Publication number: 20230180863Abstract: An anti-fogging facemask for preventing fogging of the wearer's glasses or goggles is described herein. The anti-fogging facemask includes an outer facemask and an inner facemask. The inner facemask is attached to the outer facemask. The inner facemask provides a barrier to prevent exhaled air from traveling through the upper end of the facemask. The inner facemask directs exhaled air downwards. The outer facemask forms a seal at an upper portion of the wearer's nose. The facemask may be configured to serve as a CO2 concentrating mask for temporary relief of allergic rhinitis symptoms.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2023Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Eugene Orloff, Paul V.

Patent number: 11395630Abstract: An ocular device is disclosed along with methods for the employment thereof. In one aspect, a device for placement into a lacrimal punctum or conjunctival sac of a person includes one or more sensor materials responsive to one or more components of the chemical composition of the person's tears. Each sensor material is configured to present a tear-based color from a plurality of tear-based colors indicative of a medical condition of the person. In some embodiments, phenylboronic acid could be employed as a sensor material(s). In some embodiments, material(s) emitting radiation when excited by other radiation could be employed as a sensor material. In another aspect, methods for employing the ocular device are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2018Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: TearDX LLCInventors: Eugene Orloff, Paul V.

Publication number: 20210338211Abstract: An ocular device for insertion into the eye (for example, into a lacrimal punctum or a conjunctival sac) are described herein. The ocular device may continuously capture specific analytes from tear fluid. Several embodiments of the ocular device may have one or more open channels and pores that enable tears to drain naturally through while capturing specific analytes. A mechanism of detecting analytes in bodily fluids using materials comprised of DNAzymes and/or aptamers are described herein. Aptamers are oligonucleotide or peptide molecules that bind to a specific target molecule. DNAzymes are designed to catalyze a number of biological reactions (i.e., RNA cleavage, DNA cleavage, ligation, or phosphorylation reactions). A number of ways an ocular insert may capture analytes in tear fluid in vivo for subsequent in vitro analysis are described herein. Additionally, a specific mechanism for colorimetric detection of analytes using aptamer- and/or DNAzyme-crosslinked hydrogels are described herein.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2021Publication date: November 4, 2021Inventors: Eugene Orloff, Paul V.
