I. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a system for measuring the limbus-to-limbus diameter of an eye and more specifically, to a system using laser-slit illumination of the eye for measurement of the limbal diameter and deriving an anterior chamber diameter from the limbal diameter.
II. Description of the Related Art
A common measurement for an eye care professional in fitting lenses or performing surgical procedures such as laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) or for inserting an inter-corneal lens (ICL) is to measure the diameter of the cornea or the limbus-to-limbus measurement. The limbus is a junction of the cornea of the eye and the sclera which extends all around the periphery of the cornea. This limbal diameter measurement is used to determine the diameter of the external boundary of the cornea and is used with LASIK surgery or contact lens fitting. This limbal diameter measurement is also used to determine the internal interior chamber diameter or angle-to-angle measurement which is critical for properly fitting an ICL in a patient's eye.
It is known to obtain the limbal diameter measurement using what is commonly known as a Holliday disk, or a scale held near the patient's eye, or a caliper held near the patient's eye. None of these known techniques provide for a precise measurement of the limbal diameter.
If the calculated limbal diameter is sufficiently larger than the actual limbal diameter, it is possible that an ICL that is too large may be incorrectly inserted into the patient's eye; thereby causing pressure to the trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal. These problems could have an adverse effect on the natural aqueous flow from the eye or on the refractive outcome following ICL implantation. Conversely, a calculated limbal diameter that is too small could result in a lens that is too small for the patient's eye. This could be problematic because the ICL could move out of place.
Therefore it is important that an easy and accurate system to measure limbal diameter be obtained.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a system in accordance with the present invention being used on a patient's eye;
FIG. 2 is a flow diagram of a portion of the preferred system in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an alternate embodiment of a system in accordance with the present invention.
A system for measuring a diameter of a limbus of an eye and for determining iris-angle diameters is described below.
When a beam of light is directed on or near the annular limbal region connecting the cornea to the sclera in addition to local scatter, a continuous ring of light emanating from the limbus can be seen. This so called limbal-ring appears for both visible and infrared illumination and for both monochromatic (e.g., laser or LED) and continuous spectra (e.g., white-light slit-beam). The illuminated limbal-ring usually occurs must clearly when the illumination directly impinges the limbal region. The limbal-ring can also be seen, but with far less clarity, by indirectly illuminating the limbus via iris scatter or corneal fiber optic conduction.
It is believed that when light impinges any part of the limbus, the light enters a circumferential ring of stromal collagen fibers. These collagen fibers act as a light-pipe and operate to direct the impinging light around the entire circumference of the limbal region. The annular emanation of light thus marks an anatomical ring of collagen fibers. These collagen fibers are directly associated with the limbus and iris angle. This limbal-fiber-ring, buried within the fibrous tunic of the eye, was previously discovered with x-ray diffraction. This limbal-fiber-ring acts to maintain the shape of the internally pressurized eye at the limbal joint connecting the cornea to the sclera.
To accurately determine the diameter of the limbal-ring, the ring should preferably be clearly illuminated using the above-described light-piping effect. It is preferred that extraneous surface scatter and indirect illumination via the cornea, iris, or anterior chamber be minimized. Therefore, limbal-ring illumination is preferably accomplished using a narrow beam directly impinging the limbus.
FIG. 1 shows a system 10, in accordance with the present invention, for measuring a diameter of a limbus of an eye 12. System 10 includes an image recorder 14 to be placed at a known location apart from the eye 12 for recording an illuminated limbus image, at least a first illumination source 16, and a computing device 18. An output device 19; focusing lens 20, a reflecting mirror 22, and an optional fixation target 24 are also preferably included in system 10. It will be appreciated that system 10 could be incorporated into a comprehensive eye measurement system, such as the ORBSCAN� system sold by Bausch & Lomb or system 10 can be a hand-held stand alone system as shown in FIG. 1.
The optional fixation target 24 includes a fixation light source 26, a pin hole aperture 28, and a beam splitter 30 all cooperating to illuminate a small dot of light along line 32 so as to facilitate fixation of the eye 12 along line 32, which corresponds to the viewing axis of camera 14.
In operation illumination source 16 directs a light beam at a first known location relative to the image recorder 14 for illuminating the limbus 34 along line 36. Line 36 represents the light from illumination source 16 that has been reflected by a mirror 22. The illuminated limbal ring 34 then is recorded by image recorder 14 which is preferably a charge couple device (CCD) video camera. Computer 18, using image analysis locates the illuminated limbal position in 3-dimensional space by triangulating the beam in the surface scattered light recorded by the camera 14. The limbal diameter is then calculated from the image of the illuminated ring based on the known distance to the eye. Accurate limbal diameters cannot be determined in the region of the directly impinging light because the directly impinging light from source 16 overwhelms the camera 14 at the region of the eye immediately adjacent of the impinging light. Therefore, the limbal diameters are preferably pieced together from at least two different images. As one skilled in the art will appreciate, the registration of the different images by computer 18 is facilitated using known techniques such as iris texture and pupil edge cues.
Illumination source 16 may provide visible or infrared illumination or the preferred red laser light may be used. The preferred embodiment of illumination source 16 uses an infrared diode laser light collimated into narrow cylindrical beam or short-slit. This provides an economical unobtrusive illumination source and gives superior contrast to the iris and pupil images. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, any illumination source 16 may be used that provides adequate illumination of the limbal region in order for the camera 14 and computer 18 to record and detect the limbal region.
The image recorder, preferably a video camera such as a CCD camera 14 is focused on the limbal plane defined by line 32 and has a narrow beam of light at a fixed angle from the camera that illuminates the limbus at multiple locations. The fixed angle of the illumination source 16 from the image recorder 14 is preferably from about 25� to about 90�. The multiple illuminations are preferably implemented in sequence and can be achieved in a number of ways. A first method is where the system 10 has a single fixed beam (represented by line 36), as shown in FIG. 1, and the single fixed beam is manually repositioned a number of times (at least two) in order for the camera 14 to obtain a sufficient number of images to define the limbal diameter. A second embodiment includes two or more fixed beams, such as shown and described below in connection with FIG. 3, taking images in rapid succession. A third embodiment is where a single illumination source is constructed such that the beam impinging upon the patient's eye is rotated and scanned around the limbus and images are recorded by the camera 14 during this scanning procedure.
As those skilled in the art will appreciate, computer 18 may be a stand alone computer, such as a personal computer or it could be built into a unified instrument as is preferred and shown in FIG. 1. Computer 18 preferably includes a frame grabber 38 or other device for digitizing images from camera 14. Computer 18 preferably further includes an iris-angle calculator 42 and an ICL calculator 44 described move fully below.
After a sufficient number of illuminated limbal images are recorded by camera 14 and digitized in a memory 40 of computer 18, the computer then processes the images, as described in relation to FIG. 2 below.
FIG. 2 discloses a flow chart 46 representing software that sets forth the preferred iris-angle calculator 42 and ICL calculator 44 for a patient's eye. This allows a physician to accurately fit an ICL for a patient and thereby achieve optimal results for the patient.
Step 48 of FIG. 2 causes camera 14 and digitizer 38 to acquire multiple images, in a rapid fashion, of the illuminated limbal area. It is preferred that the images be acquired as rapidly as possible to minimize the effects of system 10 and eye 12 movement, therefore allowing for the most accurate measurements.
Step 50 then causes computer 18 to analyze the image scene. This analysis includes several steps including the location of the direct slit image, the limbal illumination ring, the fixation target, and a pupil boundary. The location of these portions of each image are preferably done to the nearest pixel accuracy. This will allow a limbal diameter to be measured to accuracy within 0.1 mm. The next portion of Step [50] includes precisely detecting, preferably to sub-pixel accuracy, the edges of the direct slit image by known techniques. The detected direct slit image is then triangulated into three-dimensional space (3-space) and the outer edges of the limbal-ring are then precisely detected. Here the edge is defined as a mid-threshold point near the maximum gradient in back scattered illumination. And finally Step 50 concludes with preferably precisely locating a centroid of the fixation target 24 that is projected onto the eye as described above.
Step 52 then determines the limbal figure, which is defined as the annular area between the detected edges of Step 50 of the limbal-ring projected onto the best limbal plane. The best limbal plane is determined by known techniques. Imaging and measurements are then preferably registered to a common coordinate system to eliminate instrument and eye movement between the multiple images. The best limbal plane in 3-space is then determined from the triangulated slit measurements of Step 50. Next, the limbal edges are projected onto the best limbal plane. And finally, the different limbal edges are integrated from the different images that have been derived from Step 48 and Step 50.
Step 54 then determines the iris-angle diameter and includes iris-angle calculator 42. Preferably, this iris-angle diameter is calculated by interpolating the iris-angle diameter from the measured limbal ring diameter. The accuracy of the interpolation will increase as anatomical research over different populations is accomplished to empirically determine the relationship between limbal-ring diameter and the iris-angle diameter. For example, a diameter of a typical limbal figure will extend from about 10.4 mm to about 13.2 mm. A limbus diameter then of 11 mm will most likely result in an iris-angle diameter which is about a millimeter larger or in the particular example 12 mm. This falls within the limbal figure defined by its inner and outer edges. It is believed that the iris-angle diameter can be accurate to within 0.1 to 0.2 mms where most of the variance comes from anatomical differences. Direct anatomical measurements can be derived from geometrically accurate B-scans of the anterior segment, using ultrasound or optical technologies (e.g., ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM), or optical coherence tomography (OCT), as well as other technologies. B-scans are 2-D sections constructed from A-scans. A-scans give scattering amplitude versus depth via echo time (UBM) or interference path length (OCT). To generate geometrically accurate B-scans from the original A-scans, measurement geometry must be taken into account, in addition to the diagnostic wave speed for translating temporal measurements or path length into A-scan depth, and wave refraction (acoustic or optical) occurring a media interfaces.
Step 56 determines an ICL size and includes ICL calculator 44. Preferably, the ICL size is calculated based on the determined iris-angle diameter. The ICL size is then presented to a user on the display 19 connected to system 10.
FIG. 3 discloses an alternate embodiment in accordance with the present invention. Specifically, FIG. 3 discloses a system similar to that disclosed above with reference to FIG. 1 except that the embodiment of FIG. 3 includes an additional illumination source 16′ and a reflection mirror 22′ and also a switching source 58 for sequentially switching the illumination sources 16 and 16′ for obtaining the required multiple limbal images. In addition, FIG. 3 shows the use of a light filter 60 for filtering out unwanted light frequencies thereby providing a recorded limbus having an optimal contrasting image.
There has been shown and described a system for measuring the limbal diameter and it will be appreciated that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the descriptions set forth without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, various illumination sources may be used, as well as various image recorders. In addition, system 10 could have a fixed focus and therefore, the entire system 10 is moved relative to the eye 12 until a focused limbus illumination is achieved.

From the Publisher'This book is a welcomed and outstanding companion to Violence and Social Orders by North, Wallis, and Weingast. The editors apply the earlier framework to numerous countries and draw lessons from which we gain considerable insights into modern development.' Lee J. Alston, University of Colorado
'The rigorous analyses of In the Shadow of Violence empirically demonstrate the explanatory power of the theory advanced by North, Wallis, and Weingast in Violence and Social Orders, corroborating their novel understanding of economic underdevelopment as a violence-reducing equilibrium.' Benito Arruñada, University Pompeu Fabra, Spain
'In In the Shadow of Violence, eight knowledgeable specialists address the politics and economics of eight key countries in the developing world. They explore as well what North, Wallis, and Weingast call the logic of 'limited access', wherein, it is held, political order comes at the expense of sustained economic growth. Using case materials, they evaluate this claim and teach us much about the political economy of development.' Robert Bates, Harvard University
'The essays in this provocative volume, written by analytically attuned area experts, give flesh and bones to the theoretical perspective on 'limited access orders' developed in Violence and Social Orders. The studies show how the World Bank's attempts to transform countries into 'open access orders' typically yield more violence than development. The well-acclaimed editors offer an alternative approach to development policy - working within 'limited access orders' in order to improve people's livelihoods.' David D. Laitin, Stanford University
'Through the insightful, well-documented case studies in this volume, we discover that control of violence is central to the experiences of the least and most successful developing countries of the last 50 years. The lesson from their experiences is as compelling as it is unpalatable: success - peace - may depend on allowing elites to retain large rents and supporting organizations that make it easier for elites to collude. This book is necessary reading for development professionals and political economy scholars alike.' Philip Keefer, The World Bank
'North, Wallis, and Weingast come down to earth to apply their ideas to the details of poor countries' problems and institutions. Finally we are headed in the right direction. I hope Jim Kim buys everyone at the World Bank a copy; it won't leave my desk for years.' James Robinson, Harvard University

About the Book
In this timely work—part memoir, part investigative analysis—a prize-winning writer explores the explosive and confusing intersection of faith, politics, and sexuality in Christian America.
When Jeff Chu came out to his parents as a gay man, his devout Christian mother cried. And cried. Every time she looked at him. For months. As a journalist and a believer, Chu knew that he had to get to the heart of a question that had been haunting him for years: Does Jesus really love me?
The quest to find an answer propels Chu on a remarkable cross-country journey to discover the God "forbidden to him" because of his sexuality. Surveying the breadth of the political and theological spectrum, from the most conservative viewpoints to the most liberal, he tries to distill what the diverse followers of Christ believe about homosexuality and to understand how these people who purportedly follow the same God and the same Scriptures have come to hold such a wide range of opinions. Why does Pastor A believe that God hates me, especially because of my gayness? Why does Person B believe that God loves me, gayness and all?
From Brooklyn to Nashville to California, from Westboro Baptist Church and their god hates fags protest signs to the pioneering Episcopal bishop Mary Glasspool, who proclaims a message of liberation and divine love, Chu captures spiritual snapshots of Christian America at a remarkable moment, when tensions between both sides in the culture wars have rarely been higher. Both funny and heartbreaking, perplexing and wise, Does Jesus Really Love Me? is an intellectual, emotional, and spiritual pilgrimage that reveals a portrait of a faith and a nation at odds.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Chu has written a fascinating, thoughtful, and important book. He captures the fractures and conflict at a moment when the issue of what to do with L.G.B.T. people is tearing Christian denominations apart. Does Jesus Really Love Me? deserves to be widely read." —
"Jeff's own story makes me hopeful. It's one of grace." —
"An essential survey description of homosexuality in U.S. churches today that should be read by church members and leaders, and people who care about how U.S. Christians engage with sexual minorities and related issues." —
"Poignant, at times painful, and spiced with wry humor, this is a must-read for LGBT people on their own spiritual journeys or anyone interested in reconciling religion with sexuality." —
"The stories [Chu] relates are intriguing. . . . Revealing." —
"Outstandingly personable and appealing." —
"Compassionate, engaging. . . . Resisting easy answers, Chu deftly portrays the lived experiences of Christians-mostly gay, though not all. . . . Overall, the book brings complexity and humanity to a discourse often lacking in both." —
"In telling these stories--chief among them his own--Jeff has done an extraordinary thing, showing us all to the God who is big enough and loving enough and true enough to meet all of us exactly where we're at. This book is moving, inspiring, and much needed." —
"Finally an examination of Christianity and homosexuality that refuses to demonize either side. A smart and deeply personal exploration of one of the great public questions of our time." —
"Jeff Chu has written a masterpiece about sexuality and spirituality in America. In this unforgettable blend of reportage and memoir, he doesn't demonize, ridicule, or pander to an ideology. Instead, he exploresand inspires. This is the smartest, and most humane, book about Christianity and homosexuality that I've ever read." —
"People struggling to reconcile homosexuality and Christianity will find much that validates their experiences in Chu's thoughtful book. Those confused why anyone would attempt to reconcile conservative Christian and gay identities will better understand the dilemmas gay Christians face after reading Does Jesus Really Love Me. —
"A beautiful, courageous, heartbreaking exploration. . . . Does Jesus Really Love Me? is both a moving personal memoir and a pivotal piece of reporting on what the deadlocked Christian fight over homosexuality is costing human beings, the churches, and our culture." —
"This is a book for anyone who believes the church is unbroken, who feels they have no place in a world that disdains them, or who is looking for fellowship amongst courageous travelers striking their own path." —
"Jeff Chu is a smart and experienced guide through evangelical battles over homosexuality. . . . [He] leads us beyond the battlefields to unexpected scenes of hope. This is a sobering book, but above all a book of compassionate consolation." —
"Jeff Chu's pilgrimage across America to discover his own place as a gay man in the Christian church as well as attitudes about being gay and Christian across denominations is at once timely, smart, poignant, disturbing, inspiring, and maddening. . . . Essential reading for everybody." —
"A comprehensive, important, illuminating book for anyone exploring these issues." —

Kenya central banker weathers parliament, Twitter storm
NAIROBI, March 20 (Reuters) – Kenya's central bank chief
marched out of a hotel last month, barely pausing for questions
as the markets buzzed with rumours a parliamentary committee was
set to call for his removal over a year's-worth of market chaos.
Sure enough, that day the committee investigating how the
local currency lurched from one record low to another, sending
inflation through the roof, recommended Njuguna Ndung'u step
aside pending an investigation.
Kenya's NBK pays first dividend in over a decade
NAIROBI, March 19 (Reuters) – National Bank of Kenya
is planning to pay its first dividend in more than a
decade, as the government attempts to sell a controlling stake
to investors.
In previous years, NBK had to use profits to pay off old
debts dating back to when the bank was plundered by the
political elite who took on loans and failed to repay. Now the
debt has been paid off, the bank is able to make payouts to

of Kenya reversed loss-making positions in its trading
book during the second-half of last year to secure a 7 percent
increase in pretax profit to 8.3 billion shillings ($100.67
million), it said on Tuesday.
The bank, controlled by Standard Chartered Plc, had
reported a fall in profit for the first half of the year after
yields on government securities shot upwards, leading to
unrealised losses in the trading book.
IMF sees Kenya economy growing 5 pct, inflation falling in 2012
NAIROBI, March 12 (Reuters) – Kenya's economy is
likely to grow 5 percent in 2012 while its monetary policy will
help cut inflation to below 10 percent and eventually pave the
way for interest rate cuts, the International Monetary Fund said
on Monday.
East Africa's biggest economy has forecast growth of 5
percent or more this year as long as rains vital to the key
farming sector do not fail. Kenya estimates its economy expanded
4.5 percent last year.
Kenya's Equity Bank says may raise new funds in 2013
NAIROBI, March 8 (Reuters) – Kenyan lender Equity Bank
may raise more capital next year to support its
fast-growing business, its chief executive said on Thursday
after unveiling a 42 percent rise in pretax profits last year.
With operations in five east African countries and a knack
for rolling out innovative banking services, mainly targeted at
the lower end of the market, Equity has become one of the most
traded firms on the Nairobi stock exchange since listing in
Pan Africa Insurance pretax profit falls 17 pct
NAIROBI, Feb 21 (Reuters) – Kenya's Pan Africa
Insurance Holdings posted a 17 percent decline in
pretax profit for 2011 to 552 million shillings ($6.6 million,
hit by lower valuations of its bonds and equities portfolios, it
said on Tuesday.
Controlled by South African insurer Sanlam, Pan
Africa commands around 23 percent of the life cover business in
the east African nation of 40 million people.
Barclays Kenya sees credit squeeze if rates capped
NAIROBI, Feb 16 (Reuters) – Kenya could suffer a
credit squeeze if a move by parliament to control banks' lending
rates were to succeed, the managing director of Barclays Bank of
Kenya said.
Aggressive monetary tightening to curb inflation and prop up
the east African country's currency has seen commercial banks
raise lending rates to about 25 percent from 15 percent since
October, and lawmakers are pushing a new law to cap the rates.
Kenya finmin says inflation easing, urges banks to cut rates
NAIROBI, Feb 14 (Reuters) – Kenya's acting finance
minister said on Tuesday that inflation in east Africa's biggest
economy should continue to fall and urged banks to cut lending
rates to help the middle class.
Aggressive monetary tightening since October and slight
declines in prices of food and fuel saw the inflation rate fall
in January for a second consecutive month, to 18.3 percent after
it hit a peak of 19.7 percent in November, fanning widespread
Insight: As Africa's consumers rise, so does inequality
NAIROBI (Reuters) – In a cafe on the terrace of a Nairobi mall, well-heeled Kenyans sip coffee as shoppers in the car park navigate between BMW X5s, Toyota Land Cruisers and Mercedes. A nearby cinema last month advertised an array of Hollywood fare including Brad Pitt's "Moneyball."
Sales at this Java House outlet along the Ngong Road were up last year, says Kevin Ashley, a Californian who co-founded the chain of 14 coffee houses 13 years ago. Kenya's rich and new middle classes have a growing taste for lattes and ice cream.

Food for Life Volunteers from Lugansk, Ukraine opened a social dining room to provide hot meals to 155 people. Their tasty lunch consisted of pea soup, bread and semolina pudding.
"The electricity went off before we could complete cooking the porridge and so our cooks thought not to serve it out, but the people demanded it, so we happily obliged," explained one of the volunteers.
Many people have expressed admiration for FFL's soup. Many of them had no idea that vegetarian soup can be so delicious.

This week's podcast is the first one Tom and I have recorded in almost a month. So after a bit of catching up, we talked about David Bellos's new translation of Simenon's Pietr the Latvian, the difficulties of translating "I love you" and all the swears into Japanese, and this list of "The 20 Best Books in Translation You've Never Read." As necessary, we also talked about the baseball playoffs and this cute flowchart.
Since Tom can't post here, I just want to have the final word on our discussion of the list of translations that Stephen Sparks and I put together. First off, we didn't give it this bombastic of a title, but whatever. We did put some time into coming up with twenty books that we love and that readers of international literature may not have heard of. As readers of heaploads of translated books, we had hundreds of titles to choose from. Every list is incomplete and flawed, but Tom's accusation that this is "intentionally esoteric" is totally off-point. It is a symptom of today's culture though, where if someone knows more about some topic that someone else, they are dismissed. Not to get all J-Franz about the kids these days and their Twitterversing, but there's a reason why stupid websites like Flavorwire are popular—they replace genuine knowledge with listicles that make the common reader feel good about themselves. "Hey, I've read 20 of the 25 lists on the "Greatest List of Lists Created by Flavorwire" list! I'm gonna tweet this." Sorry, Tom and whomever, for trying to share a bit of the lifelong research I've done on international literature. Next time someone wants to know about translated books, I'll just search the "translationsIreadinHighSchool" hashtag and call it a day.
This week's music is Rolling Waves by The Naked and Famous.

Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how. . .
There are plenty of reasons you can fail to find the rhythm of a book. Sometimes it's a matter of discarding initial assumptions or impressions, sometimes of resetting oneself. Zigmunds Skujiņš's Flesh-Coloured Dominoes was a defining experience in the necessity. . .
In a culture that privileges prose, reviewing poetry is fairly pointless. And I've long since stopped caring about what the world reads and dropped the crusade to get Americans to read more poems. Part of the fault, as I've suggested. . .
I would like to pose the argument that it is rare for one to ever come across a truly passive protagonist in a novel. The protagonist (perhaps) of Three Light-Years, Claudio Viberti, is just that—a shy internist who lives in. . .
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .
At 30, the Mexican writer Valeria Luiselli is already gathering her rosebuds. Faces in the Crowd, her poised debut novel, was published by Coffee House Press, along with her Brodsky-infused essay collection, Sidewalks. The essays stand as a theoretical map. . .
Fantomas Versus the Multinational Vampires: An Attainable Utopia (narrated by Julio Cortázar) is, not disappointingly, as wild a book as its title suggests. It is a half-novella half-graphic novel story about . . . what, exactly? A European tribunal, Latin. . .
Marie NDiaye has created a tiny, psychological masterpiece with her Self-Portrait in Green. In it she explores how our private fears and insecurities can distort what we believe to be real and can cause us to sabotage our intimate relationships.. . .

Seiko developed the most accurate timing system to date with its quartz-timing technology.

A safety extension cord for use with power garden equipment to prevent accidental cutting of the cord. The safety extension cord has an adjustable enlarged diameter section adjacent one end and a retaining clip to secure the cord to the power garden equipment for preventing accidental disconnection.
1. An improvement to a power extension cord for use with portable power equipment, said cord comprises at least a pair of conductive wires, a non-conductive outer body, a male plug end, and a female plug end interconnected to said conductive wires, said improvement comprising a protection sheath assembly of a diameter greater than that of said power extension cord, said sheath assembly comprising an elongated synthetic body member freely rotatable on said power extension cord and means for adjustably securing said elongated synthetic body member on said power extension cord, and means for retaining said female plug end to said power equipment.
2. The improvement to a power extension cord of claim 1 wherein said means for adjustably securing said elongated synthetic body member comprises sheath blocks including tapered-ended, apertured, cylindrical members with a plurality of internal ribs transversely positioned within said tapered-ended, apertured, cylindrical members.
3. The improvement to a power extension cord of claim 1 wherein said means for retaining said female plug end to said power equipment comprises a retention clip having interconnected outwardly extending, oppositely disposed arms.
1. Technical Field
This invention relates to an electrical power cord used with garden tools, such as hedge trimmers and the like which require a long cord to connect the tool to an electrical outlet. The long power cord is often exposed to accidental cutting during the use of the tools during operation.
2. Description of Prior Art
Prior Art devices of this type have all relied on heavy insulated covered cord bodies with modular plug and socket ends. Such cords are usually of similar or same dimension over their entire length between the ends. Other examples of protective covers can be seen in U.S. Pat. No. 3,249,679 and U.S. Pat. No. 2,275,019.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,249,679 a protective covering is shown having a spiral configuration that can be wrapped around guy wires used to support telephone poles.
In U.S. Pat. No. 2,275,019 a cable reinforcement device is disclosed which is split and positioned over a cable for the reduction of stress to the main cable.
A safety extension cord to be used with hand-held electrical power garden tools that provides a positive attachment of the cord to the tool and an area of increased cord diameter adjustably positioned on the cord adjacent the tool end. The cord is adjustable and can be positioned anywhere along the length of the cord and locked in that position by independently adjustable end retaining devices.
FIG. 1 is a cross section side plan view of the safety cord;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged plan view of a tool engagement fitting on one end of the safety cord;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view on lines 3--3 of FIG. 2 of the drawings;
FIG. 4 is a side plan view on lines 4--4 of FIG. 2 of the drawings;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the safety cord and;
FIG. 6 is an enlarged representation of a portion of a hedge trimming blade and a sectional view of the enlarged section of the safety cord.
A safety extension cord for use with electrical powered hand tools used in the home environment, such as hedge trimmers, comprises a main electrical power cord having typically two conductive shielded wires W and a ground wire G within an elongated molded plastic body 10 of a given outside diameter.
The cord has the usual male plug end 11, and a female socket end 12 for use in a normal home grounded electrical outlet (not shown). Referring now to FIGS. 1∝5 of the drawings, an adjustable cord protection sheath assembly 13 can be seen positioned on a portion of the molded plastic body 10. The protection sheath assembly 13 comprises an enlarged elongated hollow synthetic body member 14. The inner diameter of the synthetic body member 14 is greater than the outside diameter of said molded plastic body 10, allowing the synthetic body member 14 to slide freely thereover.
A pair of oppositely disposed sheath blocks 16 are positioned on the molded plastic body 10 at either end of said synthetic body member 14 and are of a tapered ended cylindrical configuration having a central opening at 17. A plurality of internal ribs 18 extend transversely within the opening at 17 each of which ribs are of a diameter slightly less than that of said molded plastic body 10 given outside diameter and accordingly will hold firmly thereon once positioned by the user.
Referring now to FIGS. 2, 3, and 4 of the drawings, a restraint clip 19 can be seen positioned on the female socket end 12 of the molded plastic body 10. The restraint clip 19 has a generally u-shaped configuration with oppositely disposed outwardly extending arms 20 and 21. Each arm has an offset portion 22 with a recessed area 23 inwardly from its free end. A tab 24 is positioned on each arm opposite said recessed area 23 and defines in combination with the offset portion 22 an interlocking combination compatible with the power plug and case on a variety of common commercially available hedge trimmers. An integral arm interconnection member 25, best seen in FIGS. 3 and 4 of the drawings, has a semicircular notch 26 within one area of increased transverse dimension at 27 midway between the arms 20 and 21.
In operation the molded plastic body 10 adjacent the female plug end 12 is frictionally engaged within the notch 26 with the arms 20 and 21 of the retaining clip 19 and interconnection member 25 extending around the female end plug 12.
Referring to FIG. 5 of the drawings, the safety extension cord of the invention can be seen as having a protection sheath 13 positioned on the molded plastic body 10 adjacent to and extending from the restraint clip 19 between the sheath blocks 16. The synthetic body member 14 is rotatable around the longitudinal axis of the cord and effectively increases the overall outer diameter of the molded plastic body 10.
If will be evident from the above description that the increased cord size is advantageous in protecting the molded plastic cord body 10 from accidental cuts and severs when the same is accidentally engaged in the hedge trimmers, as best seen in FIG. 6 of the drawings. A portion of a multiple cutting bar assembly 28 is shown in relation to the effective increase of the outer diameter of the molded plastic body 10 by the inclusion of the synthetic body member 14, thus preventing accidental cutting of the safety cord.
The retainer clip 19 prevents accidental disconnection of the safety cord from the hedge trimmers, which is relatively common when using outdoor power tools with long cords.
Thus, it will be seen that a new and useful safety extension cord has been illustrated and described and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention.

|Ravens OT McKinnie returns to field for practice
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 26 July 2013 10:40
McKinnie was held out of Thursday's session by coach John Harbaugh, who said the left tackle was ``in good shape'' but too heavy to practice.
The Ravens didn't say how much weight the 6-foot-8, 360-pounder had dropped before the team took the field Friday.
McKinnie was a key figure in Baltimore's run to the Super Bowl last season. He started all four playoff games and helped protect quarterback Joe Flacco, who was not intercepted during the postseason.
The Ravens did not immediately give him an offer as a free agent and after visiting other teams, McKinnie agreed to a two-year, $7 million contract in May.

Kells A score 'golden point' to beat Great Clifton in play-off
Last updated at 11:54, Monday, 12 November 2012
For the second time this season, an Iggesund Cumberland ARL play-off game went to extra time.
Two weeks ago Aspatria ran away from Ellenborough in the extra time period to win their Division Two play-off clash.
This time, however, Great Clifton and Kells A could not be separated after extra-time and it needed a golden point to decide the contest. Dan Joyce scored a try for Kells AS to give them a 14-10 victory.
Clifton were winning 6-0 at half time with a try by Mark Fox, converted by Mike Hill and although Paul Dobinson crossed in the second half Kells had levelled by the end.
Joyce and Nathan Mann scored tries for Kells A, one of which was converted by Ben Milburn.
Extra time failed to produce a winning score and it was sudden death when Joyce went in again for the golden points.
In the Division One play-off game Distington, beaten by Kells, won at the second attempt. They beat Glasson Rangers 22-6 after leading 10-6 at half-time.
A touchdown from Gary Tierney, converted by Greg Rowley, was all Glasson could manage in the first-half and they were unable to add to that after the change-round.
Distington scored four tries from Stephen Newall, Aiden Worthington, Gavin Martin and Grant Dryden. Scott George kicked three goals.

Find Oakdale industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & Oakdale shops. Locate a Oakdale warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
Negotiating a Oakdale commercial lease can be a complicated procedure and its best to retain an experienced broker to work with early in the process. The brokers fee is typically paid for by the owner and you probably would not be able to negotiate a better position than the broker would be able to. There should be no reason why a broker should not be used to secure the transaction whilst there are numerous reasons as to why a broker should be used.
