Abstract: A method for calibrating and identifying a tonometer probe includes the steps of: a) generating an initial magnetic impulse upon a probe of ferromagnetic material via a first electromagnetic coil using known impulse parameters, b) generating a magnetic impulse via an electromagnetic coil to reverse probe velocity, c) repeating steps a)-b) for N cycles, d) measuring a resultant-induced voltage upon a measuring electromagnetic coil from probe motion, e) comparing the resultant-induced voltage upon the measuring electromagnetic coil to a reference value, and f) rejecting the probe if the induced voltage measured by the measuring electromagnetic coil is different than the reference value after N cycles.

Abstract: An ophthalmic instrument for self-tonometry includes a body that houses a measurement device for measuring intraocular pressure of a user's eye and at least one anatomical fixation point for adjusting a distance between the anatomical fixation point and a center of the user's eye. An eye identification device attached to the body uses a gyroscope or other sensor to allow identification of a left eye or a right eye being measured.

Abstract: The information processing platform (100, 200) includes: an auxiliary web server (11, 110); a back-end server (12, 120); wherein the auxiliary web server is configured to: receive information relating to a web client (10, 150) query; and forward the information to the back-end server, and wherein the back-end server is configured to: process the information according to instructions codified in a configuration file (14, 140); and store the processed information in the data storage.

Abstract: This invention is in the field of surgical tools for the prevention of operating room fires. The invention relates to a system and methods which minimizes the threat to the health and safety of surgical patients and medical staff resulting from lapses in human judgment that result in inadvertent violations of conventional fire prevention protocols.
