  • Haptic for intraocular lens
    Patent number: 4502162
    Abstract: An intraocular lens four point contact haptics with an asymmetrical cross section. The ends of each of the haptics are contiguously juxtaposed and inserted in a common bore in the periphery of the optic. The legs of each of the haptics spiral outwardly in juxtaposed relationship, separate and extend away from each other to form eye contacting heel and toe portions residing on opposing sides of the inferior-superior axis of the lens. When two such haptics are employed, a wide haptic compression range can be achieved with little differential in compression force.

  • Patient sensor continuity detector
    Patent number: 4331161
    Abstract: A device detects a discontinuity in the communication of a sensor with a patient by detecting separation of the sensor from the patient. An alarm responds to the detected separation of the sensor from the patient to signal the discontinuity in the sensor operation. The device is particularly useful with a patient warming device which is responsive to the patient's temperature as sensed by the sensor for controlling the heat applied to the patient.
