Abstract: A method and apparatus for destroying residual lens epithelial cells within a lens capsule of an eye. The apparatus includes a probe configured for insertion into the eye such that the probe is disposed either in the lens capsule or between the iris and the lens capsule. The probe is further configured to deliver energy therefrom to residual lens epithelial cells within the lens capsule in order to destroy them. The method includes the steps of inserting a probe constructed in accordance with the apparatus of present invention into the eye such that a distal end portion of the probe is disposed either within the lens capsule or between the iris and the lens capsule, delivering energy to the probe such that residual lens epithelial cells within the lens capsule are destroyed, ceasing the delivery of energy to the probe, and removing the probe from the eye.   <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A device for the mixing and metered unloading of cattle fodder or the like has a mixing chamber with a bottom, two side walls located opposite one another and an end wall extending transversely relative to the side walls, as well as at least one drivable mixing element which is mounted in the mixing chamber and extends approximately parallel to the side walls and which, during operation, covers, in the mixing chamber, a virtually closed path extending partially between and partially parallel to the side walls. A discharge orifice capable of being shut off by a shut-off member and intended for the unloading of cattle fodder is provided in at least one side wall, the path of movement of the (each) mixing element being adjacent to the bottom and the side walls and running along the discharge orifice in the (each) side wall, and, with the discharge orifice opened, the (each) mixing element, functioning as an unloading element, discharging the cattle fodder out of the discharge orifice. The mixing chamber possesses, opposite the end wall, an open introduction side for introducing the cattle fodder or the like, the (each) mixing element being adjustable along the circumference of a mixing space arranged in the mixing chamber and intended for the cattle fodder to be mixed. The mixing space is accessible via the open mixing-chamber introduction side arranged opposite the end wall, there being arranged on the open introduction side of the mixing chamber a cutting plate which is movable up and down and which has on its underside a cutting member for releasing the cattle fodder from a stock. The released cattle fodder can be introduced into the mixing space as a result of the adjustment of the cutting plate in the direction of the end wall, and the cutting plate is connected to at least one pivotably mounted pivoting arm, supported in the region of the end wall, for moving the cutting plate up and down. Furthermore, the pivoting arm is designed so as to be telescopically retractable and extensible for the purpose of adjusting the cutting plate. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A control apparatus for a motor-driven power
steering system of a motor vehicle controls the steering
system such that a steering torque required to be applied by
a driver is prevented from increasing abruptly or steeply
even when generation of an assist torque applied to the
steering system for assisting the driver in steering
operation is to be stopped. The control apparatus includes
an operation stop decision means (111, 112, OR) for deciding
whether or not an operation stop command is to be issued for
stopping control operation for the motor-driven power
steering system, a torque detecting means (16, 113) for
detecting a steering torque transmitted from an input shaft
(21a) to an output shaft (21c) of a steering column (21) of
the motor-driven power steering system, and an assist torque
control means (114, 116, 117, 118, 13) for updating an assist
torque applied by an electric motor (20) to the output shaft
(21c) with an assist torque control quantity determined on
the basis of a detected torque value outputted from the
torque detection means (16, 113), wherein upon issuance of
the operation stop command by the operation stop decision
means (111, 112, OR), the assist torque control means stops
application of the assist torque, provided that the detected
torque value is lower than a predetermined value inclusive

Abstract: A super password is a one time use password that is issued to a user
for the singular purpose of reinitializing the user password system for a
meter. When the meter is manufactured, the meter and the Data Center
share secret data such that they can execute a predefined and identical
algorithm for secure communication. Through such secure communications,
the Data Center can authenticate a metering system, and the metering
system can accept a predefined command from the Data Center securely.
Counters are used as data to encypt. One counter is used for the one way
communication from the meter to the data center and counts the number of
times that the meter issues a one time authentication code. Another counter
is used for the one way communication from the Data Center to the meter
and counts the number of times that the Data Center issues a one time super
password. The counters are used for two purposes: as data to be encrypted
and to confirm the delivery of secure codes between the Data Center and the
meter. The use of counters in the process eliminates problems that
undelivered messages would create.
