Abstract:
Accommodating intraocular lenses and methods of use. The accommodating intraocular lenses include peripheral regions that are adapted to be more sensitive to certain types of forces than to other types of forces.
Abstract:
A method of providing phototherapy to a patient. In some embodiments, the method includes the steps of placing a patient on a rigid support surface of a phototherapy device, the support surface being adapted to support the patient without substantial deformation; transmitting light from a light source through a first portion of the support surface to the patient; and limiting light transmission from the light source through a second portion of the support surface.
Abstract:
A machine (100) for slitting a metal sheet has a number of knife assemblies (112) each containing a rotary knife (110). The knife assemblies (112) are mounted for movement along upper and lower arbors (104, 106) which rotate the knives (110) during a slitting operation. Upper and lower knife assembly positioning devices (114) are operable to releasably grasp the knife assemblies (112) for movement of the knife assemblies (112) to predetermined positions along the upper and lower arbors (104, 106).
Abstract:
Accommodating intraocular lenses and methods of use. The accommodating intraocular lenses include peripheral regions that are adapted to be more responsive to certain types of forces than to other types of forces. For example, the accommodating intraocular lenses can include haptics that are stiffer in an anterior-to-posterior direction than in a radial direction.
Abstract:
A measurement device for generating an arterial volume-indicative signal includes an exciter and a detector. The exciter is adapted to receive an oscillating signal and generate a pressure wave based at least in part on the oscillating signal on the artery at a measurement site on a patient. The pressure wave includes a frequency. The detector is placed sufficiently near the measurement site to detect a volumetric signal indicative of arterial volume of the patient.
Abstract:
Accommodating intraocular lenses and methods of use which account for changes to a capsular bag post-implantation as well as a mismatch is size between the accommodating intraocular lens and capsule.
Abstract:
A graphical user interface includes a main screen adapted to display a graphical output from a processor and data input fields adapted to receive data. The graphical user interface also includes at least one expandable tile, the expandable tile having a closed state and an open state. The expandable tile causes display data and data input fields obscured by the expandable tile in the closed state to be revealed to a user when the expandable tile is placed in its open state.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an aqueous coating composition comprising: (a) water, (b) a base medium, (c) a pyrithione salt, in an amount of from 0.01% to 2.0% based upon the weight of the composition, and (d) zinc oxide compound selected from the many grades suitable for paint manufacture at a concentration of from 0.001% to 10% based upon the weight of the coating composition. Also disclosed is an aqueous antimicrobial coating composition, characterized by antimildew efficacy and protected against discoloration attributable to the presence of pyrithione therein, said composition being selected from the group consisting of water-based paints, adhesives, caulks and sealants, and combinations thereof, said composition comprising water, a pyrithione salt or acid, an organic base medium and a zinc compound, said zinc ion being present in said composition in an amount of from 0.001% to 10% based upon the weight of the coating composition.
Abstract:
An exemplary sterilization system includes a self-propelled robotic mobile platform for locating and eradicating infectious bacterial and virus strains on floors (and objects thereon), walls, cabinets, angled structures, etc., using one or more ultraviolet light sources. A controller allows the system to adjust the quantity of ultraviolet light received by a surface by, for example, changing the intensity of energy input to a ultraviolet light source, changing a distance between a ultraviolet light source and a surface being irradiated, changing the speed/movement of the mobile platform to affect time of exposure, and/or by returning to contaminated areas for additional passes. The mobile platform may include a sensor capable of detecting fluorescence of biological contaminants irradiated with ultraviolet light to locate contaminated areas. The system is thus capable of “seek and destroy” functionality by navigating towards contaminated areas and irradiating those areas with ultraviolet light accordingly.
