An apparatus and method for despeckling that includes a green laser diode assembly, a pulsed laser with a repetition rate of less than 100 kHz, and stimulated Raman scattering light formed in an optical fiber. The laser diode light and stimulated Raman scattering light are combined to form a projected digital image. The green laser diode assembly or the pulsed laser is switched to improve the bit depth of the projected digital image.

A countdown timer contact lens case is provided for removably receiving a receptacle and providing independent timing functions for displaying the useful remaining life of a contact lens and for the receptacle for receiving the contact lens when not worn. The countdown timer contact lens case includes a receptacle carried by a main body. The main body includes a timing circuit and a display with first and second indicators corresponding to the respective remaining time for desired use of the lens and for the receptacle. The timer for the lens displays a maximum value which is less than the displayed maximum value of the timer for the receptacle. The timer corresponding to each of the lens and the receptacle can be independent set and reset, and a warning feature is provided to signal the user when the corresponding displayed lens or receptacle value diminishes below a minimum, or decreases to zero.

The present invention is a method and apparatus to balance load in a cluster of switches in a network. The switches include a local switch and one or more remote switches. Messages containing load information of the switches are exchanged among the switches. One of the switches is selected to respond to a connection request to the local switch based on a metric.

A measuring scoop having a housing including a peripheral wall with an elongated flat portion for engagement with a flat support surface. A handle is formed with the housing at a position spaced apart from the elongated flat portion. The housing defines an open ended chamber adapted to receive a predetermined amount of chopped, diced or ground food product by sliding the scoop across the flat surface.
