Abstract: Concentric annular ring lens designs are disclosed for astigmatic patients, particularly lens designs which reduce the sensitivity of the patient to toric axis misalignment, thus reducing the required number of stock keeping units in inventory for a toric product. Several of the concentric annular ring lens designs comprise a multifocal concentric annular ring design on either the front or back surface and a toric curve on the reverse surface to correct for astigmatism. Alternating concentric annular rings divide the optical zone of the contact lens into regions having at least two optical powers, a first optical power corresponding to the refractive spherical component of a patient's basic prescription Rx, and a second optical power corresponding to the cylindrical power of a patient's basic prescription Rx, or a portion thereof, with an optional third intermediate optical power, such that the multifocus toric lens is rotationally desensitized because of the enhanced depth-of-field provided by the plurality of concentric annular rings. Some embodiments of the present invention have a spherical front or back surface wherein the opposite surface has a plurality of toric annular rings. Some embodiments of the present invention eliminate a toric surface, prism ballast and slab-off features, and provide spherical optical powers at the basic prescription Rx spherical power, the cylindrical power prescription Rx, and an intermediate optical power intermediate to the spherical and cylindrical optical powers. <IMAGE>

Abstract: For automatically predicting machine failure a transducer sensor, such as piezoelectric crystal, is applied to a machine for sensing machine motion and structure-borne sound, including vibration friction, and shock waves. The structure-borne sound and motion sensed is converted to electrical signals which are filtered to leave only the friction and shock waves, which waves are processed, as by detecting the envelope and integrating beneath the envelope, resulting in a measure of friction and shock wave energy, i.e., stress wave energy. This measure is computed and processed for producing fault progression displays for periodic and aperiodic damage. This is accomplished in a personal computer, menu-driven environment.

Abstract: The genomic structure including the sequence of the intron/exon junctions is disclosed for KVLQT1 and KCNE1 which are genes associated with long QT syndrome. Additional sequence data for the two genes ARE also disclosed. Also disclosed are newly found mutations in KVLQT1 which result in long QT syndrome. The intron/exon junction sequence data allow for the design of primer pairs to amplify and sequence across all of the exons of the two genes. This can be used to screen persons for the presence of mutations which cause long QT syndrome. Assays can be performed to screen persons for the presence of mutations in either the DNA or proteins. The DNA and proteins may also be used in assays to screen for drugs which will be useful in treating or preventing the occurrence of long QT syndrome.
