Abstract:
A two-optic accommodative lens system. The first lens has a negative power and is located posteriorly within the capsular bag and laying against the posterior capsule. The periphery of the first lens contains a pair of generally T-shaped haptics oriented along a vertical meridian of the capsular bag and having a generally rectangular slot within the top portion of the “T”. The first lens further having a plurality of elongated haptics oriented along a horizontal meridian of the capsular bag. The second lens is located anteriorly to the first lens outside of the capsular bag and is of a positive power. The peripheral edge of the second lens contains a pair of encircling haptics having a notched tab sized and shape to fit within the slots in the haptics on the first lens to lock the second lens onto the first lens. Hinge structures on the encircling haptics allow the second lens to move relative to the first lens along the optical axis of the lens system in reaction to movement of the ciliary muscle.
Abstract:
A two-optic accommodative lens system. The first lens has a negative power and is located posteriorly against the posterior capsule. The periphery of the first optic contains a pair of clasps. The second optic is located anteriorly to the first optic and is of a positive power. The peripheral edge of the second optic contains a pair of locking arms that fit into the clasps contained on the periphery of the first optic to lock the second optic onto the first optic, but allow for rotation of the arms within the clasps. Hinge structures on the locking arms allow the second optic to move relative to the first optic along the optical axis of the lens system in reaction to movement of the ciliary muscle.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for detecting differences between an image update rate and a display update rate and to provide a viable solution that produces minimal adverse visual effects is achieved by first detecting an image delineation from a stream of images. The image delineation is then used to determine the image update rate which is compared to the display update rate to produce a relationship between the two update rates. The relationship is then compared to a plurality of desired relationships to determine if it is sufficiently similar to one or more of the desired relationships. If it is, an image display pattern associated with the desired relationship is used. For example, if the relationship is sufficiently similar to the desired relationship of 1:1, then the image display pattern will be 1111 . . . In other words, the image display pattern would display each received image once. But, even though the relationship is sufficiently similar, the display update is adjusted, such that, over time, the relationship matches the desired relationship.
Abstract:
Technologies are disclosed for precomputation of reduced deformable models. In such precomputation, a Krylov subspace iteration may be used to construct a series of inertia modes for an input mesh. The inertia modes may be condensed into a mode matrix. A set of cubature points may be sampled from the input mesh, and cubature weights of the set of cubature points may be calculated for each of the inertia modes in the mode matrix. A training dataset may be generated by iteratively adding training samples to the training dataset until a training error metric converges, wherein each training sample is generated from an inertia mode in the mode matrix and corresponding cubature weights. The reduced deformable model may be generated, including inertia modes in the training dataset and corresponding cubature weights.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to a straw biolubricant, comprising 70-80% mineral oil, 6-11% straw biomass oil, and 15-20% active agent, wherein the active agent is sorbitol oleate. The straw biolubricant of the present invention comprises higher contact resistance and lower coefficient of friction in comparison with a conventional lubricant, and therefore to reduce the temperature of operating machine parts.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for controlling a plurality of displays to present an image split across the displays. For example, a host controller is described herein. The host controller receives, from a first display, a first display status that indicates a status of presentation of a first portion of an image by the first display and, from a second display a second display status that indicates a status of presentation of a second portion of the image by the second display. The host controller may compare the first and second display status and, in response to the comparison, communicate to at least one of the first and second displays a display adjustment configured to cause the respective display to adjust presentation of at least one of the first or second portion of the image.
Abstract:
A posterior chamber phakic lens made from an elastomeric, foldable, highly biocompatible and permeable material. The lens has a generally circular optic and a plurality of integrally formed, filament-like haptics. The haptics project posteriorly from the optic and contain a raised feature or ridge that is sandwiched between the posterior iris and the zonules when implanted in an eye. Such a construction has a low vaulting force under compression, is size insensitive, provides for a stable lens once implanted in the eye, helps to avoid pupillary blockage and allows for improved aqueous flow around the natural lens.
