| 20120042214 | METHOD FOR DETECTING THE IMPENDING ANALYTICAL FAILURE OF NETWORKED DIAGNOSTIC CLINICAL ANALYZERS - A method of detecting impending analytical failure in a networked diagnostic clinical analyzer is based upon detecting whether the operation of a particular analyzer is statistically distinguishable based on one or more thresholds. A failure occurs when one or more components or modules of the analyzer fails. A method to detect such an impending failure is disclosed. Baseline data on a pre-selected set of analyzer variables for a population of diagnostic clinical analyzers is used to generate an impending failure threshold. Subsequently, operational data comprising the same pre-selected set of analyzer variables allows generation of a time series of operational statistics.

| 20090051870 | Presbyopic treatment system - A method and system for treating Presbyopia and pre-Presbyopia are provided that do not compromise the wearer's intermediate or distance vision. The system is a lens and a lens series, wherein the power profiles of the lenses are tailored to provide an amount of positive ADD power in the near vision zone that is slightly less than that which is normally required for near vision accommodation, while also providing an amount of negative spherical aberration in the peripheral optical zone. The dynamic ocular factors of the wearer's eye work in conjunction with the positive ADD power provided by the central optical zone and with the effective ADD gained from the negative spherical aberration provided by the peripheral optical zone to induce a minimally discernible amount of blur that is tuned to maximize the wearer's depth of focus. | 02-26-2009 |

The lens has a power profile that reduces on-axis and off-axis hyperopic defocus created by the optics of the eye by creating on-axis and off-axis myopic defocus. The on-axis and off-axis myopic defocus is created by providing light rays that pass through a central vision region of the optical portion and light rays that pass through a peripheral region of the optical portion an increase in positive (plus) power. The overall effect is to prevent or slow the progression of myopia without any perceptible degradation in the person's central vision. | 02-11-2010 |

Each of the plurality of integrated circuits is tested with a set of test vectors generated by the integrated circuit testing apparatus, and each of the plurality of failures is associated with a failed test vector. Using a first ranking scheme, each of the failures is given a rank and the corresponding failed test vector in each of the plurality of integrated circuits is annotated with the rank. The annotated failed test vectors are grouped using a grouping scheme, and each of the groups is given a group rank. A first group of failed test vectors is selected based on the group rank and diagnostics is run on the first group of tailed test vectors. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20120089872 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SUBNET DEFECT DIAGNOSTICS THROUGH FAULT COMPOSITING - A method and system for subnet defect diagnostics through fault compositing is disclosed. Each fault contained in callout data comprises explain failure data and conflict counts. A first fault on a fan-out sink of a fan-out net that explains a first failure is selected from the callout data. A second fault on a different sink of the same fan-out net that explains a second failure that the first fault does not explain is selected. The first fault and the second fault are composited to yield a composite fault. The composite fault unions the failures explained by the first fault with the failures explained by the second fault. A composite conflict count is generated by combining the conflict count of the first fault and the conflict count of the second fault, and a score is assigned to the composite fault. A best candidate composite fault is determined based on the score. | 04-12-2012 |
