Patent EP-0742461-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ROFFMAN JEFFREY H
IPC: G02B13/00
Filed: 1996-05-03
Abstract: Aspheric toric lens designs are disclosed
which reduce the number of cylindrical axis locations
required for stock keeping units in inventory by
aspherizing the toric surface thereof. The present
invention pertains to ophthalmic lenses, and in
particular to contact lenses such as soft hydrogel
contact lenses, particularly designed to fit astigmatic
patients who are either non-presbyopic or presbyopic.
One of the front and back surfaces of the aspheric toric
lens defines a spherical surface corresponding at least
to the patient's basic distance prescription Rx. The
other of the front and back surfaces defines an aspheric
toric curve, wherein the toric surface is constructed
with aspheric radii, such that the aspheric curve
desensitizes axial misalignment of the toric curve by
providing an enhanced depth-of-focus. When the aspheric
toric surface is on the back surface of the lens, the
spherical curve on the front surface of the lens can
comprise a single spherical curve corresponding to the
patient's basic distance prescription Rx. When the
aspheric toric curve is on the front surface of the
lens, the spherical curve on the back surface of the
lens can comprise a multifocus concentric annular ring
spherical surface design.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical fiber
grating (130) as an optical component comprising an optical
fiber (100) having a core (110) and a cladding (120), and a grating
photowritten in the optical fiber. In particular, in
the optical fiber grating in accordance with the
present invention, the optical fiber into which the
grating periodically changing the refractive index in
the waveguide along the advancing direction of light is
photowritten has a depressed cladding type (A) refractive
index profile. Accordingly, when the configuration of
the optical fiber having a depressed cladding type
refractive index, employed as the object in which the
grating is photowritten, is changed, the stability in
characteristics as the optical component or the like
can easily be improved.

Abstract: An enhanced compiler for compiling C++ programs without the use of
forward declarations normally included in program header files. Through
multiple parsing passes, the compiler extracts definitions for the
declarations directly from the bodies of the C++ files. By saving the
definitions to a persistent program representation, for example a program
database, on subsequent sweeps, only definitions for new or changed
declarations need be updated. In this way, C++ programs can be
incrementally compiled on a declaration by declaration basis.

Abstract: A method for hot docking and hot undocking a portable computer and a docking
station. The portable computer and docking station are physically coupled via a shared PCI
bus and an expansion connector. Varying length pins in the expansion connector generate
docking and undocking handshaking signals used by microcontrollers in the portable
computer and docking station. The portable computer and docking station are functionally
connected via low on-resistance switches located in the portable computer. Following a
docking event, closure of the switches connects the portion of the shared PCI bus in the
docking station with the PCI bus in the portable computer. When the switches are open,
the PCI busses are functionally isolated. Both the portable computer and the docking station
also include a local arbiter for arbitrating and granting bus control requests from devices
coupled to the shared PCI bus. These local arbiters may be placed into an idled state by
either the operating system (through system BIOS) or by the microcontrollers. The arbiters
are idled during docking and undocking events in order to inhibit bus cycles on the PCI bus,
thereby preventing cycles from being lost. Following completion of a hot docking or
undocking event, Plug-and-Play system reconfiguration is carried out so that all system
resources may be recognized and properly utilized by the operating system.

Abstract: A reference image forming method is used in a
pattern inspection apparatus for scanning a pattern
formed on an object to be inspected on the basis of
design data with a laser beam having a predetermined
wavelength, focusing transmitted light passing through
the object on a light-receiving element by using an
objective lens, forming a real image from pattern
information obtained from the light-receiving element,
and comparing the real image with a reference image
obtained by imaging the design data, thereby detecting a
defect in the object. In this method, reference data is
formed by developing the design data as a pattern made
of multilevel gradation values on pixels having a
resolution higher than an inspection resolution. A
reference image is formed by increasing or decreasing
the width of each pattern of the reference data as a
multilevel gradation pattern with a precision higher
than the inspection resolution on the basis of an edge
position of a corresponding pattern in the real image.
A pattern inspection apparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention increases the success rate of soft handoffs by
enhancing the ability of a mobile-telephone to receive a handoff direction message that
identifies the traffic channel being assigned to enable a candidate base station to
communicate with the mobile-telephone. Specifically, the aforementioned ability of the
mobile-telephone is enhanced by using the candidate base station to transmit the handoff
direction message on a communication channel belonging to the candidate base station
and being listened to by the mobile-telephone. In situations where signals transmitted
from active set base stations have a low signal-to-noise ratio at the mobile-telephone,
signals transmitted from the candidate base station may have a higher signal-to-noise
ratio at the mobile-telephone. In these situations, the transmission of the HD messages
from the candidate base station increases the likelihood that a copy of the handoff
direction message will be successfully received by the mobile-telephone, thereby
enhancing the success rate of soft handoffs.
