An eye stabilizing mechanism for use with a computer controlled ophthalmic laser system includes a base on which the ophthalmic laser system is mounted. A frame is slidingly mounted on the base, and the frame is connected to the base by a linear spring. A contact lens is fixedly attached to the frame and an object lens is slidingly mounted on the frame. An object lens activating device is also fix...

The signal processor includes a field or frame store (24). If a video signal having a non-standard relationship between its line frequency (fH) and its color subcarrier frequency (fSC) is processed, corresponding signal samples from an analog-to-digital converter (12) of successive fields or frames are misaligned in the store, leading to a degradation of the processed signal. A nonstandard signal ...

LIGHT FIXTURE of the Invention A light fixture includes a housing having a top wall and a front wall. An upright lip on the housing projects up above the top wall generally adjacent the front wall. Fasteners mount at least one lamp on the housing forward of the front wall. A light diffuser is further provided including a hollow shell having a back with an opening therein to permit entry of the lam...
