Patent EP-0032938-A4 (EP)
Title: Visual acuity measuring device.
Inventor: YANCEY DON R
IPC: A61B3/12
Filed: 1981-02-09
Abstract: The problem is that available automatic objective visual acuity measuring devices are not practical for mass vision testing since they are complex in nature, having considerable electronics and lens systems, and, therefore, expensive. The present invention by eliminating complex lens systems, complicated mechanics and extensive electronics is simple to operate and inexpensive. A visual acuity device measures the visual acuity of a patient's eye (12) by directing a pulsating beam of light (10) on the eye and detecting the resulting reflection. A primary pattern (22) having a pattern formed by transparent and non-transparent portions is positioned in the optical path of the pulsating beam of light. A fixed pair of analyzer or secondary patterns (34 and 36) is positioned in the optical path of the beam of light reflected from the patient's eye. One (34) of these analyzer or secondary patterns has a pattern which substantially corresponds to the pattern of the primary fixation pattern and the other (36) has a pattern which is negative mirror image of the pattern of the first analyzer or secondary pattern. The beam of light reflected from the patient's eye is divided by a beam splitter (32) so that each of the analyzer patterns receives the reflected image of the primary pattern from the patient's eye. A photoelectric device (42 and 44) is associated with each of the analyzer patterns for detecting the reflected beam of light passing through each of these analyzer patterns to generate an electrical output signal. The photoelectric devices are connected to a difference amplifier (58) for eliminating any glare and generating a signal which is determinative of the visual acuity of the patient's eye. Far visual acuity can be measured by using infrared light adding a collimating (52) and compensating (54) lens. Thus, the visual acuity device objectively measures both far and near visual acuity.

Title: Ink jet printer.
Inventor: THOMAS JACOB EARL
IPC: G01D15/18
Filed: 1981-02-11
Abstract: Ink jet printer (10) having a rotatable ink reservoir (12) for supplying ink to a print head (52) through a capillary ink supply line (48), which print head (52) is movable in rotary direction and is adapted to eject ink droplets on to a record medium (72) as the head (52) is moved past the record medium (72). The ink reservoir (12) has two cavities (28, 30), one of which (30) is connected to the print head (52) by the ink supply line (48). Valve means (36, 40, 42) are provided between the cavities (28, 30) to control the flow of ink therebetween such that ink is free to flow between the cavities (28, 30) when the ink reservoir (12) is at rest, but is prevented from flowing, due to centrifugal force, upon rotation of the ink reservoir (12). By virtue of this arrangement a major proportion of the total ink in the reservoir (12) is isolated from the ink supply line (48) during rotation of the reservoir (12), whereby a sufficient negative head is maintained at said print head (52) for proper operation of the printer (10).

Abstract: Apparatus for sorting material, for example, fibrous material, as it is pneumatically conveyed in a gas stream includes a duct (12) for the gas stream, and a monitoring station (18, 19) for illuminating the material as it passes in the duct, and for monitoring the intensity of light reflected by the material. There is a lateral opening (22) in the duct, and means (20) responsive to a predetermined change in the intensity caused by a portion of material of darker or lighter shade to deflect such portion through the lateral opening (22). The monitoring station (18, 19) comprises an array (25a, 25b) of substantially monochromatic light sources (26) arranged to illuminate the interior of the duct through a transparent window (27) in the duct, whereby to achieve a substantially uniform diffuse illumination of the passing material in the duct, and a detector (28) responsive to a change in the intensity of reflected light arising from the passage of a portion of the material of darker or lighter shade to generate an output signal which reflects this change. In an alternative construction, any parameter of the material may be monitored and there is means (26) responsive to a predetermined change in the monitored parameter, caused by any specific portions of the material, to discharge a gas pulse transversely of the duct. The pulse is timed and positioned so as to deflect the portion of material through the lateral opening (22). The opening (22) extends across substantially the full width of the duct (12) and is dimensioned to be large enough to accept portions of the material deflected by the gas pulse but not large enough to capture other material in the absence of the pulse.
