  • System and Method for Quantification and Feedback of Eye Deviations
    Publication number: 20240074699
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system, method, and apparatus for quantification and feedback of eye deviations during normal viewing conditions. A sensory biofeedback system serves to emit a sensory cue such as a tone or vibration when a certain threshold of eye deviation has been exceeded. The biofeedback system allows objective monitoring of the accuracy of eye alignment that can be used outside of a clinical setting or inside a clinical setting.

  • Method, System and Apparatus for Diagnostic Assessment and Screening of Binocular Dysfunctions
    Publication number: 20210275013
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems, methods, and apparatus to objectively assess binocular dysfunction for screening, diagnoses, and evaluation of vision/oculomotor function before, during, and after various forms of therapeutic interventions. Systems and methods of the present disclosure diagnose and assess binocular dysfunction objectively and automatically, can render a visual stimulus on one or more displays, and can control accommodative and proximal vergence stimulation of a user's eyes.

  • Method, system, and apparatus for treatment of binocular dysfunctions
    Patent number: 10335342
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for vision therapy. In exemplary embodiments a visual therapy game can be rendered on one or more displays and the visual therapy game can be controlled by eye movements of the user. Visual stimuli incorporated in the visual therapy game can be rendered to facilitate vergence eye movements for the treatment of binocular dysfunctions.

  • Method for determining the acceptance of progressive addition lenses
    Patent number: 8814361
    Abstract: Method for determining the acceptance of progressive addition lenses of a wearer, the method comprising: a fusional vergence parameter providing step during which at least one fusional vergence parameter representing the fusional vergence of the wearer is provided, an acceptance determining step during which the value of the at least one fusional vergence parameter is compared to a predetermined threshold value so as to determine the probability of acceptance of progressive addition lens of the wearer.

  • Dynamic latency assignment methodology for bandwidth optimization of packet flows
    Patent number: 7321557
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting delay sensitive information (DSI) and non-delay sensitive information (NDSI) over a communication link where initial DSI packets are delayed to reduce the number of conflicts between DSI and NDSI. The delay applied to the DSI is based on parameters such as the transmission periodicity of the DSI packets and the packet length of the NDSI being transmitted.

  • Dynamic fragmentation of information
    Patent number: 7088738
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting delay sensitive information (DSI) and non-delay sensitive information (NDSI) over a communication link where the NDSI is fragmented in an efficient and intelligent manner and the fragmentation is based on parameters of received DSI so as to reduce the likelihood of transmission conflicts between the DSI and the NDSI. DSI and NDSI are thus interleaved over the communication link in an efficient manner. Both the NDSI and the DSI are transmitted in accordance with a network layer protocol.
