Abstract: An image processor comprises a plurality of processing modules coupled together in series. Each of at least two of the processing modules includes an image data input to receive at least one of i) an original image or ii) image data output by a previous processing module in the series. Each of the at least two of the processing modules also includes a processing unit configured to i) detect that image data is to be generated and ii) process image data received via the at least one image data input to generate image data. Each of the at least two of the processing modules also includes a memory to store image data generated by the processing unit.

Abstract: A system and method for dynamically linking or connecting annotations to embedded content, such as a 3D model, using graphical elements within a two-dimensional space is provided. Such connection is maintained as the annotation is rendered with the 3D model, thereby enabling the annotations to intelligently update themselves using 3D information from the embedded content. Further, the capability, as provided herein, to manipulate viewing positions and perspective effects of an embedded 3D model without disrupting the annotations in the two-dimensional page layout provides a greater degree of flexibility and forgiveness.

Abstract: A modular IOL system including intraocular primary and secondary components, which, when combined, form an intraocular optical correction device, wherein the secondary component is placed on the primary component within the perimeter of the capsulorhexis, thus avoiding the need to touch or otherwise manipulate the capsular bag. The secondary component may be manipulated, removed, and/or exchanged for a different secondary component for correction or modification of the optical result, on an intra-operative or post-operative basis, without the need to remove the primary component and without the need to manipulate the capsular bag. The primary component may have haptics extending therefrom for centration in the capsular bag, and the secondary component may exclude haptics, relying instead on attachment to the primary component for stability. Such attachment may include actuatable interlocking members.

Abstract: Devices and methods that mitigate reperfusion injury (RI) in a clinically practical manner so as to avoid significantly increasing time to reperfusion. In general, these systems and methods involve an antegrade approach to deliver a fluid to the myocardium at risk of RI before, during and after reperfusion is established by a percutaneous coronary intervention such as aspiration and stenting.

Such attachment may reside radially inside the perimeter of the capsulorhexis and radially outside the field of view to avoid interference with light transmission.

Abstract: Olfactory devices and methods for partially or completely blocking, masking or otherwise reducing olfactory input to mitigate adverse responses thereto. In one embodiment, a method of treating a patient with an olfactory-triggered condition may include diagnosing the patient's olfactory-triggered condition. In response to the diagnosis, the method may further include placing an olfactory device over an olfactory area in a nasal cavity of the patient to mitigate the olfactory-triggered condition.

Abstract: In a computer-aided design system, a workspace to be is displayed on a display device, and an object is displayed in the workspace. A user input indicating selection of a tool is received, and a user input indicating selection of the object is received. In response to the user input indicating selection of the tool and the user input indicating selection of the object, a set of first grips and a second grip is displayed on the display device in association with the object. A user input indicating movement of the second grip to a desired location is received. In response to the user input indicating movement of the second grip to the desired location, a snap point is created at the desired location.

Abstract: A computer-aided design system and method facilitates the editing of an object in a workspace of a computer aided design system. A user input indicating selection of an affine tool is received, and a user input indicating selection of the object is received. It is determined whether an additional user input is received. If it is determined that the additional user input is not received, a first set of user-activatable affine functions for manipulating the object is enabled. The first set of user-activatable affine functions includes a move function to move the object in the workspace and a resize function to resize the object. If it is determined that the additional user input is received, a second set of user-activatable functions for manipulating the object is enabled. The second set of user-activatable affine functions includes a skew function to skew the object.

Abstract: A composite document system is implemented as instructions stored on a computer-readable medium. When executed on a processor, the instructions cause the processor to receive model data that describes a three-dimensional model of an object, where the three-dimensional model is generated using a modeling software, and where the model data conforms to a non-image format of the modeling software. The instructions further cause the processor to receive web page data that includes content and description of the content in a mark-up language, generate a composite document that includes the model data and the web page data, interpret the model data in the composite document to generate a visual representation of the three-dimensional model, and interpret the web page data in the composite document to generate a visual representation of the web page data.
