Automatic optometer operates with infrared test pattern

Refractive strength of human eye is monitored by optometer that automatically and continuously images infrared test pattern onto the retina. Condition of focus of the eye at any instant is determined from optometer settings needed to maintain focus of the pattern on the retina

Visual focus stimulator aids in study of the eye's focusing action

Optical apparatus varies apparent distance of a target image from the eye by means of reflectors that are moved orthogonally to the optical axis between fixed lenses. Apparatus can be pointed at any object, test pattern, or other visual display

Miracles of the Virgin

The collection of Miracles of the Virgin here edited for the first i time is contained in a manuscript (MSS. B. 14) belonging to the President White Library of Cornell University. Yhe volume is a small quarto (size of leaf cm. 10.2 X 13.7; of text cm. 13.2 X 10) of 184 folios, vellum, written in two columns (except f. 96, written in one), and contains works in various hands and of different dates, from the late thirteenth and the fourteenth centuries. Our collection, of the late thirteenth century, written in two columns of twenty-five lines, occupies fols. 104-110. The contents of the whole manuscript is as follows: (l) Meditationes piissimae beati Bernardi de cognitione humanae conditionis, incomplete, lacking chaps. XIV-XV, cf. Mabillon's ed. of St. Bernarrd's Opera, Paris, 1690, Vol. II, coll. 319-335, f. 1; (2) A mystical treatise, the beginning of which is missing, a leaf of the quire being lost, f. 16; (3) Vitas Patrum, f. 33vo; (4) The present article, f. 104; (5) Sermons, f. i2ovo; (6) Moral reflections, f. I40vo; (7) Two chapters of Gregory's Dialogues, Bk. IV, 37, 38, f. i4ivo; Treatise on canonical law, f. 143; (9) Theological treatise, f. 168; (10) Letter of Presbyter John to the Emperor Manuel, fols. 17IVO - 172VO. Articles (1)-(5) appear to be in the same hand and of the thirteenth century. The remaining articles are in different hands of the fourteenth century. I have written out the abbreviations, punctuated, and corrected a few evident slips of the scribe's pen. I have left the text as it is in the manuscript, with the usual mediaeval orthography (e for ae, etc), and I have not attempted to correct the scribe's construction

Did the Court Kill the Treason Charge?: Reassessing Cramer v. United States and Its Significance

This Article has two main objectives. First, I will analyze the Court\u27s decision in Cramer v. United States. Based on internal court documents, such as draft opinions and private memoranda, it is clear that the Justices had more on their minds than the specific legal question at hand. Second, I will reassess the relationship between Cramer and the lack of treason charges after 1954 and offer an explanation for the disappearance of treason prosecutions until the indictment of Gadahn in 2006. Specifically, I will highlight the significance of a traditionally underappreciated portion of the Cramer decision: the Court\u27s statement that Congress enjoys great latitude in proscribing treasonous conduct under different headings. These passages not only help explain the lack of treason prosecutions after 1954, but they also shed light on an issue that has resurfaced from time to time without much fanfare. By examining the link between Cramer and the lack of treason prosecutions after 1954, one can better understand the state of treason as it exists today

Incorporating Collateral Consequences into Criminal Procedure

A curious relationship currently exists between collateral consequences and criminal procedures. It is now widely accepted that collateral consequences are an integral component of the American criminal justice system. Such consequences shape the contours of many criminal cases, influencing what charges are brought by the government, the content of plea negotiations, the sentences imposed by trial judges, and the impact of criminal convictions on defendants. Yet, when it comes to the allocation of criminal procedures, collateral consequences continue to be treated as if they are external to the criminal justice process. Specifically, a conviction’s collateral consequences, no matter how severe, are typically treated as irrelevant when determining whether a defendant is entitled to a particular procedural protection. This Article examines that paradoxical relationship and, after identifying a previously overlooked reason for its existence, provides a framework for incorporating collateral consequences into criminal procedure. Heavily influenced by concerns of practicality and feasibility, the proposed methodology establishes a theoretically coherent path forward that requires only modest adjustments to existing doctrines. After setting forth the three-step framework, the Article applies its insights to the two most hallowed rights in our criminal justice system: the constitutional right to counsel and the constitutional right to a jury trial
