  • Publication number: 20130296681
    Abstract: An optical intraocular pressure measuring apparatus includes a light source, an optical module, a pressure providing module, a deformation measuring module, and a processing module. The light source provides an incident light. The optical module divides the incident light into a first incident light and a second incident light and emits them to a reference object and an object to be detected through a first light path and a second light path, and receives a first reflected light signal from reference object and a second reflected light signal from the object to be detected respectively. The pressure providing module coupled with second light path provides a pressure to deform the object to be detected. The deformation measuring module measures the deformation of the object to be detected. The processing module processes the first reflected light signal and second reflected light signal to generate an intraocular pressure measurement result.

  • Publication number: 20130288497
    Abstract: A coaxial connector and a method for providing a normal force in an electrical connector. The coaxial connector includes a first terminal having a first contact portion and a second terminal having a second contact portion. Before an external device is inserted into the coaxial connector for the first time, the first contact portion and the second contact portion form a first relative positional relationship. After the external device is disengaged from the coaxial connector, the second contact portion urges against the first contact portion upwards to form a third relative positional relationship. The third relative positional relationship is different from the first relative positional relationship.
