Publication number: 20230138968Abstract: The present disclosure provides metalloporphyrin and metallochlorin compounds (e.g., compounds of Formula (II) and (III)), which are useful in the preparation of optical devices (e.g., contact lenses, intraocular lenses, implantable contact lenses) that protect retinal pigment epithelium by the selective blocking of blue light. Also provided are precursor porphyrin and chlorin compounds (e.g., compounds of Formula (I)), and compositions and optical devices incorporating the compounds of the disclosure. Also provided are methods of selecting appropriate metalloporphyrin and metallochlorin compounds for incorporation into optical devices wherein the devices mitigate damage to retinal epithelial cells while balancing changes to luminous transmission, discomfort glare, color distortion, and disruption of circadian rhythms.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Applicant: High Performance Optics, Inc.Inventors: Mark Acerson, David Owen Baumann, Dustin Cefalo, Frank Chang, Peter Haaland, Troy Holland, Andrew Ishak, Raja Gabadage Waruna E.

Patent number: 7333921Abstract: A sensor system and method for collecting and analyzing sensor data transmitted by various distributed sensors in a secure, scalable, and efficient manner. Sensors having sensor data to transmit establish concurrent connections with a central server that is configured to collect the sensor data. For each connection, the server generates a single writer thread dedicated to the connection. Each single writer thread accesses the server's underlying file system and writes the sensor data into a sensor file dedicated to the sensor. Each sensor file is written by a single writer thread, but may be concurrently read by multiple reader threads. Analysis threads may also concurrently access the sensor files to perform complex analyses of the stored sensor data. The analysis results are written to dedicated analysis files. The analysis threads act as single writer threads in writing to the analysis files.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2006Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Inventors: Stephen Taylor, Peter Haaland
