Publication number: 20250032314Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Applicant: DEL, LLCInventors: Nancy M. Holekamp, Rita E. Hindmon, Michael Stanton Korenfeld

Publication number: 20230323993Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2021Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Ian Latimer, Michael Stanton

Patent number: 11654049Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: DEL, LLCInventors: Nancy M. Holekamp, Rita E. Hindmon, Michael Stanton Korenfeld

Patent number: 11464340Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2019Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Craig Martin Oomen, Randy James Sayers, Robert A.
