Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices used to treat eyelids, meibomian glands, ducts, and surrounding tissue are described herein. In some embodiments, an eye treatment device is disclosed, which includes a scleral shield positionable proximate an inner surface of an eyelid, the scleral shield being made of, or coated with, an energy-absorbing material activated by a light energy, and an energy transducer positionable outside of the eyelid, the energy transducer configured to provide light energy at one or more wavelengths, including a first wavelength selected to heat the energy-absorbing material. Wherein, when the eyelid is positioned between the energy transducer and the scleral shield, the light energy from the energy transducer and the heated energy-absorbing material of the scleral shield conductively heats a target tissue region sufficiently to melt meibum within meibomian glands located within or adjacent to the target tissue region.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for construction or fabrication of a surface on a substrate, said surface capable of displaying a viewable static image comprising depositing curable polar optical materials in a controlled manner forming a multiplicity of nano-structure arrays, each array having the properties of specific individual reflectance of a narrow wavelength band and high transmissivity of wavelengths outside the reflective band, the dimensions and arrangements of the arrays purposefully chosen to produce predetermined intensities and hues of colors, said arrangements resulting in said viewable static image on said substrate.

Abstract: A highly-compactable camera crane enables a load platform to be kept level as the boom is raised and lowered. A main boom is comprised of a number of crossed links which pivot at their crossings to allow extension and retraction of the boom and an auxiliary boom of similar crossed link construction couples the load platform to a reference pivot point of the main boom, enabling the load platform to be kept level as the booms are moved up and down relative to the pivot point.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems, and methods for construction or fabrication of optical fiber-like devices by depositing curable optical materials of differing indices of refraction in a controlled manner forming integral optical pathways, the integral optical pathways exhibiting total internal reflection and functioning essentially equivalent optical properties to conventional optical fibers optical pathways.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems, and methods for a view-changing mirror for use with an imaging or image-recording device, including a mirror assembly having a mirror configured to move between a stored position and a deployed position, wherein in the stored position the mirror is proximate the imaging or image-recording device and in the deployed position the direction of view is not oriented in the same direction as a subject being viewed in the imaging or image-recording device.
