Abstract: A device for correcting the injection behavior of at least one injector includes an apparatus for storing information relating to the at least one injector and means for controlling the at least one injector. The device takes the stored information into account in the correction, the information having been ascertained by comparing setpoint values with actual values individually at a plurality of test points of the at least one injector, the information being activation times for an activation time correction map of the at least one injector.

Abstract: A two-optic accommodative lens system. The first lens has a negative power and is located posteriorly within the capsular bag and lying against the posterior capsule. The periphery of the first lens is attached to a ring-like structure having a side wall. The second lens is located anteriorly to the first lens within of the capsular bag and is of a positive power. The peripheral edge of the second lens contains a plurality of haptics that are arranged in a spiral pattern and project posteriorly from the second lens and toward the first lens. The haptics are relatively firm, yet still flexible and ride within the side wall of the ring-like structure, so that flattening or steepening of the capsule in reaction to movement of the ciliary muscle and corresponding shrinkage of the capsular bag causes the second lens to move along the optical axis of the lens system.

Abstract: A system and a call forwarding manager device for providing Internet telephony to a subscriber's premises via the subscriber's Internet connection, facilitated by the subscriber's analog telephone connection. Incoming analog telephone calls are received by the call forwarding manager connected to the subscribers analog telephone line, which responds by generating a request for service from a voice gateway, which may be remotely located. The voice gateway then generates an Internet telephone connection from the voice gateway to an Internet protocol telephone owned by the subscriber, and then connects the analog telephone call via the voice gateway to the Internet protocol telephone via the subscriber's Internet connection.

Abstract: A posterior chamber phakic lens made from an elastomeric, foldable, highly biocompatible and permeable material. The lens has a generally circular optic and a plurality of integrally formed, filament-like haptics. The haptics project posteriorly from the optic and contain a raised feature or ridge that is sandwiched between the posterior iris and the zonules when implanted in an eye. Such a construction has a low vaulting force under compression, is size insensitive, provides for a stable lens once implanted in the eye, helps to avoid pupillary blockage and allows for improved aqueous flow around the natural lens.

Abstract: A method of making a circuitized substrate in which solder material (e.g., in paste form) is deposited through a screen onto individual conductors in a spaced pattern of individual solder “islands”. A solder flux is then deposited onto the “islands” causing these to spread out and form a continuous solder layer across the conductor's upper surface. The solder layer is then capable of coupling to an external conductor such as a solder ball, to form an electrical assembly such as might be used within an information handling system such as a personal computer.

Abstract: A an IOL having an edge texture that reduces the light reflected off of the IOL edge and as a result, both the positive and negative dysphotopsia are reduced significantly.

Abstract: A two-optic accommodative lens system. The first lens has a negative power and is located posteriorly within the capsular bag and lying against the posterior capsule. The periphery of the first lens is attached to a ring-like structure having sloping sides. The second lens is located anteriorly to the first lens within of the capsular bag and is of a positive power. The peripheral edge of the second lens contains a plurality of haptics that project posteriorly from the second lens and toward the first lens. The haptics are relatively firm, yet still flexible and ride within the sloping sides of the ring-like structure, so that flattening or steepening of the capsule in reaction to movement of the ciliary muscle and corresponding shrinkage of the capsular bag causes the second lens to move along the optical axis of the lens system.

Abstract: An electronic fabrication process and structure is provided for attaching discrete passive surface mount devices (SMD) to a substrate in a single step. A liquid noflow resin encapsulant containing flux material is dispensed between presoldered pads on a substrate. The SMD, having a pair of electrical contacts, is pressed into said encapsulant so that the electrical contacts make contact with said presoldered pads. Heat is applied to first activate said flux material and then reflow the solder on said presoldered pads to bond said SMD contacts to said presoldered pads. The reflow temperature is maintained for about 180 seconds during which time the resin solidifies. The resin encapsulant fills the space between substrate and SMD and forms fillets around the solder bonded contacts.

Abstract: A two or three component lens system. The first component is a ring-like supporting component that is implanted in the capsular bag following cataract surgery. The first component is a non-optical component and does not correct for any refractive errors. The first component may contains features to help reduce or eliminate PCO. The second component is an optical component that may contain all of the corrective optical power of the lens system. The second component has a pair of tabs for locking the second component within the first component. The third component is optional and is similar to second component and contains some optical power to correct for any residual optical error not corrected by the second component. The second and third components may also be implanted so as to move relative to one another, thereby providing some accommodation.

Abstract: A two part lens system. The first part is a ring-like supporting component that is implanted in the capsular bag following cataract surgery. The first component is a non-optical component and contains a pair of haptics for fixating the first component within the capsular bag. The second component is an optical component that contains all of the corrective optical power of the lens system. The second component has a pair of tabs for locking the second component within the first component.

Abstract: A method and structure for coupling a semiconductor substrate (e.g., a semiconductor chip) to an organic substrate (e.g., a chip carrier). The coupling interfaces a solder member (e.g., a solder ball) to both a conductive pad on the semiconductor substrate and a conductive pad on the organic substrate. Thermal strains on the solder member during thermal cycling may be reduced by having a surface area of the pad on the semiconductor substrate exceed a surface area of the pad on the organic substrate. Thermal strains on the solder member during thermal cycling may also be reduced by having a distance from a centerline of the solder member to a closest lateral edge of the semiconductor substrate exceed about 0.25 mm.

The device of the present invention is useful for stretching and implanting the ring portion of a two component intraocular lens.

Abstract: Methods for fabricating merged magnetic heads, employing an inductive write head and a magnetoresistive (MR) read head which share portions of the overall magnetic structure, provide for accurate definition of the write track width and for improved alignment of the write gap and the read gap. The method includes accurately forming and defining the nonmagnetic write gap prior to fabricating the inductive write coil structure and subsequently formed higher topology elements. The methods provide for better control of the widths of the top pole member and the bottom pole member, thereby resulting in substantially equal widths for these pole members.

Abstract: A magnetic head is fabricated with a thin film transducer including first and second magnetic layers, having an insulation layer defining a transducing gap between the pole tips of the magnetic layers, and a top insulating layer over the transducer for protecting the transducer from humidity and mechanical shock. The insulation gap layer is configured with a compound angled section of a baked resist insulation layer having a steep angular portion and a second angled portion of substantially the same slope preceding a substantially flat area. In this way, maximum contact is provided between the protective top insulation and the lower insulation gap layer in order to minimize cracking, without displacing the coil assembly from its preferred location close to zero throat so that optimum coil efficiency is obtained.
