Abstract: The present invention provides a closed-loop control system for
superficial photoablation of tissue from an exposed stromal surface of an eye
wherein the exposed surface introduces mechanically induced optical
aberrations, said system comprising a source for generating an incising laser
beam for photoablation of tissue from the exposed surface, a source for
generating a diagnostic laser beam, a deformable mirror for directing said
diagnostic laser beam through the exposed stromal surface to a focal spot on
the retina of the eye, a detector for using light from said diagnostic beam
reflected from the retina through the exposed stromal surface to generate an
induced wavefront having characteristics of the mechanically induced optical
aberrations, together with a distorted wavefront having actual real-time
characteristics of the cornea, a compensator for altering a predetermined
desired wavefront by incorporating said induced wavefront therewith to create
a rectified wavefront, a comparator for comparing said rectified wavefront with
said distorted wavefront to create an error signal, a means for reconfiguring
said deformable mirror in accordance with said error signal to maintain a focal
spot on the retina, and a means for ceasing generation of said incising laser
beam when said error signal is a null. 
     The present invention also provides a method for preparing a system
for photoablation of a mechanically exposed stromal surface of an eye
comprising providing the system with a distorted wavefront that has been
determined by previous diagnosis of the eye and a desired wavefront.

Abstract: A radio frequency tuner is provided for selecting channels from a cable distribution
network or other reception system. The tuner has one or more stages (3, 8, 13) whose
performance, such as signal to noise plus intermodulation, and gain are functions of the
stage power consumption. A comparator (35) compares the tuner performance, such as
bit error rate (34), with a predetermined performance. When the tuner performance
exceeds the predetermined performance, a power consumption control circuit (35, 53)
reduces the power consumption of one or more of the stages (3, 8, 13) so as to reduce
the tuner power consumption while maintaining acceptable tuner performance. As an
alternative, the control circuit (35, 53) may have an input (38) which allows the power
consumption to be preset in accordance with the tuner application. The control circuit
(35, 53) also controls a variable gain arrangement (54, 55) to compensate for changes in
gain resulting from changes in power consumption.

Abstract: A position detector includes a position indicator.
Transmission/reception of electromagnetic waves relative to
the position indicator is performed at least twice while the
same loop coil is being selected. With a counter circuit
and a switch circuit, a phase difference less than or equal
to one cycle of a resonant frequency f 0  is added to a signal
in each transmission/reception. The phase of a reception
signal generated at the loop coil is adjusted, and the
phase-adjusted signal is used as a detection clock by a
synchronous detector circuit to perform synchronous
detection. By computing the average or the sum of the
results, external noise in the reception signals is
cancelled out.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus of inserting insert or enclosure material into successive envelopes (2b) are disclosed. According to the envelope inserting method, the insert material is conveyed along a straight path successively to an envelope inserting position where the insert material is inserted into the envelope and the stuffed envelope (2a) is then conveyed out of the inserting position in the same direction as the above straight path. The method includes providing immediately above the envelope inserting position an envelope storage station (5) where a plurality of envelopes (2b) are stored in a stack one above another with the front panel of each of the envelopes (2b) facing upward so that the envelopes in the storage station are fed successively to the envelope inserting position for insertion thereinto of insert material. Feeding of the envelopes is performed by means of vertically disposed rotatable screw-like spiral member (7) located at the downstream side of the envelope storage station (5) as seen in the direction in which the insert material is conveyed. The spiral member (7) has formed in the periphery thereof a spiral groove for receiving therein the bottom edges of the respective envelopes, thereby holding such envelopes at the bottom edges thereof such that the bottom edges are separated one from another. The spiral member (7) is rotatable in such a direction that causes the bottom edges of the envelopes (2) to move downwards with the rotation of the spiral member (7) and then to be released from the holding by the spiral member (7).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a water based
electrolyte used in a hybrid-type capacitor. The hybrid-type
capacitor has an electrolytic anode and an electrochemical
cathode. The difference resides in the electrolyte for this type
of capacitor. The electrolyte has water, a water soluble
inorganic and/or organic acid and/or salt, and a water soluble
nitro-aromatic compound. Such a hybrid capacitor (1) improves
energy density by significantly reducing volume of the separator
and cathode material often used in conventional electrolytic
capacitors and (2) has an electrochemical cathode that undergoes
an electrochemical reduction without generating gassing. For
example, ruthenium oxide, RuO 2 , is reduced to ruthenium
hydroxide, Ru(OH) 2 , when passing a cathodic current. However,
the present invention discovered that without the present
electrolyte, the RuO 2  cathode does generate gassing if it is
sufficiently depleted. The gassing degrades capacitor
performance and even causes failure, which is decreased with the
present electrolyte solution.

Abstract: A non azide gas generant composition of
nitroguanidine and phase stabilized ammonium nitrate
is provided. This gas generant composition has many
desirable characteristics such as little production of
ash and the production of essentially toxic free
exhaust gas. When nitroguanidine is compressed into a
pellet it has needle shaped crystals that bend or
distort. When the gas generant pellets are subjected
to thermal cycling some nitroguanidine crystals will
return to their native conformation resulting in
pellet growth. To eliminate this pellet growth,
nitroguanidine is passed through a VBM mill. The
media in the VBM mill pulverizes the nitroguanidine
