Abstract: The present invention comprises a method of use of Icilin as a pre-treatment to mitigate the negative effects of extreme thermal trauma to skin tissue on a cellular level. Pre-treatment with Icilin prior to exposure to a thermal trauma event is shown to improve cellular viability, reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, and reduce Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) levels. The treatment is designed to be administered in small doses at concentrations of 0.0002-0.02 nM dissolved in an aprotic polar solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide.

Abstract: The variable depth of field sequential imaging method and system achieves the science fiction idea of AR as a compact, near to the eye, transparent screen. It comes together by merging the two concepts of variable depth of field and field sequential imaging into variable depth of field sequential imaging. The method and system places the transparent imaging screen in front and along the eye's optical axis and directly along the line of sight. The method and system may make AR and VR similar as far as VR's field of view ability, may generate opaque AR objects, and function as a single headset. Additionally, it will accommodate to user's prescription eyewear removing the need to wear additional corrective lenses with the headset, as well as it may track eye movement to properly render computer-generated objects at a focusable distance for the user's eye.
