Abstract: A method and surgical system including a laser source for generating a pulsed laser beam, an imaging system including a detector, shared optics configured for directing the pulsed laser beam to an object to be sampled and confocally deflecting back-reflected light from the object to the detector, a patient interface, through which the pulsed laser beam is directed, the patient interface having, a cup with a large and small opening, and a notched ring inside the cup; and a controller operatively coupled to the laser source, the imaging system and the shared optics, the controller configured to align the eye for procedure.

Abstract: A ride control suspension control system having suspension control units with a damper and a single pressure regulator that controls dampening in both the compression and rebound chambers of the damper. The fluid control circuit may include a plurality of check valves that coordinate the flow of fluid to and from both chambers through the pressure regulator. In one embodiment, the system includes a central controller that receives input from a variety of sensors and directly controls operation the pressure regulators in each of the suspension control units without the need for any remote processors. The ride control suspension system may also include wheel position sensors that are external to the accumulator.

Abstract: A system and method provide a container holding a candle, a covering portion that can cover an opening of the container holding the candle, a device that automatically extinguishes the candle utilizing the covering portion and an attachment portion shaped to fit around the opening of the container holding the candle. The attachment portion can be removeably secured to the container via a securing system. The attachment portion can also be coupled to the covering portion and the device that automatically extinguishes the candle.
