Abstract: Provided herein are small diameter inlays for correcting vision impairments by altering the shape of the anterior corneal surface. In an embodiment, inlays having diameters smaller than the pupil are provided for correcting presbyopia. To provide near vision, an inlay is implanted centrally in the cornea to induce an "effective" zone on the anterior corneal surface, within which diopter power is increased. Distance vision is provided by a region of the cornea peripheral to the "effect" zone. In another embodiment, small diameter inlays are provided that induce effective optical zones on the anterior corneal surface that are much larger in diameter than the inlays. The increase in the effective optical zone, due at least in part to a draping effect, allows an inlay to produce a much larger clinical effect on a patient's vision than the diameter of the inlay.

Abstract: An implementation provides a transmitter that separates sequential portions of data in a first set of data by time intervals allowing a power saving mode (1005). The transmitter transmits the sequential portions of data separated by respective time intervals having lengths configured to allow a receiver to enter and exit a power saving mode between receiving sequentially transmitted portions of data from the first set of data (1010). The transmitter separates sequential portions of data in a second set by time intervals that are not of sufficient length to allow a receiver to enter and exit a power saving mode during the time intervals (1015). The second set of data is then transmitted (1020).

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to processes for making a metal oxide composition powder. The powder includes oxides of metals, basic metal or metals, insoluble and soluble metal salts, and combinations thereof. Resultantly, a tightly-adhered coated metal oxide, basic metal, or metal salt composition is formed. By oxidizing the basic metal powder(s) along with other additives such as other basic metal powders, metal oxide powders, and metal salts, the additives are incorporated into the resulting metal oxide composition powder and become part of the tightly adhered coating when substrates are used. The process for formation requires agitation or mixing of the constituents without the need for heating, drying, or added processes, such as calcining or forming of the product for use.  The invention can be used to treat fluid streams whereby the resulting metal oxide composition can react with contaminants in a fluid stream comprised of gasses, liquids, and slurries.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate efficient cell acquisition in a wireless communication system. In one aspect, a reference signal for use in cell acquisition can be constructed in a bandwidth-agnostic manner such that it contains a common central portion in a predetermined frequency band that is independent of a bandwidth utilized by an associated wireless communication system. The central portion can be constructed as a two-dimensional block in time and frequency that spans a default cell search bandwidth, a predetermined bandwidth specified by synchronization codes or other signals, or another suitable bandwidth. A reference signal can then be constructed form the central portion by tiling or expanding the central portion such that it spans the entire system bandwidth.

Abstract: In a conventional electrical power conversion apparatus, a control microprocessor performs a control for eliminating or curbing a beat phenomenon, so that a control delay occurs because computing time is required in the control microprocessor. Because of the control delay, it is not possible to obtain an effect of sufficiently reducing a current ripple and torque pulsation. In addition, in an electric train in which a frequency of an AC power source is changed over while the train is running, it is required for a method of detecting a ripple component by a band-pass filter that a plurality of band-pass filters are provided and then the changeover is performed depending on the power source frequency, resulting in difficulties to take countermeasures. An electrical power conversion apparatus according to the present invention stores DC voltage values at predetermined sampling time-points going back from the latest, and predicts a DC voltage estimate value for a predetermined elapse time from the latest sampling time-point using the stored DC voltage values, whereby using the predicted DC voltage estimate value, an amplitude and/or a frequency of AC power that an inverter outputs is controlled so as to curb variation of the AC power that the inverter outputs, due to a ripple caused on the DC side of the inverter.
