IPC: G02C7/02
Filed: 2001-04-25
Abstract: A method for computing a spectacle lens, which includes a region (distance portion) designed for viewing at large distances and in particular "to infinity", a region (near portion) designed for viewing at short distances and in particular "reading distances," and a progressive zone disposed between the distance portion and the near portion, in which the power of the spectacle lens increases, from a value at a distance reference point located in the distance portion to a value at the near reference point located in the near portion along a curve (principal line) veering towards the nose, by an amount designated as addition power. The method includes the steps of stipulating as initial parameters a course of a projection x0(y) of the principal line on an x,y plane, and also properties of the spectacle lens along the principal line whilst taking into account spherical, cylindrical, and possibly also prismatic prescription values and the addition power, as well as an interpupillary distance, and computing with these stipulations at least one strip of second order on a progressive surface of the spectacle lens, stipulating an object-distance function Al(y) which describes a change of object distance with a movement, in particular a lowering, of a glance, determining on each horizontal meridian of the progressive spectacle lens a point of penetration of a principal ray through the progressive surface, for which point a distance of a point of intersection of this principal ray with a plane which bisects the interpupillary distance is equal to the object distance given by the object-distance function Al(y), computing for the entirety of these points of penetration lying on the principal viewing line a course of the projection x'0(y) on the x,y plane, equating the course x0(y) to x'0(y) and checking the coincidence, subsequently iteratively repeating the steps a. to e. until the projection x0(y) of the principal line is equal (within given limits) to the course of the principal viewing line projection x'0(y) used for the computation of the respective surface.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB90/01766 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 29, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 29, 1992 PCT Filed Nov. 16, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/07302 PCT Pub. Date May 30, 1991.A railway signalling system for the detection of a train within a defined section of track by means of track circuit apparatus utilizes the rails within the section as part of the track circuit. The rails are electrically shunted by the wheels and axles of a railway vehicle of the train in the section. The presence of a train is detected by detecting the change in the shunt impedance between the rails of the track circuit when a train enters the section. To improve the reliability of the track circuit a shunt assist circuit is provided. This shunt assist circuit comprises an inductive loop aerial provided on the railway vehicle so that it is closely coupled, inductively, with the rails, whereby when the loop aerial is energized from an alternating source, a current is induced in the wheel-rail-axle circuit.

Title: Immunologic enhancement with intermittent interleukin-2 therapy
Inventor: LANE H CLIFFORD
IPC: A61P37/04
Filed: 1994-05-19
Abstract: A method for activating a mammalian immune system entails a series of continuous IL-2 infusions that are effected intermittently over an extended period. For example, IL-2 can be administered continuously for a period that is on the order of 5 days in length, and successive infusions of this nature can be separated by a period of at least 4 weeks. Sustained beneficial effects, including elevated CD4 cell counts, restoration of lymphocyte function and an increase in the number of IL-2 receptors, are achieved with such intermittent IL-2 therapy, which can be combined with another therapy which targets a specific disease state, such as an anti-retroviral therapy comprising, for example, the administration of AZT, ddI or interferon alpha.
