Some embodiments provide an apparatus for controlling the motion of a camera component. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes an actuator module. The actuator module includes a plurality of magnets. Each magnet of the plurality of magnets is poled with magnetic domains substantially aligned in the same direction throughout each magnet. The apparatus further includes a coil rigidly disposed around a lens. Each magnet of the plurality of magnets contributes to the forces to adjust focus of the lens based on Lorentz forces generated from the coil.

An implementation of a system, device and method for projecting a visual indicator against a surface is provided. A display projection system in a handheld sensor device (e.g. a handheld wall scanner) projects a static or computer-controlled dynamic pattern of light onto a surface being scanned to indicate a specific feature, such as existence of solid structures of wood, metal or plastic, electric or magnetic fields, or a disturbance of a field. The projected light may be controlled by a computer via an aperture to allow flexibility in what is projected, such as icons, lines, graphics, characters and colors.

A reusable holder for contact lens cases includes a base, at least one receptacle formed in the base configured to receive a contact lens case, and a time keeping device formed in the base. The time keeping device may include an indicator for the at least one receptacle that indicates a period of time that has lapsed since the contact lens case currently in the at least one receptacle was placed therein to denote a need to discard the contact lens case and a contact lens associated with the contact lens case.

Contact lens package and storage case, holder, and system and method of making and using

A contact lens package that is reusable as a case to store a contact lens between uses includes a lid, a base, one or more receptacles for a contact lens case, and a time keeping device. The time keeping device comprises an indicator for each one or more receptacles that indicates a period of time that has elapsed since the contact lens case currently in the receptacle was placed therein. When the period of time has expired, the indicator denotes a need to discard both the contact lens case and a contact lens associated with the contact lens case.

Interrogator/receiver apparatus is disclosed for transmitting a first signal to, and receiving a second signal from a remote transponder. In the preferred embodiment, the transponder is a passive, surface acoustic wave device which receives the first signal, processes this signal and transmits, in reply, the second signal which includes a unique identification code. The interrogator/receiver apparatus includes (1) a common RF unit for generating the first (interrogation) signal and (2) a plurality of transmitter/receiver heads, each remote from, and coupled to the common signal generator, for transmitting the first signal to, and receiving the second signal from a transponder or transponders in its vicinity. Advantageously, each transmitter/receiver head includes a signal mixer which performs four quadrant multiplication of the first signal by the second signal to produce a third, audio frequency signal containing frequencies equal to the instantaneous difference between the frequencies of the first and second signals. One of the mixer inputs is coupled to the RF transmission line connected to the common RF signal generator, or to a transmit amplifier connected to the transmission line; the other mixer input is connected to a directional coupler that, in turn, is connected to a common transmit/receive antenna. This directional coupler operates to pass the first signal from the transmission line, or transmit amplifier, to the antenna and to pass the second signal from the antenna to the mixer.

An ultrasound imaging apparatus is described. The hand-held device includes a first oscillating transducer for providing a B-scan display and an offset second transducer which is manually positioned for providing Doppler data. The transducer pulses are interlaced and Doppler transmissions are inhibited to permit B-scan transmissions. However, circuits provide a continuous signal representing a Doppler signal when the Doppler transmissions are inhibited.
