Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced directionality for portal detector stations are provided. The systems include a portal detector station, an overhead detector station, a controller operatively coupled thereto. In embodiments, the controller analyzes read events detected by the portal detector station to determine a set of RFID tags included in a pallet of objects. The controller also analyzes read events detected by the overhead detector station to determine a direction of travel for the RFID tags included in the set of RFID tags and/or to detect stray read events that resulted in RFID tags being erroneously included in the set of RFID tags.

Abstract: Treatments to improve ocular conditions such as presbyopia are provided. Structural (mechanical) weakening of the sclera is accomplished through the formation of a 3-D pattern of laser foci in the sclera resulting in an increase in the range of ocular accommodation.

Abstract: An input/output module for use in a communications system including a plurality of interface cells, with each cell including circuitry for interfacing with either an optical or an electrical transmission media. An optical or electrical media connector, as needed, is connected to the interface circuitry. The input/output module further includes an inter-module connector for connecting the interface circuitry of the module to other similar modules or other circuit boards in the communications system. The disclosed input/output module is especially useful in a communications switch where a plurality of input/output modules are interconnected to each other through a crosspoint module.

Abstract: An audio-visual presentation device including a magnetic cassette tape drive and circuitry adapted in a normal automatic forward mode for reproducing audio signals from one track of the cassette tape and for controlling a remotely controllable slide projector in response to signals from a second track of the cassette tape such that the audio signals and slide projector visual presentation remain in synchronization. The device includes a manual reverse switch to permit the device operator to repeat portions of the audio-visual presentation, the switch when in a first position providing normal automatic forward operation in a first tape drive mode and when in a second position providing in a second tape drive mode reverse operation at a higher speed with the audio output muted and the signals from the second track of the tape controlling the projector to cycle in a reverse direction.
