摘要:
A method for calculating the required cylindrical power of a toric implant by using both the measured pre-operative corneal/ocular astigmatism and the predicted surgically-induced astigmatism. The post-operative corneal/ocular astigmatism is predicted using power vector analysis of the surgical technique employed by the surgeon. Such a method provides a more accurate method of calculating the required spherocylindrical refractive power of the implant. The method can be implemented manually, but preferably is automated by implementation on a computer through appropriate software.

Methods, systems, and apparatus are provided that include determining a number of storage locations corresponding to busy chambers of an electronic device manufacturing tool; based on the number of storage locations corresponding to busy chambers, determining whether the electronic device manufacturing tool may accommodate a substrate; and of the electronic device manufacturing tool may accommodate a substrate, receiving a substrate in the electronic device manufacturing tool. Numerous other aspects are provided.
摘要:
An apparatus and method incorporating at least two sensors that detect the presence of substrate defects, such as breakage or misalignment, along the lengths of at least two parallel edges of a moving substrate. In one embodiment, an apparatus for detecting substrate defects includes a sensor arrangement including at least two sensors that continuously sense a substrate near at least two parallel edges of the substrate as the substrate passes the sensors. In another embodiment, an apparatus for detecting substrate defects includes a robot having a substrate support surface, and a sensor arrangement including at least two sensors that continuously sense a substrate near at least two parallel edges of the substrate during substrate transfer on the substrate support surface. In another embodiment, a method of continuously detecting substrate defects includes positioning at least two sensors to continuously sense a substrate near at least two parallel edges of the substrate as the substrate passes the sensors, and transmitting a signal from each of the at least two sensors to a controller that continuously monitors the signals from the at least two sensors to detect the presence of a substrate defect.
摘要:
This invention is directed to methods and compositions which impede the development and progression of diseases associated with subclinical inflammation. Subclinical inflammation is commonly associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, coronary disease or cerebrovascular disease. The methods and compositions of the invention are also particularly suited to providing therapy for subclinical inflammation in diabetic and prediabetic patients. Methods of the invention comprise administration of DHA alone and in combination with antiplatelet drugs.

An assembly for producing a packet containing inserts, provides means for placing inserts on a moving web and holding them in position thereon by banding spaced sets of inserts on the web with a ribbon which is crimped to the web between successive sets of inserts.
摘要:
A system for producing a mass distributable printed packet is disclosed wherein a web of paper has printed thereon a format of successive rectangular pieces in a plurality of longitudinal lines extending parallel to the edges of the web, the web is cut longitudinally between the print patterns and the thus-formed strips are superposed in vertical registry of the printed patterns. The strips are cut to form sets of printed sheets, each including a separator element. The sets are stacked in a hopper and the bottom sets are successively removed and packaged.
