  • Publication number: 20240393616
    Abstract: A contact lens includes a first optical region, a second optical region, and a transition region. The first optical region is shaped to form a first power profile. The second optical region is shaped to form a second power profile. The transition region is joined between the first optical region and the second optical region and is shaped to form a third power profile with a power variation radially changing from the first power profile to the second power profile as a radius increasing. The transition region includes a first subzone, a second subzone and a third subzone. Each of the first subzone and the third subzone has a gradual power variation measured from a lens center to a lens edge as compared to the second subzone, and the second subzone has a steep power variation measured from the lens center to the lens edge.

  • Publication number: 20240111178
    Abstract: A contact lens comprises an optical zone and a peripheral zone. The optical zone is used for vision correction. The peripheral zone surrounds the optical zone. The optical zone and the peripheral zone jointly define a geometric center and a horizontal axis passing through the geometric center. Two stabilization zones symmetrically arranged relative to the geometric center are formed in the peripheral zone. These stabilization zones gradually thicken relative to a base curved surface of the peripheral zone.

  • Patent number: 8438006
    Abstract: A translation system is provided. The system includes an input interface for receiving a term to be translated, a multi-language term processing module, a term correlation calculation module and an analysis module. The multi-language term processing module collects multi-language correlated terms corresponding to the term to be translated and language data sources, and establishes term pairs each including any two multi-language correlated terms having a relationship in translation. The multi-language correlated terms include at least the term to be translated and at least one candidate translated term in the target language. The term correlation calculation module calculates a term correlation value between the two multi-language correlated terms of each term pair and a self correlation value of each multi-language correlated term. The analysis module determines one of the candidate translated terms as the translation result term according to the term correlation values and the self correlation values.

  • Patent number: 8387356
    Abstract: A method of increasing output of a combined cycle power plant with supplemental duct firing from a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) during select periods includes guiding a reheat steam flow to at least one reheat attemperator fluidly connected to the HRSG during the select period. The method further includes increasing reheat attemperation water flow through the at least one reheat attemperator, decreasing a set point temperature of the at least one reheat attemperator for the select period to a lower set point temperature, and raising power output of the combined cycle power plant during the select period.

  • Publication number: 20080254578
    Abstract: A method for fabricating thin film transistors is disclosed. An amorphous silicon film is formed on a substrated and selectively irradiated with a laser beam for lateral growth to form a plurality of polysilicon regions. The whole surface of the substrate is then oxidized and irradiated with exicer laser annealing.
