  • Patent number: 11918301
    Abstract: The invention relates to a goniometer that enables precise marking of the desired ocular axis in the phase immediately after surgery for the treatment of astigmatism. It essentially consists of two circular, transparent discs, one of which is at least axially stationary, in which the angles from 0° to 180° are marked, which are aligned with the angles from 0° to 180° of the patient's eye; and the other one of which is movable both angularly and axially, with a reference mark (9) and moving rigidly connected to a marking part (12), impregnated with die, which is responsible for marking the eye. Not only does the device make it possible to carry out said marking in a precise and comfortable manner, it also makes it possible to measure the angle of toric lenses already implanted.

  • Publication number: 20240066802
    Abstract: In some examples, a system receives measurement data from measurements of first three-dimensional (3D) parts formed on a build bed of an additive manufacturing machine with different contone levels of a liquid agent, and determines, based on the measurement data, geometrical deviations of the first 3D parts from a baseline geometrical property. The system generates, based on the determined geometrical deviations, a model that correlates contone levels of the liquid agent to corresponding geometrical deviations, the model for use in an adjustment of the liquid agent based on a contone level adjustment to compensate for a geometrical deviation when building second 3D parts with the additive manufacturing machine or another additive manufacturing machine.

  • Patent number: 11778981
    Abstract: Modular autonomous mobile fence, delimiter of grazing areas. It consists of two structures (10, 20) arranged opposite and distant from each other. Each structure (10, 20) is composed of at least two movable towers, arranged at the ends of the very same row and structurally linked to each other to form a movable row. An electric wire conductor (14, 15) is arranged between these two rows (10, 20) and forms a closed quadrilateral that delimits a closed grazing area (16). Said rows with towers and the area delimited by the electric fence can be selectively moved from one lot to the next, together with the animals kept therein. Said electric fence must have means of separation (31, 32) of the electric conductor from the ground (14, 15) and at least one of the mentioned towers must have means of tensioning (34) the electric conductor.

  • Patent number: 11700060
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention comprise a signal processing method and apparatus for use in a satellite payload in which an input RF signal received at a receiver antenna is modulated by using a single optical carrier at the input of an optical modulator. The optical domain signal is processed and is subsequently combined with a single unmodulated optical LO tone to provide an output RF signal for radiation by a transmitter antenna or for further digital processing by an on-board processor. This results in a clean generation of the frequency-converted RF signal at the output of the opto-electrical conversion stage.

  • Patent number: 11615933
    Abstract: A safety apparatus is a terminal shield having an indication circuit incorporated therein. The safety apparatus is usable with a circuit interrupter to overlie one or more terminals of the circuit interrupter that are connected with line and load conductors and to thereby form a circuit interrupter apparatus. The safety apparatus can be employed at the line side of a circuit interrupter, at the load side of a circuit interrupter, or at both sides of a circuit interrupter. The safety apparatus can be provided as part of a new circuit interrupter apparatus or can be provided to retrofit existing circuit interrupters. The indication circuit advantageously outputs from a top surface of the terminal shield one of a visual indication and an audible indication when one or more terminals of the circuit interrupter are electrified, thereby easily conveying to a technician the portions of the circuit interrupter that are electrified.
