  • Reversible peristaltic pump and other structures for reflux in eye surgery
    Patent number: 9999709
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for treatment of an eye alter aspiration flow from the eye in response to an occlusion of the aspiration conduit pathway. Where aspiration is drawn from the eye using a volumetric pump, the pump can be reversed so as to induce fluid reflux from the aspiration conduit pathway into the eye to help clear the occlusion. The pump may vary the reverse flow in response to sensed aspiration pressure or the like, and the reverse flow may be halted before the pressure within the aspiration conduit pathway adjacent the eye significantly exceeds the irrigation fluid pressure and/or the pressure within the eye. Reflux may alternatively be generated by modulating a vent valve disposed between an irrigation conduit pathway and the aspiration conduit pathway.

  • Methods and Systems for Measuring Human Faces for Fitting, Selecting, and Optimizing Eyeglasses
    Publication number: 20180164610
    Abstract: Methods and systems include using a digital camera module for capturing a plurality of digital images of a tested subject at a plurality of perspective views. The tested subject is not required to move their head position or viewing direction during the capturing of images. A motion control module I) rotates the camera module with its optical axis pointing at a rotation center to correct any orientation error in capturing the perspective views, and II) positions the camera module to adjust the rotation center for accommodating different head positions of the tested subject. A computer module processes and stores the plurality of digital images to fit an eyeglass frame to the tested subject or to acquire data for fitting prescription lenses into the eyeglass frame. The computer module can provide an augmented reality of different styles of eyeglasses, and obtain 3D measurements for fitting eyeglass frames.
