  • Patent number: 11986244
    Abstract: A wide field fundus camera is disclosed to implement multiple illumination beam projectors and to capture multiple retinal images at various viewing angles to facilitate wide field retinal examination. The wide field fundus camera contemplates an ultra-wide field lens that can provide edge to edge imaging of the entire retina at a single alignment. The wide field fundus camera contemplates configuration of said multiple illumination beam projectors to provide visualization of retina and Purkinje reflections simultaneously to facilitate determination of proper camera alignment with the eye. The wide field fundus camera further contemplates control of multiple illumination beam projectors in a programmable manner to further assess alignment of each illumination beam projector with the eye and to capture said multiple retinal images.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7788430
    Abstract: An integrated circuit digital device, acting as a master, communicates with at least one peripheral device, acting as a slave, using an enhanced single-node protocol for data, address and control operation. The peripheral device may be selected from any number of different functions. The peripheral device may be packaged in a low pin count integrated circuit package. At a minimum, the peripheral device integrated circuit package may have a ground terminal, VSS; a power terminal, VDD or VCC; and a bidirectional serial clock, and data and control input-output (SCIO) terminal. Acknowledgment sequences from both the master and slave devices ensure robust communications therebetween.
