Abstract: Combined multifocal toric lens designs are
disclosed which combine a correction for astigmatism,
either corneal or lenticular, with a correction for
presbyopia. One of the front and back surfaces of the
lens defines a toric surface for an astigmatic optical
correction, and one of the front and back surfaces,
which can be the same surface or the opposite surface,
defines a multifocal surface for a presbyopic optical
correction, to provide visual acuity for astigmatic
presbyopes. Embodiments are disclosed wherein one
surface of the lens design has a combined concentric
annular ring, multifocal toric surface, and the other
surface of the lens design has a spherical or aspherical
surface. In other embodiments, one surface of the lens
design has a toric surface for a toric correction, and
the other surface of the lens design has a multifocal
surface to provide a presbyopic correction, which may
include concentric annular ring multifocal lens designs,
or other presbyopic lens designs which contain more than
one spherical or aspherical power such as aspheres,
segments, progressive aspheres, diffractive,
birefringent or other concentrics.
Patent EP-0779745-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SHIM DAE-YUN
IPC: H04N19/423
Filed: 1996-12-10
Abstract: A data outputting sequence converting method and
circuit is disclosed which employs an inverse discrete
cosine transform (IDCT) for matching the sequences of a
picture signal output from an IDCT unit and those output
from a motion compensator in a moving picture coding
apparatus. The circuit includes a memory (45) for
storing the IDCT-performed data packed in a
predetermined unit, a write controller (41) for
generating a write address and a write control signal
for controlling the operation of writing the IDCT-performed
data in the memory (45) and generating a read
request signal if the write operation is completed. The
circuit also includes a read controller (43) for
receiving an accept signal in response to the read
request signal and generating a read address and a read
control signal for reading the IDCT-performed data from
the memory (45). Since the sequences of a picture
signal output from an IDCT and those output from a
motion compensator are united by an address mapping
method, a separate format converter is not required,
thus, post-processing complexity is relieved. Also, the
circuit always operates without a processing delay due
to the time gap between the request operation and accept
operation. A simplified interfacing circuit is provided
by mapping a luminance output signal and a chrominance
output signal and compact hardware implementation can be
achieved.

Abstract: A depuncturing circuit is provided which can process a
convolutional code changing its code rate in unit of
block. A punctured convolutional code changing its code
rate in unit of block is written in a memory circuit 11. 
A puncturing enable signal  j  is repetitively generated by
a puncturing enable creating circuit until the block
number counted by a counter 13 with reference to an index
 h  reaches the block number stored in the puncturing
enable creating circuit 15. The puncturing enable signal
 j  is supplied to a read address generator 16 and a
selection circuit 17. The read address generator 16
increments a read address when the puncturing enable
signal  j  takes a high potential to read data  l  stored in
the memory circuit 11. The selection circuit 17 selects
the data  l  while the puncturing enable signal  j  takes the
high potential and selects dummy data  m  while it takes a
low potential, to thus depuncture the convolutional code. 
The depunctured data is parallel converted and output.

Abstract: To carry out machining by a focused ion beam 2 using an assist gas including
steam gas. In a machining operation by a focused ion beam 2 by using an assist gas
including steam gas, as a method of supplying steam gas, the steam gas is supplied
from a salt hydrate 20 and the pressure of steam is controlled by controlling the
temperature of the salt hydrate 20. As a method for supplying steam gas, when the
steam gas is introduced into a vacuum chamber 21, the flow rate needs to be controlled
by a control valve 5 since the vapour pressure of water is very high, which amounts to
a complicated gas supply system and which amounts to an expensive device. However,
steam vapour having a low pressure is supplied by using salt hydrate 20, the
introduction of gas to a vacuum chamber 21 is made feasible only by passing the gas
through a friction pipe and the amount of introducing a gas can be controlled by a
simple system where only the temperature of the salt hydrate 20 is controlled by an
inexpensive temperature controller 14.

IPC: B29C35/16
Filed: 1997-12-12
Abstract: A process for forming a catheter tip is described
wherein a mold having an internal surface complimentary
to the desired external surface of the catheter tip is
formed such that it has two temperature zones. A first
higher temperature zone is positioned proximally of the
catheter distal tip and a lower temperature zone is
positioned distal to the higher temperature zone. A
catheter to be tipped is placed upon a mandrel or
needle and the mold is heated. Upon insertion of the
catheter and mandrel into the mold. The catheter
material softens and begins to flow within the mold.
The higher temperature portion supplies the heat
necessary to soften the catheter material and it flow
to the lower temperature zone wherein the lower
temperature causes the catheter material to become more
viscous or resolidify. Upon becoming more viscous, the
catheter material, at the very tip, acts as a dam to
prevent further flow of material thus eliminating flash
from the mold end.

Abstract: The concentration of carbon monoxide in a gaseous
medium is reduced by selective catalytic oxidation in
the presence of gaseous oxygen by passing the gaseous
medium through a quantity of a catalyst capable of
oxidizing carbon monoxide in an exothermic reaction at
temperatures within a given temperature range. The
temperatures encountered in the catalyst are controlled
in such a manner that the exothermic reaction takes
place first above a threshold temperature below which
the catalyst would be rapidly inactivated at the
relatively high carbon monoxide concentrations present
in the gaseous medium as it enters an inlet portion of
the catalyst quantity , and subsequently in an outlet
portion of the catalyst quantity at less than the
threshold temperature to further reduce the carbon
monoxide concentration to a desired minimum level below
that achievable at temperatures above the threshold
temperature.
