  • Patent number: 11452448
    Abstract: A system for determination of intraocular pressure includes: an intraocular pressure sensor; a light source illuminating the sensor with one or more wavelengths of light; and a detector that measures emitted light from the sensor. The sensor includes a substrate member, a spacer member, and a flexible membrane, which define a sealed cavity. The flexible membrane moves in response to intraocular pressure changes. A device for measuring intraocular pressure includes: the sensor; an anchoring member attached to the sensor for immobilizing the sensor in an eye; and a protective member attached to the anchoring member and covering the sensor to prevent contact between the flexible membrane and the eye. A method for determination of intraocular pressure includes: placing the sensor in an eye; illuminating, with a light source, the sensor with one or more wavelengths of light; and detecting, with a detector, a resultant light that contains information about intraocular pressure.

  • Publication number: 20210298947
    Abstract: A method of implanting includes steps of making a corneal incision of the eye, inserting the eye implantation device into the eye through the corneal incision and securing the eye implantation device by engaging the eye implantation device at three points with the iridocorneal angle of the anterior chamber of the eye into which the device is implanted.

  • Publication number: 20210228155
    Abstract: A method for implanting an eye implant into an eye of an individual or patient includes the steps of making a corneal incision of the eye, inserting the eye implant into the eye through the corneal incision and securing the eye implant so that the eye implant is bounded by an edge of the pupil and an iridocorneal angle of an anterior chamber of the eye.

  • Patent number: 10842422
    Abstract: A low-cost compact fiberless diffuse speckle contrast flowmeter includes a small laser diode and a 2-dimensional imaging device such as a charge coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) for directly contacting the tissue and measuring a parameter such as blood flow in a deep/thick volume of tissue (up to 10 mm depth). The small laser diode is fixed at a certain distance (0 to 20 mm) from the imaging device and directly contacts the tissue. Light emitted from the laser diode penetrates through the tissue and reflects back to the imaging device without passing through any lenses or fibers. One or more additional laser diodes may be added for producing light at different wavelengths, and the combination of measurements taken by the imaging device at the different wavelengths allows for measuring additional parameters, such as both blood flow and blood oxygenation.

  • Publication number: 20110293847
    Abstract: A system or method of charge particle beam induced materials processing is disclosed. A charged particle beam (electron or ion) is focused at the interface of a substrate and a bulk liquid. The beam induces a localized chemical reaction that results in deposition or etching of deterministic micro- or nano-scale structures. The bulk liquid reactants permit the deposition and etching of metals, semiconductors, and insulators. A charged particle transparent membrane separates the liquid reactant from the vacuum chamber in which the beam is transmitted. In many cases, bulk liquid reactants permit processing of materials with much higher purity that of the prior art and permit processing of materials previously unavailable in charged particle beam processes.
