Just a day after the leak of the news of new Bolt AD4500, reports are that the popular Indian android maker is all set to introduce array of handsets in the most affordable price tag. If grapevines to be trusted then Micromax soon will be launching all new four handsets including AD4500 which will be best suited for a common man pocket. And the best part of these handsets is its trusted specifications.
Generally the company comes up with 1.3GHz dual core processor as a minimum feature and same thing goes with them. Just like the other budget phones from Canvas or Bolt flagship they will also run on 1.3GHz processor and number of cores to be yet unknown (most probably – dual core).

These smart phones come under the model name Bolt A066, Bolt A067, Bolt AD 3520 and Bolt AD4500. In our last segment we mentioned about Micromax Bolt AD4500 and the features which it offers. Today we will be discussing about its other kin as well. These phones very obviously operates on latest Kitkat Android 4.4 out of the box.
The news also includes that they will bear only 512MB of internal RAM which is quite less and can be a cause a little dismay to its users. This 512MB of internal RAM will be coupled with about 4GB of memory on board. Since all the phones by Micromax include the expandable external memory, we can expect the same from these handsets as well.
Talking about the camera which is also one of the essential features of a smart phone since it helps in capturing all those moments which we wants to keep safe. All these smart phones proclaim 5MP of rear snapper which means that we can have crisp and clear images. Nothing has been mentioned about the front facing camera yet.
Just like AD4500, AD3250 will also accommodates dual firing features which will ensure amazing hearing experience, now listening to your favorite music will be much more entertaining and effective. Micromax Bolt AD4500 will be available in three colors that are white, red and royal blue while its other mates are available in white and yellow colors.
Apart from all these specs, we can bargain for connectivity options like WiFi, Bluetooth, USB, 2G etc which are the basic options available in any handset at this range. These connectivity options will let one stay in connected with his family and friends.
It is not just that, rumors are that Micromax will add some more variants to this series. It is expected that these phones will be made available at the price below INR 6,000 at least but there is no confirmed news about the same.
Anticipated specs:
- 512MB of internal RAM.
- 4GB of internal memory.
- Android 4.4.2 Kitkat operating system.
- 5MP of rear facing camera.
- Dual firing speakers in Bolt AD4500 and Bolt AD3250.
- 1.3GHz processor.
- AD 4500 will be available in three colors viz. white, red and royal blue.
- Bolt A066 band Bolt A067 will be available in yellow and white colors.

Vahanvati has agreed to appear in Supreme Court on behalf of the Planning Commission in connection with the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by the Right to Food Campaign. The Planning Commission has drawn flak from several quarters, including civil society for pegging poverty in urban areas at Rs 32 per capita per day. The figure in rural area is Rs 26 a day.
Referring to the criticism on poverty line, he said, "Social activists have vociferously criticised the latest poverty line of Rs 3,905 for rural areas and Rs 4,824 in urban areas as 'cruel joke' by converting the figure into per person per day i.e. Rs 26 and Rs 32 respectively. "Many people are persuaded by this because they sometimes think of daily allowance as meant for family budget...it does not need to be emphasised that the poverty line is not a comfort line of acceptable living for the aam aadmi (common man). It is poverty line which by definition implies considerable stress."
On states' criticism that Planning Commission is understating poverty, leaving out deserving individuals, Ahluwalia explained, "The fact ...is that states gave many more below poverty line (BPL) cards than their entitlement and what is worse is, they often did not give the cards to deserving people."

Hi Daisy82 and welcome so glad we have another lady to chat to and bounce ideas and observations off.
As I have flicked over a new page I'm going to try and remember everything from previous page but if I forget something please ask again.
I went off the pill in December and since then I think I have put on approx 10kgs I'm so self conscious now and I hate it. I started my healthy eating on Monday and so far so good. Have Increased my water intake from not much to 2+ litres per day and I'm at the bathroom every half hour but not missing fizzy at all.
I didnt ovulate this month and my FS told me that if I don't ovulate in 3 weeks after blood test to call again and she will write me a script to bring on AF again. I was in the same boat - thinking that I won't have AF unless I ovulate and I definitely don't want to wait the 5 months like I did last time. My FS did say that the letrozole (similar to clomid) which I am on should regulate me to AF normally but currently cd24 and no signs or symptoms of AF coming.
Although I am on letrozole and not clomid - I haven't noticed any side effects (thank god) and I hope you don't on clomid.
I was temping every morning but then I forgot and get side tracked so I haven't done that in a while.
And I use a digital ovulation kit from days 11 to 15 of my cycle - easy to use, gives you a smiley face when ovulating. At present I am still waiting to have smiley face. I bought mine off eBay and it takes a lot if the guess work out of if the second line is darker than control line etc.
Hope your test went ok today tassiewife and look forward to hearing your results.
Hope I have shed some light on your questions Daisy

Thanks DaniSam, I will let you know when I get the results
26-06-2014 13:08 #44
Thanks so much ladies, you've been so welcoming and beyond helpful…I really appreciate it I've been Googling like mad (which is how I found this forum) and you've been able to answer so much for me
I've ordered a digital thermometer (although charting looks quite complex) and haven't bothered with the digital OPK yet…will sill stick with my cheapies until I can confirm I'm actually ovulating. Kind of feel disappointed that I haven't ovulated and impatient not knowing what happens from here! I'd like to have AF hurry up and come so I can increase my Clomid dosage in the hope that I ovulate and then start trying again….it all sounds so easy in my head!
Damnisam, I'm 1 day behind you (CD24 for me today). I'm surprised they're making you wait 3 weeks to see if you ovulate…do you know what the likelihood is for you to Ovulate still?
Tassiewife, good luck with the test results!

HI Girls,
Well called the doctor today as the lady who took my blood said it would be ready! BUT my normal gyn is away (which I knew about) but thought maybe someone else could look at my results but the ladt who is taking over from my normal doc isn't back till Tuesday so have to wait till then, when she calls me.
So like you DaniSam, I know have to wait the weekend and I am not happy All I wanna do is know if I have O'ed so I know where to go from here.
I am home sick today as I am feeling like crap and I think it is from everything going on and my nerves etc. Prob doesn't help that I can have down times in my life, and this isn't helping. I want to know now ! lol.. I am having a selfish day today and feeling down over such a simple thing I know. I am just sick of everyone in my life having babies and being able to get pregnant first go, some just by accident.
Anyway, for the moment rant over, sorry guys! Just having a 'poor me' moment
I am no on day 22, so only 2 days behind you girls which is good- I like having people in the same position and time frame as me- means we can all travel this road together ! xxx
26-06-2014 15:43 #46
Oh no Tassiewife! I don't think I could handle that waiting at all! I had my test on a Monday, was told to ring on the Thursday, but I couldn't wait that long and rang the day after my tests for the results and thank god they were in cos the waiting any longer would've killed me! Finger's crossed that not only does time fly for you, but also you get positive results for ovulation!
I'm so sorry things are getting to you. I know how hard it is when you hear about all these people around you getting pregnant without even trying. A colleague of mine announced her pregnancy last week and said she was wasn't even trying, so much so she was actually on the pill and fell pregnant….life just seems so unfair at times. But (and this is easier said I know!) I'd like to think that as hard as this all is, when we're finally holding our precious babies in our arms the wait and the hard times will all be worth it
I agree that it is so good having us all at a similar stage to talk to! My partner is super supportive and wants to be there to talk to me about it all, but I just feel better being able to talk to people that are going through the same thing as I am.

Hi Ladies,
I just had a call from my GYN telling me not to bother having another blood test on Monday. Instead she's posting me a script for Provera to take from CD34 (I'm currently CD24). Apparently I need to take it for 10 days which should bring on AF and then increase my Clomid from 25mg to 50mg and take it CD5-CD9. How long did you ladies take Provera before AF arrived? My GYN said it will take up to 10 days after my last tablet! I'm so impatient, waiting another 10 days just to take the Provera and then another 10 days taking the Provera, then another 10 days till AF arrives then another 10 days till we'll start DTD for 10 days and then can have my blood test just to see if I Ovulated…..That's like mid August just to see if I Ovulated!!! I think I'll go insane with all this waiting......
But that said, this will give me the motivation to lose the weight I've gained from coming off the pill (around 10kgs now and I feel disgusting!). We have a holiday coming up October and I would love to have lost the weight by then and fingers crossed my efforts will help with TTC! Diet starts Monday…..
How are you ladies going?
Have a super weekend
27-06-2014 16:40 #48
Thanks for your words Daisy82- I spoke with a friend and my DH and feeling a bit better now. Sometimes it is good to just get it all out to a range of ways
My DH is pretty good, well has gotten better over time. He is just as naive as others and think that getting pregnant is just a click of the fingers which is can be for some people. But over time has gotten really good, and come to my doc appointments just to listen with me
27-06-2014 16:51 #49
Whoa, good stuff with the phone call and the action you need to take, although when you explain how long you have to wait it is bloody scary !!!!!
I took my provera for 5 days and then a few days after that got my period. I don't know much about the drug but 10 days is a long time to take it for! I dont think it will tke 10 days for your AF to arrive but I am only assuming. I got my period like maybe 5 days later after taking it, but that was my first time taking it so maybe it is different after taking clomid
Its sucks when you add up all the time and come to August being the conclusion, when people who have healthy systems only have to wait like 30 days
Good stuff on being positive with the time to get into your weight loss! I am sure it will fall off

Hey ladies,
So I had a mud print above. I am currently day 37. So just a little in front
thats good news Daisy that you are getting provera. I think I took it for 10 days and I think AF arrived approx 5-7 days later. Bit it does seem like a long process. I have to wait a further 2 weeks and if no AF in that time then i get provera again. Very exciting for you - hope the 50mg works.
Ugh a man at work announced that he and his wife are having a baby. They got married after us and obviously it just happened straight away for them. I'm happy for them but I'm also thinking the why can't if be me.
My DH is also very supportive but he doesn't ask all the ins and outs and I don't really say much. I filter what he may want to know etc. don't want him to imagine his favourite pub burning down hahahaha.
Im so glad we are able to talk amongst ourselves. I'd go nuts if I had no one to vent to.
Hope your going ok tassiewife and hoping the results come in fast for you next week hope you both get some special time with your partners.
Have you much in for the weekend? I'm having a quiet one. Maybe a foot if shopping also lol.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak indirectly taking responsibility.Assad
accused Israel of trying to destabilize his country by attacking a military

(CBS 11 NEWS) – It's probably no surprise to women that men still, on average, make more money than they do. According to the Institute for Women's Policy Research, last year women made only 77-cents for every dollar that men made.
Experts also say women may be partially responsible for the disparity, because of their hesitance to negotiate. But more women are learning the art right here in North Texas.
"Women are perceived differently, especially in this southern culture," SMU Cox MBA student Gina Mussulman said. "We have this thing where we can't be as aggressive as the guys, and if we are, we're judged differently."
Mussulman knows she's entering a male dominated world, but she's already working to level the playing field by learning how to negotiate.
SMU Cox School of Business professor Robin Pinkley, Ph.D said, "If you can learn to have an alternative solution, you won't cave in and you're comfortable walking away."
Pinkley is Mussulman's professor and a sought after speaker. She's also a passionate advocate for pay equity and says women often don't get what they're worth, because women too often don't ask.
"They're more likely to negotiate when they think they're negotiating on behalf of others," Pinkley said. "So, one of the things that I recommend for women when they're negotiating, especially a salary, is to remember who else benefits? Their family."
Mussulman said she now feels more confident to enter the workforce and to ask for what she's worth when she does. "I do feel more empowered. I feel stronger in the negotiation and I'm comfortable putting aside [the feeling] 'I'm a female, and there are certain perceptions of me' and saying, 'I'm going to be treated equally and this is what I want to ask for.'"
Experts say that candidates who negotiate their salaries assertively, but not aggressively are perceived better than those who do not negotiate. They also want women to remember to negotiate without emotion and consider the benefits.
Just a note, if everything else but pay is equal women still have to work an extra nine years to make up for the $760,000 difference in starting salaries.

The men's soccer team (13-7-2) feel behind and couldn't catch up on Thursday as it lost to No. 1 seed Yavapai College 5-2 in the NJCAA Region I, Division I Semifinals in Prescott Valley.
Down 2-0, the No. 4 seeded Aztecs got on the board after Michael Bonda (Palo Verde HS) scored on a cross-pass from Yahya Kane (Al Baraka, Mauritania) in the 44th minute. In the second half, down 4-1 Pima responded when Roberto Zatarain (Ironwood Ridge HS) in the 66th. Tanner Bryant's (Sabino HS) inbound from the corner and Fabian Romero's (Sunnyside HS) back-heel kick towards the net, set up the goal.
The Aztecs were outshot 32-6 for the game and Ben Eyde (Salpointe Catholic HS) finished with eight saves.
The Aztecs will lose nine sophomores but have 20 freshman on the team.

Choice is a wonderful thing. It can mean the opportunity to look a dozen years younger than your actual age. Which, in this youth-obsessed culture, gives you extra advantages, whether you're thirty-something or a grandparent.
These choices include your teeth. Not just movie stars, but adults in all walks of life, are opting for cosmetic dental care that restore youthful vitality to their skin and faces. You might be surprised by the role fresh "young" teeth play in creating that overall first impression.
Your cosmetic dentist can bring you up to date on the incredible and youth-restoring dental options, like dental crowns and veneers, that are available to you. Options available at a fraction of the cost of risky and invasive surgery such as, say, a face-lift.
Whichever restorative dentistry procedure you agree to, or decline, is your personal choice. For example, suppose you're missing teeth. Maybe the gap doesn't show, and you've lived with it for awhile. Replacement with dental crowns or dental bridges might be recommended. The consequences of living with missing teeth are important, but the choice to replace that missing tooth and get one step closer to a beautiful smile is yours.
Just the same, it's your mouth and your decision. Whenever you have questions about your care, ask your local dentist and together you can do what's right for you.
Dental crowns (also known as "caps") are needed on teeth for various reasons. Two of the reasons crowns are needed is to restore broken and unaesthetic - ugly - teeth.
When crowns are well made, research shows that the average length of time before they wear out is approximately ten years. Because each person is unique, no one can tell you how long a dental crown will last. Even though cosmetic dentistry uses advanced materials, the most durable dental crown material is gold. Dental porcelain fused to gold is the next most durable; an all-porcelain dental crown is the least durable.
As stated earlier, each person is unique, but there are some situations that will cause a dental crown to fail sooner rather than later.
When replacement crowns are prescribed, there are certain steps that the dentist must complete. First, the dental crown must be removed. This can be accomplished by either wiggling the crown free or cutting the crown off the tooth. Underlying decay should be removed and fillings should be placed as needed. These fillings are referred to as "build-ups" or "foundations" for the new crown. The tooth should then be refined and a new dental crown can then be placed.
No one can tell you how long a dental crown will last. The length of time that they can last is different for each person. Therefore, maintaining regular six-month visits to your dentist is extremely important if you want to maintain a healthy mouth.

INVENTOR. 5 ANTON BANKO 25 20 A TORNEY ULTRASONIC METHOD FOR RETINAL ATTACHMENT CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION In applicant's copending application Ser. No. 762,286 filed on September 16, 1968, and which entire subject matter of the copending application is incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein, applicant discloses the method and apparatus for forming an opening or incision in the eye and the performing of surgical procedures.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to improvements in surgical procedures related to the eye, and more particularly for using ultrasonic energy waves to perform retina reattachment and treatment procedures.
The outstanding and unexpected results obtained by the practice of the method and apparatus of the present invention are attained by a series of features, steps and elements, working together in inter-related combination, and may be applied to biological organisms in general and particularly humans, and hence will be so illustrated and described.
Before proceeding to the details of the invention, let us first review briefly generally known facts of the eye, and the anatm my of the retina. The retina of the eye is attached to the underlying choroid at the optic nerve border posteriorly and at the ora serrata anteriorly. Between these two points it is in contact with but not attached to the choroid. The retina covers the entire inner aspect of the eyeball posterior to the ora serrata. The ora serrata is the junction of the retina and the ciliary body. In the average eye it is about 8 mm posterior to the limbus. The retina is composed of inelastic nerve tissue, consisting of ten distinct different layers. Normally, it is transparent. When detached it appears gray. Most common of retina detachment is the partial separation (detachment) of the retina from the choroid. The superior temporal part of the retina is most commonly affected, but any part or even the entire retina may become detached.
Reattachment of the retina can be accomplished only by surgery. To date essentially four different approaches are presently being used on humans to obtain this reattachment. In one of these a partially penetrating diathermy electrode is passed through the area of the sclera which corresponds to the retinal defects. The subretinal fluid is then drained by perforating the sclera and choroid. Drainage of the subretinal fluid is important so that the retina can settle back against the choroid. In a few weeks a cicatrical bond is formed. It involves the retina, choroid and sclera.
Cryosurgery is another approach used in the same way as diathermy. The supercool probe causes a chorioretinal scar with minimal scleral damage, making the operation less hazardous.
The photocoagulation process is one in which a small choroidal retinal inflammatory exudate is produced by directing a strong light from a carbon arc source through the dilated pupil. This treatment is used in minimal detachments and postoperatively to supplement inadequate diathermy.
Laser energy (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) is a form of photocoagulation that is used less frequently than carbon arc photocoagulation, but has been used on humans.
The use of ultrasonic energy has also been proposed for retina reattachment in which the energy is transmitted from the exterior of the eye for retina reattachment. In one procedure chorioretinal lesions were produced with a focused sound beam which entered the eye anterior to the equator. Frequencies in the mega cycles range were used. In addition 25,000 cycle per second energy has been applied by pressing the tip of the probe against the sclera in the region where a lesion on the retina is desired. At 25,000 cycles per second chorioretinal lesions can be produced by a 1.5 mm diameter tip vibrating with a stroke of 50 microns (.002") for several seconds. Scleral damage is unavoidable.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to the treatment of the eye and is based upon the discovery that the retina reattachment may be accomplished by inserting an ultrasonic probe within the eye and propagating the energy waves directly to the detached portions. Accordingly, the front part of the ultrasonic probe is inserted into the eye through a sclerotomy over the pars plana opposite to the retinal defect. The sclerotomy will be bridged with a preplaced mattress suture of which the tightening will prevent vitreous loss during the operation. The tip of the ultrasonic probe can be positioned in the desired region, in the proximity or adjacent to the retina, by a micromanipulator. The amount of ultrasonic energy emitted by the tip, vibrating at a given frequency, is proportional-to the vibratory stroke of motion and the number of cycles of vibration (time of vibration). Both factors are precisely controlled. The amount of ultrasonic radiation is limited to produce small choroidal retinal inflammatory irritation, sufficient to form a delicate weld like bond between the retina and choroid, but insufi'icient to create an explicit lesion. The sclera is not considerably effected by this procedure.
Unlike diathermy and the cryo probe the tip of the ultrasonic probe remains practically at the same temperature, whether it vibrates or not. It is for this reason that any transfer of any kind of energy practically ceases as the tip stops to vibrate.
The above mentioned sclerotomy may be formed in accordance with applicant's copending patent application hereinabove referred to, and may be used for insertion of other tools and imtruments beside the ultrasonic probe, some of which may, by way of illustration, be a two-way bundle of fibers, of which one set is used for the illumination of the interior of the eye and the other set in the bundle is used to carry the image back to the viewer, thus enabling a thorough inspection of the interior of the eye before and after the operation.
The present invention is based on the discovery that the detached retina portion may be joined by utilizing vibrational wave energy that is introduced within the eye cavity in small amounts and dosages. The joinder of the detached portion is accomplished without necessarily employing radical surgical procedures related to high intensity or high power ultrasonic energy and in a manner eliminate any side efiects or secondary results which would be dangerous to the patient. As is well known, by transmitting the energy through sclera and choroid, there is a possibility of doing damage to tissues adjacent to the probe. By introducing energy that is greater than is required to perform the bond (because of the attenuation through sclera and choroid), other portions of the organ may also be affected thereby.
The present invention accomplishes the beneficial results by the direct application of sonic, transonic or ultrasonic vibrational wave energy directly within the eye and only to the particular detached portion thereof at its location. In this manner the detached portion of the retina can be completely secured in place by the application directly of tolerable amounts of energy for short periods of time and, in particular, times which are so short that the heating effects normally associated with the application of concentrated wave energy to the human body do not present a significant problem. It has been found that the detached portions may be joined together without any damage to sclera or other tissue in other regions of the eye, and without introducing major amounts of energy. Unlike in other standard procedures, the radiated energy which has not been absorbed at the retina-choroid interface to produce the desired bond, is directed out of the eye eliminating the possibility of affecting other tissue in the eye.
In practicing the present invention, surgical procedures are involved to expose the suitable portion of the eye, and a point of entry is formed for the insertion of an ultrasonic probe to be guided to the location of the detached portion in the eye in order that the wave energy from the end of the probe can be applied directly to the detached portion. By insertion of the probe which enters the eye at an exposed area it can be properly controlled with a minimum of danger to the organ. Once the probe is inserted either in contact or close proximity to the area to be treated, the vibrational wave energy of the end of the probe propagates wave energy directly into the detached portion, thereby providing an efficient transfer of energy into the detached portion and its resultant joinder. The probe can be advanced in such a way, that there is direct physical contact as well as to transmit transverse vibration of the energy thereto.
In accordance with another feature of the invention, means for controlling the propagation path is provided in the form of a guard in surrounding relation to the vibratory probe portion such that it minimizes the danger of the energy being transmitted to other portions which are not required to be treated.

DETAILED DISCUSSION OF THE DRAWINGS Referring now to the drawings and particularly to FIG. 1 thereof, we see the schematic representation of an eye 10 having the various portions thereof including a retina 12, in a particular area 14 with spaced apart detached portions 16 and 18 from the choroid 20. The area 14 is detectable in a conventional manner such that the surgeon is aware of its location and will conduct the operation with the intent to rejoin the detached portions, or portion, to the choroid 20 without substantially, if at all injuring the associatedparts thereof including the sclera 22. The wall 25 is intended to define any portion of the eye which when pierced will connect the interior of the eye to the exterior and will generally include all, or portions, of the retina 12, choroid 20 and sclera 22, or the sclera 22 and ciliary body 24.
Once the partial separation, or detachment of the retina 12 from the choroid 20 is detected, and this generally occurs with respect to the superior temporal part of the retina which is most commonly affected, but any part or even the entire retina may become detached, then the reattachment of the retina can be accomplished in accordance with the teachings of the present invention by first forming an incision or opening 27 in the eye 10 to permit the insertion of a probe 30 therethrough to reach the specific area to be treated. The process of forming the opening 27 is discussed in greater detail in applicant's copending patent application hereinabove referred to, but is hereinafter described to illustrate its use with the present invention, since it is capable of being used not only for the reattachment of the retina but for various other operative procedures and uses both with the eye and other portions of the anatomy and is accordingly so described and intended.
Once the opening is formed the probe 30 is inserted therein such that the tip having a distal end or vibratory surface 32 is positioned within the vitreous material 34 contained in the eye 10 and the vibrational wave energy may be propagated through the vitreous material 34 to obtain a joining or a bonding of the detached portions 16 and 18 to the wall 25, such as the choroid 20 and the sclera 22. The vibrational wave energy or ultrasonic energy, as the terms are herein used, is intended to include vibratory energy in the frequency range of from 1,000 cycles per second to 20 million cycles per second although the preferable range is generally from 10,000 cycles per second to 100,000 cycles per second.
Referring further to FIG. 1, it will be seen that the apparatus or probe 30 for ultrasonically performing surgical procedures on a biological organism, such as a human, may include an ultrasonic transducer or motor 35 for efi'ecting the necessary high frequency vibrations of the vibratory element or tool member 36 having a distal end or output surface 32. The ultrasonic motor 35, as illustrated may be in the form of a driving member adapted for being hand held as by an operator 38, and generally comprising a tubular housing or casing 40 into which an insert unit supporting the tool member 36 may be partially telescoped. The ultrasonic motor 35 is energized by an oscillation generator 42, with a power cable 44, connecting the two together. The generator is an oscillator adapted to produce electrical energy having ultrasonic frequency.
The ultrasonic motor 35 may be one of a variety of electromechanical types, such as electrodynamic, piezoelectric or magnetostrictive. The ultrasonic motor for effecting surgical procedures through hand directed tools of suitable configuration, which are readily replaceable or inter-changeable with other work performing tools in acoustically vibrated material treating devices, may be of the type in which each work tool member is rigidly joined, in end-to-end relationship to a connecting body or acoustic impedance transformer and to a transducer which may fonn an insert unit or asembly which is removably supported in a housing containing a coil in surrounding relationship to the transducer and receiving alternating current for producing an alternating electromagnetic field.
The transducer in the ultrasonic motor 35 is longitudinally dimensioned so as to have lengths which are whole multiples of half wavelengths of the compressional waves established therein at the frequency of the biased alternating current supplied so that longitudinal loops of motion as indicated by arrow 45 occur with maximum displacement at the vibratory surface 32 of the vibratory element 36 that is rigidly connected to the insert unit. Thus, the optimum amplitude of Iongitudinal vibration and hyper-accelerations of vibratory element 36 is achieved, and such amplitude is determined by the relationship of the masses on both sides of the nodal region of the tool member which may be made effective to either magnify or reduce the amplitude of the vibrations received from the transducer.
The vibratory element 36 may be permanently attached to the transducer, for example, by brazing, solder or the like, or the tool may be provided with a threaded stud adapted to be screwed into a tapped hole in the end of the transducer for effecting the rigid connection of the tool.
The ultrasonic motor 35 in the casing 40 may include a magnetostrictive transducer for intermittent operation, which is composed of a stack of magnetostrictive laminations and a metallic connecting body part of which is the vibratory element 36. Incorporated in the ultrasonic motor 35 are one or two coils. When two coils are used one is the driving coil, and the other is the pickup coil. The driving coil carries the DC and RF energizing currents from the ultrasonic generator 42. The DC current provides the magnetic biasing necessary for an efficient operation of the magnetostrictive laminations. The RF current has generally a sinusoidal shape. It provides the energy required to initiate and maintain the ultrasonic vibration at the resonance of the vibratory system. This current is generating an alternate magnetic field which is superimposed on the biasing one. The ratio of the two fields and their relation to saturation of the lamination is such to provide the greater electromechanical coupling and transducer efficiently with the smallest possible exciting power.
The pickup coil is located at one end of the stack of magnetostrictive laminations thus sensing the variations of strength of the magnetic field due to changing in stress in the cross-section of the magnetostrictive laminations. The variation in field strength causes an inductive voltage as an electromotive force for the current through a closed loop comprising the pickup and the generator oscillator 42. The generator 42 responds to the maximum signal which is produced at resonance, so that it will drive the system at its momentary resonant frequency regardless of the particular load at that time applied by the vibratory element 36 within the eye 10.
The generator 42 is provided with control means for setting the time of duration of the emmision of ultrasonic energy by adjusting the dial 47. For power adjustment dial 49 is provided which controls the amount of power delivered to the ultrasonic motor.
The vibratory stroke of the distal end 32 of the vibratory element 36 is controlled by manual setting of the power dial 49 on the generator. The time of duration of ultrasonic radiation is defined by positioning the dial 47 on the generators front panel, and the energy may be continuous or intermittent.
The vibratory stroke and the time of duration of vibration are the only parameters controlling the amount and with it the effect of ultrasonic vibration. These two parameters can be easily adjusted very precisely, so that results can be controlled and reproduced by setting of the control dials 49 and 47 on the generator 42.
The vibratory element 36 may be of Monel and one-half wavelength long, t/2. where A c/f, c being the velocity of sound in a Monel rod, and f being the operating frequency. The A/4 long output section has to have the minimum possible outside diameter not greater than 1.5mm sufficient in diameter sufflcient only to create a relatively small inflammatory irritation at the distal end 32. A line like effect may be produced by maneuvering the motor 35, to any position by movement along an angular path as indicated by arrow 48, in such a way to guide the tip 32 over the desired region. A small diameter at the vibratory surface 32 is essential to be able to work through a relatively small incision 27. ln the proximity of the nodal region of the wave guide a flange like increase in diameter is provided for supporting purposes.
The vibratory probe 30 is provided with means for controlling the propagation path as by using guard means 46 that may be secured to the casing 40 of the motor 35 in any conmember 51 mounted in coaxial alignment with the vibratory element 36 and designed to prevent rubbing between the vibratory element and the housing when the tip is vibrating, thus preventing generation of heat due to friction. The protective tubing 51 also serves as an insulator or as a reflector to prevent ultrasonic energy being radiated except from the vibratory surface 32, so that the propagation path is directed at the retina portion to be reattached. The protective tubing 51 may extend the length of the vibratory element 36 or beyond it if desired. The guard means 46 also serves to support the front part of the ultrasonic probe 30 when sliding axially in the supporting means 50 positioned within the opening 27 and is easily removable to permit the cleaning of the instrument.
The supporting means 50, as seen with respect to FIGS. 6- -8, extends through the wall 25, such as the sclera 22 and ciliary body 24 over the most convenient region of the pars plana, and is positioned in and tightened in the incision or opening 27 by a double mattress suture 52. The support means 50 should have the ability to rotate within the opening 27. To provide a seal with the protective tubing 51 and facilitate its sliding for relative axial movement the supporting member 50 should be provided with sealing means 65, which may be in the form of an O-ring 68 contained in seat 66, and have a minimum outside diameter to be inserted into the incision 27, and possibly supported and rotated by a micromanipulator. Finally the supporting member 50 should eventually provide for an increase in volume of the vitreous cavity in order to reduce the pressure in the eye 10 during the operation.
in performing the surgical procedure we initially form the opening 27 in the wall 25 of the eye 10, which may extend through sclera 22, choroid 20, and retina 12, or the sclera 22 and ciliary body over the pars plana, the latter being preferred. The formation of the opening 27 seen with respect to FIGS. 6 through 8, is formed by supporting means 50, which comprises a tubular body portion 53 which may be of circular cross-sectional area so that it may be rotatable after it is seated through the wall 25 of the eye 10, and includes the passageway 54 extending from the front end 56 to the rear end 58, which rear end has an upper annular flange 60 extending radially outwardly from the body portion 53 proximate the upper end thereof and adapted to overlap the outer surface of the eye 10. A lower annular flange 62 extending radially outwardly from the body portion 53 proximate the lower end thereof is adapted to extend over the inner surface of the wall portion 25. Retaining means 63 is defined by the spacing between the flanges and forms a groove 64, adapted to contain the wall portion 25 of the eye 10. The sealing means 65 provided in the passageway 54 may include a seat 66 containing the sealing member 68, which is illustrated in the form of an O- ring to provide the sealing engagement with any element or instrumentation inserted within the passageway 54, thus also permitting sliding engagement for relative movement with any instrument. Due to the viscosity of the vitreous material a close tolerance at one point in the passageway 54 with the protective tubing 51, or other instrument, may be sufl'icient to provide the sealing engagement required.
The supporting member 50 has mounted coaxially therewith cutting means in the form of cutting element 70 which includes an enlarged head section 72, adapted to be coupled to an instrument if desired, and having a base section 74 extending through the passageway 54 and terminating in a cutting surface 76 of a selected configuration. Locking means 78 is provided between the supporting means 50 and cutting means 70 in the form of a pin 80 extending from the base section 74 into a groove 82 contained within the passageway 54 to prevent angular rotation between said respective means during their insertion into the eye.
In actual practice the combined supporting means 50 and cutting means 70 are coupled together as a unit and inserted in the direction of arrow 84 as seen in FIG. 6, such that the cutting surface 76 pierces the wall 25 and is moved axially forventional manner and which may be in the form of a tubular ward until the position in FIG. 7 is reached and the supporting means 50 is in seated position and retained in place by the retaining means 63. The contour of the cutting surface 76 being pressed into the eye 10 is of increasing cross-section and designed as a conical shape until it embraces the groove 64 of the supporting member 50. The lower flange 62 has a rounded edge 86 and tapered front such as to continue essentially the taper of the cutting surface 76 as it is forced through the wall 25. Once the position in FIG. 7 is reached the wall 25 is retained within the groove 64 and the two mattress sutures 52 may be conveniently tightened so as to prevent any of the vitreous material from flowing out and providing sealing engagement between the supporting means 50 and wall 25 The cutting element 70 can now be withdrawn, by disengaging the locking means 78 and removing the cutting element 70 in the direction of arrow 85, leaving the passageway 54 open between the interior and exterior of the eye and in which case part of the vitreous material will tend to flow therein. It is now possible to insert through the passageway 54 different tools and instruments which normally could be attached to a solid structure like a micromanipulator, which will provide the stability and a supporting point for the front of the instrument, thus relieving the strain on the surgeon's hand. Removal of the supporting means 50 when required, is accomplished by inserting a conically pointed rod (not shown) instead of the cutting element 70, to engage the locking means 78, and to minimize damage on the eye tissue during the withdrawal of the supporting means 50, during this latter process an additional pair of mattress sutures are to be gradually tightened as the supporting means 50 is gradually removed from the wall to close up the opening 27. As discussed in applicant's copending patent application the puncturing or cutting element 70 is a pointed two edged knife, designed to start an incision and enlarge it to the proper length in the desired direction, the direction is defined by the positioning pin 80 contained thereon. An advantage of reinserting of a conically pointed rod into the passageway 54 before the removal of the supporting member 50 is that it forces the vitreous material from the passageway 54 back within the eye. Insertion of the rod into the eye increases the pressure in the eye, thus reducing the clamping force around the supporting member, facilitating its removal.
Accordingly, once the supporting member 50 is in place, as
I seen in FIG. 8, guard means 46 is in sealing engagement with the O-ring 68 and the vibratory element 36 extends therethrough and as seen by the arrow 48 the support member may be angularly tilted such that the vibratory surface 32 as seen in FIGS. 2-5, may be properly manipulated to the desired position for propagating the energy waves.
Applicant has found that in accordance with the present invention small amounts of vibrational energy can be utilized to, in a sense, form a fusion or joinder of overlapping sections of the layers of the wall 25 which as illustrated in FIG. 1, are generally the retina l2, choroid 20, and sclera 22, this minimal amount of energy with a relatively low power unit which the generator is capable of producing which may be in the range of 2 to 100 watts, is sufficient to obtain this joinder which may be either continuous, or as seen in FIG. 4, a plurality of individual bonds or joinings 90 may be formed.
The probe 30 once inserted within the eye 10 as indicated in FIG. I, is then brought into energy transferring relationship with the detached portions I6 and 18 in the work area 14 as by either physical engagement of the distal end 32 therewith as seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, or in spaced apart relationship a seen in FIG. 5, with the energy waves propagated through the vitreous material 34. As seen with respect to FIGS. 2-4 a pattern of bonds may be formed which include a first or outer series of bonds 90 surrounding the respective portions 16 and 18 such that a series of tack welds provide the necessary attachment between the retina l2 and choroid 20 and thereafter the vitreous material 34 between the retina l2 and choroid 20 may be removed by either using a tool other than the vibratory element 36, or the vibratory element 36 may be brought into conacting pressural relationship in the direction of arrow 91 to force the vitreous material 34 from between the portions 16 or 18 and the wall 25. In FIG. 2, one portion 16 is joined such that a second or inner series of welds 92 is obtained immediately adjacent the free edges of the detached portion 16 of the retinal wound. Once this is completed on one side thereof the opposite side is reattached as seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, such that the respective series or sets of bonds and 92 are obtained. Obviously, the size, location and shape of each bond 90 and 92 will vary with respect to the size, location and extent of the damage that has taken place with respect to the detached portions 16 and I8. An end series of bonds 96, spaced apart to form a continuous seal, as seen in FIG. 4, may be necessary to prevent vitreous to again penetrate between retina l2 and choroid 20. These bonds 96 may be applied at or on the edges of the detached portions 16 and 18 of the retinal wound.
FIG. 5 illustrates the probe 30 being brought into engagement such that the vibratory surface 32 is in spaced relation to the detached portion 16 and the bond 92 is immediately formed adjacent the edge thereof. The guard means 46 is seen extending beyond the vibratory surface 32 of the vibratory element 36 to engage and retain the retina portion 16 in place. The vibratory energy is applied in direction of double headed arrow 94 and after the bonds 92 are formed is removed in the direction of arrow 95. As seen the vitreous material 34 is removed by engaging the end of the guard means 46 against the detached portion 16 and moving the probe towards the wall portion 25 to squeeze out the vitreous material from therebetween.
The guard means 46 is held in position such that the axial outer surface of the vibratory element 36 propagates its waves only from the distal end 32 thereof. The guard means 46 has an extended lip as seen in FIG. 5, such that it extends beyond the distal end 32 and the distal end is maintained in spaced relation with the waves propagated through the vitreous material 34. If this approach is utilized the guard means 46 acts to compress the overlapping areas and force out the material therebetween. If desired the guard means 46 or even the vibratory element 36 can be coupled to conventional electronic means such that the axial force applied is controlled and the degree of pressure can be indicated exteriorally of the human which enables the operator to know when the requisite amount of pressure required is reached.
Depending upon the location and degree of separation the energy level and its amount are controlled by dials 47 and 49 of generator 42 and furthermore a frequency in the range between 1,000 cycles per second and 20 million cycles per second may be used, such that the proper vibrational pattern desired is obtained. As far as the actual joining is concerned it is to be appreciated that a minimal amount of energy will effect the bond which is capable of retaining the overlapped sections of the retina 12 to the wall 25, such that the eye 10 may thereafter function in a proper manner. By maintaining the distal end 32 at a minimum diameter, generally in the range of .010 to .060 inches, and by intermittently transmitting this energy to the distal end thereof a minimal temperature rise will occur in the tissue portions such that no damage is noticeable. The energy is propagated generally in the direction normal to the interface of the two layers to be joined and although this energy is in a longitudinal mode it is appreciated that either elliptical, flexural, torsional, or even corkscrew motions may be propagated to form the bonds.
Many other changes could be effected in the particular constructions, and in the methods of use and construction, and in specific details thereof, hereinbefore set forth, without substantially departing from the invention intended to be defined herein, the specific description being merely of embodiments capable of illustrating certain principles of the invention.

Teh Beginnin'
Published by Chudz in the blog Chudz's blog. Views: 68
This is just some goofiness that I started in another blog and will maybe never finish. Chudz is played by big-ol-fat me. Mr. Beanie Bear is a portly black bear who has a penchant for wearing one of those old-fashioned beanies that has a propeller on top. And Chudz Blog is a cross between Frankenstein and a Transformer. It was done along the lines of a script for a TV show. Without the formatting of a real TV show script. Enjoy!
Or not, hehe.
Chudz Blog: (Entry 1) Stardate . . . um . . . today!
(The Scene: Lightning strikes the rod placed on top of the tower; the voltage crackles down the wires and into . . . Chudz Blog! Chudz cackles with glee and begins doing the Happy Chudz Dance, which looks like the dancing gopher from Caddyshack. And with an electronic groan, Chudz Blog awakens as the current from the strike blows out several expensive appliances that weren't plugged into surge-suppressors.)
Chudz says: Son of a *BEEP!* Mr. Beanie Bear, get the fire extinguisher, quickly!
Mr. Beanie Bear says: Roar!
Chudz reminds himself to get Mr. Beanie Bear a vocabulary book for his birthday, as his side-kick trundles out of the room.
Chudz Blog starts coughing from all the smoke that is gathering in the room, shaking loose a few extraneous pieces. Of course, a heavy one lands on Chudz's foot.
Chudz shouts: Owie! Son of a *Beep* *Beep* *Beepity* *Beep*
Chudz waves in thanks to the mechanical hand that is hovering over the censor button, and the hand gives him a thumbs-up sign in return.
Mr. Beanie Bear rushes back into the room.
Mr. Beanie Bear says: Roar!
Chudz and Chudz Blog say: Huh?
Mr. Beanie Bear starts a game of charades, gesturing wildly.
Chudz says: Goldie Locks ate your Lean Quisine meal?
Mr. Beanie Bear gives him the evil-eye and continues gesturing.
Chudz Blog says: Hmm, you want to get a brazilian wax?
Chudz and Mr. Beanie Bear both cringe.
Mr. Beanie Bear thinks of getting a new job, but continues.
Chudz says: Oh, I get it. The mini-fridge holding the beer is on fire.
Chudz thinks for a moment.
Chudz Blog says: Auuuggghhh!!
Mr. Beanie Bear thinks, finally.
Chudz yells: OMG!
(The scene fades as they all scramble out of the room. . . .)

The Quest For Economic Progress
Since its inception in 1947, Pakistan has fluctuated from one crisis to another. Indeed, its very existence
has been a painful one, punctuated by periods of superficial progress and on the surface the emergence as a
meaningful player on the international scene. Nothing exemplifies this more than the Pakistan's economic
legacy. Created over 50 years ago Pakistan has failed to develop its economy on a similar trajectory to that
of its contemporary peers. The result of this failure has been that tens of millions of Pakistanis today
languish in unprecedented levels of poverty, poor health and illiteracy. The country is plagued by
corruption and saddled with debt to both internal and external creditors at overwhelming rates of interest.
Far from improving, the situation is steadily deteriorating, weakening Pakistan further and leaving it
exposed to manipulative foreign entities such as the IMF and other international institutions and nations.
The very real effects of this today include load shedding of electricity in major cities for over 14 hours at a
time, a near default on financial obligations and harrowing cases of human tragedy ranging from suicide to
selling offspring due to crushing poverty and sheer desperation.
