Patent AU-2016247814-B2 (AU)
Title: High definition and extended depth of field intraocular lens
Inventor: SIMMS JAMES J
IPC: G02C7/02
Filed: 2016-03-11
Granted: 2020-02-20
Abstract: A virtual aperture integrated into an intraocular lens is disclosed. Optical rays which intersect the virtual aperture are widely scattered across the retina causing the light to be virtually prevented from reaching detectable levels on the retina. The use of the virtual aperture helps remove monochromatic and chromatic aberrations yielding high-definition retinal images. For a given definition of acceptable vision, the depth of field is increased over a larger diameter optical zone. In addition, thinner intraocular lenses can be produced since the optical zone can have a smaller diameter. This in turn allows smaller corneal incisions and easier implantation surgery.

Title: Self-heat-dissipation pressure-reducing valve
Inventor: LIU XIUMEI
IPC: F16K1/42
Filed: 2016-11-04
Granted: 2018-11-15
Abstract: A self-heat-dissipation pressure-reducing valve is applicable to petrochemical and coal-chemical equipment used in industrial and mining enterprises, and includes: a heat-dissipation valve core, an upper valve deck, a guiding valve deck, a valve body, a heat-dissipation valve seat, an air guide hood, and a turbine-type heat dissipation device. The heat-dissipation valve core is formed by a valve core composed of a heat pipe, and valve core heat-dissipation fins. The heat-dissipation valve seat includes a valve seat pocket, a valve seat shell, heat pipes, and valve seat heat-dissipation fins. An outer circumferential surface of the valve seat pocket is wound with multiple heat pipes fixed to the valve seat heat-dissipation fins. The turbine-type heat dissipation device includes a fan shell provided at a medium inlet, and a turbine. The turbine is lashed by a medium to turn the fan shell, and wind is guided in one direction through the external air guide hood to implement heat dissipation of the valve core heat-dissipation fins and the valve seat heat-dissipation fins. In addition, because the turbine consumes kinetic energy of the medium, the pressure on the valve is effectively reduced and the service life of the valve core is prolonged. The valve has a simple and compact structure, and can dissipate heat by itself without relying on additional equipment, thus effectively reducing cavitation damage to the valve, prolonging the service life of the valve, and reducing maintenance and repair costs.
