Abstract: A method for performing concurrent spherical and cylindrical corrections to the corneal surface of the eye to reduce myopia and astigmatism. A laser beam irradiates the corneal surface via a variable diameter iris and a slot produced by a pair of translatable blades. The width of the slot and the diameter of the iris are varied as the laser is pulsed to produce a toric ablation of the corneal surface. Alternatively, the laser beam is passed through a succession of apertures in a tilted variable aperture element to produce toric ablation. The total number of laser pulses required to effect both types of correction is equal to the number required for the spherical correction alone, reducing the laser power and the procedure time. The toric ablation produces no steep end walls as with standard cylindrical ablation procedures, thereby eliminating hyperopic shift and minimizing flattening along the ablated cylinder axis. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system (10) and methods of use for determining the level of a body of liquid (16) in a storage tank, irrespective of the specific gravity of that liquid. The system (10) comprises a pressure transducer (22) and an elongated tubular, flexible sheath (24). An operating liquid (26) of lower specific gravity than the body of liquid (16) is disposed within the sheath (24). The transducer (22) is also disposed within the sheath adjacent the bottom end. The sheath (24) is immersed in the body of liquid (16) so that its top end (28) is above the surface of the liquid. The pressure applied to the sheath (24) by the liquid (16) causes the sheath to collapse to a reduced internal cross sectional area. whereupon the operating liquid migrates up the sheath to form a very thin column (44). The operating liquid forming a pool (46) is located at the top of the very thin column (44). Thus the sheath expands outward adjacent the surface (16A) of the body of liquid to retain that pool. The pressure transducer provides a signal representing the pressure applied thereto by the combined height of the operating liquid column (44) and the operating liquid pool (46). This signal may be used to calculate the height of the body of liquid (16). An air vent (52) may be provided to vent the transducer to compensate for atmospheric pressure changes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for producing a mirror-finished directional electric sheet having a high magnetic flux density by conducting the smoothening (mirror finishing) of a steel sheet boundary, which is necessary for achieving ultralow core loss, in a finish annealing furnace, which process comprises the steps of conducting decarburizing annealing, removing the oxide layer present on the surface of a steel sheet by pickling, and coating the resultant surface with an annealing/separating agent comprising a substance which does not react or difficulty reacts with SiO2 to conduct finish annealing. The core loss can be reduced by subdividing magnetic domains and applying tension coating. The finish annealing step can dispense with hydration time, so that it can be completed in a shorter time.
