Abstract:

An ophthalmic lens disinfection apparatus, including a container and a mating cap, she apparatus having an improved seal and vent means for venting gas generated within the apparatus. The vent means is an integral part of the disinfection apparatus which allows venting of gas when internal pressure increases, while maintaining a seal which is substantially gas and liquid-impermeable at other times. The seal is defined by the interference mating of a flexible periphery on a container with a rigid mating rim on a cap. The apparatus is particularly useful in the disinfection of contact lenses with hydrogen peroxide in which the excess peroxide is decomposed into water and oxygen.

Abstract:

The user assistance drone device is an unmanned aerial vehicle used as a communication device. The user assistance drone device tracks the client while the user assistance drone device is in the air. The user assistance drone device follows the client and forms an audio communication link between the client and an appropriate authority. The audio communication link allows the client to speak with an appropriate authority. The user assistance drone device comprises the unmanned aerial vehicle and a master circuit. The unmanned aerial vehicle is a device capable of travel through the atmosphere. The master circuit: a) tracks the location and the movement of the client; b) transmits flight instructions to the unmanned aerial vehicle that allows the unmanned aerial vehicle to follow the client; and, c) establishes the audio communication link between the client and the appropriate authority.
