IPC: G02C7/04
Filed: 1996-04-29
Granted: 1999-09-16
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. <IMAGE>

Title: Light with a light-guiding element
Inventor: BOHLE MARKUS
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 1999-08-19
Granted: 2003-06-26
Abstract: A light (1) comprises a light source (4) and a wedge-shaped light guiding element (3) having two wedge surfaces (11, 13) and a light entry face (10) extending between the wedge surfaces where they are farthest apart. Light from the source (4) enters light guiding element via the face (10) and is reflected by one wedge surface (13) against the other wedge surface (11) where it exits from the light guiding element (3). To improve radiation characteristics, the other wedge surface (11), which is an exit surface, is profiled with adjacent elevations and indentations extending crosswise to the direction of the wedge. A transparent diffuser (20) is positioned at a distance in front of the exit surface (11). The side of the diffuser (20) facing away from the light exit surface is profiled with adjacent elevations and indentations. The distance between the diffuser (20) and the light guiding element (3) prevents light from entering the diffuser at any angle and thus increases the effectiveness of the profiling.

Title: Lidocaine aerosol anaesthetic
Inventor: HENRY RICHARD A
IPC: A61K31/245
Filed: 1994-03-28
Granted: 1997-02-27
Abstract: The composition of the present invention combines the local anaesthetic lidocaine in free base form and the non-CFC aerosol propellant HFC-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane; CF3CH2F) or HFC-227 (1,1,1,2,3,3,3-Heptafluoropropane; CF3CHFCF3), or a combination thereof, thus incorporating previously-unattainable amounts of the lidocaine free base in solution in a non-CFC aerosol propellant. This particular form of relatively-concentrated cosolvent-free anaesthetic permits improved inhalation delivery to the airway and lung, and topical airway local anaesthesia is thus readily provided. A method in accordance with the invention provides for release of the anaesthetic in aerosolized form of selected dosage from a canister containing the pressurized local anaesthetic composition into a patient's respiratory system directly or by way of an airway.

Granted: 2004-08-19
Abstract: Lovastatin, pravastatin, simvastatin, mevastatin, atorvastatin, and derivatives and analogs thereof are known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and are used as antihypercholesterolemic agents. The majority of them are produced by fermentation using microorganisms of different species identified as species belonging to Aspergillus, Monascus, Nocardia, Amycolatopsis, Mucor or Penicillium genus, and some are obtained by treating the fermentation product s using the methods of chemical synthesis or they are the products of total chemical synthesis.  The aforementioned active substance s may be destabilised by the environmental factors, their degradation may al so be accelerated by interactions with other pharmaceutical ingredients, such as fillers, binders, lubricants, glidants and disintegrating agents, therefore the pharmaceutical ingredients and the process for preparation of the pharmaceutical formulation should be meticulously chosen to avoid the aforementioned undesired interactions and reactions.  The present invention relates to a stable solid pharmaceutical formulation for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia. More precisely, the present invention relates to the new stable solid pharmaceutical formulation containing as an active ingredient a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, such as atorvastatin, pravastatin, fluvastatin and cerivastatin or pharmaceutically acceptable salt s thereof.

Title: Improved nonwoven fabric with high CD elongation and method of making same
Inventor: KAUSCHKE MICHAEL
IPC: D04H3/02
Filed: 2000-08-10
Granted: 2003-11-06
Abstract: A nonwoven fabric from spun fibers wherein the density of the spun fibers in the fabric varies between strips of relatively high density and strips of relatively low density. The strips extend along the length of the fabric in the machine direction in an alternating pattern, with the high density strips separated from each other by low density strips. The alternating high density and low density strips provide the fabric with a higher percent elongation in the cross direction than in the machine direction. The alternating pattern is achieved through use of a pattern screen defining a plurality of elongated air permeable regions separated by elongated substantially or relatively air impermeable regions, the elongated regions extending in the machine direction in an alternating pattern, with the air permeable regions separated from each other by the substantially or relatively air impermeable regions.

Title: Lead system for use with an implantable atrial defibrillator
Inventor: ADAMS JOHN M
IPC: A61N1/05
Filed: 1994-08-16
Granted: 1996-05-16
Abstract: An implantable atrial defibrillator provides a pulse of defibrillating electrical energy to the atria of the heart in synchronism with sensed R waves in response to non-coincident sensing of an R wave at first and second areas of the heart. The defibrillating pulse is provided after a predetermined number of consecutive R waves are non-coincidently sensed to assure reliable synchronization. The atrial defibrillator is also operational in a marker mode wherein a number of synchronization marker pulses are delivered to the heart for detection on an externally generated electrocardiogram. The atrial fibrillation detector of the defibrillator is normally disabled and is activated when the sensed ventricular activity indicates a probability of atrial fibrillation to conserve a depletable power source. A plurality of lead systems are also described for use with the atrial defibrillator which reduce the quantity of electrical energy required to defibrillate the heart and ensure that the delivered atrial defibrillating electrical energy is substantially confined to the atria of the heart. <IMAGE>

Title: Frozen carbonated beverage making device
Inventor: FRANK JIMMY I
IPC: F25C1/18
Filed: 1996-09-20
Granted: 1999-11-25
Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for controlling the consistency and quality of a frozen carbonated beverage product made by mixing several ingredients including syrup, water and carbon dioxide in a mixing chamber of a frozen carbonated beverage machine. The apparatus includes a process flow block that controls the flow of the ingredients from ingredient supply sources to the mixing chamber. A pair of transducers are also provided for measuring the pressure of carbon dioxide being injected into the mixing chamber and the pressure of the product in the mixing chamber. A central processing unit communicates the measured pressures to an EPROM which employs an algorithm for determining a low set point pressure value and a high set point pressure value based upon the pressure of carbon dioxide being injected into the mixing chamber. A pair of solenoids are also provided which control the supply of the ingredients into the mixing chamber in response to command signals from the central processing unit. The central processing unit instructs one or both of the solenoids to open so as to supply the mixing chamber with one or more of the ingredients when the pressure in the mixing chamber is below the low set point pressure value and to close so as to cut off the supply of one or more of the ingredients to the mixing chamber when the pressure in the mixing chamber is above the high set point pressure value.
