Inventor: LEVINE ROBERT E
IPC: A61B3/10
Filed: 2006-02-06
Abstract: A hand held device for examining a patient's retina. In one example, the device generates visible or non-visible illuminating beams having desired spectral content. The illuminating beams are then polarized to generate polarized light beam(s) that are directed towards the patient's retina. At the patient's eye, a portion of the polarized beam is partially reflected by the cornea and travels back to the device, and another portion of the polarized beam enters the eye through the undilated pupil, illuminates the patient's retina, and generates a reflected retinal image (generally de-polarized) which also travels back to the device. The device receives the retinal image and transmits certain portions of the retinal image on through to an image detector (i.e., CCD or CMOS); and the device deflects the received polarized corneal reflections away from the image capture device. Hence, the image capture device receives retinal images but does not receive the polarized corneal reflected light.

Patent CA-2622099-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PECONE VICTOR KEY
IPC: G06F1/30
Filed: 2006-06-23
Abstract: A storage controller has a capacitor pack for storing energy to supply power during a main power loss, a temperature sensor that senses the capacitor pack temperature, and a CPU, which detects that the temperature of the capacitor pack has risen above a predetermined threshold while operating at a first voltage value and determines whether a projected lifetime of the capacitor pack is less than the warranted lifetime. If the projected lifetime is less than the warranted lifetime, the CPU reduces the operating voltage of the capacitor pack to a second value, in order to increase the capacitor pack lifetime. In one embodiment, the CPU reduces the voltage if an accumulated normalized running time of the capacitor pack is greater than an accumulated calendar running time. In another embodiment, the CPU reduces the voltage if a percentage capacitance drop of the capacitor pack is greater than a calendar percentage capacitance drop.

Abstract: A hybrid electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure for broadband suppression of noise on printed wiring boards includes an array of coplanar patches interconnected into a grid by series inductances, and a corresponding array of shunt LC networks connecting the coplanar patches to a second conductive plane. This combination of series inductances and shunt resonant vias lowers the cutoff frequency for the fundamental stopband. The series inductances and shunt capacitances may be implemented using surface mount component technology, or printed traces. Patches may also be interconnected by coplanar coupled transmission lines. The even and odd mode impedances of the coupled lines may be increased by forming slots in the second conductive plane disposed opposite to the transmission line, lowering the cutoff frequency and increasing the bandwidth of the fundamental stopband. Coplanar EBG structures may be integrated into power distribution networks of printed wiring boards for broadband suppression of electromagnetic noise.

Abstract: A sweep opener for pulling on an agricultural implement in a forward working direction features a central body and a sweep comprising a pair of wings proximate a bottom end of the central body and projecting laterally outward therefrom and rearward away from the front end. A delivery channel extends downward to an outlet proximate the bottom end of the central body and ahead of a connection element defined on the central body for coupling with a shank of the agricultural implement. Seed delivered through the channel is thus released in front of the shank to avoid seed delivery interference by soil falling back into the furrow behind the shank. Inserts fixed to front edges of the wings reduce wear and tear to the wings themselves to improve the lifespan of the sweep.
