  • Patent number: 12336902
    Abstract: An ocular prosthesis includes a display device visible at an anterior portion of the ocular prosthesis. The display device is configured to present a changeable image that represents a natural appearance and movement for a visible portion of an eyeball of a subject. A system includes, besides the ocular prosthesis, an implant marker configured to move with an orbital implant disposed in an eye socket of a subject. A method includes determining a change in orientation of an orbital implant in a subject and determining an update to a natural appearance for a visible portion of an eyeball for the subject based on the change in orientation of the orbital implant. The method also includes rendering an update to an image of the natural appearance for a display device disposed in an ocular prosthesis configured to be inserted in the subject anterior to the orbital implant.

  • Publication number: 20030031182
    Abstract: The invention includes a service exchange platform, a service access unit, and a service provisioning system. The service exchange platform provides one or more trunk interfaces with public and private communications networks. The service access unit provides multimedia communications service including voice and data service to the tenant premises. The service provisioning system is a software platform for managing a network of service exchange platforms and service access units. Within the service exchange platform and the service access unit and/or in communications between them, a modified ETHERNET protocol is used. Specifically, the 48-bit MAC field in each ETHERNET packet is redefined to include a QOS indicator and ATM VPI/VCI type routing information. This enables rapid routing of packets throughout the system and maintenance of QOS for voice packets.
