Patent number: 11911263Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for storing and/or shipping an intraocular lens (IOL) cartridge are provided. A system comprises a packaging comprising a passage. The IOL cartridge is removably disposed within the passage. The IOL cartridge comprises a nozzle and a compartment configured to receive an IOL. The nozzle is in fluid communication with the compartment. The IOL cartridge further comprises a dial configured to rotate upon withdrawal of the IOL cartridge from the passage, wherein an inner surface of the dial is exposed to the compartment. The dial is configured to fold the IOL and release the IOL cartridge from the packaging upon rotation of the dial.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Alcon Inc.Inventors: Sudarshan B.

Patent number: 11493666Abstract: Currently available weather forecasts, which include a specific snowfall accumulation or range, do not convey the probability that snowfall will be within the forecasted snowfall accumulation range, probabilities of other snowfall accumulation amounts, or a forecaster's level of confidence. A snowfall probability distribution forecasting system is disclosed that uses a rules-based process to leverage third party weather forecasts, including members of ensemble forecasts, to generate snowfall probability distributions forecasting the most likely snowfall accumulation range, the probability that snowfall accumulation will be within the most likely snowfall accumulation range, and probabilities that snowfall accumulation will be outside of the most likely snowfall accumulation range. To ensure consistency with the deterministic forecast, the snowfall probability distribution may be shifted based on a deterministic forecast.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: AccuWeather, Inc.Inventors: Daniel DePodwin, Jonathan Porter, Michael R. Root

Publication number: 20150127358Abstract: Methods and apparatus for facilitating coordination of care. A method of transmitting care coordination data to a healthcare provider associated with a patient based, at least in part, on a proximity of the patient to a healthcare facility may involve determining, with at least one processor, whether the proximity of the patient to the healthcare facility satisfies a criterion. The method may further involve transmitting the care coordination data to the healthcare provider associated with the patient after it is determined that the proximity of the patient to the healthcare facility satisfies the criterion.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2013Publication date: May 7, 2015Applicant: athenahealth, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Porter, Stephen Porter
