the type where a dose is set by rotating a dose setting member relative to a driver and away from a fixed stop in the injection device. The dose setting member interfaces the driver such that the dose setting member can be rotated in one direction without rotating the driver. The dose is injected by rotating back the dose setting member which during the backward rotation carries the driver with it. Rotating the driver causes the piston rod to move forward inside the cartridge and expel some of the liquid contained in the cartridge.  The driver is provided with a track having a length which is related to the total amount of liquid in the cartridge and which track is engaged by a track follower coupled to the dose setting member to follow rotation of this dose setting member. Each time a dose is set and injected, the track follower moves further into the track. When the track follower reaches the end of the track the dose setting member cannot be rotated further, and a dose larger than the remaining liquid in the cartridge cannot be set.

Title: Self-stabilizing, portable and efficient computer arithmetic using mappings of d scale points
Inventor: DRUCK PHILIP
IPC: G06F7/38
Filed: 2000-10-17
Abstract: A signal and noise processor and method for signal and noise processing that  employs a D Scale, which assigns the results of arithmetic operations to a s et of values of controlled density and value. The signal processor that employs  repetitive mapping calculations based on a D Arithmetic has two components. The first is its set of mappings from each pair of points in a D Scale into a point in a D Scale. Thus, the processor generates a set of predetermined, arithmetic operation mappings, stored in a computer database or its equivalent. The second component is a map of measured values, into D Scale points. The minimum resolution of resolution of a D Arithmetic is determined  by the reciprocal of the maximum prime number in the D Scale. However, most important, the average resolution can be orders of magnitude higher because of the irregular pattern of points in a D Scale. A tighter variance of the resolution is achieved by using more prime sub-scales to fill in the D Scale . It amplifies the effect of far fewer sample points to attain the same mean resolution, with a tight variance, as the naive, high uniform sampling rate.  Further, its self stabilizing property controllably bound the round-off erro rs of sequential calculations. This thereby decouples actual noise from the artifact created bycalculation round-off errors. The invention provides a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of a signal or image as an example of any continuous-to-discrete transformation.
