Patent number: 11484402Abstract: Accommodating intraocular lenses including an optic having an anterior element and a posterior element defining an optic fluid chamber, wherein the optic is aspheric across all powers throughout accommodation or disaccommodation. Intraocular lenses, optionally accommodating, where an optic portion is centered with a midline of a height of the peripheral portion, the height measured in the anterior to posterior direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2019Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Alcon Inc.Inventors: Terah Whiting Smiley, Daniel Hildebrand, Bryan Patrick Flaherty

Patent number: 11166808Abstract: Accommodating intraocular lenses and methods of use. The accommodating intraocular lenses include peripheral regions that are adapted to be more responsive to certain types of forces than to other types of forces. For example, the accommodating intraocular lenses can include haptics that are stiffer in an anterior-to-posterior direction than in a radial direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: Alcon Inc.Inventors: Terah Whiting Smiley, Daniel Hildebrand, Bryan Patrick Flaherty

Patent number: 8069857Abstract: A method of providing phototherapy to a patient. In some embodiments, the method includes the steps of placing a patient on a rigid support surface of a phototherapy device, the support surface being adapted to support the patient without substantial deformation; transmitting light from a light source through a first portion of the support surface to the patient; and limiting light transmission from the light source through a second portion of the support surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2006Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: Natus Medical IncorporatedInventors: Dong-Chune Christopher Chung, Abraham John Totah, Wesley Chung Joe, Edmond Ming Wai Chiu, David John Brude, Bryan Patrick Flaherty, William Loyd Mince

Publication number: 20110263990Abstract: A measurement device for generating an arterial volume-indicative signal includes an exciter and a detector. The exciter is adapted to receive an oscillating signal and generate a pressure wave based at least in part on the oscillating signal on the artery at a measurement site on a patient. The pressure wave includes a frequency. The detector is placed sufficiently near the measurement site to detect a volumetric signal indicative of arterial volume of the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2011Publication date: October 27, 2011Applicant: Masimo CorporationInventors: Bryan Patrick Flaherty, Mark Henry Sher, Richard G. Caro

Patent number: 6632181Abstract: A blood pressure can be obtained by supplying an external pressure to a portion of an artery. The external pressure is preferably between the systolic and diastolic pressure. An event which occurs at least once a cycle can then be identified. This event can be, for example, a peak in the arterial compliance that occurs at a transmural pressure approximately equal to zero. A pair of signals, one that is an arterial volume-indicating signal, and one that is an arterial pressure-indicating signal can be used to identify this event. Alternately, a small signal high-frequency exciter component can be placed upon the pressure or volume of the artery and detected to determine the time that the transmural pressure is equal to zero.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1999Date of Patent: October 14, 2003Assignee: Masimo CorporationInventors: Bryan Patrick Flaherty, Mark Henry Sher, Richard G.
