Abstract: An antenna array control method is illustrated. At least a packet is selected as at least a probing packet every probing period. One radiation pattern in a probing radiation pattern set is used to transmit the probing packet. The radiation pattern with the minimum packet error rate among all radiation patterns is selected as a best radiation pattern. When the probing period expires, a candidate radiation pattern set is obtained according to current probabilities of the radiation patterns to be the best radiation pattern. Transfer probabilities of the radiation patterns in the candidate radiation pattern set are obtained. A target radiation pattern set is obtained according to the transfer probabilities, a motion variation and trend set, and the candidate radiation pattern set. The probing period and the probing radiation pattern set are adjusted according to whether the target radiation pattern set equals to the probing radiation pattern set.

Abstract: A lens is provided that is capable of preventing or slowing the progression of myopia when worn by a person. 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.

Abstract: An ophthalmic lens includes spherical aberration in an amount that accounts for spherical aberration introduced into the lens during the manufacturing process and/or spherical aberration differences in the manufactured lens measured off of the eye and measured on the eye. The result is a lens-and-eye optical system is free or substantially free of spherical aberration, i.e., having only negligible spherical aberration. Because the optical system is free or substantially free of spherical aberration, there is no or only negligible coma induced by the normal misalignment of the lens optical axis and the eye's primary line of sight. The result is a lens-and-eye optical system that provides enhanced optical performance and visual quality. Also disclosed are methods of designing and manufacturing lenses with spherical aberration adjustments to account for manufacturing process changes and off-eye to on-eye differences.

Abstract: A parsing system provides a parsed document to a user application labeling the document with indication symbols according to a scheme associated with the parsing results. Users are enabled to insert correction indicators such as handwritten gestures, icon selections, menu item selections, and the like in conjunction with the indication symbols. The document is re-analyzed performing the requested corrections such as line or block separations, line, block, word connections, etc. The operations provide support for the engine stack of the parsing system while accommodating independent user interfaces employed by the users. Insertion of correction indicators and subsequent re-analysis for correction may be performed upon user signal, in an iterative manner, or continuously.

Abstract: A contact lens or phakic IOC lens is provided with a peripheral portion that has a power profile that provides optical control of peripheral vision images. Typically, the central portion of the lens is also provided with optical control. The power profile of the lens at the boundary of the central and peripheral portions meets certain boundary conditions that ensure that the lens provides a desired or selected vision correction. Because the peripheral portion of the lens provides optical control that defocuses the peripheral vision image relative to the retina, the lens can be used to prevent or inhibit growth of the eye, thereby preventing or inhibiting myopia or the effects of myopia.

Abstract: This invention is related to contact lenses. In particular, the present invention is related to a toric contact lens design with thickness zones in the carrier portion of the lens for increased rotational stability.

Abstract: A shape expressed using digital ink is recognized and a beautified shape is inserted into a document in a native document format. A user interface (“UI”) control is displayed adjacent to the beautified shape which, when selected, will display selectable items for modifying the beautified shape. Insertion of the beautified shape may be undone, the beautified shape may be deleted, and the format of the beautified shape may be modified. Digital ink may also be received that corresponds to text. The digital ink is inserted into a document, displayed, and the text represented by the digital ink is recognized. A UI control is displayed adjacent to the digital ink that will display one or more selectable UI items corresponding to recognition alternates. When selected, the selectable items will cause the text of the corresponding recognition alternate to be inserted into the document.

Abstract: Techniques for efficiently and accurately organizing freeform handwriting into lines. A global cost function is employed to find the simplest partitioning of electronic ink strokes into line groups that also maximize the “goodness” of the resulting lines and the consistency of their configuration. The “goodness” of a line may be based upon its linear regression error and the horizontal and vertical compactness of the strokes making up the line. The line consistency configuration for a grouping of strokes is measured by the angle difference between neighboring groups. The global cost function also takes into account the complexity of the stroke partitioning, measured by the number of lines into which the strokes are grouped. An initial grouping of strokes is made, and the cost for this initial grouping is determined. Alternate groupings of the initial stroke grouping are then generated.
