An apparatus and method for measuring wavefront aberrations. The apparatus comprises a reflecting device for reflecting selected portions of the wavefront, an imaging device for capturing information related to the selected portions, and a processor for calculating aberrations of the wavefront from the captured information. The method comprises reflecting selected portions of a wavefront onto the imaging device, capturing information related to the selected portions, and processing the captured information to derive the aberrations.

A method is provided which is used to design soft contact lens via corneal topographic analysis. The topography of the cornea is matched to a corresponding topography of a soft contact lens. A geometrical transformation which maps the corneal elevation onto the back surface of an unflexed soft contact lens is used to minimize errors induced by flexure of the lens. The mapping transformation takes into account the effects of flexure. As a result, the contact lens has a back surface with a curvature which matches the specific elevations of the cornea, while the front surface can be spherical or any desired symmetrical or asymmetrical shape.

A system and method is provided for integrating corneal topographic data and ocular wavefront data with primary ametropia measurements to create a soft contact lens design. Corneal topographic data is used to design a better fitting soft contact lens by achieving a contact lens back surface which is uniquely matched to a particular corneal topography, or which is an averaged shape based on the particular corneal topography. In the case of a uniquely matched contact lens back surface, the unique back surface design also corrects for the primary and higher order optical aberrations of the cornea. Additionally, ocular wavefront analysis is used to determine the total optical aberration present in the eye. The total optical aberration, less any corneal optical aberration corrected utilizing the contact lens back surface, is corrected via the contact lens front surface design. The contact lens front surface is further designed to take into account the conventional refractive prescription elements required for a particular eye. As a result, the lens produced exhibits an improved custom fit, optimal refractive error correction and vision.

A method for fitting and designing an ophthalmic lens for a presbyope that yields improved visual acuity in general, and takes into account individual fitting characteristics. More specifically, a method for fitting and designing a contact or intraocular lens which takes into account material properties of the lens by observing the “print through” associated with the lens as an indicator of the topography of the lens. The term “print through” is used to refer to any change in lens topography on the front surface of the lens as a result of changes in topography on the back surface of the lens. If a significant amount of “print through” is observed, this generally indicates that the multifocal function of the lens is properly being performed. In such a situation, the clinician can then adjust the add power to the desired level. If there is not a significant amount of “print through”, this generally indicates that the multifocal function of the lens is not properly being performed. In this latter situation, by observing the reduced “print through” associated with such a lens, the clinician can instead bias one lens of a lens pair for distance power and the other lens of a lens pair for near power. Alternatively, each lens of the lens pair can be biased for some combination of distance power and near power.

A way of using narrowband irradiation to de-ice or release ice from a surface is provided. The methodology can be applied to a range of different types of de-icing from windshield de-icing to aircraft wing de-icing to releasing ice from the ice tray of an ice making machine. While there are many different specific applications, the concept and methodologies taught remain similar across all of them.
摘要:
A method and/or system for forming a plastic bottle from a preform without the use of a mold or a complete mold are provided. The technique includes selectively injecting heat into the preform using narrowband irradiation devices emitting irradiation in a narrow wavelength band matching desired absorptive characteristics of selective portions of the preform according to a predetermined heat signature to achieve a three-dimensional heat profile in the preform. The heat profile corresponds to a desired shape of a finished bottle and facilitates self-limiting stretching of the selected portions of the preform to achieve the desired shape. Using the technique, air is selectively injected into the preform to form in free air the finished bottle having the desired shape.

A method and system are provided for digitally injecting heat into a wide range of products by way of incorporation of a special class of semi-conductor lasers, e.g. surface emitting devices. This technique relates to a more specific, economical, and advantageous way of practicing the art of directly injecting narrowband radiant energy that desirously matches the absorption specification of a particular material at a specified wavelength.
