Publication number: 20240066662Abstract: A mandrel assembly may be used with a rotary power tool to provide a reliable and stable connection between the rotary tool and a tool accessory. The mandrel assembly provides a quick-connect/quick-release connection between the tool output shaft and the accessory via a clamping action. In particular, the mandrel assembly is movable between a first configuration in which the accessory may clamped tween a clamping element formed on one end of the mandrel and a collar which surrounds the mandrel and a second configuration in which the accessory may be loaded onto or detached from the mandrel assembly. Movement from the first configuration to the second configuration, and from the second configuration to the first configuration each include axial motion in combination with a rotation of the mandrel in the same direction relative to the collar.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Jeremy Rubens, Caitlyn Miklasz, Alexander Hills

Patent number: 11122999Abstract: The present system can measure eye gaze position and detect, in near real-time, smooth eye movements that are driven by a moving stimulus. Smooth movements that match the velocity of a moving stimulus provide evidence that the subject can see the moving stimulus. The present system can give real-time feedback to the user, for example in the form of music, contingent on the ability of the user to perform smooth velocity-matched eye movements. The present system can measure visual impairment and train visual ability both for rehabilitation and development purposes.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: CORNELL UNIVERSITYInventors: Nicholas Jeremy Hill, Glen T. Prusky, Jason B. Carmel

Publication number: 20200121179Abstract: Contrast sensitivity is an informative measure of visual function, but current tools for assessing it are limited by the attentional, motor, and communicative abilities of the participant. These participants are often less able to engage with psychophysical tasks or follow an experiment's instructions, and alternative approaches have disadvantages that limit their usefulness in clinical settings. Here, we describe an efficient new measure of contrast sensitivity—‘Curveball’—that continuously infers stimulus visibility through smooth eye tracking instead of perceptual report. The procedure rapidly lowers stimulus contrast in real time until the threshold is found. The task is repeatable, well-correlated with results from conventional psychophysical methods, and sensitive to improvements in visual acuity from refractive correction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2019Publication date: April 23, 2020Inventors: Glen Prusky, Scott William Joseph Mooney, Nicholas Jeremy Hill
