Abstract: A contact electrode assembly for delivering at least one therapeutic agent into ocular tissue of a subject includes a flexible dielectric layer, a first electrode portion, and a second electrode portion. The flexible dielectric includes oppositely disposed first and second surfaces. The first electrode portion is disposed on the first surface of the dielectric layer. The second electrode portion is disposed on a portion of the second surface of the dielectric layer. The second electrode portion includes an interdigitated electrode having a first comb-shaped portion defining a first plurality of fingers and a second comb-shaped portion defining a second plurality of fingers. Each of the first electrode portion, the first comb-shaped portion, and the second comb-shaped portion is electrically connectable to a signal source.

Abstract: A portable optical sensor for measuring surface strain in an object, such as pre-stressed concrete articles, is provided. The sensor is a modular device comprising at least first and second modules, each of which includes a laser and image sensor. When placed adjacent to the object, the laser of each module illuminates respective, spaced-apart areas of the object's surface and each module's image sensor captures at least a portion of the light reflected from the illuminated area and generates a speckle image of the area. Speckle images of the areas taken at various times and/or under various object stress conditions are compared to arrive at a surface strain measurement for the object.

Abstract: A television having program recording and playback functions includes a screen, a storage unit, a sensor and a processor. The television determines whether the person is absent in front of the screen during displaying the television program and, if so, records the television program and corresponding channel information, and then determines whether a person is present in front of the screen again after the person is absent in front of the screen and, if so, controls the screen to display a menu. The television reads the recorded channel information to tune to a corresponding channel when a first option of the menu is selected, and reads the recorded television program to display the recorded television program by the screen when a second option of the menu is selected.

Abstract: A display device having a watch-time reminding function includes an input unit, a display unit, a sound output unit and a control unit. A user can use the input unit to set a health watch time or turn on or off the watch-time reminding function. After the watch-time reminding function is turned on, the control unit counts a current watch time and compares the current watch time with the health watch time. When the current watch time reaches the health watch time, the control unit judges that the user spends too much time watching the display device. Accordingly, the control unit controls the display unit to display a reminding image and controls the sound output unit to output a reminding sound so as to remind the user to take a rest or do eye exercise to prevent nearsightedness.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a switching interface method for multi-interface storage device having a transmission interfaces and a predetermining list that stores different priority weights for the transmission interfaces. When the storage device connects to a computer, the switching interface method is executed and one of the transmission interfaces is selected to communicate with the computer according to the priority weight in sequence. In addition, a user's interface is also provided for the user, and the user can switch other transmission interface of the multi-interface storage device to link to the computer. Therefore, the multi-interface storage device may link to most of the computers and successfully communicate with the computer.

Abstract: This invention relates to an eye-tracking driving system, especially to an eye-tracking system controlled by the user's eye. It not only utilizes the unique eye-controlled method, but also avoids contacting with the user's eyes or skin. It is suitable for the disabled persons or the elderly so that they can drive a powered vehicle easily. The system mainly includes a display device, an eye-tracking device, a calculating device, a controller and a powered vehicle. This system can effectively capture the image around the user's eye and then precisely determine the pupil center. Based on the position of the pupil center, the power vehicle can be controlled.

Abstract: An optical system has a correction half-sphere lens having multiple secondary mirrors mounted on an outer periphery of the correction half-sphere lens. A primary half-sphere mirror is coaxial and shares a same curvature center with the correction half-sphere lens. The primary half-sphere mirror has multiple through holes each corresponding to one of the secondary mirrors and having a second correction lens received therein to receive light from the corresponding secondary mirror. A cap is provided on top of the primary half-sphere mirror and has a shutter in a center of the cap to control incident light coming to the system.
