Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110109877METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THE OBJECTIVE MEASUREMENT OF OCULAR ACCOMMODATION - The invention relates to a method and system for the objective measurement of ocular accommodation. A double-pass ophthalmoscopic system is used which incorporates a periscope allowing the patient to binocularly see real objects in an open field and images of the retinal plane to be recorded on a CCD camera. The method includes obtaining, for different values of accommodation stimulation, a set of retinal images corresponding to different focal values in the retina, obtaining the different focal positions in the retina by moving the two lenses incorporated in the ophthalmoscopic system. The image with the best optical quality is obtained for each set of images and by associating the selected image with the known value of the accommodation stimulation it is possible to objectively measure the accommodation.05-12-2011

20110232627Safety Gas Valve - A gas safety valve with a casing having a gas inlet and a gas outlet. An electromagnet disposed in the casing is situated to act on an arm within the casing that pivots to permit gas flow through between the gas inlet and outlet when the electromagnet is energized. When the electromagnet is not energized the arm closes to impede gas flow through the valve. During normal operation a thermocouple provides power to the electromagnet to hold the valve in an open position. An auxiliary power source is also electrically coupled with the electromagnet to provide power to the electromagnet when the thermocouple generates insufficient power to maintain the valve in an open position.09-29-2011

20090090718CONTAINER WITH LOCKING SYSTEM - A container includes a receptacle having walls, a floor, and an open side. The container includes first and second doors. Each of the first and second doors are pivotally attached to a respective the wall of the receptacle, and are being movable between an open position, in which a portion of the open side of the receptacle can be accessed, and a closed position, in which the first and second doors overlie the open side of the receptacle. At least one first latch unit is operatively associated with the first door and is movable between a latched position in which the first door is maintained in the closed position and an unlatched position in which the first door is movable between the open and the closed positions. At least one second latch unit is operatively associated with the second door and is movable between a latched position in which the second door is maintained in the closed position and an unlatched position in which the second door is movable between the open and the closed positions. A locking system for moving the first and second latch units between the latched and the unlatched positions includes a locking member movable between a first position in which the locking member moves the first latch unit of the first door from the latched to the unlatched position and a second position in which the locking member moves the second latch unit of the second door from the latched to the unlatched position.04-09-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110116135MULTIBIT DIGITAL HALFTONING - Digital halftoning processes for producing a halftone image include, for each pixel in the image: indexing a two-dimensional look up table using a position of the pixel, identifying a threshold value for the pixel from the two-dimensional look up table, creating an index that indexes a three-dimensional lookup table using the threshold value and the position of the pixel, and obtaining an output value for the pixel from the three-dimensional look up table via the index. The digital halftoning processes also produce a halftone representation of the image from output values for corresponding pixels.05-19-2011
20110134486Mechanism for Integration of Print Quality Enhancement (PQE) and Multi-Bit Halftone Data - A mechanism for integrating print quality enhancement (PQE) and multi-bit halftone data is disclosed. A system of embodiments of the invention includes a print control unit communicably coupled to a printer, the print control unit operable to process received multi-bit input print data for printing by the printer;\. The system further comprises a PQE card communicably coupled with the printer, the PQE card configured to separate multi-bit text and line art input data from multi-bit halftone image input data in the multi-bit input print data, ignore any of the identified multi-bit halftone image input data for purposes of applying PQE technology to the identified multi-bit halftone image input data, and apply the PQE technology to the identified multi-bit text and line art input data. Lastly, the system includes a print head communicably coupled to the printer, the print head operable to print multi-bit output created by the PQE card.06-09-2011
