A method for selecting an image is presented.

Method for selecting images

A method for clarifying an image of an object to perform a procedure on an object includes applying electromagnetic energy to the object to provide reflected and/or transmitted energy according to an interaction of the electromagnetic energy and the object, determining an image quality metric in accordance with the reflected and/or transmitted energy to provide a determined image quality metric, determining an image in accordance with the determined image quality metric to provide a determined image, and performing the procedure in accordance with the image quality metric and the determined image.

Method for optically scanning objects

An ultrasonic dosage device having an enclosure for providing a medication in the form of a nebulized mist, including an energy source positioned within the enclosure and a vibration device with a switch for applying electrical energy from the energy source to the vibration device. An assembly is attached to the enclosure and has a membrane disposed between the vibration device and the medication for containing the medication and maintaining the medication in contact with the vibration device only by way of the membrane, whereby the membrane is vibrated and the medication is thereby converted into the mist by vibrations transmitted to the medication by way of the membrane when power is applied to the vibration device.

Ultrasonic dosage device and method

A method for compensating an optic aberration of an eye comprising the steps of applying to the eye a measuring light beam formed of incoherent light to provide an applied incoherent measuring light beam. An image quality metric is determined in accordance with the applied incoherent measuring light beam and the aberration is compensated in accordance with said image quality metric. A perturbation is applied to the image quality metric to provide a perturbed image quality metric and a determination is made whether a predetermined image quality is obtained in accordance with the perturbed image quality metric. An incoherent source light is transmitted from an incoherent light source to a mirror and redirected from the incoherent light source to the retina of the eye using the mirror in order to provide the applied incoherent measuring light beam.

An ocular refractive alteration device is controlled to alter an ocular refractive lens according to an eye of a patient, including applying to the eye a measuring light beam formed of incoherent light to provide an applied incoherent measuring light beam and determining an image quality metric according to the applied incoherent light beam. The ocular refractive lens alteration device is controlled to alter the refractive lens according to the image quality metric. A method is set forth for locating a tumor in-an eye including applying to the eye a measuring light beam formed of incoherent light to provide an applied incoherent measuring light beam and determining a frequency distribution is also set forth the applied incoherent measuring light beam. The tumor is locating according to the frequency distribution.

A container that is filled from one end with mortar includes a flexible tube at the other end that is elongated in cross section and open at one end. A shoulder on the container is spaced from the opening about the distance of the height of an opening between facing surfaces of adjacent masonry units that is to be filled with the mortar.

An ophthalmic shield with compression device wherein the ophthalmic shield has at least one enlarged opening and wherein the ophthalmic shield is adapted to be positioned on the head of the wearer in covering relationship to an eye of the wearer. A pad is positioned in the enlarged opening with the pad receiving fluid that drains from the eye.
