Inventor: TASSIGNON MARIE-JOSE B R DR
IPC: A61F2/16
Filed: 2000-05-09
Abstract: A new lens design and method of implantation uses the change in pupil diameter of the eye concurrent with the changes induced by a contraction of the ciliary muscle during the accommodative reflex, in order to assist in focusing of nearby objects. This new intraocular lens consists of two parts. The posterior part or haptic part is inserted behind the iris and in front of the natural lens or artificial implant. Its main purpose is to participate in the accommodative mechanism and to prevent excessive lateral movement and luxation of the lens. An anterior or optical part is made of flexible material and is placed before the iris. Its diameter is variable but should be large enough to cover the pupillary margins to some degree under various conditions of natural dilation. The anterior and posterior part of the lens are separated by a compressible circular groove in which the iris will settle. The diameter of this groove is slightly larger than the pupillary diameter measured under normal photopic daylight conditions and for distance vision. Since the pupil becomes smaller in near vision, the iris will exert a slight pressure at the level of the groove of the lens which will cause a progressive and evenly distributed flexing of the anterior part of the intraocular lens, as the diameter of the compressible circular groove slightly decreases. This flexing will induce an increase in refractive power which corresponds to a variable part of the amount necessary for focusing nearby objects.

Abstract: A radio signal that has been received from a channel is equalized by estimating the channel, generating an initial estimate of a DC-offset that has been introduced into the radio signal, and estimating a variance of the initial estimate of the DC-offset. The channel estimate, the initial estimate of the DC-offset and the estimated variance are then used to determine a most likely symbol represented by the radio signal. The initial estimate of the DC-offset that has been introduced into the radio signal may be determined from a training sequence portion of the received signal and a reference training sequence signal. For example, a least squares technique may be used to generate the DC-offset as well as the channel estimate and the variance of the initial estimate of the DC-offset. In an equalizer section, the DC-offset and variance values are taken into consideration when the most likely symbol represented by the radio signal is decided.

Abstract: A device (30) for detecting a position of a moving body
comprises a planetary gear group being operated interlockingly
with the moving body due to moving force transmitted from the
moving body, a swith portion being able to detect a
predetermined position of the moving body due to on-and-off
operation and a clutch mechanism (56, 58, 59) cutting off
transmission of forward direction rotating force from the
moving body to a ring gear (46). Such a device (30) has press-contact
positions of a pair of fixed contacts (60A, 60B; 61A,
61B) against a moving contact (50A, 50B) that are offset from
one another in a radial direction of the ring gear (46) such
that loci of sliding of the fixed contacts (60A, 61A; 60B, 61B)
are respectively different. As a result, the durability or rear
resistance of the moving contact (50A, 50B) and the pair of
fixed contacts (60A, 61A; 60B, 61B) is improved. Accordingly,
high accuracy of position detection and reliability can be
maintained.

Abstract: Data migration is made to be performed in
short time without actual data move and independent
from the capacity of a magnetic disk volume (10a-10d in
Fig. 1). As viewed from an upper hierarchical system,
"new physical drive installation or addition" (80-15,----
80-45 in Fig. 8) can be performed easily, rapidly
and safely. If a physical address is to be changed
after a host generates or updates data in a magnetic
disk volume (80-11, ---- 80-14 in Fig. 8), a service
processor (250) is made to change only a correspondence
between physical and logical addresses (Fig. 3). The
physical address can therefore be changed by retaining
the data written in a magnetic disk. Accordingly, if
there is an idle area in a physical drive (Fig. 8), as
viewed from an upper hierarchical system, "physical
drive installation or addition" can be performed
easily.

modulation method uses a run length limited (RLL)
modulation code applied to write data to an optical
storage medium, the RLL modulation code being expressed as
RLL ( d ,  k, m, n, s ) with  s  = 2 or greater, where  d  is
minimum run length,  k  is maximum run length,  m  is the data
bit length before modulation,  n  is the codeword bit length
after modulation, and  s  is the space length between
codewords. The data modulation and correction methods can
reduce a redundancy in physical address data written to an
optical storage medium with improved detection performance
resistant to disturbance.

block openings. We form second spacer blocks in the spacer block openings.
Plug opening are formed through the raised source / drain (S/D) blocks. Contact
plugs are formed in the form plug opening. The invention's first and second LDD,
contact plugs and elevated S/D regions reduce the Short Channel Effect (SCE).
