  • Patent number: 11982684
    Abstract: Systems, methods and programs are provided for automated science experiments which use a model with learnt model parameters to define points for physical-characteristic measurements once the model is trained. The systems, methods and programs use active learning which enables describing a relationship between local features of sample-surface structure shown in image patches and determined representations of physical-characteristic measurements.

  • Patent number: 5334172
    Abstract: A device and method for injecting fluids into a self-lubricating ocular prosthesis with an orifice to a bore opening into a chamber to hold the fluid, the device including a compressible container to hold the fluid, with a hollow tubular nozzle with a pointed end tip that seats it into the orifice such that a seal is accomplished to allow squirting the fluid into the one-half millimeter orifice.

  • Patent number: 5171265
    Abstract: A self-lubricating ocular prosthesis includes a solid rigid prosthetic eye body with a chamber in the body opening through an access passage through the posterior surface of the body closed with a releasable cap having an outside face conforming to the posterior surface of the body which abuts the orbital cavity. The cap is of a semi-rigid or flexible polymeric resin to retain a fluid in the chamber which is dispensed through bore openings from the chamber through the surface of the eye body. Liquid may be inserted directly into the cavity through the bore opening while the prosthesis is in place. The prosthesis may also include a dispensing ball or depressible button to dispense fluid from the prosthesis.
