Abstract: A joulemeter is capable of non-destructively measuring multiple characteristics of a laser beam. The joulemeter comprises a series of parallel probe beams, which are directed though a transparent media adjacent to an absorbing media that the tested beams pass through. Arrays of optical sensors or a chirp sensor are used to intercept and measure deflections the probe beams. A control unit renders measurements on selected properties of the laser.

Abstract: Disclosed is the surprising discovery that prostanoids function to effectively increase the transport of therapeutic agents into the eye. The invention thus provides new methods, combinations, formulations, compositions and kits for prophylactic and therapeutic intervention in various ocular diseases, disorders and infections and in combined use with surgical intervention.

Abstract: An underwater diving assistant device. In one embodiment, the present invention comprises a hand-held unit including a display screen. Messages and drawings are written on the display screen using a passive electromagnetic pen. Markings on the screen can be instantly cleared, stored or transmitted to another, similar device by placing the electromagnetic pen in proximity to a command icon on the screen. The unit includes standard dive computer functions. In one embodiment, the unit includes a digital camera and a vessel locator, and generates audible tones under various circumstances. In one embodiment, a power source of the unit is stored in a container fastened to a diver's weight belt and is connected by a tether to the unit.
