Abstract:
A connector (20) for joining a timber member (10) to a second component has an end plate (21) for overlying an end face of the timber member (10), the end plate (21) having projecting prongs (27) for penetrating the end face of that member. The connector (20) has a first side tab (22) adjoining the end plate (21) along a first common edge whereby the first side tab (22) may be bent round (5) about that common edge to engage a first side face (11) of the timber member following engagement of the end plate with the timber member end face. The first side tab (22) has projecting teeth (30) for penetrating the first side face (11), the teeth (30) being curved along their length towards the end plate (21) of the connector (20). A second side tab (23) is similarly formed to the first side tab (22, 10) and adjoins the end plate (21) along a second common edge opposed to the first common edge, for bending round to engage a second side face (12) of the timber member.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to pulsed polarimeters for conducting remote, non-perturbative diagnostic measurements of inducing fields of a medium demonstrating induced optical activity. In one aspect, a pulse polarimeter includes a light source emitting a polarized light pulse having sufficiently narrow spatial extent at a prescribed wavelength and a light gathering optical system including a light gathering optic having an optic axis directed toward the medium and positioned to collect and collimate a predetermined solid angle of an emission from the medium into a collimated emission beam, while preserving the polarization state of the emission. The pulse polarimeter includes a directional coupler that makes coincident the propagation direction of the polarized light pulse with the optic axis and a polarization detection system for measuring the intensity and determining the polarization state of the collimated emission beam continuously in time as the polarized light pulse transits the medium.

Abstract:
A contact lens package includes a first housing member and a second housing member pivotably connected to each other. The package also includes a holding mechanism for holding a contact lens and a receiving mechanism for receiving contact lens solution. When the housing members are in a substantially co-planar orientation, the holding mechanism is positioned within the receiving mechanism. When the housing members are in a non-planar orientation, the holding mechanism is removed from the receiving mechanism such that the holding mechanism is pivotable from a closed position, in which the contact lens held in the holding mechanism is inaccessible to a user, toward an open position, in which the contact lens held in the holding mechanism is accessible to the user.
