Title: Eye movement sensing method and system
Inventor: FREY RUDOLPH W
IPC: A61B3/113
Filed: 1995-04-18
Abstract: A method and system are provided for sensing eye movement, such as saccadic eye movement, in a non-intrusive fashion. An optical delivery arrangement converts a laser beam pulse into a plurality of light spots. The light spots are focused such that they are incident on a corresponding plurality of positions located on a boundary whose movement is coincident with that of eye movement. The boundary can be defined by two visually adjoining surfaces having different coefficients of reflection. Energy is reflected from each of the positions located on the boundary receiving the light spots. An optical receiving arrangement detects the reflected energy from each of the positions. Changes in reflected energy at one or more of the positions is indicative of eye movement.

Title: Fiber optic amplifier
Inventor: SHAW HERBERT JOHN
IPC: H01S3/23
Filed: 1984-09-24
Abstract: @ A pair of small diameter optical fibers (12, 14) are arranged in a side-by-side configuration, the first fiber (12) providing a passive guide for pump light, and the second fiber (14) formed of a material, such as Nd:YAG which has amplifying properties at the signal frequency. The signal to be amplified propagates through the second fiber (14) resulting in amplification of the signal. The first fiber (12) is pumped from one or both ends, utilizing a cone shaped rod (50) which is optically coupled thereto. A plurality of pump light sources (60) are mounted on the end face (58) of the rod (50) to introduce collimated pump light into the large end (52) of the cone shaped rod (50). Total internal reflections on the cone walls compress the pump light to a small, fiber-size diameter end (54) for propagation through the pump fiber (12) and absorption by the active fiber (14). The pump light sources (60) are offset from the axis (72) of the rod (50) to excite high order modes in the pump fiber (12) to enhance absorption by the active fiber (14). The pump light sources (60) preferably comprise high power laser diodes (64) and collimating microlenses (62). By utilizing the cone-shaped rod (50) to couple light from the high power laser diodes (64) to the pump fiber (12), high pump power densities can be achieved, yielding increased amplification.

Title: Quick-release connector
Inventor: SAVOIE ARMAND J
IPC: A43C15/16
Filed: 1999-04-15
Abstract: A removably attachable traction gear for the underside of footwear having two primary components: a retaining member and a receptacle. These two components respectively replace the common screw and threaded receptacle systems found in for affixing traction gear to the underside of shoes. A partial turn of the traction gear securely locks the gear into the receptacle. The retaining member has a three-extension design so as to make the traction gear resistant to lateral forces applied to the ground-engaging end of the cleat. Locking is achieved through use of cantilevered fingers which press in during installation of the retaining member, and which spring back out to lock with mated indentations in the extensions. During installation a dome containing insole material is compressed. Unlocking is achieved through reverse turning the retaining member to force the springs back in, and removal is aided through re-expansion of the dome. In a preferred form, the invention is utilized to attach athletic cleats to a sport shoe.

Title: Olefin purification by adsorption of acethylenics and regeneration of adsorbent
Inventor: KAMINSKY MARK P
IPC: B01D53/02
Filed: 1999-04-28
Abstract: Processes using heterogeneous adsorbents are disclosed for purification of relatively impure unsaturated hydrocarbons such as olefins, which are typically produced by thermal cracking of suitable hydrocarbon feedstocks, by passing a feed stream, containing acetylenic impurities, and, optionally, saturated hydrocarbon gases, through a particulate bed predominantly comprising a support material having high a surface area on which is dispersed at least one metallic element. Adsorption is carried out in an essentially dihydrogen-free atmosphere within the bed, effecting selective and reversible adsorption and/or complexing of the contained acetylenic contaminants with the adsorbent, thereby obtaining purified effluent which contains less than a predetermined level of the acetylenic impurities. Selective and reversible adsorption and/or complexing of the contained acetylenic impurities with the adsorbent is continued until levels of acetylenic impurities in the effluent stream increase to a predetermined level. Thereafter, the resulting bed of adsorbent is regenerated in the presence of a reducing gas containing dihydrogen to effect release of the contained acetylenic impurities from the adsorbent.
