  • Publication number: 20240165098
    Abstract: Provided herein is an ophthalmic composition. In some embodiments, the ophthalmic composition includes a low concentration of an ophthalmic agent for treatment of an ophthalmic disorder or condition; and an ophthalmically acceptable carrier, wherein the ophthalmic agent is distributed with substantial uniformity throughout the ophthalmically acceptable carrier. Further disclosed herein include an ophthalmic composition including a low concentration of an ophthalmic agent and deuterated water. Also disclosed herein are methods of arresting or preventing myopia development by administering to an eye of an individual in need thereof an effective amount of an ophthalmic composition as described herein.

  • Publication number: 20240122502
    Abstract: One or more radar sensors can be used to monitor patients in a variety of different environments and embodiments. In one embodiment, radar sensors can be used to monitor a patient's breathing, including monitoring of tidal volume, chest expansion distance, breathing rate, etc. In another embodiment, a patient position can be monitored in a patient bed, which can be used as feedback for control of bladders of a patient bed. Additional embodiments are described herein.

  • Patent number: 11918331
    Abstract: A movement detection device includes a signal transmission device configured to transmit a radar signal transmission toward a target area and to receive reflected radar signals, and a signal analysis device configured to analyze the reflected radar signals to detect a movement in the target area that is indicative of micro-shivering. In response to detecting the micro-shivering, the movement detection device generates an alarm.

  • Patent number: 5220504
    Abstract: The properties of porous material that is hydraulically coupled to a well through openings in cased or in uncased portions of the well are evaluated. The process involves initiating a pressure wave, typically at the well head, so that the pressure oscillations extend to the porous material zone under investigation. Flow of fluid between the well and formation changes the amplitude and frequency content of the oscillations traveling up and down the well. That is, the oscillations are modulated from the form they would have in a like well with no hydraulic communication to the formation. The properties of the formation are derived from these changes.

  • Patent number: 5081613
    Abstract: A method of testing a water or petroleum well to obtain information about well features, especially that part of the well beneath the ground surface, is described. The method is especially useful in detecting problems or irregularities in the well such as stuck tools, casing damage, damaged zones in an uncased well, or debris in a well. The method involves creating oscillations in the fluid pressure in the well. Transducers measure the pressure oscillations. The measured pressure oscillations are used to determine resonant frequencies. The measured resonant frequencies are used to determine the characteristic impedance and the depth of each reflector in the well, after removing resonances caused by known reflectors. It is then possible to determine the nature of each unknown reflector based on suspected problems or the well's operational history.
