Abstract: An ophthalmic lens element includes an upper distance viewing zone and a lower near viewing zone. The upper distance viewing zone includes a central region with a first refractive power for clear distance vision and peripheral regions that are relatively positive in power compared to the first refractive power. The lower near viewing zone has a central region that is relatively positive in power compared to the first refractive power to account for accommodative lag. The powers of the peripheral regions of the lower near viewing zone are one of: i) equal to the power of the central region of the lower near viewing zone, ii) relatively positive in comparison to the power of the central region of the lower near viewing zone.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for communicating information in a data structure between applications. According to the method, a description of a data structure is sent from a first application to a second application, and there is received from the second application an identification of at least one portion of the data structure that is requested by the second application. The first application marshals a subset of the data structure consisting of the at least one portion that was identified, and there is sent from the first application to the second application the marshalled subset of the data structure.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for preserving code safety of application code that is received in a portable, instruction-set-neutral format. One aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include the actions of receiving a portable code file that is implemented in an instruction-set-neutral and source code independent format; translating the portable code file into native object code for execution on a particular instruction set architecture; generating a native executable for the particular instruction set architecture using the native object code; and validation the native executable using a trusted validator prior to execution of the native executable.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing a translation service that generates native object code by translating an intermediate representation of application code in a portable code format. One aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include the actions of receiving a translation service request for a native executable for a particular instruction set architecture from a requestor, where the translation service request includes data specifying portable code in an instruction-set neutral format; obtaining the portable code; translating the portable code into native object code for execution on the particular instruction set architecture; generating a native executable for the particular instruction set architecture; and returning the native executable to the requestor.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing enhanced late-life retirement income through the issuance of credits to a financial instrument. With these credits, the individuals have the potential for a higher return late in life in exchange for potential forfeiture of at least a portion of the designated account for premature death.

Abstract: A method for communicating information in a data structure between applications includes receiving a request from a first application for sending information in a data structure to a second application. The method further includes reading information from a run-time environment of the first application and identifying, based on the information, portions of the data structure to send. The method further includes marshalling the portions of the data structure that were identified and sending the portions of the data structure that were marshalled to the second application.

Abstract: A method for regulating communication of information in a data structure between components of a computer program is disclosed. The method includes reading a computer program and automatically identifying fields of a data structure that must be transmitted from a first component of the computer program to a second component of the computer program. The method further includes generating a routine that indicates the fields of the data structure that were identified. The method further includes requiring the first component to execute the routine when sending the data structure to the second component, such that the first component only marshals the fields of the data structure that are indicated by the routine.
