Abstract: In various embodiments, actuation of a drug-delivery pump is controlled based on a change in a condition of the pump.

Abstract: A vitrector with integrated imaging capability may include a vitrector tube, a tubular cutter, an actuation mechanism, an optical fiber, and a lens structure for focusing light coupled into the lens structure from the optical fiber beyond the distal end so as to image a region about the focus.

Abstract: An imaging probe may be responsive to a detector and an activator for processing an interferometric signal received from the detector and, in response to user actuation of the activator, for causing capture of an image or a video of the sample and storage thereof in a memory.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically comparing obtained wireless device location information from a wireless network and comparing that location with another independent source geographic location is provided. Location information is derived from two or more sources in a multiplicity of ways and a comparison is made within a Location Comparison Engine. The Location Comparison Engine makes use of databases that assist in resolving obtained raw positioning information and converting that positioning information into one or more formats for adequate location comparison. Results of location comparison are deduced to determine if the wireless device is in some proximity to some other activity source location. Other location information used for comparison may be obtained from a multiplicity of sources, such as another network based on some activity of wireless device user, another wireless device via a wireless network, or any system capable of providing location information to the Location Comparison Engine.

Abstract: An imaging probe may utilize one or more suitably shaped lens structure to deflect light off-axis, allowing for the acquisition of B-scans by rotary or reciprocating motion of the lens. In some embodiments, a rotary joint is integrated into the probe to couple the lens structure(s) to, for example, an external imaging console.

Abstract: A spiral-coil antenna conforming to a non-planar contour is deployed, in various embodiments, in an implantable device for controllably ejecting fluid into an anatomic region. The antenna facilitates wireless communications with the implantable device and external charging thereof. In one implementation, the device has a non-planar contour and the spiral coil defines a non-planar surface conforming to the non-planar contour.

Abstract: Drug pump devices may be remotely controlled and/or reprogrammed by a smartphone or other wireless handheld device.

Abstract: In various embodiments, optical-imaging systems incorporate non-mechanical beam-actuation systems to facilitate the acquisition of, e.g., two- and three-dimensional images.

Abstract: A multiplexed OCT imaging system includes a plurality of sample arms, an imaging engine, and an optical controller. The sample arms are optically coupled to the imaging engine via the optical controller; the optical controller multiplexes optical signals from the sample arms to permit some of the sample arms to operate sequentially or simultaneously.

Abstract: A combination includes an OCT system, an optical instrument, optics defining an optical path from the optical instrument to a target, and secondary optics for coupling the OCT system to the optical path. This combination permits simultaneous operation of the OCT system and the optical instrument.

Abstract: A probe assembly includes a forward-imaging optical coherence tomography (OCT) probe having a field of view and an instrument, adjacent to the probe, for performing manipulations at least within the OCT field of view.

Abstract: An electrode carrier includes multiple electrodes, each electrode having a contact located at a different position along a distal end of the carrier, and multiple optical fibers, each associated with one of the electrodes and having an end face proximate to the contact of the associated electrode. Each optical fiber end face may capture optical information from tissue adjacent to the associated contact. The electrode carrier may be used for interfacing with an OCT system and a neural signal system.

Abstract: Drug pump devices may be remotely controlled and/or reprogrammed by a smartphone or other wireless handheld device.

Abstract: The filling status of a drug reservoir in a drug pump devices may be determined with mechanical and/or magnetic position sensor associated with a reservoir boundary.

Abstract: In various embodiments, actuation of a drug-delivery pump is controlled based on a change in a condition of the pump.

Abstract: A device includes a handpiece having a probe tip disposed at an end thereof, and, connected to the handpiece such that, at the probe tip, a functionality of each is provided, a plurality of probes. The probes may include an optical coherence tomography (OCT) probe, an endoillumination probe, a laser therapy probe, an ultrasound imaging probe, an electrocautery probe, an RF ablation probe, a cryosurgical probe, an irrigator, and/or a mechanical probe.

Abstract: A system, for use with a cannula insertable into human or animal tissue, for measuring relative motion during a surgical procedure includes a probe having a probe tip insertable into the cannula, and means for determining relative motion between the cannula and the probe tip.

Abstract: An imaging method includes providing a handpiece having a probe tip insertable into human or animal tissue disposed at an end thereof, and, an optical coherence tomography (OCT) probe connected to the handpiece such that a functionality of the OCT probe is provided at the probe tip. The probe tip is disposed adjacent to or into human or animal tissue. Imaging of the tissue, measuring at least one of a feature size or a quantifiable characteristic of a structure in the tissue for biometry analysis, and/or performing a diagnostic procedure on the tissue or a device implanted in the tissue is performed with the OCT probe.
