Title: Systeme de prisme rempla able pour tonometre a applanation
Inventor: FALCK FRANCIS Y JR
IPC: A61B3/16
Filed: 1998-12-17
Abstract: L'invention concerne un tonomètre à applanation doté d'un prisme remplaçable destiné à entrer en contact avec la cornée, le tonomètre comportant des orifices d'émission et de détection disposés à l'opposé l'un de l'autre sur des côtés opposés d'un axe longitudinal et les orifices étant orientés à environ 45° par rapport à l'axe longitudinal. Une lumière provenant d'un émetteur passe par l'orifice d'émission et traverse l'axe du prisme pour être incidente sur une surface de réflexion d'émetteur du prisme par laquelle elle est réfléchie pour être incidente sur la surface d'applanation. Une lumière réfléchie par la surface d'applanation est incidente sur une surface de réflexion de détecteur et est réfléchie par cette surface, qui est opposée et parallèle à la surface de réflexion d'émetteur, pour traverser l'axe du prisme et atteindre l'orifice de détection. Ce montage permet d'obtenir des signaux d'applanation fiables et de varier l'intensité spatiale d'une lumière réfléchie par la surface d'applanation de sorte que le tonomètre puisse automatiquement établir une distinction entre un contact concentrique et un contact excentrique de la surface d'applanation avec une cornée.

Abstract: The invention features a novel method of assaying glycated hemoglobin (GHb) in a sample using a capture molecule e.g. haptoglobin that binds GHb and hemoglobin (Hb), and detecting bound GHb with a molecule that distinguishes GHb from non-glycated hemoglobin (Hb). The molecule used to distinguish GHb from Hb may be an antibody. The assay and antibodies of the invention are useful for the evaluation of GHb in disease states such as diabetes.

Abstract: A phosphor is provided that has a host material that is doped with a dopant
having the chemical structure XCl 3 , where X is a rare earth element or combination of
elements. A free oxygen contributor is also added to provide the free oxygen necessary
to activate the rare earth dopant. The processing of the phosphor includes the heating
of the phosphor in an overpressure environment of zinc, cadmium or tellurium. The
heating is done in a two-temperature zone enclosed environment, so that impurities in
the phosphor powder are condensed out on the cooler surface. Alternatively, the
dopant may be a material that is not a rare earth element, such as copper, tellurium,
cadmium, silver, potassium, manganese, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium.

Abstract: A roof, especially for a motor vehicle, is produced separately from the vehicle body and has an inner shell (2) forming a roof lining whose outer edges lie on the body. The inner shell (2) is divided into two layers (5, 6), the upper layer (5) lying on the upper side of the body (4) and the lower layer (6) extending beyond the edges of the roof area. For ease of location in an opening in the body (4) the extended edges of the lower layer (6) are turned downwards and when the roof is located are used to clad the inner side of the bodywork. In an alternative design the inner shell (2) has external rigid roof skin (1) whose outer edges lie on the body (4) while an area of the inner shell not in contact with the skin extends beyond the roof area and is similarly turned downwards for easy location in the roof opening. In a further design the inner shell forms a roof lining separate from a rigid roof skin and is bent downwards prior to fitting in the body opening. After location the lining can be used to clad both the underside of the bodywork and the sliding roof frame. Also claimed is a process for mounting the vehicle roof on a vehicle body involving (a) folding down the corners of the extended edges of the inner shell (2) or lower layer of the latter; (b) locating the roof in the body opening and attaching the outer edges to the body (4); and (c) locating the downward-folded edges on the inward facing side of the body and fastening in position.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly (20) for use in
connecting portable electronic devices, such a cellular
telephones, to the electrical system of a motor vehicle. The
electrical connector assembly (20) includes a plug connector
(30) that can be attached to a cord for connection to the

(60) is permanently mounted in the motor vehicle and is
attached to an automotive wiring harness. The receptacle
connector (60) includes a terminal position assurance member
(110) that forms a front cover of the receptacle connector
(60) when properly positioned. Primary terminal latches
securing receptacle terminals (62) in a housing (74) of the
receptacle connector (60) are exposed on the top and bottom
surfaces of the housing (74) and prevent full seating of the
assurance member (110) on the housing (74) when any receptacle
terminals are not correctly latched into the housing (74).
Terminals (62) can therefore be positioned on the relatively
close centerlines characteristic of electrical connectors used
with portable electronic devices.

Abstract: An ignition apparatus for a boiler capable of preventing a
wrong operation of a control circuit is provided. In the
ignition apparatus for a boiler, a sparking plug performs an
igniting operation of the gas supplied into the burner. Spark
plug has an insulator mounted to a back wall of the combustion
chamber and two leads extending from both ends of the
insulator. A high voltage transformer generates a high voltage
necessary to ignite the burner and applies the high voltage to
the spark plug. Two connecting terminals are formed at one end
of high voltage transformer. Two leads are inserted into two
connecting terminals. A driver is mounted to the control
circuit in such a way that the driver is connected to the spark
plug and drives the spark plug. A wire connects the high
voltage transformer and the driver. A power supply is mounted
to a control circuit in such a way that the power supply is
electrically connected to the driver and supplies power to the
driver in order to control an operation of the driver.
According to the ignition apparatus, discharge noise of a high
voltage generated in a high voltage cable according to the
conventional ignition apparatus does not affect the control 
circuit to thereby prevent a wrong operation of the control
circuit.

Abstract: A carrier recovery, symbol timing, and carrier phase tracking systems and methods suitable for use in connection with a dual-mode QAM/VSB receiver system. In-phase signals are sampled twice a symbol at the in-phase symbol sampling time and at the quadrature-phase symbol sampling time. The signals are de-multiplexed to generate I and X<SUB>I </SUB>data streams, where I represents the in-phase sampling time signals and X<SUB>I </SUB>represents mid-symbol point sample times. A similar procedure is carrier out on quadrature-phase signals. When the in-phase signal is de-multiplexed to generate a symbol I, the quadrature-phase signal is de-multiplexed to generate its mid-symbol point X<SUB>Q</SUB>. Both I and Q are decoded to define a symbol error term, which is combined with the opposite mid-symbol signal to define a phase error term P<SUB>I </SUB>and P<SUB>Q </SUB>for each rail.
