Title: Training enhanced pseudo accommodation methods, systems and devices for mitigation of presbyopia
Inventor: YEE KINGMAN
IPC: A61F9/013
Filed: 2006-05-08
Granted: 2011-11-29
Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for developing prescriptions for and/or treating presbyopia may use a combination of an alteration to the refractive tissues of the eye with changes in the response of the visual system. The visual system response may include using residual accommodation in a manner similar to that employed by latent hyperopes, a trained response of the pupil, trained psychophysics, or the like.

Abstract: L'invention décrit des techniques de réglage de puissance et de transfert. Dans un aspect, le réglage de puissance (PC) est supporté au moyen de modes PC multiples tel qu'un mode PC ascendant-descendant et un mode PC par effacement. Un mode PC peut être sélectionné à des fins d'utilisation. Un moyen de signalisation peut être envoyé pour indiquer le mode PC sélectionné. Si le mode PC ascendant-descendant est sélectionné, une station de base estime alors la qualité du signal reçu pour un terminal et envoie des commandes PC pour que le terminal régle sa puissance de transmission. Si le mode PC par effacement est sélectionné, la station de base envoie alors des indications d'effacement indiquant si les mots codés reçus du terminal sont effacés ou non effacés. Dans les deux modes PC, le terminal règle sa puissance de transmission à partir de la rétroaction du réglage de puissance (p.ex. commandes PC et/ou indications d'effacement) pour atteindre un niveau cible de performance (p.ex. une vitesse d'effacement cible pour les mots codés). Les indications d'effacement peuvent également être utilisées pour le transfert.

Granted: 2013-01-08
Abstract: A quick response system incorporated in a TWACS for mapping an outage in an electrical distribution system with-out having to continuously poll the electrical meters connected to the system. In a primary embodiment of the invention when a fault is sensed to have occurred, the amplitude of the fault is measured to determine if the fault is a medium voltage fault, or a low voltage fault. The pattern of the fault signature and change in load, both before and after the fault, are examined to determine what protective device was triggered by the fault. Using this information, and knowledge of the number and location of electrical meters connected in the distribution system, a population of meters to be polled is determined. By polling the identified population, a map of the extent of the outage is readily determined, and the time to respond to the fault and restore service is reduced.

Abstract: An artificial invasin complex is prepared from purified or recombinantly prepared invasins and gram negative bacteria lipopolysaccharides. Typically, IpaB is mixed with IpaC to form a IpaB:IpaC complex. This invasin protein complex is then mixed with the lipopolysaccharide to form an artificial invasin complex. Additional bioactive molecules can be incorporated into the complex during manufacture. This artificial invasin complex is similar in function to native Invaplex 24 or Invaplex 50. The artificial invasin complex has superior immunogenicity properties relative to the native complex and can be taylor made. Its method of preparation lends itself to scale up. The artificial invasin complex can facilitate transport of biomolecules, therapeutics and antibiotics across cell membranes in a manner similar to native Shigella Invaplex.
