  • Publication number: 20240090764
    Abstract: A binocular scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) is used to track the fixational eye movement of each of the eyes of a subject. The binocular SLO may include right eye optics for imaging a portion of the retina of the right eye and left eye optics for imaging a portion of the retina of the left eye. Shifts in the imaged portion of the retina with respect to a reference image of the retina may be used to measure and track eye movement. The right eye optics and left eye optics may be separate imaging paths, each with its own bi-directional MEMS scanning mirror and Keplerian telescope. The use of the MEMS scanning mirrors minimizes the size and weight of the binocular SLO.

  • Publication number: 20240058932
    Abstract: A hammer structure includes a hammer body, at least one hitting block, a compression spring, and a shaft. The hammer body has a radial through hole. The hitting block includes a mounting portion having an accommodating hole. The compression spring is accommodated in the accommodating hole. The shaft is inserted through the compression spring so that it can be elastically extended and retracted via the compression spring. The mounting portion of the hitting block is screwed to the end of the hammer body. The shaft counteracts an elastic force of the compression spring to be partially engaged in the radial through hole. The hammer structure can prevent the hitting block screwed to a mounting groove of the hammer body from being loosened due to strong impact and vibration in the hitting process, so as to fix the hitting block and avoid damage effectively.

  • Patent number: 11877346
    Abstract: A service transmission method and apparatus are provided to establish a connection between an access and mobility management function network element and a secondary base station, when a master base station is not capable of continuing to provide a service for a terminal device. In an embodiment, an access and mobility management function network element determines that a master base station is not capable of continuing to provide a service for a terminal device. The access and mobility management function network element sends a mobility management context of the terminal device to a secondary base station, where the mobility management context is used by the secondary base station to perform mobility management on the terminal device. Therefore, a signaling connection between the access and mobility management function network element and the secondary base station can be quickly established, thereby ensuring service transmission and improving user experience.

  • Publication number: 20230379689
    Abstract: This application provides a method for controlling a terminal device to access a network, and a communication apparatus. The method includes: An access network device sends, to a mobility management network element, identification information of a network selected by a terminal. When a core network does not determine whether the terminal device is allowed to access the network, the mobility management network element sends, to the terminal device, information indicating not to initiate a service. According to the method, the terminal device is prevented from initiating a service before the core network verifies whether the terminal device is allowed to access the network, so that compliance with regulatory requirements is ensured.
