Abstract: The present disclosure includes apparatuses, methods, and systems for three-state programming of memory cells. An embodiment includes a memory having a plurality of memory cells, and circuitry configured to program a memory cell of the plurality of memory cells to one of three possible data states by applying a voltage pulse to the memory cell, determining whether the memory cell snaps back in response to the applied voltage pulse, and applying an additional voltage pulse to the memory cell based on the determination of whether the memory cell snaps back.

Abstract: An instrument for imaging the eye and performing ophthalmic diagnostic tests is disclosed that obtain images of the structures of the eye using imaging technology such as optical coherence tomography (OCT). To assist with such imaging and/or provide additional diagnostics, the ophthalmic diagnostic instrument may additionally include a display for presenting images to the subject whose eyes and vision are being evaluated. This display system may comprise a MEMS (microelectromechanical system) scanning mirror.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for eye tracking using an optical coherence tomography (OCT) device are disclosed. Such eye tracking may be performed by using information about the shape of the cornea and the corneal apex or using the iris/pupil border obtained using the OCT device.

Abstract: A mask for performing an eye exam of a subject includes one or more optically transparent sections for transmitting an incident light beam therethrough and incident on the subject's eye. In some embodiments, the one or more optically transparent sections are coated with an anti-reflective coating configured to reduce reflection of the incident light beam by the one or more optically transparent sections. In some embodiments, the one or more optically transparent sections may have a portion thereof that is tilted with respect to the incident light beam when the mask is optically interfaced with the docking portion of an ophthalmic instrument, such that the incident light beam forms a finite angle of incidence with respect to the corresponding portion of the optically transparent sections.

Abstract: An electronic healthcare data de-identification system can accept data containing personally-identifiable information and output de-identified healthcare data that is uniquely identifiable and has preserved temporal order. The unique identity of the de-identified healthcare data is preserved with universally unique identifiers and the temporal order of the de-identified healthcare data is maintained with universally unique sequence values that synchronize the timing of healthcare events. The embodiments described herein make healthcare data more accessible to users without endangering their privacy and allow conclusions to be made from large sets of data without restricting its use due to privacy concerns. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: An inflatable mask with two ocular cavities can seal against a user's face by forming an air-tight seal around the periphery of the user's eye socket. The sealed air-tight ocular cavity can be pressurized to take ocular measurements. The mask can conform to the contours of a user's face by inflating or deflating the mask. In addition, the distance between the user and a medical device (e.g. an optical coherence tomography instrument) can be adjusted by inflating or deflating the mask. Also disclosed herein is an electronic encounter portal and an automated eye examination. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: A visor for visual stimulation of visually impaired subjects is shown. The visor comprises a frame, a coil, a camera and a mounting system. A connector allows the coil to be positioned along a first direction. A sliding device allows the coil to be positioned along a second direction. Positioning of the visor on a subject's nose allows the coil to be positioned along a third direction. Positioning of the coil along the first, second or third direction is useful to maximize coupling RF coupling between the coil and an internal coil implanted on a subject wearing the visor.

Abstract: Arrangements disclosed herein relate to a disposable probe system for use in an ultrasound system, the probe system includes a disposable probe configured to transmit or receive acoustic energy, and a base included in the ultrasound system. The disposable probe is configured to be removably attached to the base.
