  • Publication number: 20040262871
    Abstract: A mobile device for promoting the sale of a number of products by a driver. The device may include a steering mechanism with a pair of foot sleds for the driver to stand thereon and a product compartment positioned about the steering mechanism. The products positioned within the product compartment may be within reach of the driver.

  • Patent number: 5517261
    Abstract: A method for focusing a corneal topographer by determining the maximum intensity of a reflected light during a first focusing sweep and capturing the topographic image during a second sweep when the reflection intensity reaches the maximum intensity.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Alcon Laboratories, Inc.
    Inventors: Asif Sharif, Daniel R. Peters, Keming Lu, Sami El Hage
  • Patent number: 5396303
    Abstract: A pattern ERG (PERG) projector includes a coherent light source (32) for generating a projection beam, modulation optics (34) for modulating the projection beam with an alternating ERG interference pattern with a selected spatial and alternation frequency, and wide angle imaging optics (36) for focusing the projection beam such that it passes through the pupil, and then diverges to project onto a selected portion of the retina.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5318022
    Abstract: An oximetry technique permits determination of hemoglobin oxygenation in vascular beds such as the inner retinal capillary beds. For a retinal application, an oximeter (FIG. 2) uses as a probe light source a multiline argon laser (11) that operates at three wavelengths in the hemoglobin absorption band, preferably 488, 501, and 514 nm. The oximeter optics module (30) attaches to the output end of a conventional slit lamp microscope (20). Reflected probe light is separated (34) into its constituent wavelengths, and photon counters (38) are used to measure light intensity for each wavelength. Data acquisition and analysis are performed by an oximeter processor (40) that computes hemoglobin oxygenation ratios from the intensity measurements, and determines the corresponding percent oxygen saturation.

  • Patent number: 5233373
    Abstract: A pattern ERG (PERG) projector (FIG. 2a) includes a coherent light source (32) for generating a projection beam, modulation optics (34) for modulating the projection beam with an alternating ERG interference pattern (with a selected spatial and alternation frequency), segmentation optics 35 for selectively segmenting the ERG interference pattern, and wide-angle imaging optics (36) for focusing the projection beam such that it passes through the pupil, and then diverges to project onto the entire retinal field-of-view, including the anterior retina out to the far periphery. A PERG testing program can be used to selectively probe the entire retina and develop a retinal map--PERG data has been correlated with retinal ganglion cell viability, and is therefore useful in diagnosing and monitoring retinal degeneration caused by glaucoma and other diseases.
