Abstract: Gonioscope devices are disclosed herein that are configured to enable a medical professional to view structure inside the eye that is ordinarily hidden from normal view. The gonioscope can be an integrally molded single piece that includes both a handle and a gonioscopic optical element. The proximal surface can have a viewing area and a light diffusing area. A recess can provide access to a wound site on the eye while the gonioscope is used for viewing. The handle can be configured to encourage proper alignment of the gonioscope with the eye. The gonioscope can provide an optical fixation point for the subject to focus on to facilitate proper alignment of the eye. The gonioscope can have one or more retention elements configured to engage the tissue of the eye around the contact surface to stabilize the gonioscope. The gonioscope can couple to a lid speculum.

Abstract: An elongated bag for use as a ready-to-use grow bag. The bag is manufactured as an elongated plastic body with a sealed bottom and a sealable top. The bag includes one or more gussets defined by folds in the bag and a score line for a tear strip in an area sufficiently below the top and above the fill material to allow the bag to lie flat for transportation and deploy into a cylinder for planting. The bag includes drain holes near the bottom of the bag and microperforations along the bag for respiration.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are drug delivery punctal implants and methods of using the implants for the treatment of ocular disorders requiring targeted and controlled administration of a drug to an interior portion of the eye for reduction or prevention of symptoms of the disorder. The physical arrangement of drugs within the punctal plugs disclosed herein results, in several embodiments, in advantageous controlled delivery of one or more drugs to the eye of a patient.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to medical devices and methods for reducing the intraocular pressure in an animal eye and, more particularly, to stent type devices for permitting aqueous outflow from the eye's anterior chamber and associated methods thereof for the treatment of glaucoma. Some aspects provide a self-trephining glaucoma stent and methods thereof which advantageously allow for a “one-step” procedure in which the incision and placement of the stent are accomplished by a single device and operation. This desirably allows for a faster, safer, and less expensive surgical procedure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering multiple ocular implants to reduce intraocular pressure are disclosed. The ocular implants can be implanted at multiple sites within a single human eye without requiring removal of the delivery apparatus from the eye. A system for delivering multiple ocular implants can include a plurality of implants, an external housing, and an introducer assembly. The external housing can provide access to an implant singulation actuator and an implant delivery actuator. The introducer assembly can comprise an auto-retracting introducer portion. The delivery apparatus can include an infinite activation mechanism/portion and/or a manual singulation mechanism/portion.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent article comprising a front waist region, a rear waist region, and a crotch region, wherein said absorbent article further comprises at least three discrete elements each comprising at least one visible surface; wherein at least three or more of the visible surfaces comprise an imparted color wherein said colors are color matched. Color matching exists when said colors are contained within a specified CIELab color space volume, have a specified hue difference, or total color difference.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for translation and validation of representations of data for use in retail transactions. The systems and methods may be implemented by a device including at least one circuit. In some implementations a device may comprise a scanning component and a display component. The scanning component may be operable to capture data corresponding to a first representation of the data. The screen may be operable to display a second representation of the data. The data may correspond to coupon data associated with the sale of a product.

Abstract: A method of performing remote subsea inspection includes processing mission data from a UUV at an offshore location to produce a low-resolution output and a high-resolution output, automatically and in real time. The high-resolution output is stored at the offshore location while the low-resolution output is transmitted wirelessly across a low-bandwidth communication also automatically and in real time, to be reviewed by subject-matter experts at one or more onshore or inshore locations. Selected portions of the high-resolution output can be transmitted across the communication link to the subject-matter experts on demand. Data outputs can be transmitted across the communication link at a resolution adjusted automatically in accordance with the bandwidth measured to be available on that link.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fishing reel locking system. In one embodiment, the reel locking system of the present invention comprises: a body made of one or more components; a locking mechanism that permits the user to manipulate the base in a manner that secures a fishing reel to a reel seat, fishing pole (referred to hereafter as rod), or any rod like object. In one embodiment, the reel locking system comprises a single base component, and a lock component that permits the user to lock the fishing reel to a rod or reel seat. In one embodiment the reel locking system comprises multiple base components and a lock component where all the components assemble and allows for the locking of the reel to the rod or reel seat.
