Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed for diagnosing a condition of an eye such as macular degeneration and/or cataracts. The system may include an optical system, which may project light at an eye and record lipofuscin fluorescence from a retina of the eye to form an image of the retina. A computing device may process the image to apply one or more image acceptance criteria and/or one or more image clarity criteria. If the image fails to meet the one or more image acceptance criteria, the image may be re-taken. Based on the level of conformance of the image to the one or more image clarity criteria, the system may indicate that the macular pigment level cannot be provided with confidence, indicate that the eye likely has one or more cataracts, and/or calculate and provide the macular pigment content based on a correction factor, if needed.

Abstract: To provide a photoelectric composite wiring component combining both characteristics of low power consumption of transmission over electrical wiring and large transmission capacity of optical transmission over optical wiring, and exhibiting a high power efficiency for the transmission capacity. A mechanism for switching between transmission of a transmission signal over an electrical transmission path and that over an optical transmission path depending on the modulation rate or the transmission rate of the transmission signal is provided. When the modulation rate or the transmission rate of the transmission signal is low, power supply to an optical transmitting/receiving section is stopped and the signal is transmitted over the electrical transmission path, thus achieving low power consumption. When the modulation rate or the transmission rate of the transmission signal is high, the signal is transmitted over the optical transmission path, thus achieving a large transmission capacity.

Abstract: The N1(s) turns of a first output winding is divided by a split ratio ? into N1a(s) turns of a lower-layer first output winding and N1b(s) of an upper-layer first output winding. The lower-layer first output winding is continuously wound around all slots as the undermost layer. A second output winding is continuously wound around all slots over the lower-layer first output winding. An upper-layer first output winding is continuously wound around all slots over the second output winding. The split ratio ? is adjusted only in the slots where the detection accuracy decreases. This equalize the contribution of the first output windings and the second output winding to the flux linkage, thereby achieving high angle detection accuracy.

Abstract: The N1(s) turns of an output winding is divided by a split ratio ? into N1a(s) turns of an output winding (1a) and N1b(s) turns of an output winding (1b). The output winding (1a) is continuously wound around all slots as the undermost layer. Output winding 2, which is different in phase by 90 degrees from the output winding (1a), is continuously wound around all the slots over the output winding (1a). An output winding (1b) is continuously wound around all the slots over output winding 2. This equalizes the contribution of the output winding and output winding 2 to the flux linkage, thereby achieving high angle detection accuracy.
