  • Display devices with wavelength-dependent reflectors for eye tracking
    Patent number: 11409116
    Abstract: An eye-tracking system includes two mirrors. A first mirror is positioned to transmit light, received at a first incident angle, reflected off an eye of a user toward a second mirror. The first mirror is also positioned to reflect the light, reflected from the second mirror, at a second incident angle. The second mirror is inclined from the first mirror so that the light transmitted through the first mirror is reflected by the second mirror toward the first mirror at a first reflection angle. The light reflected by the second mirror is reflected by the first mirror toward the second mirror at a second reflection angle greater than the first reflection angle. The eye-tracking system also includes one or more sensors positioned to detect the light reflected by the first mirror and the second mirror for determining a gaze direction of the eye of the user.

  • Negative pressure wound therapy apparatuses and methods for using the same
    Patent number: 11395870
    Abstract: Embodiments of negative pressure wound therapy systems, apparatuses, and methods for operating the systems and apparatuses are disclosed. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a negative pressure source, a connector port, at least one switch, and a controller. The negative pressure source is connected through the connector port to either (i) a wound dressing having a canister configured to store fluid aspirated from the wound or (ii) a wound dressing without a canister between the connector port and the wound dressing. The controller determines, based on a signal received from the at least one switch, whether the canister is positioned in the fluid flow path and adjusts one or more operational parameters of negative pressure wound therapy based on the determination. The switch is activated by the connection of either the canister or canisterless wound dressing to the apparatus.
