Abstract: A corneal surgical apparatus for incising a cornea of a
patient's eye in a layered form includes: a blade; a rotating
shaft; a bearing rotatably supporting the rotating shaft; a
transmitting mechanism which converts rotation of the rotating
shaft about a rotation center axis into oscillation in a direction

oscillation to the blade; and a preventing mechanism which
prevents moisture component from penetrating or infiltrating into
a clearance between the rotating shaft and the bearing by
controlling the rotation of the rotating shaft.

Abstract: A method for preserving color information in a black and white version of a
color image includes the analysis of the color image. The analysis comprises a search for
conflicting colors. Conflicting colors are colors that are normally transformed to the same
gray level in a black and white version of the image. One embodiment, working in a
CIELAB color space includes the use of a three dimensional histogram for detecting
predominant colors having the same luminance. Such colors are classified as conflicting
colors. Modulations are added to the gray scale versions of conflicting colors in order to
make them distinguishable. Modulation is only applied to conflicting colors thereby
minimizing any deleterious effect and allowing the method to be applied in a "walk up
mode" of an image processor. An image processor operative to perform the method
includes an image analyzer operative to find and classify conflicting colors in the color
image, and a gray scale modulator operative to add modulations to gray scale versions of
only the conflicting colors within a gray scale version of the color image.

Abstract: An audible warning device e.g. for a fire alarm system is
arranged to generate an audible output signal having a first
frequency 1/T1 and comprises an audible output transducer 10
and a driver circuit 12 for applying an alternating drive
signal, having a second and higher frequency 1/T2, to the
transducer 10 over successive distinct periods, the frequency
of the periods being equal to the first frequency 1/T1. The
(second) frequency at which the transducer 10 is driven is at
or near the resonant frequency of the transducer 10. However,
the (second) frequency signal is only applied in successive
distinct periods at the (first) lower frequency and thus the
transducer appears to produce an audible output signal at this
lower frequency. 
     There is also disclosed a method of tuning the a
transducer to output an audible output signal at the (first)
lower frequency by determining the (second) frequency at which
the audible output of the transducer is high and driving the
transducer 10 with a drive signal at the determined (second)
frequency over successive distinct periods, the frequency of
the periods being equal to the desired (first) frequency.

Abstract: An adaptive plasma characterization system and method characterize a semiconductor
plasma process using fuzzy logic and neural networks. The method includes the step of
collecting input and output training data (22), where the input training data is based on variables
associated with electrical power used to control a plasma chamber and results from execution
of the plasma process. The method further includes the step of generating (26) fuzzy logic-based
input and output membership functions (28) based on the training data. The membership functions
enable estimation of an output parameter value of the plasma process, such that the
membership functions characterize the plasma process with regard to the output parameter.
Modifying the membership functions based on a neural network learning algorithm and output
data provides ability to learn. Thus, etching process parameters such as etch rate, end point
detection, and chamber maintenance can all be characterized in a manner that allows the
system to operate autonomously.
