There is disclosed herein a diffusing device for use with photographic darkroom color analyzers when no gray card appears in any of the frames on the strip of film which have the same lighting conditions as the frame to be analyzed. The diffuser is used for determining correct color balance of an area of film which is mottled, such as human skin, by eliminating moles, freckles, dark shadows etc. from the image being analyzed with light blockers. The diffuser is made of flat translucent material in a plurality of shapes. Supports hold it above the analyzer sensor. The invention includes a variety of light blockers of various shapes made of opaque material such as sheet metal, all light blockers having the same area. A diffuser of an appropriate shape is placed within the projected image to be analyzed and moved around until it is within an area of flesh selected to be analyzed. If there is a small area of the selected area that should not be included in the analysis, such as a mole, freckle or dark shawow, then one or more light blockers of appropriate shapes are selected to be placed on top of the diffuser to block the undesired small area of light from the analyzer sensor.

A typical Christmas tree stand has legs made of stamped metal with thumbscrews threaded through the stamped metal, which provides almost no resistance to lateral movement of the thumbscrews. The rotational action of tightening the thumbscrews actually causes the tree trunk to rotate about its axis thus twisting the thumbscrews laterally and loosening the contact of the thumbscrews with the tree trunk thus allowing the tree to lean or fall over.The present invention is a Christmas tree stand adapter ring, hereinafter referred to as adapter ring, having unthreaded screw holes arranged radially to coincide with thumbscrews in the legs and collar of a typical Christmas tree stand. The adapter ring is positioned inside the collar of the typical Christmas tree stand in an orientation that allows the thumbscrews of the Christmas tree stand to pass through the adapter ring and make contact with the Christmas tree trunk. The adapter ring holds the screws in alignment with the center of the tree trunk and prevents lateral movement of the screws, thus holding the tree firmly in a vertical position.

The object of the invention is to provide a slide calculator to make the determination of flash-to-subject working distances (WD) easy and accurate for amateur and professional photographers. Light sources other than flash can be used. The calculator uses known factors such as lens f-stop, film speed, light ratio, flash guide number (GN), flash power setting and filter exposure factors to determine working distances even when using multiple flashes simultaneously. The indicia on the slides and the indicia adjacent the appropriate windows on the panels are arranged in a predetermined manner and relationship to each other to permit the desired working distance to be determined accurately. Working distances for several flashes (each flash having a different purpose) can be determined and their affect on each other is compensated for in the calculations. Then the several flashes can be used in combination to achieve a desired lighting effect with correct exposure.

An apparatus is provided for finding and defining a prescription for prism glasses for Diplopic patients and AMD patients whose Macula and Fovea are damaged enough that the patients have double vision, but, still have relatively good acuity. The apparatus positions lenses in infinitely variable locations horizontally and vertically in front of the patient's eyes until the patient indicates that he/she sees the two images fuse. The H-V coordinates of the location of the Optic center of each lens axis in relation to the patient's visual axis are decentration dimensions indicated for each eye by the H and V dials on the apparatus and are thus the basis for an accurate prescription for prism lenses.

There is disclosed herein a slide calculator for determination of flash-to-background distance for studio photography when using color filters over the flash. By use of the calculator, known factors, such as lens f-stop, film speed, flash guide number (GN), background density (darkness), desired degree of color (including shades of gray and white) saturation of said background and filter exposure factors can be used to determine the working distance of a background-flash with a color filter over the flash. An electronic flash meter is not required. The calculator includes a front panel with a window-like aperture and a back panel. Two slide members are positioned and movable between the front and back panels. Indicia is provided on the front panel and is generally arranged adjacent the window like aperture. Indicia is also provided on the slide members and is arranged for exposure at the window.

An apparatus is provided for finding and defining a prescription for reading glasses for an AMD patient whose Macula and Fovea are damaged enough that the patient has double vision, i. e. the patient sees two images of every object within the field of view of the Macula and Fovea. The apparatus positions reading lenses in various locations in front of the patient's eyes until the patient indicates that he/she now sees one image for each object in the field of view of the Macula and Fovea. The X-Y coordinates of the location of each lens axis in relation to the patient's visual axis are offset dimensions indicated for each eye by the apparatus and is thus the prescription for reading lenses.

A standard 2-gang wallbox-mountable light switch assembly comprising two switches for controlling electrical power from two separate circuits, one normal and one emergency power, to two separate lighting loads is disclosed. The assembly comprises two toggle switches, a yoke common to both switches and an axle common to both toggle switches for operating in unison both toggle switches. A single handle is provided that is integral to the axle and extends through the yoke for manual grasping for switching on-off. A partition creates a barrier between the electrical components of the two toggle switches when mounted within a standard 2-gang wallbox. Separation of normal and emergency circuits is a requirement of the National Electric Code (NEC) 700. 9 (B).
