Abstract: A method for forming a three-dimensional object with at least one conductive trace comprises providing an intermediate structure that is generated (e.g., additively or subtractively generated) from a first material in accordance with a model design of the three-dimensional object. The intermediate structure may have at least one predefined location for the at least one conductive trace. The model design includes the at least one predefined location. Next, the at least one conductive trace may be generated adjacent to the at least one predefined location of the intermediate structure. The at least one conductive trace may be formed of a second material that has an electrical and/or thermal conductivity that is greater than the first material.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a modular electromechanical device are described herein. The modular electromechanical device includes a chassis and a plurality of functional modules that can be connected to the chassis. Each module is associated with a different functionality. The functionality of the modular electromechanical device is defined based on various attributes including the functionality of the different functional modules that are connected to the electromechanical device, the sequence in which the different functional modules are connected to the electromechanical device, the specific attachment structures used to attach the functional modules to the electromechanical device, or a pattern of traces formed within the chassis.

Abstract: A modular lens adapter system or kit is provided for mobile anterior and posterior segment ophthalmoscopy. Equipped with various lens adapter modules, respective lenses and a mobile imaging device, a user is provided with tools for various mobile ophthalmoscopy imaging applications. Eye care practitioners can use their existing lenses to customize the modular lens adapter system in a cost-effective way, which allows for mobile and remote capture, viewing, and utilization of clinical images. The various modules are also adaptable to nearly any type of phone or tablet regardless of its dimensions or presence of a protective case. The invention also addresses the need for fewer, smaller, less expensive, and easier to use ophthalmic imaging equipment, which is further important in enabling a broad base of users.

Abstract: Method and device for caching the IP header of a message being routed through a data transmission network wherein each node includes a route processor for computing a routing algorithm, a main memory for storing the message, a cache memory; and an IP header detection logic circuit for storing the header in the cache memory as the message is being stored in the main memory. Once the header has been stored in the cache memory, it can be read from the cache memory in order to compute the routing algorithm. The new header resulting from the routing computation is written into the cache memory and is then read from the cache memory when the message including the header and the message data is sent over the network.

Abstract: In a data communication network, a system clock rate can be inferred at a receiver by measuring the data rate during successive periods. This information is used to adjust or adapt a receiver output clock to the inferred system clock. To adapt a receiver buffer output clock frequency to the buffer input clock frequency, the level of the buffer is periodically monitored. If the fill level is greater than an upper threshold, the output clock frequency is incremented. If the fill level is less than a lower threshold, the output clock frequency is decremented. A count is maintained of the number of successive adjustment operations performed while the fill level is outside the range bounded by the thresholds. When the fill level returns to the bounded range, a number of reverse frequency adjustments are performed. The number of reverse frequency adjustments are less than the number of earlier opposite frequency adjustments, preferably by a factor of two.
