Two types of compositions having an eye-drop delivery system are used during or after an orthokeratology procedure to prevent or retard relaxation of corneal tissue back to the original anterior curvature of the cornea. Each composition functions independently from the others and is a different approach of preparing a stabilizing agent. The first composition is directed to a biologically compatible composition comprising fibril associated collagens with interrupted triple helices (FACITs) and/or small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycans (SLRPs). The fibril associated collagen family includes various types of collagens, such as type VI, type XX, type XII, and type XIV. The small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycans family includes decorin, keratocan, biglycan, epiphycan, lumican, mimecan, and fibromodulin. The second composition includes the enzyme found as a normal component of tissues, plasma, or epidermis, such as transglutaminase.

Energy converters are monitored to ensure that they are operating at acceptable levels. An expected output is predicted using mathematical modeling and compared to the actual output generated by the energy converter. When the difference is above a predetermined threshold, the level of underperformance, along with other parameters, are used to determine a possible cause of underperformance and actions that can be taken to increase the output to acceptable levels. The cause and actions are transmitted to personnel, who are dispatched to service the underperforming energy converter. By centrally locating the mathematical modeling, monitoring, and dispatching, multiple PV modules can be managed from a remote location. When monitoring photovoltaic modules, an irradiation sensor employs multiple photosensors oriented to detect not only the normal components of sunlight but also directional, diffused components of sunlight, thereby increasing the accuracy of the mathematical modeling.

In a body-worn personal communications apparatus, for example a wrist-carried wireless telephone, an antenna (102) is a helical or other physically-shortened electric antenna that makes use of the enhanced normal component of electric field close to the body. A microphone (114) can act as a top load to the antenna, thereby enabling the use of a shorter antenna. The antenna (102) may be formed from coaxial cable, enabling it to provide electrical connections between the microphone (114) and transceiver circuitry in the body of the apparatus. By arranging for the microphone (114) to have low impedance at radio frequencies, the coaxial cable acts as an inductive stub and enables the antenna (102) to be further shortened.

Provided is a storage system superior in fault tolerance. This storage system is composed of a controller having a plurality of processors and other units. When an error occurs in any one of the components in the controller, the storage system cuts off an I/O path of the controller, specifies the failed component in the cutoff status, and invalidates such failed component. Further, after invalidating the failed component, the storage system determines whether it is operable only with the normal components, cancels (releases) the cutoff of the I/O path when it determines that it is operable, and resumes operation by rebooting itself.

A method for encoding vertex orientations, also known as normal components, of a 3D mesh model comprises a first clustering of the normal components, determining for each of the first clusters a sphere sector to which most of its elements belong, mapping normal components to a predefined sector, re-clustering the normal components in the predefined sector into second clusters, determining predictors for the second clusters and encoding a normal component by its residual, a reference to its predictor and data indicating which of said mirror mapping operations were performed. A sphere sector is obtained by dividing a sphere into m equal spherical segments and dividing each of said spherical segments into n equal sectors. The first clustering for the sector mapping and the second clustering for predictive coding result in an improved compression ratio.

The back-up structure of a parabolic dish antenna, which supports its reflecting surface, is formed in this invention by preloading its radial and circumferentially placed straight structural members and hence it is termed as preloaded parabolic dish antenna. Such a preloading results in considerable reduction in its weight and also to the effort involved in its assembly. The back-up structure of the preloaded parabolic dish antenna is made of a central hub, an assembly of a suitable number of elastically bent radial structural members connected rigidly to the central hub and to the same number of straight structural members which are connected to the tips of the radial members at the outer rim of the dish and also to straight bracing members placed circumferentially at intermediate locations, which are all tensioned to specified prestress values in the absence of wind loading. The outermost rim members placed at the periphery of the dish form the aperture of the dish. The backup structure of the preloaded parabolic dish antenna is given the parabolic shape by fixing the radial members at a suitable inclination angle and location at the hub and by applying an appropriate force with a normal component at their tips so as to bend the radial members elastically such that their curvature becomes approximately the same as that of the parabolic curve between the hub and the peripheral rim point. The invention incorporates a suitable rigid connection of the elastically bent radial members and other structural members in order to store sufficient initial elastic energy in the back-up structure of the dish for resisting gravitational and static and dynamic wind forces on the parabolic dish antenna for the survival wind condition at the antenna site. This configuration also reduces moment of the wind forces and torques on the mounting tower and gear drive system of the dish antenna. This invention is also applicable to structures of geometries other than that of the parabolic dishes. The method of constructing the preloaded parabolic dish and attaching reflector panels of lightweight is also disclosed.

The preloaded parabolic dish antennas are useful in microwave communication, satellite communication, radar, radio telescope and other similar applications for receiving and/or transmitting radio waves.

A surface normal map of an object can be interactively modified to create brushstroke-like textures. In one embodiment, surface normal components along the x, y, and z axes (in object coordinate space) are mapped onto red, green, and blue color components. The object's surface is displayed in an editing interface (e.g., a painting program) with colors indicating the surface normals. The user can then modify the surface normals to achieve a desired look for the object. The modified surface normals are stored with the object-model data and are used in rendering the object, helping to create a painted appearance.
