Title: Adaptive wavefront modulation system and method for ophthalmic surgery
Inventor: PETTIT GEORGE
IPC: G16H70/20
Filed: 2002-12-17
Abstract: A method for optimizing a prescription for laser-ablation corneal treatment or ophthalmic implant includes the steps of receiving a measured correction prescription for a current patient having a classification element associated therewith, the prescription having been measured using wavefront determination. A database of treatment outcomes on a plurality of previously treated patients is accessed, each treated patient outcome having associated therewith at least one classification element and comprising a preoperative wavefront-determined correction prescription and a postoperative visual profile. From the treatment outcomes in the database is calculated an average difference between the preoperative prescription and the postoperative profile for at least some of the previously treated patients having a classification element in common with the current patient. Finally the current patient correction prescription is adjusted commensurate with the calculated average difference to form an optimized prescription.

Title: Rankine cycle system
Inventor: ENDOH TSUNEO
IPC: F01K1/00
Filed: 2001-09-04
Abstract: An expansion ratio of steam sucked and exhausted by an expander (4) is set to a specified expansion ratio (e) according to the specified relationship between the pressure (Pevp) and the temperature (Tevp) of steam sucked by the expander (4) provided with a front-stage cylinder room and a rear-stage vane room that are serially arranged, thereby making the pressure (Pexp2) and the temperature (Texp2) of steam exhausted from the expander (4) agree with target values to thereby deliver maximum performances of the expander (4) and a condenser (5). Since steam in the front-stage cylinder room is in a superheated steam area and does not contain water, no water hammering occurs in the cylinder room. In addition, steam at the outlet of the vane room is in a saturated steam area and contains water, the water can be used to lubricate and seal the vane room.

Title: Multi-channel bio-separation cartridge
Inventor: MOONEY PAUL
IPC: B03C5/00
Filed: 2002-01-28
Abstract: A bio-separation system using an efficient, compact, portable, interchangeable, reusable, recyclable, multi-channel cartridge, has integrated pre-aligned optics and an integrated reagent reservoir. The cartridge supports, for example, multiple capillaries for CE separation. An integrated reservoir containing a separation support medium (e.g., a gel buffer) is common to all capillaries. The chemistry of the medium and the characteristics of the capillaries (e.g., capillary size, coating and length) are defined for each cartridge. Different cartridges can be easily interchanged in the bio-separation system to suit the particular sample based separation. The reservoir is coupled to an air pressure pump that pressurizes the gel reservoir to purge and fill the capillaries with buffer as the separation support medium. In another aspect of the present invention, optics requiring fine alignment with respect to the detection zones (such as fiber optics for directing incident radiation and/or radiation emissions) are integrated into the cartridge.

Abstract: A method is provided in which a correlation is made between a parameter indicating modification of a sampled malt in a germination process in which barley is germinated, and an ESR signal intensity of the sampled malt. The parameter is determined, in advance, by general analytical methods including chemical analytical methods.  The ESR signal intensity is determined by measuring a peak height of spectrum of the sampled malt at a g value at which an unpaired electron derived from a carbon radical is resonant. The ESR signal intensity is a ratio of the measured peak height of spectrum to a peak height of spectrum of a reference, per a unit weight of the sampled malt. The modification state of the sampled malt can be evaluated based on the ESR signal intensity determined by electron spin resonance spectrometry. Kohlbach index, Hartong index at 45°C, diastatic power, .beta.-glucan content, viscosity, and friability may be used as the parameter.
