Third Millenium Trust - Scotsdale AZ

International Classification:

A45C 1104

US Classification:

206 51, 1510492, 53428, 206 38

Abstract:

A unique container system for holding and cleaning a soft contact lens over a period of time. The system includes a container base having a substantially dry cavity. A hydrophilic fixation and cleaning member is wetted and disposed within the substantially dry cavity. The contact lens is placed on the hydrophilic fixation member and held in a desired orientation while remaining hydrated due to the moisture from the hydrophilic fixation member. Also, a cover is disposed over the substantially dry cavity to enclose the hydrophilic fixation member and the contact lens during storage.

Appl. No.:

09/484334

Inventors:

Edward Q. Yavitz - Rockford IL 61114

International Classification:

G06F 1516

US Classification:

709219, 455557

Abstract:

A radio reception system is combined with a computer system. The radio reception system includes a radio receiver that is integrated with a personal computer system. The radio receiver is configured to receive analog FM signals and linked data transmitted according to at least one of the RDS and MBS standards. The data serves as a data trigger to provide the user with a prompt on the computer system. The prompt may be utilized to access information related to the primary radio broadcast and previously stored at a memory location, such as a computer disk drive, CD or floppy disk. This permits a user to quickly and easily access large amounts of information relevant to the current programming of a given radio station or to purchase music, goods and services as they are featured in the FM broadcast.

Appl. No.:

09/948834

Inventors:

Edward Q. Yavitz - Rockford IL, US

International Classification:

G06K 9/54

US Classification:

382305, 382307, 434 43, 704271

Abstract:

A visual simulation technique is provided to facilitate visual activities, such as reading and movement of a subject through surroundings, for sight-impaired persons. The technique obtains digital images of the surroundings via an image retrieval and sending device, and then provides a real-time audio interpretation of the images via an automated image identification and narration system. The automated system may have communication and computing circuitry, remote human interaction circuitry, and other components for either computer-based or human-based identification and narration of the acquired images.
