Abstract: Apparatus and methods for measuring the deformation in a floating-roof seal assembly. A fiber optic cable is attached along its length to the floating-roof seal assembly such that the fiber optic cable is deformed when the floating-roof seal assembly is deformed. Deformation of the fiber optic cable and the seal assembly can be determined based on how the light interacts with the fiber optic cable. This helps allow tanks with a floating roof to be monitored.

Abstract: Sealing members for use with implantable devices and associated methods are disclosed. The sealing members include monofilament strands braided with multifilament strands into a cylindrical braided material. The monofilament strands and the multifilament strands can each comprise polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

Abstract: In certain embodiments, an ophthalmic system that presents information describing an eye includes a memory, display device, and computer. The memory stores data describing the eye. The data includes measurements of the eye, and the measurements include one or more eye model measurements used to generate an eye model of the eye. The display device presents an image. The computer applies a light propagation technique to the eye model measurements to generate the eye model of the eye. The computer receives a selection of one or more parameters to use in a simulation performed using the eye model and applies the selected parameters to the eye model to yield one or more simulated focal areas. The computer instructs the display device to present the image that includes the simulated focal areas relative to the retinal plane of the eye.
