  • Publication number: 20160211846
    Abstract: A CGC includes an enable module and a latch module. The enable module has an enable module input and an enable module output. The latch module has latch module inputs and a latch module output. The latch module inputs include a latch module clock input for receiving a clock and a latch module enable input for receiving the enable module output. The latch module enable input is coupled to the enable module output. The latch module is configured to enable and to disable the clock via the latch module output based on the enable module input. The latch module includes an internal enable node that is the latch module output. The latch module is configured to cause the internal enable node to transition from low to high as a function of the enable module output and ?C, where E is the internal enable node and C is the clock.

  • Publication number: 20160198816
    Abstract: A wrist-worn device clasp that secures a strap of the wrist-worn device. A first mechanical part of the wrist worn device interlocks with a second mechanical part by motion in a first plane in order to resist motion perpendicular to said first plane. The first mechanical part also inhibits a first securing part and a second securing part being separated by tension along the strap substantially perpendicular to the first plane when the first mechanical part and second mechanical part are engaged with each other. The first securing part and the second securing part inhibit separation of the first mechanical part and the second mechanical part by motion parallel to the first plane when they are engaged with each other by motion perpendicular to the first plane.

  • Patent number: 9370963
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a wall panel for a caravan, the wall panel having a first face and a second face, comprises printing a first design onto the first face of the wall panel for example using a first direct-to-substrate printer. A second design may be printed onto the second face of the wall panel, for example using a second direct-to-substrate printer (which may be the same printer as, or a different printer to, the first printer). Alternatively, the first design may be printed onto a first skin for the wall panel. The second design may be printed onto a second skin for the wall panel. The first and second skins, with the designs printed thereon, may then be assembled into a wall panel.

  • Patent number: 9365376
    Abstract: Coreless tissue rolls can be produced without having to use an adhesive to form a hollow center. Instead, moisture can be used to promote light hydrogen bonding between the layers of the tissue web that line the hollow center. The hydrogen bonding provides sufficient structure to maintain the shape of the hollow center without rendering the tissue web surrounding the passageway unusable. Passageways can also be formed in accordance with the present disclosure that are substantially circular so that the rolls will easily spin on a spindle. In an alternative embodiment, moisture is not used in constructing the wound tissue roll.

  • Publication number: 20160135679
    Abstract: Method and systems are presented for analysing a wavefront using a spectral wavefront analyser to extract optical phase and spectral information at a two dimensional array of sampling points across the wavefront, wherein the relative phase information between the sampling points is maintained. Methods and systems are also presented for measuring an eye by reflecting a wavefront of an eye and measuring the wavefront at a plurality of angles to provide a map of the off-axis relative wavefront curvature and aberration of the eye. The phase accuracy between wavelengths and sample points over a beam aperture offered by these methods and systems have a number of ocular applications including corneal and anterior eye tomography, high resolution retinal imaging, and wavefront analysis as a function of probe beam incident angle for determining myopia progression and for designing and testing lenses for correcting myopia.

  • Publication number: 20160135680
    Abstract: Interferometry-based methods and apparatus are presented for analysing one or more wavefronts from a sample, in which the sample wavefronts are interfered with two or more reference wavefronts to produce two or more interferograms in a sufficiently short time period for the interferograms to be captured in a single exposure of an image capture device such as a CCD array. Each interferogram has a unique carrier frequency dependent on the angle between a respective pair of sample and reference wavefronts. In certain embodiments multiple sample and/or reference wavefronts are generated using scanning mirrors, while in other embodiments utilising multi-wavelength beams multiple sample and/or reference wavefronts are generated with wavelength dispersive elements. The methods and apparatus are suitable for measuring aberrations at one or more positions on the retina of an eye.

  • Publication number: 20160091109
    Abstract: A control valve includes a valve housing, a plurality of valves located within the valve housing, and a moveable member that is configured to move within the housing, the moveable member including a plurality of cam extensions. As the moveable member moves (e.g., rotates), the cam extensions interact against the valves to open and close the valves in a prescribed order. The control valve may be controlled to inflate a zoned object. The valves may include at least two zone valves for communicating pressurized air into the object, and a vent valve for venting the object via the zone valves. At any given position of the moveable member, the cam extensions are positioned to one of: opening one of the zone valves, opening one of the zone valves and the vent valve, or maintaining all of the valves closed. The rotating member may be a cylindrical cam shaft with radially extending cams.
