Abstract: A method for the remote optimization of a task lamp that provides a practitioner the ability to alter task lamp lighting to suit a particular user in that user's environment without requiring the practitioner to be present in the same location. To effect such a method the practitioner and the user may be connected remotely, preferably via a video call, and the practitioner may be able to remotely control a task lamp set up by the user at their own location. The task lamp may be wirelessly connected to the practitioner via built-in hardware and a proprietary software, or may be wirelessly connected to the user via built-in hardware and a proprietary software that is connected to the practitioner's proprietary software. The task lamp may also be adjusted by the user independently. It is to these ends that the present invention has been developed.

Abstract: Regioselectively substituted cellulose esters having a plurality of pivaloyl substituents and a plurality of aryl-acyl substituents are disclosed along with methods for making the same. Such cellulose esters may be suitable for use in films, such as +A optical films, and/or +C optical films. Optical films prepared employing such cellulose esters have a variety of commercial applications, such as, for example, as compensation films in liquid crystal displays and/or waveplates in creating circular polarized light used in 3-D technology.

Abstract: A variable hue task lamp with novel hue selection component is disclosed herein. The color and intensity of a task lamp is adjusted using a wireless connection from a device such as a smart phone, tablet, or computing device based upon an optimization method using a sample text or scene. The user first optimizes hue by adjusting the background color of the sample text or picture on the device. The optimum hue is then communicated to the task light, which sets light emitting diode intensities to match the optimum choice. Presets further localize choices in color space, and a comparison to white verifies the benefits of the chosen hue.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring eye blink mechanics is disclosed herein. One or more sensors mounted on an eyeglass frame may record blink mechanics over an extended period of time, typically longer than can be observed by a doctor during the course of a clinical examination, using camera imaging or infrared reflection. The system and method for monitoring eye blink mechanics provides a simultaneous record of blink rate and drying of the tear film, and may also monitor completeness of the individual blink process. Recorded data may be downloaded to a data processing system for analysis, the results of which are used to indicate treatment for DES, DBM, and other blink related pathologies. The system may also provide treatment through feedback based on real-time measurements by training the patient to correct dysfunctional blink mechanics as they are occurring.

Abstract: An interlayer comprising a first polymer layer, a polarization rotary optical film and optionally a second polymer layer, and multiple layer panels formed from such interlayers. The panels may exhibit desirable optical properties, including, for example, less image “ghosting,” when used as part of a heads-up-display (HUD) display panel for use in automotive and aircraft applications.
