Publication number: 20130253528Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering multiple ocular implants to reduce intraocular pressure are disclosed. The ocular implants can be implanted at multiple sites within a single human eye without requiring removal of the delivery apparatus from the eye. A system for delivering multiple ocular implants can include at least two implants preloaded within a delivery device and configured to be implanted within the eye, a metering device configured to transfer energy to the implants for delivery at selected locations within the eye, wherein the metering device is configured to meter a variable amount of energy for each implant delivery event in the eye. The system can further include an injector mechanism configured to serially engage and drive each of the implants.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: September 26, 2013Applicant: GLAUKOS CORPORATIONInventors: David Steven Haffner, John Joseph Cogger, Charles Raymond Kalina, JR., Douglas Daniel Crimaldi

Patent number: 7887055Abstract: An improved puzzle of the type that requires an examinee to fill a geometric grid with indicia using a set of clues and guided by placement rules, comprising a plurality of geometric shapes arranged contiguously to form rows, columns, diagonals, and spaces where the geometric shapes intersect. The placement rules of an embodiment are to fill the geometric shapes with non-repeating indicia such that indicia are also not repeated in any row, column, diagonal, or geometric shape. Clues are provided by the examiner in the form of a predetermined subset of the solution indicia, aggregation information about the indicia in each diagonal, and aggregation information about the indicia bordering areas where the geometric shapes intersect. This construct provides a superior challenge for the examinee by increasing the number and types of techniques required to solve a puzzle instance.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2008Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Inventor: Douglas Daniel Gardner

Patent number: 7085554Abstract: The present invention is a system that uses a migration server to access voicemail of a source system through a front-end switch via a telephony interface, obtain voice messages stored on the source system and store them on a destination system via a data interface. A host processor initiates a migration based on a mailbox migration status stored in a host database and controls the switch to provide a path from the migration server to the source system. The host processor also controls call flow and initiates pass code (PIN) digit capture of a subscriber's pass code by the switch for mailboxes to be migrated. Call flow control includes determining to which system to route an arriving call based on migration status and determining whether to output a message-waiting indicator for newly stored messages. A migration server controls call tree navigation aspects of call flow during migration.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2003Date of Patent: August 1, 2006Assignee: Common Voices LLCInventors: Donald F. Picard, Douglas Daniel Raponi, Jose J. Capo, Ray Fernando Jimenez

Publication number: 20060036182Abstract: A catheter for diagnosing and performing an interventional procedure on tissue has an elongated catheter shaft, and optical fibers, extending through the catheter shaft, for transmitting light to tissue located at a distal end of the catheter and conveying light back from the tissue for analysis by a spectroscopic diagnosis system to determine whether an interventional procedure should be performed on the tissue. An interventional device is located at the distal end of the catheter for engaging tissue diagnosed by the spectroscopic diagnosis system in order to perform the interventional procedure on the tissue.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2005Publication date: February 16, 2006Inventors: Douglas Daniels, Michael Banik
