Patent number: 11614623Abstract: A system, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for providing a visual examination are provided. A diagnostic module configured to execute on a first computing device communicatively coupled to a head mounted holographic display device worn by a user renders a virtual arrangement displayed within the head mounted holographic display device at an initial simulated distance away from the user. Within the virtual arrangement is an imbedded pattern. A second computing device receives, from leads attached to the user, brain waves of the user. The second computing device displays a visual evoked potential within the brain waves. The visual evoked potential comprises an indication that the user visually identified the imbedded pattern at a second simulated distance away from the user. The visual evoked potential occurs at a focal length of a refractive error of an eye of the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2020Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: Veyezer, LLCInventors: William V.

Patent number: 11253149Abstract: A system and a method for holographic eye testing device are disclosed. The system renders one or more three dimensional objects within the holographic display device. The system updates the rendering of the one or more three dimensional objects within the holographic display device, by virtual movement of the one or more three dimensional objects within the level of depth. The system receives input from a user indicating alignment of the one or more three dimensional objects after the virtual movement. The system determines a delta between a relative virtual position of the one or more three dimensional objects at the moment of receiving input and an optimal virtual position and generates prescriptive remedy based on the delta.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2019Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Veyezer, LLCInventors: William V.

Patent number: 7253824Abstract: A method and apparatus of providing wave-front color therapy using a computer or portable handheld devices such as PDA's and other portable telecommunication devices to deliver a specific different nanometer wavelength of light to affect a wide variety of visual, binocular, function, perceptual, and cognitive-related vision imbalances that interfere with function and performance. The current proposed device would provide specific treatment for these difficulties by delivering different wavelengths of light through a computer monitor. The exact therapeutic prescription including nanometer specifications and hue-saturation will be prescribed for individuals with a wide range of visual problems caused by a traumatic brain injury, cerebrovascular accident, and Multiple Sclerosis, and the like, to name a few examples. This disclosure claims analog and digital relations of light as it relates to both the spatial and temporal relationship of light.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2003Date of Patent: August 7, 2007Inventors: Dara C.

Patent number: 5120168Abstract: A fastener, such as a machine screw or bolt, designed with a double head, one located above the other, which when tightened by means of the upper head will, when tightened to a specifically desired amount of inch or foot pounds of torqure, over the amount of torque required to apply the main part of the fastener to the desired degree of tightness will shear the upper head from the lower head, automatically torquing no more than desired. The lower head has a conical shape so as to provide a minimum surface to preclude removal by gripping with pliers, a wrench, or screwdriver. This is effected by having the angle between the surface of the cone and the base of the cone advantageously no more than 35.degree., preferably no more than 30.degree. or less. This ultimately provides a tamper-proof fastener with total automatic torquing capabilities.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1991Date of Patent: June 9, 1992Inventor: William V. Padula

Patent number: 4252419Abstract: An ophthalmic measuring instrument has an instrument frame with suitable clips for mounting the instrument frame to an eyeglass frame on the patient so that spaced eye viewing openings on the instrument frame of the ophthalmic measuring instrument are disposed in alignment with the position of the lenses for the given eyeglass frame to which the instrument frame is attached. Transparent yellow and blue strips having respectively sized widths are adjustably mounted on the instrument frame for movement relative the eye viewing openings and for intersecting movement relative each other. The patient can, in an adjusted position of said yellow and blue strips, view white square targets of predetermined size as a function of the specific working or reading distance at which said targets are being viewed.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1979Date of Patent: February 24, 1981Inventors: William V.
