    摘要: Optical properties of a lens, including localized defects, are determined by analyzing the refracted image produced by transmitting a beam of light through an aperture and a lens to be tested. The image is reflected onto a light sensitive detecting surface. Information obtained from the light detecting surface is digitized and sent to an Image Processing Unit which calculates the optical properties of the lens. The aperture may consist of a single shaped opening or alternatively a plurality of concentric, annular rings. Correction lenses may be employed, either permanently or selectively, to alter the refracted beam before the beam intersects the detecting surface.

    摘要: A non-contact tonometer of a type having a cylinder, a piston received by the cylinder for axially directed movement relative to the cylinder, and a driven member for causing the piston to move relative to the cylinder in a compression stroke to generate a fluid pulse for transfiguring a cornea is improved by decoupling the piston from the driven member to eliminate the need for critical alignment between the driven member and piston and allow the piston to be self-aligning with respect to the cylinder.

    摘要: An apparatus for calibrating a non-contact tonometer comprises an electronic eye having a damped pressure sensor for receiving a tonometer air pulse and providing a pressure signal in response to the air pulse, and an applanation simulator connected to the pressure sensor for providing a pseudo-applanation event when the pressure signal reaches a predetermined level corresponding to a known IOP measurement standard. A method for calibrating a non-contact tonometer using the inventive calibration apparatus is also described.

    摘要: A fluid pump system of a non-contact tonometer is numerically simulated through its compression stroke by a simulation software program. System dynamic behavior is modeled for a variety of piston diameters, whereby an optimal piston diameter or range of piston diameters is selected in view of stoke length limitations and target applanation pressure requirements.

    摘要: A non-contact tonometer is improved by providing a non-telecentric applanation detection system enabling relaxation of instrument alignment requirements during testing. In a preferred embodiment, the applanation detection system comprises an emitter for directing an obliquely incident beam of light for reflection by the cornea, and a detector array having a plurality of photosensitive detector array elements located to receive corneally reflected light. The detector array generates a plurality of signal curves for light energy received at different locations on the array as a function of time, and the signal curves are evaluated to determine an optimal signal curve which best indicates the moment of applanation.

    摘要: A new, performer played, real time, multitonal, multitimbral musical instrument consists of speed and force sensitive keys in which time domain multiplexing is used to find and associate one and only one tone generator, not otherwise busy, with any key that is depressed. The sound generator disclosed can provide very realistic simulations of the flute, oboe, trumpet, French horn, trombone through the provision of various types of modulations in amplitude and frequency of the various partials, as is characteristic of each instrument simulated, and filtered noise. Glissandi are provided from one note to another and are controlled from the pair of keys involved by the relative pressure with which they are depressed. For the nonpercussive tonalities, the speed with which a key is depressed, which is determined by differentiating the force, may be used to cause the attack transient to behave in a manner very characteristic of the instrument being simulated. The force with which a key is depressed is determined from the rate of rise of the potential across a capacitive keying system excited through a resistor. Percussive sound generators are provided also; the intensity of the note generated by these generators is determined by the speed with which the associated key is depressed. The force with which the associated key is depressed can be used to determine the rate of automatic repetition of the note. The speed with which a key is depressed can also be used for nonpercussive instruments to alter the character of the attack transient.

    摘要: An electronic musical instrument has a keyboard equipped with apparatus for developing a voltage in response to the momentum of operated keys of the keyboard, which voltage is employed to control the amplitude of the sounds produced in response to each key depression. The amplitude is dependent partially upon the momentum of the key depression and partially upon the amount of time since the previous depression of the same key. An envelope generator operates in response to depression of a key and has a charge circuit for controlling attack and decay of the envelope. The discharge circuit is controlled partially by the pitch of the note selected by the depression of any given key of the keyboard. The envelope produced by the envelope generator controls a unit which functions as a combined modulator and filter, closing a path between an audio source and an output system and varying the width of the band-pass provided for the signal from the audio source in response to the amplitude of the envelope. The wave shape of the signal supplied to the output system is also modified in response to the amplitude of the envelope.
