  • Patent number: 12310895
    Abstract: A method implemented in an ophthalmic surgical laser system for forming a corneal flap in a patient's eye with improved bubble management. The flap includes a horizontal bed and a vertical or near vertical side cut around the periphery of the bed except for an uncut hinge area. The side cut has a bubble barrier layer that can prevent bubbles formed by the laser-tissue interaction from escaping into an interface between the corneal and the patient interface lens. In some embodiments, the bubble barrier layer is a thin uncut layer, located in the epithelium of the cornea, that separates the side cut into two portions. In other embodiments, the side cut does not reach the anterior corneal surface, leaving an uncut bubble barrier layer located with the epithelium. In other embodiments, an additional side cut portion is formed through the uncut bubble barrier layer as the last step.

  • Patent number: 12299834
    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating a digital model of an indoor space and virtually furnishing the digital model are described. A data collection device photographs or scans an indoor space and produces dimensional data using collected data. The system further includes a pre-processing process, a planes process, a move to origin process, and a segmentation process that analyze and process the dimensional data to create a digital model of the indoor space. The digital model is saved to a database and is viewable on a display and includes a visual scale that corresponds to the spatial dimensions of the indoor space. The system also detects objects present in the indoor space for removal from the digital model. The system also allows creation and placement of visual object representations for display in the digital model.

  • Publication number: 20240366973
    Abstract: A head wearable air purifier includes a headgear, an air purifier assembly supported by the headgear, a nozzle assembly and a mask body. The air purifier assembly includes a filter and an airflow generator for generating an airflow through the filter. The nozzle assembly is configured to extend in front of a face of a wearer in use. The nozzle assembly includes an inlet aperture configured to receive a filtered airflow from the air purifier assembly, and an air outlet for emitting the filtered airflow from the nozzle assembly. The mask body detachably connects to the nozzle assembly and defines a cavity for receiving a mouth and/or nose of the wearer. The cavity is in fluid communication with the air outlet.

  • Publication number: 20240335323
    Abstract: In laser-assisted corneal lenticule extraction procedures, the lenticule incision profile includes anterior and posterior lenticule incisions, with one or more of the following features: plano transition zone outside the optical zone, to improve mating of anterior and posterior incision surfaces after lenticule extraction; shallow arcuate incisions above the anterior incision and near the lenticule edge, to improve surface mating; separate ring cut intersecting the anterior and posterior incisions in the transition zone, to reduce tissue bridges and minimize tear at the lenticule edges and facilitate easy lenticule extraction; larger posterior incision, which includes a pocket zone outside the lenticule edge, for better surface mating and bubble management during cutting; and a separate ring shaped pocket cut intersecting the pocket zone of the posterior incision, for bubble management.

  • Publication number: 20240327730
    Abstract: A dehydrogenative coupling process to convert alkanes to longer chain olefins in a single process step is described. The approach described combats the thermodynamics of traditional dehydrogenation by consuming the products as they form. This dehydrogenative coupling reaction may be performed in a single reactor which could enable increased per-pass yield of desirable C8+ olefins compared to a traditional two reactors in a series.

  • Publication number: 20240197532
    Abstract: A method implemented in an ophthalmic surgical laser system that employs a resonant scanner, scan line rotator, and XY- and Z-scanners, for forming a corneal flap in a patient's eye with improved bubble management during each step of the flap creation process. A pocket cut is formed first below bed level, followed by the bed connected to the pocket cut, then by a side cut extending from the bed to the anterior corneal surface. The pocket cut includes a pocket region located below the bed level and a ramp region connecting the pocket region to the bed. The bed is formed by a bed cut, including multiple overlapping parallel raster scan passes, and a ring cut. The side cut is formed by multiple side-cut layers at different depths which are joined together. All cuts are formed by scanning a laser scan line generated by the resonant scanner.

A pocket cut is formed first below bed level, followed by the bed connected to the pocket cut, then by a side cut extending from the bed to the anterior corneal surface. The pocket cut includes a pocket region located below the bed level and a ramp region connecting the pocket region to the bed. The bed is formed by a hinge cut and a first ring cut at lower laser energies, followed by a bed cut and then a second ring cut, which ensures that any location in the flap bed is cut twice to minimize tissue adhesion. The side cut is formed by multiple side-cut layers at different depths which are joined together. All cuts are formed by scanning a laser scan line generated by the resonant scanner.
