  • Patent number: 7942523
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a polarized lens. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of treating a polarized film with a composition to form a treated polarized film, providing a front lens mold having a concave surface with a curvature, spin-coating a hard coat composition onto the concave surface of the front lens mold to form a hard coat layer thereon, forming a first adhesive layer on the hard coat layer, placing the treated polarized film on the adhesive layer, curing the adhesive layer with UV or visible light to bond the treated polarized film to the hard coat layer, thereby forming a polarized front lens mold, and forming a polarized lens with the polarized front lens mold.

  • Publication number: 20060271056
    Abstract: An osteotome instrument for use in computer assisted surgery is disclosed. The instrument includes a shaft, a connector, a handle, and a cutter component. The handle has a proximal end portion and a distal end portion. The cutter component is connected to the handle at the distal end portion. The connector is releasably connected to the handle at the proximal end portion, and the connector is adapted to rotate about the shaft relative to the handle. A fiducial for tracking is connected to the connector.

  • Publication number: 20050124988
    Abstract: A modular portal for use with a computer-aided surgical navigation system. The modular portal is configured to receive a wide number of surgical items in either rotating or non-rotating fashions. A surgical reference associated with a base of the modular portal may be repositioned with respect to the base to facilitate a clear line of sight between a sensor of the computer-aided surgical navigation system and the surgical reference.

  • Publication number: 20050075632
    Abstract: Surgical positioners may include platforms, surgical item positioners and/or surgical references as well as methods for using stabilizer platforms, surgical item positioners and/or surgical references. Stabilizer platforms may include low profile platforms rigidly mounted to portions of an individual's anatomy. Various items may be secured and/or stabilized by the stabilizer platform, including support platforms as well as surgical references. Support platforms may stabilize and assist surgeons in using, navigating, aligning and positioning surgical items. Surgical references may include modular fiducial systems that may be secured to stabilizer platforms, support platforms, surgical items and/or directly to portions of an individual's anatomy.
