The present invention provides a bi-directional communication network which provides real-time computer-aided diagnostics, asset history, accounting records, maintenance records and energy management. Advantageously, such a network integrates the various work aspects of today's food service industry ...
A technique for evaluating the topography of a cornea is disclosed, which utilizes a virtual image/object of a keratoscope pattern. The disclosed topography system includes a structured light source to create the keratoscope pattern or another diagnostic pattern, an optical assembly to focus the cre ...
A hybrid integrated optical transmitter comprising a wavelength selectable laser (WSL) source coupled to an optical amplifier/modulator has been realized. Disposed between the optical combiner and the optical amplifier/modulator is an “optical isolator.” The optical isolator includes at least a Fara ...
The present invention provides a bi-directional vehicle communication network which has the ability for record management and collection, including updating registration, insurance, inspection and/or maintenance records, as well as for collecting for the transaction fee or cost thereof. Additionally ...
The present invention for producing a substantial two-way shape memory effect within a composition substantially only exhibiting one-way memory is realized by first plastically deforming the alloy into a predetermined shape and then work hardening, such as through grit blasting, a selected portion o ...
A system for enhancing navigation or surveillance in low visibility conditions is realized by employing one or more ultraviolet radiation sources, a receiver which is capable of producing output signals from which a two dimensional image of the received radiation can be constructed, and a display de ...
The present invention utilizes a self-contained control module consisting of the electronics necessary to the control the various operations of the cooking appliance in which the module is installed, preferably including the high voltage control electronics. The control module is easily accessible a ...
The diagnostic system of the present invention monitors and accumulates the thermal signatures or characteristics during at least one operational mode of the cooking appliance. These thermal signatures or characteristics are collected--through the same temperature sensor used to regulate the tempera ...
The present invention is directed to a method for adjusting the operating temperature range of a laser module such that it substantially covers or is coextensive with the span in temperatures for the desired application. In accordance with the principles of the invention, it has been found that the ...
A technique for evaluating the topography of a cornea, which utilizes a virtual image of a keratoscope pattern.
