  • Patent number: 11273072
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a body, a cannula, a conduit, and a magnetic element. The cannula extends distally from the body. The cannula is flexible and has a distal end. The cannula defines a lumen distally terminating at the distal end. The cannula is sized and configured to pass between a sclera layer and a choroid layer in a human eye. The conduit is in fluid communication with the lumen. The magnetic element is positioned in the body.

  • Patent number: 11076984
    Abstract: A method includes inserting a flexible cannula between a sclera and a choroid of an eye. The needle is advanced from a distal end of the flexible cannula, such that the needle pierces the choroid to access a subretinal space of the eye. The needle is used to aspirate fluid from the subretinal space. The fluid may be present from a retinal detachment, a macular hemorrhage, or other condition present before the procedure begins. The method may further include injecting the fluid in the subretinal space via the needle, in which case the fluid may be a balanced salt solution or other bleb fluid. The method may further include injecting a therapeutic agent into the subretinal space after aspirating the bleb fluid. The volume of injected bleb fluid may be greater than the volume of injected therapeutic agent.

  • Patent number: 10108437
    Abstract: Example embodiments herein include a process executing in a browser that obtains a video editor application over a network. After obtaining the video editor application, a configuration process associated with the video editor application obtains a configuration file over the network. The configuration file identifies operable characteristics of the video editor application to be enabled for use by a corresponding user viewing the browser. The configuration process associated with the video editor application running on the browser executes the instance of the video editor application in accordance with the configuration file obtained over the network. Creation, maintenance, and distribution of different configuration files for different contexts enables the same video editor application running on corresponding remote browsers to be selectively configured in one of many different ways.

  • Patent number: 8650489
    Abstract: A content manager an indication that a branch event is to be included in a video presentation. In conjunction with the branch event, the content manager also receives a selection of a plurality of video segments to be associated with the branch event. Each video segment defines video content to be rendered during playback (e.g., by a rendering application) of the video presentation upon selection of a branch choice corresponding to that video segment. Additionally, the content manager encodes the plurality of video segments and the corresponding branch choices as a branch event in the video presentation.

  • Patent number: 8561216
    Abstract: The invention provides a helmet for protecting the head of a wearer and includes a helmet body and a strap for coupling the helmet to the head, the strap being secured to the helmet body. The strap has two halves, each with a front portion for passing under the wearer's chin and a rear portion for passing around the side and rear of the wearer's head. The front portion of each strap half has an end that is secured to the helmet body at a first location at the side and the second portion has an end that is secured to the helmet body towards the rear. An elastically deformable element, such as a suction cup and/or a pad, is located in a pocket towards the end of the second portion. This provides additional grip, comfort, and security.

  • Patent number: 8442386
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for an insert deflector to provide a user (i.e. video editor) with greater control as to media enhancements applied to a user-created video. Specifically, the insert deflector provides blocking code for a portion of a media presentation created by the user. The blocking code is associated with an edit decision list that defines the media presentation. Via execution of the edit decision list to render the media presentation, the insert deflector applies the blocking code to prevent insertion of at least one media insert at the portion of the media presentation. A media insert can be an advertisement inserted into a user-created video, or an advertisement shown in conjunction with the playback of the video.

  • Patent number: 8265457
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product provides for a proxy media editor to combine editing, rendering, and a plurality of output specifications via a unified platform. The proxy media editor accesses at least one output specification and an edit decision list stored on a server system. The proxy media editor receives a request for media output at the server system, the media output associated with an edit decision list stored on the server system. The proxy media editor renders, at the server system, the media output according to the output specification and the edit decision list. The proxy media editor delivers, from the server system, the media output via a media delivery channel compatible with the output specification. Thus, a user can create a single edited video composition in a hosted web-based environment which can dynamically meet the exact requirements of various delivery channels.
