  • Patent number: 10627611
    Abstract: A lens barrel which prevents an increase in driving force for optical units in a direction of an optical axis to downsize a power transmission mechanism, save power and also prevents undesired movement of the optical units even when they are urged by urging forces large enough to prevent rattling. The optical units move in the direction of the optical axis, and they are urged by urging member in the direction of the optical axis. A camshaft provided on outer peripheries of the optical units extends in the direction of the optical axis and is cam-engaged with each of the optical units. The power transmission mechanism transmits driving force, which is for rotating the camshaft, to the camshaft. A torque generated in the camshaft by the urging member urging one of the optical units and another torque generated in the camshaft by the urging member urging another one of the optical units are opposite in direction.

  • Patent number: 10620454
    Abstract: A system and method for determining the measurements needed to fabricate prescription eyeglasses. A person is imaged wearing the eyeglass frames, from a first camera position and a subsequent camera position. This produces images having differing perspectives from known distances. Common measurement points are identified within at least some of the images. The common measurement points undergo positional changes between the images having said differing perspectives. The positional changes of the common measurement points and the known distance to the imaging camera are utilized to map three dimensional coordinates for the measurement points using an actual measurement scale. Fabrication measurements are calculated between the various three-dimensional coordinates in the same scale.

  • Patent number: 10563090
    Abstract: The invention is related to a cost-effective method for making a silicone hydrogel contact lens having a crosslinked hydrophilic coating thereon. A method of the invention involves heating a silicone hydrogel contact lens in an aqueous solution in the presence of a water-soluble, highly branched, thermally-crosslinkable hydrophilic polymeric material having positively-charged azetidinium groups, to and at a temperature from about 40° C. to about 140° C. for a period of time sufficient to covalently attach the thermally-crosslinkable hydrophilic polymeric material onto the surface of the silicone hydrogel contact lens through covalent linkages each formed between one azetidinium group and one of the reactive functional groups on and/or near the surface of the silicone hydrogel contact lens, thereby forming a crosslinked hydrophilic coating on the silicone hydrogel contact lens. Such method can be advantageously implemented directly in a sealed lens package during autoclave.
