International Classification:

A61F 2/16

US Classification:

623 617

Appl. No.:

12/260694

Inventors:

Mark A. Cox - Dallas TX, US
Douglas C. Williamson - Coppell TX, US
Gary A. Richardson - Rochester NY, US
Andrew J. Scherer - Trabuco Canyon CA, US
Timothy J. Payne - Santa Ana CA, US

Assignee:

Refocus Ocular, Inc. - Dallas TX

International Classification:

A61F 9/00

US Classification:

606166

Abstract:

A surgical tool includes a surgical blade configured to be moved to form an incision. The surgical tool also includes a wire configured to cause movement of the surgical blade. The surgical tool further includes an actuator configured to shorten a length of the wire to cause the movement of the surgical blade. The surgical tool could be configured to move the surgical blade in a first direction and then in a second direction in response to a single shortening of the wire. Also, the wire could represent a first wire, the surgical tool could include a second wire, and the surgical tool could be configured to move the surgical blade in a first direction in response to shortening the first wire and to move the surgical blade in a second direction in response to shortening the second wire.

International Classification:

A61B 3/00
A61M 35/00

US Classification:

351200, 351246, 604294

Abstract:

A method includes identifying an actual location of a ciliary body in a patient's eye. The method also includes identifying a position for a scleral prosthesis to be inserted into scleral tissue of the patient's eye based on the identified location of the ciliary body. The method could also include forming a scleral tunnel in the scleral tissue of the patient's eye based on the identified position and inserting the scleral prosthesis into the scleral tunnel. Identifying the actual location of the ciliary body could include illuminating a first portion of the patient's eye using illumination provided at a second portion of the patient's eye. The illumination provided at the second portion of the patient's eye may be provided through an eyelid of the patient and may travel under a cornea of the patient's eye to the first portion of the patient's eye.

Assignee:

Bausch-Lomb Incorporated - Rochester NY

International Classification:

A61F 2/16

US Classification:

623 634, 623 637, 623 643, 623 649

Abstract:

A multi-element accommodating intraocular lens (AIOL) having a first anterior translation member and a first posterior translation member coupled together to form a first bias element. The first posterior translation member has a greater resistance to bending than the first anterior translation member. The first posterior translation member has a greater thickness than the first anterior translation member.

Abstract:

Systems and methods the improve operation and security of large complex webs of 200,000 to 2,000,000 interconnected systems are provided. Systems and methods may dynamically schedule downtime for target systems within the complex. The schedule downtime may not impact operations stability of the complex web. Based on computational resource constraints, systems and methods may provide dynamic rescheduling of system downtime. Systems and methods may provide dynamic computational capacity management by adding capacity and/or reorganizing systems within the complex web.
