Abstract: A method of correcting or alleviating presbyopia in humans comprising (a) fitting a first contact lens to a first eye, and (b) fitting a second contact lens to the other eye. Each of the lenses has a first power provided by the shape, curvature and material of the lens to provide a refractive corrected image and a second power provided by diffractive means to provide a second corrected image, the second power being additive to (or subtracted from) the first power. The lenses are fitted so that one has a refractive near image optical power and the other has a refractive distance image optical power, and the diffractive means of the lenses are arranged so that the amount of the light directed into the near image by one lens is substantially greater than that directed into the far image by that lens, and the amount of light directed into the far image by the other lens is substantially greater than that directed into the near image by that other lens. In this way the wearer sees an image of relatively high intensity and retains a large amount of stereoscopic vision. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concernée fournit un signal d'entraînement pour le moteur d'une pompe péristaltique (42). Un premier circuit génère une première série d'impulsions (SF) à une fréquence donnée. Un deuxième circuit génère une deuxième série d'impulsions (M4) dont la fréquence est supérieure à celle de la première série d'impulsions. Un troisième circuit génère une troisième série d'impulsions (M3A) dont la fréquence se situe entre celles de la première série (SF) et de la deuxième série (M4) d'impulsions pour donner une signal d'entraînement (M3). La longueur du signal d'entraînement est déterminée par la fréquence de la première série d'impulsions (SF). Le signal d'entraînement est ensuite divisé en deux parties, une phase d'impulsions initiales déterminée par la fréquence de la troisième série d'impulsions (M3A), et une phase d'impulsions modulées qui est une série d'impulsions déterminées par la fréquence de la deuxième série d'impulsions (M6).

Abstract: A launderable prosthetic device for camouflaging missing or deformed human body mass or parts comprises a plurality of layers which are sized, shaped and interconnected to form a composite structure that, when partially compressed, assimilates the size, shape and resiliency of the camouflaged body mass. A soft inner liner provides an interface between the composite structure and the human body surface and a smooth outer shield liner provides an interface between the composite structure and an abutting outer garment. The liners are joined to enclose the composite structure and cooperate to maintain the composite structure in a partially compressed state. Randomly spaced openings in the layers provide ventilation for the body surface abutting the prosthetic device. In one embodiment of the device, the layers are progressively sized laterally larger and opposite sides of each of the layers are joined to respective sides of the other layers so as to form a bowed construction adapted to fit a curved surface of a user.

Date Oct. 17, 1991.The bit and frame synchronization unit (51) serves for the synchronization of an access node to the bit stream running along an optical fiber. The unit (51) comprises an optical switching element (57) which can be controlled electrically and serves as a light switch. It further comprises a sequence generator (75) for electrically controlling the switching element (57), a clock generator (72), an optoelectrical transducer (60), an electrical integrator (63), a regulator and evaluator (66) and a control unit (69). In addition, there is a coarse regulator (48). An optical bit pattern (BM) occurs periodically at the input (53), an equivalent electrical comparison pattern (VM) assigned to the latter occurs at the control input (44). The level of the resultant electrical voltage pulse U at the output (64) of the integrator (63) is a measurement for the respective relative phase deviation during approximate synchronous running. There is a sharp pulse maximum during absolute synchronous running. The unit (51) serves for the simultaneous synchronization of the bit and frame clock.

Abstract: Unused towel rolled up in a shell (4) is guided between a roller (38) and a tracer (40) for detecting the towel end and via a transport roller (6a), forms a loop and runs via a transport roller (6b) to a roller (13) guided in slots (14a,b) and intended for receiving used towel. To ascertain whether the loop is being used or not, there is a movement sensor (20) with a bar (22) which is suspended rotatably about a horizontal axis and to which is attached a batten (23) via which the towel (5) is guided. Clamped in the bar (22) is the upper end of a piezoelectric element which at its lower end is clamped between parts connected to a sensor housing (21). Since a distinction can be made between use and non-use, it is possible for released unused towel to be retracted again. Various programs can be selected for operating the towel dispenser, and in particular the loop can be formed from unused and used towel or only from unused towel.

Abstract: Countercurrent liquid/liquid extraction processse for fractionating complex triglyceride mixtures to selectively remove "light" impurities (primarily MMM trglycerides) from MML/MLM triglycerides, or to selectively remove MML/MLM triglycerides from "heavy" impurities (primarily MLL/LML and LLL triglycerides), wherein M is a C6-C10 fatty acid residue or mixture thereof, and wherein L is a C18-C24 fatty acid residue or mixture thereof, are disclosed. In the case of "light" impurities, an oil stream containing MMM and MML/MLM triglycerides is passed countercurrently to a solvent stream containing a polar solvent or a supercritical fluid that is partially miscible with the oil stream to selectively remove the MMM triglycerides. In the case of "heavy" impurities, an oil stream containing MML/MLM, MLL/LML and LLL triglycerides is passed countercurrently to the solvent stream to selectively remove the MML/MLM triglycerides.

Abstract: Un mécanisme de compression/décompression d'imagerie couleur utilise un modèle de fonction de sensibilité au contraste du système visuel humain pour des images couleur, afin de dériver des valeurs de normalisation utilisées pour comprimer des composantes chromatiques des données d'imagerie couleur. Le modèle FSC est défini en termes de transformation d'espace couleur ADT (15), dont les canaux chromatiques se conforment à la sensibilité limitée par bande du système visuel. La transformation permettant d'obtenir les composantes ADT peut être exécutée à l'aide d'opérateurs logiques de complexité réduite. Chacune des composantes ADT est codée par transformation en bloc à l'aide de coefficients de transformation TCD (18) normalisés (24) selon un modèle FSC (42) 'pondéré' (46, 45) du système visuel humain, lequel procède efficacement à un filtrage passe-bas des canaux chromatiques (DT). Cette pondération par filtrage passe-bas des valeurs de normalisation dans l'extrémité de compression de l'émetteur (10) du système produit un ensemble de coefficients normalisés rendant efficacement floue l'image et réduisant l'entropie dans les canaux chromatiques, et il peut être mis en ÷uvre à l'aide d'une fonction Gaussienne. Dans le processus de décompression au niveau du récepteur (14), un ensemble correspondant de coefficients de dénormalisation (32), lesquels sont générés selon le même modèle FSC chromatique du système visuel humain, ne sont pas pondérés, de sorte que la disposition en cascade des opérateurs de normalisation et de dénormalisation dans l'émetteur et le récepteur produisent un produit inférieur à l'unité, simulant l'effet réducteur d'entropie de sous-échantillonnage.

Abstract: A transactional processing system is used in conjunction with a transmitting source. The system allows for real-time authorization of payments for a plurality of products and services made available by the transmitting source. A video menu is sent to a receiver representing a list of the available products and services. The receiver contains a credit or debit card reader and transmits financial account information, as well as the selection from the menu, via a modem to a payment processor. The payment processor verifies the programming selection and account information and transmits an authorization signal to the vendor or service provider. The payment processor would verify financial account information and forward payment authorization to a financial institution. The vendor, in turn sends the selected product to the consumer upon receiving payment from the financial institution.
