Abstract: A method and surgical system including a laser source for generating a pulsed laser beam, an imaging system including a detector, shared optics configured for directing the pulsed laser beam to an object to be sampled and confocally deflecting back-reflected light from the object to the detector, a patient interface, through which the pulsed laser beam is directed, the patient interface having, a cup with a large and small opening, and a notched ring inside the cup; and a controller operatively coupled to the laser source, the imaging system and the shared optics, the controller configured to align the eye for procedure.

Abstract: A laser surgical method for performing a corneal incision while maintaining iris exposure below a predetermined exposure limit includes: determining an initial iris exposure based on an initial treatment scan, determining whether the initial iris exposure is less than the predetermined exposure limit; generating a revised treatment scan comprising one or more treatment scan modifying elements when the initial iris exposure is greater than the predetermined exposure limit, and scanning the focal zone of a pulsed laser beam according to the revised treatment scan, thereby performing the corneal incision, wherein the one or more treatment scan modifying elements causes the iris exposure to be smaller than the predetermined exposure limit.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for a multi-objective scheme for solving a cell switch-off problem. The multi-objective solution seeks to minimize or reduce network energy consumption by switching off some of the cells in the network while allowing enough capacity according to traffic needs and quality of service requirement. An embodiment method includes determining, for each one of a plurality of established traffic profiles, a set of solutions with respect to a number of active cells from a plurality of cells in the network and an aggregate network capacity. The method further includes matching a given traffic profile to one of the established traffic profiles, and evaluating performances of the solutions corresponding to that traffic profile. A solution from the solutions is then selected in accordance with the evaluation. The selected solution indicates which of the cells in the wireless network to be switched off.
