Title: Method for determining the location of at least two impacts
Inventor: KIRI ING ROS
IPC: G01B21/00
Filed: 2008-12-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the locations of at least two impacts F, and F2 on a surface using one or more sensors S i, i = 1 to n, with n being the number of sensors, said impacts F, and F2 generating a signal being sensed by the one or more sensors, wherein each sensor provides a sensed signal s i(t), i = 1 to n, with n being the number of sensors. To be able to determine simultaneous impacts of different amplitudes the method comprises the steps of: identifying the location x of one impact, and determining a modified sensed signal s i(t) for each sensor in which the contribution due to the identified impact is reduced and which is based on a comparison, in particular a correlation, of each of the sensed signals s i(t) and a predetermined reference signal r ij(t) corresponding to a reference impact R j at location j. The invention also relates to methods based on couples of sensed signals and to a device carrying out the inventive methods.

Title: Reflectometry instrument and method for measuring macular pigment
Inventor: BERENDSCHOT TOS T J M
IPC: A61B3/10
Filed: 2007-04-18
Abstract: A reflectometry instrument includes a light source, a spectrometer, and a first and second lens. The light source emits an illumination beam to the macula. The spectrometer measures a detection beam that is a portion of the illumination beam reflected from the eye and is indicative of the eye characteristics (e.g. macular pigment). The first and second lenses transmit the illumination beam to the macula and transmit the detection beam from the macula to the spectrometer. The instrument is used on an undilated pupil and minimizes unwanted reflections by at least one of the following: the first and second lenses include anti-reflection coatings; the illumination and detection beams pass through the first and second lenses at locations offset from their centers; and the illumination and the detection beams remain separated when passing through the first and second lenses. Zeaxanthin, lutein, and the total macular pigment levels are measured by the instrument.

Title: Passive solar wire screens for buildings
Inventor: MAXSON RICHARD C
IPC: F24S23/70
Filed: 2009-08-11
Abstract: Passive solar wire screens mount vertically on an edifice. The screens have rods vertically arranged parallel to one another and have wires horizontally arranged parallel to one another. The wires attach to the rods and have first surfaces facing away from the edifice in an upward direction from vertical. The wires also have second surfaces facing toward the edifice in a downward direction from vertical. When the sun has a summer elevation on the horizon, the first surfaces passively reflect solar energy incident thereto away from the wire screens. When the sun has a winter elevation on the horizon, however, the first surfaces passively reflect solar energy incident thereto toward the second surfaces, which in turn passively reflect the solar energy toward the edifice. A concave surface on the wires can also reflect thermal energy back to the edifice.
