  • Patent number: 6449916
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a decorative window insert, and from the insert a decorative window, comprises the steps of producing a plurality of planar glass units each adapted by size and shape, for assembly together as a decorative insert master by assembling the planar glass units into a planar assembly wherein the planar glass units are joined by a came, producing a mold from the decorative insert master, the mold replicating the decorative insert master with a came mold portion and a planar glass units mold portion, filling the came mold portion of the mold with a dyed catalyzed resin and curing the resin as a simulated came portion of the insert, filling a planar glass units mold portion of the mold with a non-dyed catalyzed resin and curing it as a simulated glass portion of the insert followed by a post-curing of the simulated came portion and the simulated glass portion to produce the decorative window insert.

  • Patent number: 4922913
    Abstract: An intraocular pressure sensor utilizes a small sensitive piezo-resistance strain gauge cell mounted in a curved semi-rigid holder which serves to position the planar pressure sensitive surface of the strain gauge cell in contact with the eyeball surface. Deformation of the strain gauge cell due to contact with the eyeball produces an output signal corresponding to the intraocular pressure. The sensor is small and can be worn in the eye like a contact lens for extended periods of time permitting the intraocular pressures to be accurately monitored under normal living conditions, including during sleep. Fine wires are led from the sensor out over the eyelid for connection to an external recording/monitoring apparatus.
