Granted: 2016-07-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a progressive ophthalmic lens and to a method of producing one such lens. Variations in the optical power and the astigmatism of a progressive ophthalmic lens (10) result from (i) spherical and cylindrical variations in the anterior face (2) of the lens and (ii) variations in another physical unit of the lens. In this way, it is possible to customise the design of the progressive lens as a function of at least one behavioural characteristic of the lens wearer. Said customisation can be repeated by modulating the values of the physical unit between the different points of the lens. As a result, progressive lenses with different designs can be obtained from identical semi-finished lenses. The physical unit can comprise the sphere and the cylinder of the posterior face of the lens (3).

Abstract: Array Temperature Sensing (ATS) enables monitoring temperatures along a length of a well by placing sensors at desired locations along a waveguide disposed in the well. A challenge to using an ATS system involves the packaging of the sensors such that they are responsive to the temperature of their surroundings, but are free from, or insensitive to, strain changes over their lifetime. Methods and apparatus provided herein enable monitoring conditions in a well-bore using multiple cane-based sensors, such that they are responsive to the temperature of their surroundings. The apparatus includes a plurality of sensors disposed along a length of an optical waveguide and a conduit surrounding and spanning the length of the waveguide, wherein the sensors are disposed within enlarged outer diameter portions of the waveguide relative to an interconnecting portion of the waveguide between the sensors.
