Abstract: The method involves acquiring a curve characteristic (ALPHA100) of a reference lens (100), and determining reference projection distance (R1) between a projection (MO1) of a reference anchoring point (O1) of the lens and a projection (MC1) of a reference drilling point (C1) of a target drilling hole (110). Tri-dimensional distance between the lens anchoring point and the hole drilling point is calculated according to the lens curve characteristic and the determined distance. A position of the hole on a target correction lens is determined based on the tri-dimensional distance.

Abstract: A hot beverage brewing apparatus. A pressurized hot liquid delivery system provides liquid under pressure within a range of acceptable brewing temperatures without any mechanical pump. Water is apportioned into sealable tank volumes, one of which is heated to boil the liquid and produce steam under pressure. The pressurized steam displaces the liquid from the tank volumes in proportion and at a temperature that is within the acceptable brewing range. The hot liquid under pressure is directed to a capsule receiving station to infuse a material in a capsule. The capsule dispenses the brewed beverage without contacting the brewing apparatus.

Abstract: A flexible connector (10) couples the inlet end of a tracheotomy tube inner cannula (11) to an outlet port of an in-line catheter (24). The catheter exit end (17) of the connector is adapted to be serially coupled in pneumatic communication with the inlet end of the tracheotomy tube inner cannula and also to guide the downstream tip (23) of the catheter into the inlet end of the inner cannula in response to pushing of the catheter upstream of the catheter outlet port. Thus, the in-line catheter can be inserted into the tracheotomy tube inner cannula with little likelihood of having to compress or "flip" the connector or disconnect the connector from the tracheotomy tube and the patient from the ventilator circuit.
