Abstract: A support agent uses a user interface within a web browser to support a remote internet of things (IoT) device in proximity to a user operating a smartphone having a proxy app installed thereon. The agent establishes a peer to peer connection between the smartphone proxy app and the agent user interface, such as with WebRTC. The proxy app scans for the IoT device and establishes a wireless connection between the smartphone and the IoT device. The agent by issuing instructions from the agent user interface to the smartphone proxy app is able to solicit or receive data from the IoT device, and to thereby adjust, configure, or diagnose the status of the IoT device. The proxy app may also establish video, voice or chat peer to peer communications with the agent, allowing the user to assist the agent in diagnosing the status of the IoT device.

Abstract: An ophthalmic surgical device is disclosed that combines laser energy for treatment of vision or ocular defect and illumination energy for visualization of a treatment site during surgery in a single common waveguide fiber, thereby enabling reduction of a diameter of a probe or canula of the device, whereby a smaller incision may be utilized to reduce trauma to the eye. The device may further include additional features, such as a conduit for supply of material or removal of material from the treatment site.

Abstract: An illumination and laser energy delivery system, providing various flush and extended tip laser and illumination probe configurations for retinal surgery, is disclosed that allows efficient delivery of laser and illumination energy to a surgical site through a device that is smaller than the standard 20 gauge probe conventionally used in endophotocoagulation procedures. Novel constructions, as disclosed, enable the space inside the probe cannula to be used more efficiently than in prior art devices, providing improved performance of the device and system in delivering laser and illumination energy to the surgical site.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method of navigation/manipulation and display of media or data residing on a media player type device or other limited display system. The method includes a non-hierarchical intelligent associative reorganization of the media player database as stored on the media device. The method implements a technique to display the database entries that promotes the application of associative connections by the user to the database entries during the navigation of the database. Therefore, the selection of media objects or data entries that make up a play list as it is generated by the user is constructed using associative connections while the user traverses the non-hierarchical presentation of the database. The present invention also includes a remote control data management system that includes a docking station and a remote control unit that maintain and manipulate metadata in one or more databases even after a media player has been disconnected.
