Title: Laser sculpting method and system
Inventor: GRAY GARY P
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1995-04-18
Abstract: A method and system are provided for eroding or ablating a shaped volume of an eye's corneal tissue (10) in accordance with the treatment of a specified eye condition. To determine the laser beam shot pattern, a plurality of laser beam shots of uniform intensity are first selected to form a uniform shot pattern of uniform shot density. The laser beam shots applied in accordance with the uniform shot pattern of uniform shot density would be capable of eroding a volume of the corneal tissue (10) of uniform height. The volume of uniform height is approximately equivalent to that of the shaped volume the laser beam shots are applied to the corneal tissue in a spatially distributed pattern spread over an area approximately equivalent to the surface area of the shaped volume to be eroded. The spatially distributed pattern extends the uniform shot pattern in fixed angles from a reference position on the shaped volume representative of the shaped volume's axis of symmetry. Shot density for the laser beam shots changes in correspondence with distance from the reference position.

Title: Lotioned tissue paper
Inventor: KLOFTA THOMAS JAMES
IPC: D21H17/20
Filed: 1995-05-23
Abstract: A lotion composition for imparting a soft, lubricious, lotion-like feel when applied to tissue paper in amounts as low as from about 5 to about 15% by weight, and tissue paper treated with such lotion compositions are disclosed.

Title: Hybrid time-slot and sub-time-slot operation in a time-division multiplexed system
Inventor: SMITH MICHAEL A
IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 1997-07-17
Abstract: A port circuit for a time-division multiplexed (TDM) switching system is designed to effect sub-time-slot operation without external support, as well as to effect conventional time slot operation. A clock-frequency multiplier, such as a frequency-multiplexed phase-lock loop (PLL), and a multiplier-driven sub-time-slot operation circuit, such as a PLL-driven finite state machine, are incorporated into the port circuit. The clock-frequency multiplier and the sub-time-slot operation circuit generate all the additional control signals that are necessary to define sub-time-slots and to effect multiple information transfers in a single time slot. The port circuit engages in conventional time slot transfers with conventional port circuits, whereby it is compatible therewith, and engages in sub-time-slot transfers with other sub-time-slot enabled port circuits, whereby it increases the transfer throughput of the TDM switching fabric. The sub-time-slot operation is selectively enabled and disabled on a per- time-slot basis.

Title: Apparatus and method for loading ice into storage bin
Inventor: RUTCHIK JEFFREY ALAN
IPC: F25C5/18
Filed: 1997-09-10
Abstract: The present invention concerns a combination ice chute and ice bin covering door for directing ice into the ice storage area of an ice or beverage dispenser. The ice chute cover is pivotally secured to a top surface of the beverage dispenser so that it can move from a closed position to an ice directing/loading position. In the closed position the ice chute cover serves to cover an opening to the ice storage area of the dispenser. A handle on the chute cover can be grasped to manually swing it between both positions. In the ice loading position a portion of the chute extends outward of the perimeter of the beverage dispenser, In operation, the handle is used to move the chute cover from the closed position to the loading position. A bucket of ice can then be lifted so that the open end thereof rests on the lip of the chute cover. The bucket can then be tipped upward so as to empty its ice contents onto the bottom surface of the chute cover. The ice then flows along the bottom surface and is directed thereby towards the back edge, where it then falls into the ice retaining area of the dispenser.
