Abstract: A diseased retina has a blind spot where the center of the retina, called the fovea, exists. A compensation system could comprise first measuring a patient's healthy regions of the retina called PRL. A video camera could be mounted on a table, such as for reading applications, but preferably mounted on an eyeglass frame, capture an area of regard (AR). This AR is sent to a computer which directs a projector (such as a MEMS projector) to direct the AR using his healthy area of his retina. Improvements include adding an eyeball location sensor to keep the AR focused on a moving PRL. Another improvement is dithering the AR image in millimeter sized oscillations on the moving PRL. Reading enhancement software such as Spritz® can be integrated into the computer to display the enhanced text onto the PRL.

Abstract: A device for sterilizing a surface having a light source positioned to direct a source of sterilizing light at said surface. The light directing sufficient sterilizing light at said surface to reduce the presence of infectious agents present on the surface to reduce the transmission of disease from contact with the surface.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a portable computer having an integral case that incorporates a resilient material to protect the portable computer from wear and tear encountered when transporting and/or using the portable computer. The integral case also includes a retractable strap means that can be utilized to facilitate the transporting of the portable computer. The integral case for the portable computer also includes an identification pocket on the exterior surface of the integral case for incorporating identification documents for the portable computer.

Abstract: An apparatus for the steam cleaning and rejuvenation of fishing tackle at stream side comprises a water containing vessel having an upwardly opening, constricted mouth, a clamp for retaining a conventional cigarette type lighter below the bottom surface of the vessel. Fishing flies may be held above the mouth to be cleaned and rejuvenated by steam escaping therefrom by means of a magnetic annulus defining the mouth, or a mechanical clip attached to the vessel adjacent the mouth.
