Abstract: In some examples, a system includes an article of personal protective equipment (PPE) having at least one sensor configured to generate a stream of usage data; and an analytical stream processing component comprising: a communication component that receives the stream of usage data; a memory configured to store at least a portion of the stream of usage data and at least one model for detecting a safety event signature, wherein the at least one model is trained based as least in part on a set of usage data generated by one or more other articles of PPE of a same type as the article of PPE; and one or more computer processors configured to: detect the safety event signature in the stream of usage data based on processing the stream of usage data with the model, and generate an output in response to detecting the safety event signature.

Abstract: Devices and systems for delivering light to a target are described. Methods of using such light delivery device and system are also described. A method of using a photosensitizing compound with the light delivery device is also described.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns altering the mechanical and/or chemical property of a body tissue, particularly an ocular tissue. In specific cases, it concerns altering or stabilizing the shape of the cornea, such as in a subject suffering or at risk for ectasia or keratoconus. In other specific cases, it concerns strengthening the sclera in a subject suffering or at risk for myopia. The invention employs light irradiation of a photoactivatable compound, such as one that applies crosslinking to the tissue, for example.

Abstract: There is provided in one embodiment of the disclosure a tissue adhesive composition comprising an engineered protein having repeated blocks of an elastin domain and at least one cell-binding domain and further comprising a polymer crosslinker. When the engineered protein and the polymer crosslinker are introduced onto a tissue, the engineered protein and the polymer crosslinker initiate an in situ crosslinking reaction to form an adhesive bond that is mechanically strong, transparent, biocompatible, and stimulates regrowth of one or more tissue layers over the adhesive bond. In another embodiment of the disclosure there is provided a molded corneal onlay and method of making the same.

Abstract: The present invention relates to altering the physical and/or chemical properties of at least part of at least one tissue in the eye. In a specific embodiment, it relates to the treatment and/or prevention of myopia. An activating energy source is utilized to photopolymerize or crosslink molecules in the sclera, thereby increasing the strength of the tissue. The individual is administered a crosslinking reagent or photopolymerizable molecule that becomes associated with the membrane, which is then precisely exposed to an energy source, such as light or ultrasound.
