Abstract: A custom lens device is disclosed as a corrective lens created by a specialized 3D printer. Specifically, a qualified technician working with an ophthalmologist and/or an optometrist combine laboratory measurements of the retina and other eye surfaces, then combine that data with subjective input from the patient's correction to an Amsler grid, to create a custom lens that will un-distort vision which has been distorted (i.e., warped), due to undulations in the retina caused by a number of eye diseases, including, but not limited to, epiretinal membrane and macular degeneration.

Abstract: A system for analyzing electrophysiological signals comprises a plurality of electrodes which are adherable to a skin of a subject, and which comprises a ground electrode and a set of signal electrodes. The system also comprises a processor in communication with the electrodes. The processor has a circuit configured to receive from the signal electrodes a first set of signal channels when the ground electrode is disconnected and a second set of signal channels when the ground electrode is active, to compare powers above baseline among the first and the second set of signal channels, and to determine an attachment state of each electrode based on the comparison.

Abstract: A compression dressing includes an elastic bandage strip that is elongated, transparent and self-adhering, and has a first outer side and a second inner side, with a first unextended state and a second elastically extended state. A self-adhesive surface is provided on the first outer side of the elastic bandage strip. An absorbent pad at a terminal end of the elastic bandage strip is applied to a wound, and the remainder of the elastic bandage strip may be wrapped around the absorbent pad and a body part to hold the compression dressing in place and to exert a compressive force on the wound. An elastic bandage strip and/or the absorbent pad includes one or more of spaced apart blood migration markings, compression markings, and a skin adhesive. Methods for applying a compression dressing to a wound to both observe the status and treat the wound are also disclosed.

Abstract: An efficient nanoscale semiconducting optoelectronic system, containing a P/N acceptor donor organic hetrojunction which is optimized for neuronal stimulation—an organic electrolytic photocapacitor. The devices comprise a thin (80 nm) trilayer of metal and p-n semiconducting organic nanocrystals. When illuminated in physiological solution, these metal-semiconductor devices charge up, transducing light pulses into localized displacement currents that are strong enough to electrically stimulate neurons with safe light intensities.

Abstract: A thermal therapy headgear for a patient includes a plurality of thermal reaction compartments, a liquid chamber, a gas chamber, and a gas container. The thermal reaction compartments contain a first of at least two thermal reaction components, and the liquid chamber contains the second thermal reaction component. The gas container has therein a pressurized gas and a gas valve for selectively releasing the pressurized gas into the gas chamber. The gas in the gas chamber will apply pressure to the liquid chamber and force the second thermal reaction component through the valve and into the thermal reaction compartments to react and transfer heat with the patient, and the presence of the gas within the gas chamber will cushion the patient. A method for conducting hypothermic therapy is also disclosed.

Abstract: Hypothermic therapy headgear for patients includes a headpiece for engaging the head of the patient and a cooling member engaged to the headpiece for contacting at least one surface portion of the patient. The cooling member includes at least one cooling surface for contacting the surface portion of the patient, and at least two endothermic reaction components. The endothermic reaction components have an initial state where the endothermic reaction components are separated from contact with each other, and a treatment state in which the endothermic reaction components are placed into contact, wherein an endothermic reaction takes place and cools the cooling surface and the corresponding portion of the patient. An activation device selectively places the endothermic reaction components into the treatment state when a patient is in need of hypothermic therapy. A thermal therapy device and a method for administering thermal therapy are also disclosed.
