  • Publication number: 20260104149
    Abstract: Various components for artificial candles and other lighting devices are described that can be used to create a realistic flame effect in the devices. The devices include a flame element that extends upwardly from a housing. A light source can be disposed with respect to the flame element such that the flame element is illuminated. A variety of drive mechanisms could be disposed within the body of the device that can cause movement of the flame element with respect to the housing. The flame element can be coupled to a housing or mounting bracket of the device using various components to suspend the flame element within the housing.

  • Publication number: 20250387562
    Abstract: Various fluid delivery systems are described comprising an infusion pump having a housing with a first opening and a hollow interior portion that is configured to receive a cartridge having a tubing. A pump unit can be disposed within the housing. The pump unit comprises a motor mechanically coupled with a crank shaft or eccentric cam that is configured to move a set of pistons or other objects to thereby compress one or more portions of the tubing over time as the crank shaft or eccentric cam rotates.

  • Patent number: 12465436
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided that provide assistance in selecting appropriate interventions for treatment of disease and injury to the eye. Systems of the inventive concept provide cloud-based processing and storage of clinical and patient-specific data, which can provide treatment recommendations and projected outcomes to a practitioner using a local device. Systems, devices, and methods can generate interactive physiomechanical models of the eye of a specified individual, which are derived measurements of mechanical properties of structures of the eye. The physiomechanical model is interactive, and can be used to emulate the effects of one or more medical interventions in the eye in order to implement an optimized treatment plan for the individual.

  • Publication number: 20250170331
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for presenting information for managing a vital sign of a patient. A graphical user interface (GUI) can be presented that displays information concerning a vital sign of a patient, including the most current value of the vital sign received and past values of the vital sign over an elapsed time period. Preferably, the systems and methods are used with a closed-loop system that may automatically adjust a dosage rate of a medication, although manual control is also contemplated. The GUI may comprise a manual management object that is selectable to switch from the closed-loop system to a manual system. Once selected, a second set of vital signs can be generated by selecting items of the historical data falling within a second predefined time period.

  • Publication number: 20250049529
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for a combined Femto and Phaco surgical system built into a single housing. The system advantageously permits each of the Femto device and Phaco surgical tray to be rotated out of the way or into the position without requiring movement of a patient. Thus, a user can switch between Femto and Phaco surgical procedures without movement of the patient.
