Abstract: To provide indirect electrical stimulation for treatment of degenerative retinal diseases, such stimulation is applied to surface structures of the eye. A source (224) of an electrical stimulation signal is coupled to a first electrode (226) configured for contact with a first internal surface structure of an eyeball. A second electrode (228), which may be configured either for contact with an internal surface structure or an external surface structure of the eyeball, is also coupled to the source. The source of the electrical stimulation signal may be implemented internal to a body of a patient, external to the body or through a combined internal/external approach. The first and second electrodes are preferably arranged such that the circuit created by the source, electrodes and intervening biological tissue provides trans-retinal electrical stimulation to thereby effect treatment.

Title: Temporary lighting support assembly for scaffolding systems
Inventor: WHELAN BRENDAN
IPC: E04G5/00
Filed: 2006-03-08
Granted: 2010-07-20
Abstract: The present invention is concerned with providing a support for temporary lighting for use with scaffolding systems. The support assembly comprises of two main components and the required fastening systems to affix lighting fixtures and mast light fixtures embodied in two configurations. The support consists of a thin walled pipe with a tube half clamp welded to one end and a thin walled tee welded to the opposite end. The clamp and tee are orientated to provide the support with a precise mounting position. A second thin walled pipe is positioned concentrically through the tee to create framework that has an angled appearance. The second pipe is maintained annular and concentric to the first pipe by means of two washer type collars welded above and below the tee that constrains both pipes to each other. A small space between the collar and tee provides the second pipe with unconstrained rotational movement. Lanyards incorporated in the support are fixed directly to the scaffold for job site safety concerns. Another aspect of the invention is the tube half clamp, which can provide quick assembly and infinite positional placement on a horizontal or vertical pipe member of a scaffolding system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing digitally signed messages in which address mismatch errors are detected. In at least one aspect, the number of address mismatch errors reported to a user for a message may be minimized for messages that properly incorporate message portions signed by someone other than the sender of the message, as may be the case where the message contains a conversation thread for example, by performing at least one pre-determined action for digital signatures corresponding to signed data appearing after a message separator. The message separator may indicate that the message contains data from an older forwarded message or from an older message that has been replied to, for example. The at least one-predetermined action may comprise bypassing verification of address matches for those digital signatures, or verifying address matches for those digital signatures but suppressing user notification of any address mismatch errors, for example.

Title: Method for rolling strips in a rolling stand
Inventor: BAUMGAERTEL UWE
IPC: B21B13/14
Filed: 2005-06-03
Granted: 2012-03-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for rolling strips in the roll stand of a rolling mill, wherein said roll stand consists of two axially displaceable working rollers which are provided with a CVC-grinding or a similar contour and whose curved profile is expressed in a third or higher-order polynom and, simultaneously with simple handling of working rollers with large possibilities of adjusting the profile and flatness, the aim of said invention is to homogenise the working rollers wear. For this purpose, the increased cyclic shifting of the working rollers is induced or forced by a cyclic variation of the setting values of the curve of the working cylinders from one strip to another in a predetermined part of the adjustment range thereof, wherein the combined the action of the two adjustment systems (the curve of the working cylinders and the shift thereof) enables the parabolic effects of said two adjustment systems to supplement each other with a high approximation, thereby ensuring the flatness and, in addition, optimally homogenising the working roller wear.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant de charger des munitions du type bille, telles que celles utilisées en paintball, dans le magasin d'une arme de sport (1). Le magasin (3), disposé séparément par rapport à l'arme, est relié à celle-ci au moyen d'un tube d'approvisionnement (2). Un dispositif d'approvisionnement à moteur (8) charge les billes du magasin (3) dans le tube d'approvisionnement (2). Par conséquent, un élément de ressort (17) stocke la traction du moteur, de sorte que, même lorsque le moteur s'arrête, les billes (14) puissent tout de même être transportées au moyen de l'énergie stockée dans l'élément de ressort (17). La traction du moteur est transmise via une liaison ou un embrayage constitué d'un élément de ressort (17) et d'un élément de transmission (19). Des protubérances (20, 21) sont disposées sur l'élément de ressort (17) et l'élément de transmission (19), lesquels peuvent s'appuyer l'un sur l'autre afin de transmettre la traction. Les protubérances (20, 21) sont au moins partiellement flexibles, de sorte que la force transmise est limitée. L'explosion des billes (14) en raison d'une pression excessive est ainsi prévenue. En outre, le dispositif d'approvisionnement (8) est relié à l'élément d'entraînement (16) du dispositif d'approvisionnement (8), qui est sollicité par le ressort (17), au moyen d'une liaison du type baïonnette. De cette façon, le dispositif d'approvisionnement (8) peut être retiré du magasin (3) au moyen d'une manipulation afin de faciliter le nettoyage du magasin (3) au cas où une bille (14) exploserait malgré les précautions.

Abstract: Distances to targets are simultaneously determined in a method for measuring distance according to the phase measuring principle with a time discrete emission of periodic signals and a sampling of received signals for generating and optionally storing sampled values, whereby the signals have signal portions that are reflected by the targets and superimposed. A statistical parameter estimation problem based on a mathematical signal model is solved in such a manner that the number of the targets for more than one target is preset or fundamentally, the number of targets is determined by the method, and the inequalities D- <= D k < D+ and 1 <= k <= K are valid. The preset distances D- ~ IR and D+ ~ IR with D- < D+ set the measuring range of the distance measuring device.
