  • Publication number: 20230190526
    Abstract: Methods and systems for performing laser-assisted surgery on an eye form one or more small anchoring capsulotomies in the lens capsule of the eye. The one or more anchoring capsulotomies are configured to accommodate corresponding anchoring features of an intraocular lens and/or to accommodate one or more drug-eluting members. A method for performing laser-assisted eye surgery on an eye having a lens capsule includes forming an anchoring capsulotomy in the lens capsule and coupling an anchoring feature of the intraocular lens with the anchoring capsulotomy. The anchoring capsulotomy is formed by using a laser to incise the lens capsule. The anchoring feature can protrude transverse to a surface of the intraocular lens that interfaces with the lens capsule adjacent to the anchoring capsulotomy.

  • Publication number: 20210387094
    Abstract: A system for playing a picture messaging game includes a game sewer, one or more computing devices, a storage medium, and at least one processor for executing instructions to create and run the picture messaging game. The game includes capturing, modifying, and labelling a captured image via user input, and transmitting a game request or picture puzzle with the modified image to a participating user who attempts to solve the game or picture puzzle under timed conditions or other constraints. The system also allows a user to create a picture puzzle for security purposes, and to use the picture puzzle as a key for entry into one or more of the user's devices, accounts, or websites, or as a form of Captcha for differentiating computers from human users attempting to access a website or website content.

  • Patent number: 10610410
    Abstract: Methods and systems for performing laser-assisted surgery on an eye form a layer of bubbles in the Berger's space of the eye to increase separation between the posterior portion of the lens capsule of the eye and the anterior hyaloid surface of the eye. A laser is used to form the layer of bubbles in the Berger's space. The increased separation between the posterior portion of the lens capsule and the anterior hyaloid surface can be used to facilitate subsequent incision of the posterior portion of the lens capsule with decreased risk of compromising the anterior hyaloid surface. For example, the layer of bubbles can be formed prior to performing a capsulotomy on the posterior portion of the lens capsule.

  • Publication number: 20070244472
    Abstract: A device and method are provided for grafting a donor component onto a recipient member. In the method, a void in the recipient member is defined by a boundary with predetermined dimensions. Similarly, the donor component is specified as having a boundary with predetermined dimensions that are substantially compatible with the void. Thereafter, suture paths are created in the donor component and the recipient member. When the donor component has been positioned in the void of the recipient member, the suture paths are aligned. Then, a suture is passed through the suture path and across the respective boundaries to secure the donor component to the recipient member.

  • Patent number: 6401241
    Abstract: SYSTEM V utilities enable software developers to provide delivery of complex packages onto a UNIX operating system. An enhancement to the UNIX System V ABI format called class archive format enables sets of files to be combined into archives, these files being compressed or encrypted. The compressed/encrypted ABI package install with behavior defined in System V ABI. The class archive format allows a manufacturer to combine files from the ABI format reloc directory and root directory, into an archive directory. Class action format adds a directory called archive to the ABI format. Any class of files that are intended for archive is combined into a single file, and each file is then placed into the archive directory as class1, class2, etc. All files that are archived in this manner are removed from the standard ABI reloc directory and root directory, and an install class action script is placed into the scripts portion of the standard ABI install directory.
