The manifest (dry) refractions of 165 eyes of 86 patients, aged 6 to 75 years, were studied on the Nikon Auto Refractometer NR-1000F. The results obtained were compared with the clinical refractive data, and they were analysed for degree of agreement of various refractive components in different types and grades of refractive errors in the separate age groups. On the NR-1000F the spherical and ...

A 21-year-old man presented after being struck by a car and underwent a computed tomography scan of the chest and spine. Three hours later, his clear yellow urine sample was sent to the laboratory. A routine urinalysis with the Roche Urisys® 2400 indicated the specific gravity (SG) as a flag, i.e., an error for SG. A manual repeat of the SG measurement was also not readable by refractometer (no...

This paper proposes and describes a design of an integrated refractive index sensor for (bio-) chemical sensing applications based on a U-shape bend waveguide structure. The proposed structure is formed by connecting four-bend waveguides and optimized using beam propagation method so that the output power has a function of refractive index of measurand liquid. The results show that the designed...
