  • Patent number: 12661263
    Abstract: A shunt operable to be implanted on an eye is provided. The shunt includes a vein fluidic channel operable to be in fluid communication with an interior of the eye and operable to receive aqueous fluid from the interior of the eye. A body is fluidly coupled with the vein fluidic channel. A valve is disposed within the body and is operable to regulate intraocular pressure in the eye by opening and closing based on pressure from the aqueous fluid. A plurality of outlets are in fluid communication with the body opposite the vein fluidic channel in relation to the valve. The outlets are operable to release the aqueous fluid to the sclera of the eye.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 4, 2021
    Date of Patent: June 23, 2026
    Assignees: The Board Regents of The University of Texas System, THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AS REPRESENTED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERAN AFFAIRS

  • Publication number: 20250381334
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to systems and methods for perfusion, and more specifically, for pulsatile blood perfusion based on a measured pressure waveform. One example method generally includes receiving, via a graphical user interface presented to a user, datapoints indicating a waveform; receiving one or more parameters associated with blood perfusion; generating an offset removed waveform based on the datapoints, the offset removed waveform having a physiological offset removed; converting the offset-removed waveform to a voltage waveform based on the one or more parameters; and operating, via the voltage waveform, a pump to provide blood in a perfusion system. The aspects described herein are applicable for any suitable perfusion environment, such as extracorporeal perfusion or isolated organ perfusion.
