Abstract: An adjustable desk having two centrally located motorized platforms, one in front of the other, with the front platform adapted to support a keyboard and the rear platform adapted to support a video display terminal. Both platforms operate independently of the other. Each of these platforms can have its elevation adjusted over a wide range. The platform for supporting a keyboard may also have its tilt adjusted through a motorized means. The platform for the keyboard comprises three planar sections stacked on top of one another. The two lower sections are hingdly attached to one another along their front edge. The top section is slidably connected to the middle section. Switches to control the adjustent of these platforms is found on the front of the desk.

Abstract: A measuring device for prescribing special multi-focal spectacles featuring transparent members which overlay ophthalmic lenses. Each member has at least one horizontal stripe which is optically distinct from the remainder of the member, such as by having different transmissivity to light or by having opaque edges. The stripe has a lengthwise dimension which spans a lens fitting into the frame of the user and a vertical width dimension corresponding to the apparent dimension of a video display terminal seen at a terminal viewing distance. The members may be moved up and down with respect to spectacles until the image of the terminal is blocked or otherwise marked by the stripe. An ophthalmic practitioner may then measure the location of a stripe edge relative to the top or bottom of a lens or spectacle socket, thereby locating a terminal viewing power zone.

Abstract: A pupil location gauge having an index member movable in relation to a graduated scale may be used in an ophthalmic test lens holder for subjective measurement of both vertical and horizontal pupillary distance. Either monocular or binocular measurements of the pupil location may be made with respect to a spectacle frame.

Abstract: A lens holder having a pair of spring connected clamping members with apertures therein mountable over a lens socket of spectacle frames. The clamping members have an extent which is sufficient to completely span lens sockets and extend a distance beyond. Transverse lateral rulings on at least one of the clamping members permit gauging an aperture in a clamping member relative to a socket in a spectacle frame. In this manner, geometrical characteristics of a test lens may be measured and recorded for the purpose of making permanent lenses for a selected spectacle frame. In addition to transverse lateral rulings on a clamping member, angular rulings about an aperture in a clamping member may also be applied for determining angular orientations of a test lens.
