Patent number: 11793403Abstract: Methods and systems for assessing and/or treating visual disorders, such as discorder in accommodative ability and/or vergence ability, of a person are provided. Assessment and training exercises can be performed utilizing a computerized system in communication with a head-mountable display (HMD), such as a virtual or augmented reality display, which can display visual targets at various vergence and accommodative demands. Lenses, such as inverted bifocal lenses, may be used in combination with the HMD to mimic natural accommodative demand during viewing or to enable assessment and treatment of accommodation disorders. Corrective factors can be calculated and utilized for generation of visual targets to account for lens characteristics and/or interpupillary distance mismatch.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Vivid Vision, Inc.Inventors: Tuan Tran, Brian Dornbos, Benjamin Backus, James J.

Patent number: 11478141Abstract: Methods and systems for assessing a visual field of a person are provided. Information can be presented to a person undergoing a visual field testing in a manner that utilizes the person's natural tendency to look at an object that is displayed so that it attracts the person's attention. A fixation target can be displayed on a display viewed by a user. Once it is determined that the user has viewed the fixation target and the person's eye(s) location is determined, a test target is displayed on the display in a location corresponding to a location on the user's visual field. The test target is determined to be either detected or missed based on user input acquired as the user is viewing the display.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2018Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: Vivid Vision, Inc.Inventors: James J.

Patent number: 9557757Abstract: Technologies are generally described for scaling a voltage regulator implemented as an integrated circuit (IC) that includes a power transistor configured to convert an input voltage to an output voltage, and a feedback loop configured to regulate the output voltage in response to a voltage change. At least one component of the voltage regulator may be selected for scaling, and a range of scaling factors may be identified for the component. An optimal coefficient may be determined for the scaling factors within the identified range through an empirical formulation and/or by running a circuit simulation based on parameters associated with voltage, load current, and load capacitance, for example. The optimal coefficient may be a coefficient that when applied to the component optimizes the performance of the IC and thus, the component may be scaled based on the optimal coefficient to achieve an optimized performance of the IC.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2015Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: Vivid Engineering, Inc.Inventors: Vladislav Potanin, Elena Potanina, George McLean, Pavel Biryulin

Patent number: 9454167Abstract: Technologies are generally described for a voltage regulator implemented as an integrated circuit (IC). The voltage regulator may include a power transistor configured to receive and convert an input voltage from a voltage source to an output voltage, and a feedback loop configured to regulate the output voltage in response to a change from a desired level. The feedback loop may include an error amplifier configured to determine and amplify a value difference between the output voltage and a reference output voltage, a voltage divider configured to generate voltage proportional to the output voltage such that a ratio is the value difference, and a first unity gain buffer configured to increase stability of the IC. In some examples, the feedback loop may include a second unity gain buffer and/or an overshoot suppressor circuit configured to reduce an output voltage fluctuation when a current consumed by the load is changed suddenly.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2014Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: VIVID ENGINEERING, INC.Inventors: Vladislav Potanin, Elena Potanina
