  • Publication number: 20250032314
    Abstract: In implementations of systems for management of dry eye syndrome, a palpebral fissure width is determined as a distance between a medial canthus and a lateral canthus of closed eyelids. An ideal eyelash length is generated based on the distance. Prostheses having the ideal eyelash length are attached to candidate eyelashes of an upper eyelid of the closed eyelids. The prostheses introduce a turbulence to airflow around a tear film which prevents the tear film from evaporating. Dry eye syndrome is managed by preventing the tear film from evaporating.

  • Publication number: 20230323993
    Abstract: A breakaway coupling system for an offloading string comprises a first coupling part 101 and a second coupling part 102. The coupling parts are connectable together to form a conduit through which fluid can flow and separable from each other to seal the conduit. The system further comprises movement sensing means 160, 162, 166, 168 arranged to sense movement of the two coupling parts relative to each other and transmission means arranged to transmit a separation signal in response to sensing of the relative movement.

  • Patent number: 11654049
    Abstract: An instrument for isolating candidate eyelashes to attach prostheses includes an instrument tip which has a tip aperture. A candidate eyelash is disposed in a distal slot of the tip aperture. The instrument tip is advanced relative to the candidate eyelash and the instrument tip applies a force to eyelashes that are adjacent to the candidate eyelash. The application of the force actuates the eyelashes that are adjacent to the candidate eyelash away from the candidate eyelash. The candidate eyelash is actuated into an open area of the tip aperture and a prosthesis is attached to the candidate eyelash.

  • Patent number: 11464340
    Abstract: A seat includes a seat surface having a periphery and a carrier overmolded onto the seat surface over the periphery. The carrier has a periphery and a frame is overmolded onto the carrier over the carrier periphery. The seat is assembled without fasteners. A method for making the seat includes overmolding a carrier onto a periphery of a seat surface to form a seat surface/carrier assembly, tensioning the seat surface/carrier assembly in a mold and overmolding a frame onto a periphery of the seat surface/carrier assembly.

  • Publication number: 20070279195
    Abstract: A radio frequency identification transponder includes a power supply and a dynamic memory array that stores data. When power from the power supply ceases, the data in the dynamic memory array is validly maintained for a predetermined period of time. The dynamic memory array is responsive to an interrogating signal for selectively updating the data. A radio frequency identification transponder includes a signal processor that extracts an identifier from the interrogation signal and is responsive to the identifier and the stored data to determine whether some or all of the identifier is stored in the dynamic memory array.
