Abstract: An eyesight improvement method operable to reduce or eliminate the effects of eye disease such as but not limited to presbyopia wherein the present invention deploys utilization of a hyperbaric chamber. The present invention includes utilization of a hyperbaric chamber wherein the participant in the method of the present invention will engage in a consecutive quantity of treatment sessions to be executed during a prescribed treatment term. The treatment sessions can range from fifteen to one hundred and fifty minutes with a preferred embodiment time of ninety minutes. The pressure within the hyperbaric chamber is set at a range of one and a half to two and a half atmospheric pressure with a preferred pressure at two atmospheric pressure. The preferred embodiment includes a treatment term of three months with a range being between one and five months.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement and method are disclosed for providing a video signal to a video display from a selectable subset of a plurality of digital video data carried on a plurality of video data channels. The digital video data is generated from video signals from a plurality of video sources, and each video channel selectably carries either color or monochrome video data. A processor is configured and arranged to interpret display commands, and a selector circuit is coupled to the processor. The selector circuit is arranged for connection to the plurality of video data channels and selects digital video data from a subset of the channels responsive to an input selection signal from the processor. A video data sequencer is coupled to the selector circuit and decodes color and monochrome video data from the video channels responsive to configuration signals indicating selected data formats for the channels and merges the selected video data into frames of video data.

Abstract: An integrated video distribution system for distributing video signals from a plurality of sources. The system includes a digitizer arrangement arranged to receive analog video signals from a plurality of video sources. The analog video signals are digitized in YCrCb video format and converted to streams of digital video data. The video data is multiplexed and transmitted on a digital video bus having a plurality of video channels. In one embodiment, the digitizers and video bus are integrated with a backplane arrangement that includes expansion slots for a plurality of terminal controllers. The expansion slots provide connections to the video bus. Each terminal controller mounted on the backplane arrangement can be coupled to a display terminal and an input device. The terminal controller selects one or more of the input streams of video data in response to control signals from the input device and converts the selected video data to an analog video signal for output to a display terminal.

Abstract: A system and method that enables users operating originating devices, such as PC's, laptop computers, PDA's, pocket PC's, cell phones, etc., to print documents, images, and Web pages via a “driverless” print server (DPS) system without requiring any printing device drivers to be loaded on the originating device. The server system utilizes a table driven mechanism to process and handle various printer events generated by various software applications pertaining to the documents desired to be printed by operators of the originating devices. Print data corresponding to a document is then directed over various networks to a selected target printer. The system provides two-way communication between the DPS server computer and the originating device as well as two-way communication between the DPS server computer and the target printers.

Abstract: A device and process for measuring cervical range of motion about three axes comprises a frame which is supported on the nose of a subject and which has side temple pieces for locating the frame on the wearer's head. Cervical range of motion of a wearer's head can be measured through the use of gravity type angle meters and a magnetic type angle meter which are mounted on the frames and easily referenced back to the frame. The magnetic type angle meter is mounted above the head on a removable arm, which is supported on the frame. A magnetic field is created using magnets mounted on the subject to obtain reliable head rotation readings. The magnetic type angle meter can be removed, and an arm which is mounted on the frame and extends above the head of a wearer and which when coupled with a locator arm can determine a forward head position measurement.
