  • Publication number: 20240148494
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for storing and/or shipping an intraocular lens (IOL) cartridge are provided. A system comprises a packaging comprising a passage. The IOL cartridge is removably disposed within the passage. The IOL cartridge comprises a nozzle and a compartment configured to receive an IOL. The nozzle is in fluid communication with the compartment. The IOL cartridge further comprises a dial configured to rotate upon withdrawal of the IOL cartridge from the passage, wherein an inner surface of the dial is exposed to the compartment. The dial is configured to fold the IOL and release the IOL cartridge from the packaging upon rotation of the dial.

  • Patent number: 11931247
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for storing and/or shipping an intraocular lens (IOL) cartridge are provided. A system comprises the IOL cartridge. The IOL cartridge comprises a nozzle and a compartment comprising an IOL. The nozzle is in fluid communication with the compartment. The IOL cartridge further comprises a dial disposed adjacent to the compartment, wherein an inner surface of the dial is exposed to the compartment. The dial is configured to fold the IOL upon rotation of the dial. The IOL cartridge further comprises a plunger case in fluid communication with the compartment, wherein a plunger is movably disposed within the plunger case. The IOL cartridge is configured to removably attach to a handpiece.

  • Publication number: 20210240159
    Abstract: Methods and system for computing integrals over geometric domains using moment-base representations for interoperability are disclosed. A first computing device may receive data for geometric and field representations of an object, the geometric representation specifying a geometric domain of the object, and the field representation specifying a spatially varying physical quantity. The first computing device may integrate a predetermined set of basis functions over the geometric domain multiplied by a field to derive a moment-vector for the object, the moment-vector encapsulating an analytic formulation of the geometric domain that is independent of the geometric and field representations. The first computing device may computationally generate quadrature rules for integrating an arbitrary function by applying moment-fitting to the moment-vector.

  • Publication number: 20200387652
    Abstract: Methods and systems for evaluation of a physical object directly from a manufacturing process plan are disclosed. A procedural representation of the object may be retrieved from a database. A non-conforming grid of basis functions representing physics to be applied may be determined. Boundary conditions for numerical integration over the object geometry may be determined. The boundary conditions may specify a physical boundary of a portion of the object geometry, and a physical condition applied over the portion. From the procedural representation, geometry and material rules for numerical integration over the portion of the object geometry may be determined. The basis functions may be numerically integrated over the object geometry, and a system of linear equations determined describing the physics subject to the boundary conditions. The system of equations may be solved to evaluate a physical quantity, and a graphical representation of the physical quantity may be displayed.

  • Publication number: 20190227526
    Abstract: Methods and system for computing integrals over geometric domains using moment-base representations for interoperability are disclosed. A first computing device may receive data for a geometric representation of an object, the geometric representation specifying a geometric domain corresponding to a shape and a contained spatial region of the object. The first computing device may computationally integrate a predetermined set of basis functions over the geometric domain to derive a moment-vector for the object, the moment-vector encapsulating an analytic formulation of the geometric domain that is independent of the geometric representation. The first computing device may then computationally generate quadrature rules for integrating an arbitrary function by applying moment-fitting to the moment-vector. The quadrature rules may be provided to a second computing device.
