Title: Model based detection and compensation of glitches in color measurement systems
Inventor: MESTHA LALIT K
IPC: G01J3/46
Filed: 2002-10-24
Granted: 2010-05-25
Abstract: A color sensor monitors the output of a color producing process and produces a signal representative of a color produced by the color producing process. The signal can be used as feedback signal to control the process. Occasionally, the color sensor signal includes a component representing a transient error. A system model of the color producing process is used to predict reasonable sensor signals. A comparison of the sensor signal with the predicted sensor signals is used to determine if the sensor signal is reasonable. If the sensor signal is unreasonable, a substitute signal is used as the feedback signal to the control process. The substitute signal can be a predicted sensor signal or a signal based on historical system performance data. 19

Title: Alignment system for hand-held ophthalmic device
Inventor: BEVERLY DAVID
IPC: A61B3/12
Filed: 2003-04-04
Granted: 2008-10-14
Abstract: An alignment system for an ophthalmic instrument comprises an optical axis along which an operator can directly view the patient's eye and the patient can fixate on a dark fixation target surrounded by a bright background that helps to illuminate the eye for operator viewing. A position detection system utilizing stored geometrical relationships determined by multiple regression during instrument calibration computes X-Y-Z alignment status of the instrument relative to a patient's eye based on local x-y position information from a pair of lateral detectors receiving corneally reflected light from a corresponding pair of lateral light sources. A heads-up display image is provided along an optical axis of the instrument for supplying instructive cues to an operator for moving the instrument to achieve alignment based on signal information from the position detection system, whereby the operator sees both a direct macro-image of the patient's eye and the display image. The alignment system is particularly suitable for use in hand-held ophthalmic instruments.
