Abstract: A method for attaching a polymethylmethacrylate haptic (20) having a colored core to an optic (10) of an intraocular lens, containing the steps of providing the periphery of the optic with a pair of intersecting holes (303,304), inserting an end of the haptic (20) into one hole (303), inserting an end of an polymethylmethacrylate anchor strand (25) having a colored core into the second hole (304) so that the end of the anchor strand and the end of the haptic (20) intersect, aiming a laser capable of a transmitting energy of a visible wavelength at the intersection of the first and second holes (303,304), firing the laser through the optic at the point of intersection of the end of the haptic (20) and the end of the anchor strand (25), wherein the optic transmits, but essentially does not absorb, the laser energy and the core of the anchor strand (25) and the core of the haptic (20) absorb a portion of the laser energy sufficient to fuse the end of the anchor strand and the end of the haptic at their point of intersection. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A filter apparatus has at least three and preferably at least six filters (3) arranged for parallel flow and each having a chamber (17) provided with an inlet (13) and an outlet (15). In the chamber (17), a gas-permeable, regenerable filter element (19), serving for retaining carbon black, and a heating element (21) are located. Each outlet (17) is provided with and/or connected to an individually controllable gas isolation device (23). In operation, a control system (31) connected to the heating elements (21) and gas isolation devices (23) cyclically switches the heating elements (21) on temporarily and controls the gas isolation devices (41) in such a way that the filter elements (19) cyclically filter the exhaust gas passed through them during a filtration phase and are regenerated during a regeneration phase by combustion of the carbon black deposited in them. The exhaust gas from a filter (3) to be regenerated can in this way be heated at low energy consumption to the temperature required for combustion of the carbon black. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An acoustic touch position sensor is shown wherein a transducer coupled to a side of a substrate imparts a shear wave into the substrate that propagates along a first axis. A shear to Lamb wave converting array disposed along the first axis converts the shear wave to Lamb waves propagating along a plurality of parallel paths where each path is associated with a different axial position on the substrate relative to the first axis. The Lamb waves are converted back to shear waves by a Lamb to shear wave converting array disposed along an axis parallel to the first axis, the second converting array being spaced across a touch surface of the substrate from the first array. The shear wave from the second converting propagate to a receiving transducer that provides a signal representative of the waves. A touch on the substrate results in a partial absorption of the energy in the Lamb wave propagating along a path intersection the touch position so as to produce a perturbation therein which is sensed to determine the axial position of the touch on the substrate. In a second embodiment a single transducer and reflective array is provided for each axis, a coordinate on which is to be determined. In a third embodiment of the present invention, a single transducer is provided for two axes.

Abstract: A fault tolerant computer system employing primary tasks and corresponding backup tasks. The system operates to provide fault tolerant operation even where uncontrolled external events may occur whose time of occurrence may affect task performance. For this purpose, external event data is stored for each external event occurring during performance of a primary task which indicates the event type and the relationship between the occurrence of the external event and the occurrence of a predetermined primary task event, such as a memory access operation. This external event data is sent to each respective backup task along with messages transmitted to the respective primary task. In the event a primary task fails, the backup task will replay the failed primary task by processing these transmitted messages while using the transmitted external event data to redeliver each external signal to the backup task at an appropriate time which will assure that the backup task properly recovers the primary task.

A torque ring (63) is mounted in a shift sleeve (34) for limited rotation relative thereto and non-axial movement relative thereto. The ring defines self-energizing ramp surfaces (74a,74b,74c,74d), blocker surfaces (76a,76b,78a,78b), and reaction surfaces (76c,78c). The ring self-energizing ramp surfaces engage self-energizing ramp surfaces (70a,70b,72a,72b) defined on an outer circumference of a hub (32) affixed to the shaft. The ring blocker surfaces engage blocker surfaces (44a,44b,46a,46b) affixed to baulkrings (40,42). The ring reaction surfaces engage reaction surfaces (44c,44d,46c,46d) affixed to the baulkrings. Synchronizing torque produced by friction surfaces is partly reacted across the blocker surface, the remainder is reacted across the reaction surfaces, and the sum of the total synchronizing torque is reacted across the self-energizing ramp surfaces. A shift sleeve (34) is slidably splined to the hub (32) and is moved by an operator shift force (F<sub>o</sub>) and an additive force (F<sub>a</sub>) provided by the self-energizing ramp surfaces. Both forces (F<sub>o</sub> and F<sub>a</sub>) react against the blocker teeth to engage the friction surfaces.
