In another aspect, an absolute pressure within the cavity may be less than standard atmospheric pressure when the package is in an unopened state.

Abstract: A new contact lens dispenser provides one-touch contact lens handling capabilities. The contact lens dispenser is designed to house a plurality of contact lenses in individual pods, each of which in turn contains a solution to keep the contact lens hydrated. The contact lens dispenser is equipped with an actuator that allows a contact lens to be dispensed out of its pod onto a fingertip ready for insertion in the eye.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved contact lens packages and methods of use and manufacture/assembly. A contact lens package includes a base and a lid connected to the base. The base includes a base cavity that houses a contact lens and packaging solution, and at least one projection (140) disposed at least partially within the base cavity. The at least one projection may extend along an internal surface of the base toward an end of the base cavity. The lid extends over and cover the base cavity when the package is in an unopened state. In another embodiment, at least a portion of the base cavity is formed by a bowl comprising a main portion (236) and a channel portion (238) extending away from the main portion.

Abstract: Described herein are devices and methods for storage and application of a contact lens. The device includes an applicator cap (102) including a handle portion (106a) having a first end, a second end, and a body that extends between the first end and the second end. The body includes at least one lever surface. The device includes a container (104) having a reservoir configured to house a contact lens and packaging solution. The at least one lever surface is configured to provide at least one leverage point for movement of the applicator cap relative to the container.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved contact lens packages comprising arms and methods of use. A contact lens package (100) houses a contact lens (138) and packaging solution and is configured to lift via arms (134, 144) the contact lens out of the packaging solution when the lid (106) is removed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved contact lens packages and methods of use and manufacture/assembly. A contact lens package may include a cavity that houses a contact lens, packaging solution, and an absorbent member. In one aspect, the absorbent member may be configured for transitioning between an expanded state and a compressed state, and the absorbent member may be in the compressed state when the package is in an unopened state.

Abstract: Unmanned vehicles can be terrestrial, aerial, nautical, or multi-mode. Unmanned vehicles may be used to survey a property in response to or in anticipation of a threat. For example, an unmanned vehicle may analyze information about the property and based on the information deter theft of items on the property.

Abstract: A system may include one or more sensors configured to acquire data associated with a driver of a vehicle and a processor. The processor may receive the data and determine whether the data is within a baseline data associated with expected behavior of the driver. The processor may then control one or more operations of the vehicle in response to the data being outside the baseline data.

Abstract: A contact lens package includes a base having a proximal end and a distal end, a solution well between the proximal end and the distal end, a contact lens support in the solution well, a top opening between the proximal end and the distal end and over the contact lens support, and a via through a wall of the base adjacent the well, the via providing a fluid exit for solution within well. A removable lid overlying the top opening may be removably affixed over the top opening such that a user may remove the lid to access the contact lens. Using this package, fluid can be drained away from the contact lens in the package before removal from the package by a user, thus providing good adhesion between a user's finger or applicator and the lens over prior packaging.
