Patent number: 8066372Abstract: This invention is a game platform for the assessment and/or treatment of disorders of binocular vision, such as amblyopia. The game content is devised to maximize the possible therapeutic effects by leveraging advanced research in ophthalmology, as well as advanced display technology to render images independently to each eye. In particular, the game content engages both eyes at different levels of difficulty, forcing an amblyopic eye to work harder to regain its performance in the visual system. The invention herein described provides a mobile device, capable of interaction with an eye care specialist, for the assessment/treatment of binocular vision using innovative mechanisms for ensuring proper use thereof.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2010Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: McGill UniversityInventors: Jeremy Cooperstock, Thang Long To, Jeff Blum, Robert F. Hess, Benjamin Simon Thompson

Patent number: 7337390Abstract: A method of embedding voice data in a computing system includes detecting a record event and detecting if a software application currently running on the computing system is voice-aware. The method also includes embedding the voice data within associated data in the software application, if the software application is voice-aware. If the software application is not voice-aware, the method also includes triggering a voice note application to record and store the voice data. A method in a computing system for modifying a user interface displayed on a display device includes receiving an indication from the computing device to modify the user interface. The method further includes displaying an identification block, a record toolbar, a note pad, and a note tab.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2004Date of Patent: February 26, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Charlton E. Lui, Jeff Blum, Michael Jay Parks, Kevin Phillip Paulson
